The Java Break
17 E 7th St, Lawrence, KS
Crema's Take
“This Lawrence favorite captivates regulars with its visually distinctive multi-room layout, each with its own theme, creating an artsy sanctuary that feels peaceful yet vibrant. Beyond expertly crafted traditional espresso drinks and thoughtfully balanced matcha lattes, The Java Break stands out for homemade plant milks and a beloved cereal bar with fresh fruit and chocolate chip toppings—details that reveal genuine care in their craft. Open 24/7 and family-friendly, it's equally suited for a quick caffeine fix, a long study session, or meeting a friend in a space where both the coffee and the atmosphere feel genuinely special.”

This is my favorite coffee shop. It is so peaceful and the service is amazing. The coffee and tea are delicious. I will always come back here!
My favorite coffee place in all of Lawrence, Kansas! And they're open 24/7. Cool artsy vibe and nice people. I might suggest they turn the music down a little bit for studying and chatting, but it's still a good music selection.
i used to come here often during my college days and i think about it frequently - specifically, the cereal bar. homemade plant milks and fresh fruit toppings, chocolate chips, and any combination of cereals served in a takeaway container. i’ve never encountered a coffee shop quite like this before, and it has a special place in my heart.
Ordered an iced lavender honey matcha latte during my visit. Really liked how the drink was not sweet and that i could taste the lavender but sadly, the taste of matcha was not prominent, and is rather diluted.
What a great place! To begin with, visually unique coffee shop. 4 different rooms with different themes, amazing coffee and wait for it: HOMEMADE ALMOND AND OAT MILK. highly reccomend this coffee shop, great service and great vibe.
