Rock-N-Java - Hwy 65 (Marshall)…read more Sometimes, it's necessary to stop and smell the roses. Or, in this case, fresh mountainous air and be lost in picturesque landscape. Caution: you may produce tears from the beautiful views. If you love nature and coffee, this might be the absolute perfect spot for you. This cute, little blue cabin structure offers local roasted coffees, teas and other drinks. As well as, freshly made daily, pastries. I was driving through for a meeting in Harrison, AR and wanted to stop by and get medium coffee for my two-hour meeting. I also ordered, "Jalapeño Sausage Biscuit." Normally, I don't order sausage or biscuit, but this was homemade. The taste and texture spoke for itself. Sometimes, biscuits will either be made in a way where they're too hard or too soft/saggy. But I can honestly say, this was unexpectedly perfect biscuit. The young gentleman was so friendly and polite. When I ordered coffee, he brewed me a fresh batch, even though I was the only one in the store. They offer nine different full-leaf teas in glass jars. Along with sixteen different coffee flavors. Besides good drink and food, you can also explore and purchase varieties of rocks that are homemade by the owners, of this family-owned place. If you love picturesque nature, supporting small businesses and good coffee, Rock-N-Java is a must stop for you. They offer plenty of parking spaces for you to order your drink and walk over to the edge of the cliff and be lost in fresh air and gorgeous mountain scenery.

The place is big inside with a lot of tables and there is a ton of tables on a nice outdoor patio too. The service was great! They were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time we were there. They had cinnamon swirl pancakes with icing and they were fantastic. I also got their eggs and sausage which were very good. My wife got a side of biscuits n gravy which were good, but one was partially burnt. Their iced coffees were out (or not working) which was a bummer. However, overall, we had a great time and a really good meal. Cannot wait to get back here to eat again!!!

Nice, clean friendly place that opened at the end of 2021 I believe. Daily lunch specials, deserts and good coffee from an Italian espresso machine make it appealing to us. Glad to see new restaurant businesses opening after losing too many in the last 24 months. Hope to be back soon. And that maybe affogatos will be available in the future, since they are located there with the ice cream shop.

Do yourself a favor...get coffee here!!! Melancholy Roasting…read morein Ava, Missouri deserves every bit of a five‑star shoutout. The moment you walk in, you feel that perfect blend of small‑town warmth and genuine craft coffee culture. The aroma alone could fix a bad day -- rich, toasty, and clearly roasted with intention. Their beans have this depth you don't usually find outside big‑city specialty shops. Smooth, balanced, and full of character. Whether you're grabbing a simple drip or something more adventurous, everything tastes like it was made by someone who truly cares about the craft. The atmosphere is relaxed in the best way -- cozy without feeling cramped, welcoming without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can settle in with a book, meet a friend, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a seriously good cup of coffee. If you're anywhere near Ava, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. Melancholy Roasting is one of those rare gems that makes a town feel more like home.

One thing I really appreciated is that they have a separate line/cashier for food, which keeps things moving and makes the whole experience feel efficient, even when it's busy. The place itself was clean, the staff was super friendly, and service was quick. Overall, just a really solid stop to recharge before getting back on the road.
