J&S Coffee
4821 W 6th St Suite E, Lawrence, KS
Crema's Take
“J&S is a beloved Lawrence institution that feels like a cozy old bookstore come to life, with warm wooden furnishings and genuine hospitality from a manager who genuinely cares about regulars. Their espresso program earns serious acclaim—whether you're ordering a precise cortado or exploring their creative signature drinks—and the shop welcomes everyone from laptop workers to families to folks just passing through town. It's the kind of place where impeccable coffee meets a lived-in, unpretentious atmosphere that makes you want to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.

SUPER cozy atmosphere. All the benches and tables are wooden and it feels like a comfy old bookstore in the back. Stephen the manager (owner?) was the funniest nicest old guy ever. J&S also has chai I’ve ever had in the US. Really authentic tasting. Definitely a perfect place…
Friendly staff, warm and cute decor, plenty of seating. Indoor and outdoor seating. Yummy coffee. Go here. Give them money. Drink good coffee.
Great coffee shop with reasonable prices that I stopped by on my way out of Lawrence this morning. Large variety of coffee to choose from. The barista explained things well and even offered to make anything I wanted that they are capable of doing. I appreciated the extra mile to…
