    Inside
    Shawn V.

    This place has a lot going for it! The food is really good for starters! They serve breakfast and lunch (and ice cream). Plus, as their namesake...COFFEE! I got a cold brew and it was pretty good. The inside is full of books and art along with tons of spots to sit and enjoy. I love all the mixed tables and chairs!! It looks like they stole all the kitchen tables:chairs from my childhood. With soft blend of music and a TV playing to keep the mood engaging. Everyone was there for something but yet again maybe they were there to find something. Either way, I am sure you can find it here. One concern is that it is a little pricey but you get one trip around the sun. And, since they played Tom Petty, then there is not much to worry about anyhow!!

    This place is the whole package! Colorful, charming! Pretty much any drink combinations from dirty sodas, coffee concoctions, lemonades, sparkling sodas! They have a ton of sandwiches/wraps/ salads, breakfast choices, and of course ice cream! Part coffee shop/eatery, part gift store! Picture funny towel sayings, trinkets, cat and dog gifts, fun stuff! The drinks were good but a bit too sweet. I had a lavender lemonade with honey boba! My dad a regular lemonade and my daughter Dr. Pepper with cotton candy flavor. We had the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, a hummus veggie wrap, and a breakfast sandwich. No complaints as they were fresh, big portions, and delicious. Whether you are looking for ice cream, a fun drink, cofantastic pastries, or a fantastic lunch you must stop by!

    Gave the hotel's free breakfast the go by as it looked just terrible: the towers of children's cereal, the fart muffins wrapped in plastic, etc. So we pushed on to Java Jive. A spacious and well-appointed coffee house that provided a tasty nosh (x2), a hot cup of light blend, the best cortado the Missus has had west of the Mississippi and the prettiest coffee shop bathroom you ever saw. And all for $12.43. An AAR Must Coffee.

    Came for breakfast yesterday and had the best quiche ever! Came back today for breakfast and had a banana nut muffin equal to my homemade banana bread. Portions are generous. Coffee drinks are all amazing. Everyone in our party was pleased. Panini are very good. There is WiFi and helpful employees. Order at the counter and pick up food when your buzzer goes off. Great eclectic assortment of comfy couches and regular tables. Friendly, neighborhood atmosphere comfortable for visitors and locals alike. Definitely the place for breakfast or a sweet treat.

    A must stop! Absolutely loved this place; exceptional service, fast friendly and served with a warm smile and lovely conversation. Great shopping experience with a little bit for everyone, with pastries and ice cream selections for everyone. Great old building (dry goods store from the 1800's) creates a great atmosphere. Located down the block from the Mark Twain Museum and a quaint downtown shopping district, this place is a must stop location while visiting the historic home of Mark Twain. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

    My first "office" of the day, I spent five hours at a table towards the back of the store with a coffee and a laptop and their Internet. Comfortable, mostly quiet and a good space. I bought a coffee and included a refill. The coffee was excellent. Tempted by a croissant, I managed to stick to my program and just drink the coffee. Great space, friendly folks and as the main coffee shop along the center of Hannibal, quite busy. [Review 19724 overall - 201 in Missouri - 696 of 2023.]

    Adorable coffee shop painted with all the fun colors, inside and out. This was our first stop as we drove into town (imagine that), you could tell this store was loved by locals as much as travelers. We picked out a few trinkets while we waited for our coffee order. Great little gift store inside. The cold rainy day could've had us hunkered down inside, but with only a day to explore we sat for a moment in one of the hodgepodge chairs and made a plan. I ordered the Snickers and the Husband ordered the Almond Joy. Warm and delicious. A bit on the sweet side for me as a normal drink, but could always alter it with the nice baristas. The perfect small town coffee shop!

    First time visiting Hannibal and I stumbled upon Java Jive and instantly obsessed. The inside was so cozy and filled with trinkets. The menu was awesome for a lunch spot. We tried the soup, sand which and a wrap. They all were so good. On the way out, we got a coffee and pasty which was a homemade pop tart and almond joy iced latte. The service was great and the atmosphere was even better. Now if I return to Hannibal, I know what will be on the list to stop at.

    A wonderful chocolate shop in historic Hannibal While…read moreexploring historic downtown Hannibal, Missouri, we decided to stop by Chocolaterie Stam. The shop is conveniently located within walking distance of many of Hannibal's attractions, making it an easy stop while we were exploring the area. If you're spending the day visiting the Mark Twain sites or strolling through downtown, it's well worth adding this to your itinerary. The first thing that struck me was how beautiful the store is. It has an old-fashioned feel that fits perfectly with the historic character of Hannibal. The candy displays inside the shop are attractive. The shop is spotless, and the entire place has a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and browse the many selections in the cases and on top as well as a lot of the historic memorabilia along the walls. . Since this was our first visit, we weren't familiar with the different chocolates and specialty items they offered. Fortunately, the staff was outstanding. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely patient as they answered our questions and explained the different chocolates. As we were leaving, I noticed a tour group from one of the Mississippi River cruise ships arriving at the store. That immediately told me this was one of the places visitors to Hannibal make a point of experiencing, and after tasting the chocolates, I completely understood why. The chocolates were excellent,. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the products and the exceptional customer service we received. Overall, this was one of our favorite stops in Hannibal. Between the charming atmosphere, outstanding staff, delicious chocolates, and reasonable prices, Chocolaterie Stam is well worth a visit. I would certainly recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a memorable treat while exploring this historic river town. Enjoy!

    Such a cute shop, but a bit of a tourist trap. I bought 2 boxes of their 14-piece chocolates…read more Unfortunately the chocolates didn't live up to the hype for the price. Service was great though. I was greeted when I walked in and the guy who helped me was very kind. I'm not sure when I'll be back in the area but I'd be willing to try their gelato or other products.

While I stood by the cash register at least 3 different ladies behind the counter passed me by. Not one greeted me or asked if I had any questions or if I wanted to purchase anything. There were no other customers ahead of me or behind me. And there were at least 5 employees all shrieking and laughing in the kitchen and having LOUD personal conversations amongst themselves. Finally someone came out and instead of saying anything to me she just stood and stared at me until I told her I wanted to order something. I ordered a salmon and broccoli bowl and a dirty soda. My wait was not long. The food and drink was surprisingly very good and the place is clean. While I wanted to come back another time and try their coffee drinks I just couldn't get myself to due to how painfully awkward it was to order here. The feeling I got was that customers are a burden.
