This shop is the perfect stop on the way from the flatlands to the mountains. They make fantastic espresso drinks and really good breakfast food. The wait is worth the quality. read more

The woman serving the coffee this morning was very crabby and not happy. She put off a bad vibe that I felt waiting for my tea. Her customer service skills have room for improvement if she wants locals to return to this coffee shop when in Fairplay. read more

Has good breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Coffee is good too. Friendly staff. Plenty of room to sit inside and outside.

Really wish they would train their girls on customer service and general restaurant organization. Like first come first serve, check if items (like our 5 burritos) were even available before charging us and having us wait, remembering to take out the item they "warmed" before it cools again, smile, maybe even apologize, hurry up even a little bit since waiting 15 for items they were out of, then telling us burritos not available, AND trying to help our 5 people reorder and get money back AND wait another 25 minutes because we weren't the first they did this too because apparently and others were before us!! OMG!! Oh 3 stars were for the coffee. read more

Awesome croissant sandwich and coffee......pleasant servers..I will gladly return!.....Cool little place right off of 285

I was looking for a light deli-type sandwich and was quite pleased when one of the county offices down the street recommended here. The French dip was really tasty and just what I was looking for. They have a little place but reasonable offering of sandwiches and panini type things. I'm not a coffee person, so nothing I can say about that. A tiny bit pricy, but not problematical. read more

Very good. Friendly. Only place open on Sunday's it seems. Hubby had breakfast burrito -good. Daughter had cinnamon roll -good. Sausage egg and cheese croissant for me. -very good. Will return read more

Kind, genuine company & a mean veggie burrito! Lots of options, too. Paninis, cold sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, coffee, and more! Quick & easy- I recommend! read more

They were open early so we stopped in for coffee and some food on our way back to Arkansas after a week in the mountains. Quick service and friendly staff. Good coffee. Go here if you need coffee or a good burito! read more

Thank you for your gracious support of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (Colorado Springs)! Your coffee, food, and service are the best!

I'm an out of town visitor that went back two days in a row for their friendly service and Chai tea latte's. I'd love to see larger sized offerings for their iced drinks and a credit card payment option, otherwise this place is a gem! read more

Java Moose - Awesome place! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairplay, Colorado

Stopped for a quick bite before heading out to Denver. Food and coffee was delicious and service was great.

We stopped in on our way back to Denver and we loved it!! The sandwiches are delish and the staff was super friendly! I'll be back next time we drive through!! read more

Outstanding large room for Covid safety during windy winter! Great coffee and coffeecake! Clean and tidy restroom. Will make this our regular stop! Thank you! read more

The food here is a 5 so I want to first explain why I only gave this place 4 stars before we get to that. There's a big menu on the wall up above the pass through window. It has a ton of specialty sandwiches listed on it and next to the sandwiches, in a bright yellow star, it reads "Side salad and chips with sandwich." I asked for a side salad to go with my sandwich and was told that would cost another dollar. The woman behind the counter then referred me to a list of sandwich sides including potato salad, pasta salad, and sea salt potato chips. When I told her I would just have chips then, she informed me my sandwich came with chips so I picked something else but when I got my food, no chips. The boy I asked about them inside told me those cost a dollar too. I don't know what was happening with people there but they've maybe changed their policy without changing the sign. I don't think they're all on the same page either. On to the food. I had the french dip. It was a spicy take on the sandwich but I am almost always disappointed by french dips and this one was great! The bread, meat, and dip were all super tasty as was the potato salad and the spicy chicken sandwich. The pasta salad was a little oily but also good. Staff didn't really have it together but they were pleasant and the food was GREAT so I definitely recommend stopping here for lunch. read more

The Mexican iced mocha was delicious. The breakfast burrito was good and so was the breakfast croissant. Customer service is not the friendliest or the worst. Would come back. read more

by far one of my favorite coffee shops and i've been a barista for over 4 years. Staff is always so friendly and they have great breakfast items and amazing lunch sandwiches. the potato salad is BOMBBB. if you're ever in the area and craving some coffee and a nicely paired sandwich i would def recommend this place. read more

The lady behind the counter was so sweet and in such a pleasant mood! She had a rush order of cookies that came in the morning we stopped by yet still greeted us with exceptional customer service. I ordered the English Toffee latte and it was delicious. I will definitely stop by next time passing through. read more

Terrible hours. Don't plan on stopping here after skiing. Coffee just ok. So many people stop here thinking they'll get a cup of joe only to walk away. read more

Love this place. It's small but they make some awesome food and coffee. I tend to give this place my first shot since the other place in town is always busy. All the employees are nice and helpful. Get a homemade breakfast sandwich or burrito and hot cup of coffee for less than $10. Can't wait till I'm back in Fairplay so I can stop by and get some food! read more

People are so friendly here! Had to use the restroom and got a mango, peaches, strawberry smoothie with glad & chia seeds. It was absolutely delicious. I almost wish I didn't eat breakfast prior because they have a variety of great breakfast/lunch options on the menu!! Glad I dropped by! read more

Garbage cup of coffee. I ordered a latte and my wife ordered a cup of black coffee and after a sip we both threw them out. The coffee tasted like it was make 25 hours ago and just sat on the burner. read more

The staff is nice, the food is great and the town in charming. If you're staying or passing through java moose is a great place for stop into. read more

This is one of my favorite stops in Fairplay. I'm a big fan of both of the veggie sandwiches, and as a lover of nearly all breakfast foods, I also greatly appreciate that they serve breakfast all day. We have been here at least a dozen times and have always had great service and delicious food and drinks. We normally have our dogs with us, so we sit outside -- it's a great place to watch the clouds roll by and feel like you're a part of small town mountain living. If I had any complaint it is that they only have one bathroom, which is rather small, but the restroom is not the primary reason for my visits here, so my rating does not reflect that one, minor complaint. All in all, I enthusiastically recommend Java Moose if you're passing through Fairplay! read more

Nice place to sit out front watching passers by and drink coffee in the morning. Good coffee and great sandwiches. Paninis are huge.

Stopped here on a road trip to Denver. Latte was good, pretty hot. Sandwich was good. Potato salad was alright. Cute little place in cool mountain town. Not bad pretty solid but not great. Staff was friendly read more

Fairplay, Colorado is lucky to have Java Moose. It has great food and tasty coffee. The prices are fair and the place is a local gem. I try to eat there at least once per weak. Oh, and the pastries are phenomenal! read more

We loved the Java Moose! My husband and I stayed at a cabin nearby for a week and I think we stopped at the Moose every day. The chai lattes are delicious, and the green tea latte was not too bad. Absolutely recommend the breakfast burrito. The staff seemed generally friendly, but a little indifferent to conversation. They were very laid back though and created a nice, homey atmosphere. A beautiful husky is the mascot, and loves to greet customers (and beg for morsels). They seemed to be out of things kind of often, but for a small place their menu is diverse and delicious. Treat yourself to a pastry! read more

Liked the panini. Large and tasty. Didn't care for the smoothie. More like a slurpee with blended fruit flavor. Vege breakfast burrito was small and full of mostly filler with diced vegetables. read more

The service here was so good! the employees are energetic and kind. they have unique syrup flavors and an adorable store.

Had spiced chai with cookies early morning in -15 Celsius. It was super tasty breakfast. Small cosy perfect place for a random breakfast visit. read more

The joy of good coffee, good food and good company can be found at The Java Moose! In my opinion, the premier coffee shop/restaurant in Fairplay. read more

Friendly staff. We came here a couple times and the coffee is strong. Could use some tunes on, nothing loud but just some background noise. Feels a little cold in there, just bare walls. read more

Roast beef sandwich, toasted with tomato and cheese, was delicious. Maybe it was the special sauce. Also good was panini with artichoke, olives, and tomato. The staff were friendly and there was s nice display of nature photography in the dining room. The Java Moose is off 285 maybe a quarter mile toward Breckinridge, but worth the short drive up the hill. read more

I live and work in the Fairplay area and the Java Moose is one of the only places to go for breakfast and lunch. I like to support local business but I have a really hard time lending support to a place that serves cold grilled cheese that takes 30 mins to make. I have probably eaten here 20 times and every single time I order (whether the place is busy or not) I have to wait an inordinate amount of time (20-30 mins) for my food. Another customer asked me today if I had ordered the Filet Mignon because my order was taking so long. Come on ladies.....let's pick it up a little. Especially for us working folks. read more

Great spot for lunch. I got a iced mocha and a Kelly's Veggie Sandwich with pesto. The sandwich is served hot, panini style. It was so delicious! The service is quick and everyone there is so friendly. I was just passing through Fairplay so I won't be able to come again.cI'd definitely recommend Java Moose. read more

got the lumberjack sandwich (turkey, cheddar, lettuce, and garlic spread on ciabatta)......good quality but the amount of meat on my sandwich was depressing.....the side of potato salad was excellent but so small it literally took 3 bites to finish......soda out of their fountain was flat....all this cost me 10 bucks read more

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

If you can cut through the snarky service, curt hand gestures, and sideways glances, I'm sure the food and coffee would've been average. Cash only, but they have an ATM that will only charge you a buck seventy five instead of them accepting the 2.5% cost of doing business in the 21st century. read more

I came in here while my laundry was going at the laundromat. I think there was a (Mother) and (Daughter) working the counter. They have a BLT, sandwich which has Chipotle sauce. They also have a BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avacado, Tomato) with a Bistro Italian Cream Sauce. I asked if I could have Chipotle on the BLAT. The (Daughter) took my order and said yes I could have Chipotle on BLAT. I politely asked if the cash registers made receipts could I please get one? The (Daughter) said, "Sure." But then she forgot to do the receipt. The issue is...... if they ring up the next customer then they can't reprint my receipt. (I'm kind of obsessive about receipts) So, I politely (or I thought I was being polite....) said "Receipt please?" and the (Daughter) happily got it for me, but the (Mother?) seemed to get agitated at this request. She snapped, "WE CAN GET THE RECEIPT!!!" Um..... didn't mean to make you upset..... Ok, I'm trying to look for the good, I was in there at 1:00 PM and there was a bit of a line of customers. Perhaps the (Mother?) was feeling overwhelmed...... Anyway, I ordered a BLAT. The (Mother?) brought it out to me, and by then, seemed to not be as agitated. But I did notice the toasted bun had a few crispy burned areas..... just a few.... With the sandwiches, you get Side salad, potato salad, or chips. I ordered potato salad. The potato salad was good, but I'm guessing it was commercial and not made in the restaurant. But if you order the BLAT, ask for CHIPOTLE sauce instead of Bistro sauce. I am going to try it with Bistro sauce next time, but the Chipotle on it was FANTASTIC!!! (note: they already put the Chipotle on the standard BLT...) The price of $7.25 for my sandwich with potato salad was about right. I was surprised it wasn't more expensive. I wanted to give them five stars, but snapping at me about the receipt, well, took one star away. I'm willing to award a "half" star back for them putting the Chipotle on the BLAT instead of the Bistro sauce (which I will try next time....) Oh, they have Wifi, but the password wasn't posted. (I guess you have to ask....). They have a limit of 2 hours on the Wifi. If you are in an RV, no place to park the RV. Unless you park it somewhere and walk over...... read more

It's tiny, so careful or you'll miss it. My family stopped there on our way through town. We got quite a variety of things. We were originally hoping to hit the restaurant down the street but it was closed. So Java Moose it was. We ended up being more than thrilled with the experience. The people working were upbeat and super friendly. They were patient with our giant order for 6 people (I tipped 20%). Everything was super tasty. I got a vanilla latte, perfectly sweet and smooth. My son got an Italian soda which was flavorful but not overly syrupy and sweet. My sis in law did say the hot chocolate was very dark (just a heads up if you don't like yours too chocolaty). My hubby and I both got breakfast sandwiches which were hot, fresh tasting and really great. Between us all we got a sampling of cinnamon rolls and muffins and they were awesome. Light and tasty, not dense and heavy. All in all it was a fantastic surprise on our drive from Dillon to Durango and if we pass by again, we will stop! Regarding Covid: the store space is small, people were careful to hang out outside until the inside was clear. Staff and customers wearing masks while inside and ordering. A few tables and lots of chairs outside for hanging out. We felt very safe. read more
