Great lil coffee shop! Super busy but employees were hustling and very nice, getting everyone thru line as quickly as they could. My matcha latte with oat milk was fab, hubs just got plain coffee and he said it was great. We enjoyed ours while sitting at the gazebo near the courthouse. Oh and I hope the guy in front of us that only tipped the girls $0.11 went back and gave them more later. read more

Great little spot in the mountains right on the Main Street. The latte was awesome and our breakfast sandwiches and pastries hit the spot. Easy parking on the side of the location and great patio area out front. Make sure if you are in the area to stop by and give them a try. Enjoy! read more

Java Moose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairplay, Colorado

Really incredible little coffee shop & deli in FairPlay. Service was great and the bagel sandwich was delicious!

Too many DO NOT signs on the door before you even walk in. Very unwelcoming Medium and Large cappuccino both get two shots. I had the medium It was the weakest milk with a hint of coffee flavor. You can do better!! read more

My family and I stopped in here one morning for drinks. Cute little place on the outside and inside. Drinks were good.

Disappointed. My prior review was 5-stars. Really like Java Moose and it has become our stop when we pass through the area. This time around we walked in about 20 min minutes until close. The gal at the counter reminded us that they were closing soon (which felt appropriate to say). But as we are making up our minds she tells us that they closed the kitchen early. With that lack of customer service we didn't even opt to get coffee. read more

Great coffee! The guy was friendly and helpful since we are from out of town. Definitely worth checking it out

Don't waste your time stopping at Java Moose in FairPlay/South Park. The service is awful, the barista was a pretentious low life, and the coffee and food is no bueno. Stop at your own risk. Instead go to the gas sat down the road. read more

Stopped in for coffee and grabbed breakfast too while driving through. Coffee was fine we got the specialty flavors and tasted like normal coffee. The cook was really really rude and basically throw our order at me. And the food tasted bad. Tasted like postered eggs and nasty American cheese on a crappy bagel. read more

I love this place.The food is great!I also bought some merch some time ago.The people were very nice.I 1000% Reccomend.

Waited forever a microwaved burrito which had a tortilla so hard I couldn't bite thru and the eggs were still refrigerator cold. Spit out the bite and threw it away. The wait was too long to bother complaining read more

If you sneeze, you'll pass this quaint town of Fairplay. Before we sneezed, we came upon the small, hippy cafe, Java Moose. First, the Americano was delicious! We shared the veggie panini and turkey panini. Both tasty but could've used a little more filling. I thought the prices were high - close to $40! I'm told everything in Colorado is expensive. We sat outside and admired the weather. We left full and satisfied. read more

Stopped for a coffee and hot chocolate on our way through town. The service was good and loved the ambiance. The Americano I had was a little bitter for my taste. They also do not have heavy cream. read more

We always hit up Java Moose when we visit FairPlay. It sounded like they were short staffed but that didn't stop them from getting everyone's orders in and filled quickly! However if you order anything other than a pastry be prepared to wait for it. Super cute store with merch for sale. And the drinks and food were amazing as always, particularly their moose read more

A little bit of a wait and on the expensive side but so worth it! This was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had (croissant). My fiancé got the breakfast burrito and said it was really good too. Coffee is STRONG lol but good! read more

Java Moose - Breakfast burrito with sausage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairplay, Colorado

Great, varied lunch menu. Also, lots of regular and sugar free syrup choices for lattes (as opposed to Starbucks;).

All we had was drink but all of those was amazing. The frappe I had was so good. My daughter had a smoothie and she loved it. Everyone else had some sort of coffee and all smiles. I would love to come back one day and try the food because it look and smells amazing. read more

Stopped for an iced vanilla almond milk latte and love it! Nice staff and the wait time was not as bad as I thought it would be!

Really horrible coffee. Americano was literally dishwater. Employees need training. Very disappointing

So bummed out about this place last year and this year. We've been stopping here for years on our way out or back from camping. The turkey paninis were fantastic, and coffee was equally great. Last year and this year they've changed the sandwiches entirely--very little turkey, different bread, way more expensive. So now you pay $17 for a very sad sandwich. I would have paid that much for the way they used to be, but we will have to find a new lunch stop going forward with these developments. Coffee is always great, so go for the coffee but skip the lunch. read more

Stopped by on the way to Silverthorne. Great mocha with white chocolate and cinnamon roll. Cute shop and love it!!! read more

We are passing through Fairplay on our way back from the cabin trip and we stopped for breakfast Sunday morning. The staff were very welcoming. I ordered a veggie burrito with a side of green chili and my fiancé Chris ordered a bagel sandwich with a side of green chili. Both were five out of five stars and we're shockingly amazing! Better than most quick breakfast spots in Denver. But the real kick her hair was the green chili sauce. It was the best green chili we've ever had and I am dreaming about it till this day. Definitely get a side of green chili and add it onto whatever you get because it's the best! Perfect amount of spice, not too runny, and the right amount of chunk. Definitely worth stopping for ! read more

Staff is so friendly and helpful! Came here daily while in Colorado. Was usually a bit of a wait because they are very small but worth the wait. read more

decent coffee and pastry selection. come early, they run out of pastries by 11. also had a breakfast burrito. very fresh, but takes a while to get your food. read more

We had an ice coffee and 4 chai lattes. They were fantastic. Great coffee shop in a cool small town.

The fruit smoothies were... not great. At $6 a piece you'd think they would contain real fruit, but both the peach and the strawberry/banana one just tasted like the Torani flavor syrup they had lots of in the back. Not even fully blended. There were a half dozen little ice pellets left when I finished the peach one. "Might be the worst smoothie I've ever had" - my father upon finishing the strawberry banana one. read more

Delicious latte with oat milk, a tasty in-house-made pastry packed with berries, and friendly staff.

Hands down the friendliest coffee shop I've ever been to. We were in town for a few days and went about 4 times because we loved it so much! The people that work there are very nice and fun to talk to! There is a bit of a rush in the morning but I can see why. The coffee and pastries are delicious and can't wait to go back when I visit again! read more

Java Moose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairplay, Colorado

This place was really good. I had a breakfast sandwich and my wife had a salad. It hit the spot! Covid makes things tough but they carried on without missing a beat with all precautions in place. All of the food looked really good ... judging by the plates of the people around and the size of the crowd at lunchtime in such s small town. I recommend it! read more

Great place. We stopped on our way home from Wolf Creek. The coffee was great and the croissant breakfast sandwiches were delicious and GIANT! The employees were super nice and efficient! read more

Cute shop, super friendly service and we found it to be pretty efficient despite the Saturday morning crowd. Unfortunately our two medium oatmilk lattes tasted like big cups of oatmilk...like they may have forgotten to put the coffee in them. Or only put in one shot when there should be more in this size cup. Might stick with just regular coffee next time. read more

We stopped on our way through town on a Saturday and it was very busy. It's a nice little place where you order at a counter and they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We got two iced cold brews with oat milk. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had several types of plant milk available. I didn't notice until I went up to order and saw the different types written on the refrigerator. My husband got an egg and cheese croissant sandwich and although there were no vegan options written on the menu I was able to get PBandJ on a bagel. It took a few minutes to get our order out but they were clearly very busy. My husband really liked his croissant and the bagel certainly wasn't the best I've ever had but I was happy to have it as an option. We would definitely stop back in when we are in the area. read more

Colorful exterior. Nice spot for coffee. Can get busy so be prepared to wait awhile. Heated breakfast sandwich was not heated through enough. read more

Amazing coffee and awesome staff Very friendly environment Like the coffee place vibes read more

I've stopped here from coffee from time to time and, what can I say, it's not great coffee. But lots of places don't have great coffee, and this place happens to be convenient. On the other hand, other places don't take 30 minutes to heat up a panini sandwich. I'm not sure whether the owners think that it's reasonable to wait that long for a sandwich. Maybe they think their panini sandwiches are so amazing that folks should be happy to wait 30 minutes for them. (The sandwich itself was OK -- not bad, not amazing). Here's what's *not* reasonable, though: refusing to tell your customers that they're in for this kind of wait when ordering. In every other place in the country where you can order a panini sandwich, you'll get in 5 minutes, or 10 if they're busy. Knowing this context, it's deeply irresponsible to expect your customers to wait half an hour without warning them. read more

Java Moose is my favorite post 14er coffee and burrito stop in Colorado. I'll bypass places in Breck & Buena Vista and opt for a longer drive for the best Matcha Latte in Colorado. Their sausage breakfast burritos are incredible (the bacon is a great back up choice). Couple all that with the charm of a small mountain town, ambiance, and great customer service it's a stop you won't want to miss. read more
