    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.

    I stopped by here earlier today. It is a super cute location and such a wonderful aesthetic. It really gave me such a good vibe. The outside is super colorful and inside has so many knickknacks and books to buy. They have indoor seating at little cute tables also outdoor seating. And they only have street parking. There is so much stuff to look at inside. They have coffee, ice cream, pastries, soups and sandwiches. I ordered a vanilla iced coffee which was super good. I also ordered a soup of the day which was a cabbage roll soup. I absolutely loved it. They also gave me a little roll and some crackers. I had also ordered one of their apple crumb cream cheese slices. I am not a big fan of apple slices in my desserts but this was so good. The apple crumb on top and the crust of it was so bomb. I will totally be going back to this place. It is going to turn to my go to place while I am here.

    My mother, my wife, and I saw this place last Saturday in between the Mark Twain Museum Gallery and the Mark Twain Boyhood Home so we stepped inside and ordered lunch and drinks. This place claims to be the first coffee house west of the Mississippi which we believed given how well kept their historic building is but the website says it was established in 2000. Anyways, there are plenty of amazing food and drink options and a great deal of comfortable seating as well. My wife and I shared a Red Velvet Latte and a a Cotton Candy Lotus to drink with a Turkey Chipotle Panini with an Orzo Pasta Salad on the side and a half and half of the Pollock Salad and Frida Sandwich. They also have great vegetarian options which my mother enjoyed. The service was fast and friendly. This is definitely a great surprise for such a small town and we highly recommend it for anyone coming to Hannibal or stopping by.

    Cool atmosphere- crap coffee. They seem to have little knowledge of coffee brewing. And there specialty drinks didn't blend well.

    Sandwich Heaven What a great little deli on the corner!…read moreSandwiches were awesome, the chip and beverage options are elite and the place just oozes sandoness Such a solid spot for grab a Sando. They come out fast and are delicious! Quirky interior with great wall eye candy.

    It is VERY understandable that Blues City Deli has achieved a 5 star rating on Yelp. It was great…read more I read in my preview that the line to the counter is always there...but it moves quickly...and it is and does. I had to visit Blues City as I heard they have great Po Boys...and they do. I am used to having oysters or shrimp on a Po Boy. Not here. They are basically served with many versions of meat. I had the Benton Park Po Boy and it was incredible. The sandwich has ham, roast beef, turkey, provel, and is dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, pepperoncini, sweet red pepper sauce on french bread. My wife, being vegetarian had the Panino Fresco. It included mozzarella, provolone, dressed with homemade olive salad, tomato, onion & Italian vinegar oil on an Italian roll. This was the first time in 26 years that she finished the entire sandwich. I had a bite of hers, and it is easy to see why she she finished it. So good. I even bought a memorable t-shirt as I loved Blues City Deli. The female counter person was so friendly. She even wrote down three other restaurants to try while we were visiting St Louis. Blues City Deli is a can't miss place and if we are back in St. Louis...we will be back.
