I love this place. I go here quite often and I love it. The people there are so friendly and kind and the food and drinks are SOOOO delicious. They have such a wide variety of drinks to choose from and I really love their Chai lattes and chocolate chip banana muffins. I also love the aesthetics of the place. The decorations and the colorful walls and tables are so pretty. read more

Typically molten Java is good. The vibe is cute and the people are very nice. The last few times we've gone though something has been wrong. Not sure what's happening. Ordered 2 banditos (which is our favorite) to go and got home to 2 sausage egg and cheeses. Opened up my matcha and poured it into a mug because I was convinced it settled on the bottom based on the color. But it was 99% milk. Honestly couldn't really drink it unfortunately. It's really a shame because we used to come more often and was so excited to go back to get my regular sandwich. It tasted fine. Just not what we ordered. And it wasn't like we received someone else's order, they just gave us something else. read more

Molten Java - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Great coffee at a fair price. Must better than the coffee shops in Beacon, NY.A great coffee shop when in Bethel, CT.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the seating was plentiful and perfect for a lunch meeting.

This local place to Bethel is a bit on the Bohemian side, but the coffee is great, the pastries delicious, and nobody bothers you when you sit down to enjoy a table in the ambience of art and quirkiness. read more

Hip place that looks like it would be perfectly at home with the crowd in Greenwich Village. I had a chai latte, which was very good. It wasn't extremely sweet like most chai lattes can be (I'm talking to you Starbucks). I also had a blueberry crumble muffin which was very good but could have done with a little more blueberries for my taste. read more

This place has so much character! We saw an article for best places to get hot cocoa and it did not disappoint, my fam got three different kinds and they all hit the spot. Next time I want to come for breakfast and get one of those breakfast burritos read more

I'd really like to report that this is a killer coffee shop. But it's...not. In fact, I'm not sure it knows what it is. A community center/new age tchotchke shop/open mic collective? Nothing wrong with that. But first and foremost they present as not just a coffee shop but also a Roastery that should on its face be able to make high-quality espresso based drinks. That is not what this place is. Again I wish I could say otherwise. The espresso I had was awful. Yes they roast their own beans, but their roast-master might need to reevaluate. It's always a mistake to roast in the same room where you serve food for consumption, unless you have exceptional ventilation. So of course the place smells of burnt roast and old bean oils. I drank my macchiato out of desperation for caffeine, but if I had had a morning coffee prior I would've just left it untouched after the first sip. Damn it pains me to say this. I walked in there with enthusiasm. But it just did not meet basic standards. Coffee programs require effort! read more

Me and my friend loved the vibe of this place. She was vegan and we were both able to find a coffee we liked and I recommend the iced Turkish coffee. read more

Excellent coffee at an excellent price! The cookies were delicious too. The inside area is very relaxing. Lots of cool colors and art (love the guitars!) read more

It's just a weird vibe here. The owners are kind of rude and not grateful for your business. And it's very overcrowded with junk and dust. For someone who has severe allergies, it was not good. I wouldn't trust the cleanliness here at all. read more

Coffee was great and apple muffins were outstanding. Great atmosphere and very accommodating staff. Enjoy!

I finally found my local coffee shop that has the same vibes as my coffee shops in San Diego! I'm originally from Fairfield but have been living in SD for years ...& along w/the weather, I really have missed my local coffee shops. This place is it! Cozy ambiance w/crafts from local artists. Roast onsite. They even leave their coffee grounds for those gardeners (very green). So much character! I just moved back to CT a couple of months ago & SO needed to find this place. The staff are super sweet as well. Ken (Kendra) is very friendly, sweet & knowledgeable about the shop. I will definitely be a regular!! read more

I love frequenting coffee shops. My girlfriend and I like to spend many Sunday afternoons with our favorite board game (currently, Res Arcana), holed up in a coffee shop for an hour or two, playing and sipping. I have been here twice. The stars are most definitely for the decor and the lovely people working there. You will feel right at home with the colorful, Vermont vibe (if that's your thing-it is for me). They have a huge array of choices for beverages. My girlfriend, both times, ordered a coffee beverage and enjoyed them. I ordered a specialty drink both times-once with almond milk and the other time with oat milk. I'd like to say they were "great," but they were just "OK." The hot chocolate was nice, but somewhat underwhelming. The second time I had an oat-milk based, cold chai latte and it was a ton of ice and oat milk, very little chai flavor. The young lady appeared new, and that might have been the reason, but it was really just "OK." I will go back. I like the place. I'm hoping to discover more that they do well in line with their eagerness to do well. read more

I never post complaints on public forums, but I felt I needed to bring awareness to a situation I had recently at Molten Java. I like to support local business, especially Coffee Shops, instead of Starbucks or Dunkin. This past Friday, I visited Molten Java for a Friday afternoon pick me up coffee. I have had a few coffees from there in the past and have always been really good. I ordered an Iced Latte with Almond Milk and a flavor shot. Paid for my order and went home. Once I arrived home, I had a sip of the coffee and noticed all these floating particles in the cup, which was odd. I have had hundreds of Iced Almond Milk Lattes in the past and none of them looked like this. I tried mixing the coffee with another cup to see if would the milk would mix more. It didn't work. I called them and advised this coffee looked strange and tasted strange and I can't drink it due to all the milk particles. They advised they will put my name on a list and I will be able to get a replacement next time I go in. I was happy with that resolution. I went in today, to get a replacement Iced Latte with Almond milk. I told the barista my experience last time and she advised "that's how the the frozen Almond Milk looks and if you don't like it, then you should get something different." I was a little taken aback by her comment. Why should I change my order because you freeze your almond milk? All other coffee houses, the Almond milk does not look like that mixed in the cup. I just felt like she didn't want to be bothered with trying to make the customer (me) happy and said it's customary for their almond milk to look like that which was shocking. She issued me a refund which was great, however, I did not get a new latte, which was the point of my visit. A refund could have been issued over the phone when I called on Friday. read more

This place is the best café that I have ever stepped foot into. We walked in and couldn't figure out what kind of drink we wanted asked for clarification on a certain type of drink and he offered to make a certain drink as a latte for us such a sweet boy. We went around the café to explore and found jenga, banana grams and loads more. There are also several trinkets that are also available for purchase. How amazing this café is should not go under estimated I will be coming back molten java it will be seeing more of me. read more

Stopped in JUST before closing on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend because I really needed some good coffee. I ordered the Turkish latte (with cardamom!!! YUM!) and it was super delicious. We also purchased coffee bean chocolate candy and a pound of their Burundi coffee beans. This morning (Monday) we brewed up a pot and this is fantastic coffee...a bit bold, rich and full bodied. I appreciated the patience of the young man who helped us. I wish we had arrived earlier to browse a bit. The only downside was the absence of GF baked items though the did offer Kind bars for sale. Great coffee house! read more

Great eclectic coffee shop in Bethel. Been here a couple of times now and the coffee is fresh and hot. They have some bakery items, egg and cheese sandwiches and a good selection of vegetarian/vegan items. The inside has two different rooms with tables/chairs where you can drink your coffee. Also looks like theres a small section for a band to play music, as well as some outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Can't wait to go back, want to try the vegan chili read more

I love this place! I used to spend more time in doors but since they're cut down on the available seating inside to make room for a chocolate vendor upstairs (understandable) I don't get the same sense of community there once was. Great coffee tho! read more
