Java Junction

October 6, 2024 - Our Travel Club bus stopped in Madrid , for some sightseeing, shopping, and breakfast ! A beautiful morning in this quaint “ hippie village “ of Madrid! 😃👍🏼❤️ Thought I saw Peter Fonda zip through town on his Harley motorcycle . . . as my wife & I crossed the street to peak in Java Junction Cafe ! The coffee aromas lifted our spirits as we looked over the breakfast menu: Espressos , Cappuccinos, Lattas Frappuccinos, Smoothies, Hot Teas, Hot Chocolate, etc. Oh my. . . the selection of baked rolls, cinnamon buns, fruit danishes, and croissants activated my taste buds! Beyond the breakfast treats were shelves of artisan gifts for sale in the small shop. We looked around as the barista assembled our orders. With coffee & croissants in hand we sat outside on the patio. . . Watched the tourists walk by ! Delightful morning in Madrid! 😃👍🏼 Kudos to Nancy’s Mother in law as the original owner who established this Cafe in the mid 1980’s! Congratulations to Nancy Duncan who purchased the Java Junction in 2006. Oh, there is 1 bedroom available upstairs as a B & B for guests . . . Queen bed, tv , AC, wi-fi, with included breakfast! We enjoyed your hospitality & breakfast coffee ! 😃👍🏼 We’ll have to stop again to experience more of the warmth & hospitality of Madrid! ❤️ Film Note : In 2007, Wild Hogs was filmed in “ Mad - rid” town . . . film crew built the Diner , which is now a souvenir & gift shop!

Awesome little coffee house with a very relaxed vibe. My wife and I were passing through Madrid and stopped by Java Junction. I got a plane ice team, but it was good stuff. My wife got some kind of multi-ingredient coffee that she really liked. The lady that took our order was super friendly, and we loved the selection of kitchen items and novelties for sale in the shop. Highly recommend stopping by this little jewel.

This was one of the first places I stopped during my vacation to NM, and I'm glad I did. The frappuccino was perfection and fulfilled my iced coffee craving. Do yourself a favor. Don't pass up Madrid. Stop and check out little gems like this. It helped to shape my first impressions as a traveler.

My favorite coffee place in Madrid, New Mexico! Don’t know this was also a bed and breakfast. Anyway. Great place to start your day walking around Madrid. I typically grab an iced coffee here and a croissant while passing through. But I’d consider staying here too. I guess. Not sure why said that.

First time here and WOW! Drinks are great, the chile pepper croissant was sooooo good, but the brownie…OMG! Best brownie ever!! We bought the shop out of their brownies 😂 barista was great and definitely entertained my enthusiasm about the quality of everything we had!

Nichole was fantastic, Her espresso was as good as Italy’s and her chai was better than Seattle. In addition to being super friendly she is a wealth of information for the area. The shop has very well chosen gifts for sale.

Stopped in yesterday. I give the coffee a solid 4 out of 5. The service a 0 out of 5. We could only assume the Barista was having a bad day given her standoffish attitude. We sat down to enjoy our coffee on the nice patio outside. Heard the Barista yelling at another customer as she walked out dont know what that was about but we definitely would recommend this place for the coffee but dont expect decent customer service.

This is a coffee place in Madrid with great coffee and friendly service.

This is a cute little coffee shop. The desserts are yummy and the drinks are tasty. I started off with a cold brew which was good. Definitely quenches the thirsty on a hot day. I also got a cinnamon roll and slice of apple pie. The Apple pie was really good! If I didn't get so full, I probably would've had another slice. The cinnamon roll was decent--nothing out of the ordinary. The staff was super friendly and quick! I come here again!

If you haven't been to Madrid you need to! Finally made it myself and what a fun little spot to visit. It's about an hour outside of ABQ. I've gotten the lavender latte with oat milk and the chai with oat milk both delicious!! The lavender latte is pretty sweet so recommend getting it half sweet if you don't want it too sweet. Pasties I've gotten are the brownie and blueberry scone scrumptious! Sorry no pictures of drinks or pasties. The shop also has a kitchen things and cowboy hats! Barista's have been so kind and helpful each time I have been!! Services and fast and friendly!

Cute coffee shop in Madrid, we just stopped by for a snack/lunch on a hot day while walking around the area. We got blended mocha coffee-s and they were great, nicely made. The pastries looked invited, hard to decided, we went for cherry Danish and chocolate croissant, they were all fresh and delicious, really enjoyed them. They sell souvenirs as well, they also have a cute patio to enjoy your coffee. Nice customer service, the only complaint, the restroom is a portable one, so.... you get the idea. Great coffee, nice pastries, indie in a nice way, good food and service, laid back vibe.

I ordered the chai latte, it's delicious. The apricot bread and raspberry danish was amazing! This is the best chai latte I've tasted.

We sat outside in the heat and had a pretty decent cappuccino from here. Not too bad at all...

Another place recommended by friends for their breakfast burritos & coffee. It's a shop with old wooden floors a small coffee brewing area with a single barista. The burritos were good as advertised, the vanilla latte was good, not bitter or burnt tasting. None of the pastries in the display struck my fancy. There was a well used coffee grinder for grinding your newly purchased been as well as a couple of T-shirts, one of which was a Zia with red and green chilis as a yin-yang in the center - it's a NM thing. There were drink containers, tea towels and trivets. As well as Mexican Chocolate, tea & coffee. A nice stop on a cold morning for coffee & food. Just find a place on the patio and you're all set. Plus, if you need a place to stay locally they have a B&B of 1 bedroom . But I can't speak to that.

Stayed at the little bed & breakfast room on the way between Phoenix & Oklahoma City. So cute and well appointed! The patio is adorable and very comfortable. It was nice to be so close to the town and really great food. Some bumps because we arrived after the store closed, but SO worth it.

Prices that would make Starbucks blush! Charged an extra $.50 for ice in my drink! No sign or notification of any kind, just an additional $.50 on an already overpriced drink. On top of it, it tasted like coffee, not sure why, perhaps they did not clean whatever utensils they use to make my chai. So I paid $6.21 for a try that I didn't even like, plus of course a tip is expected. I would give it one more try before completely giving up. Also, the server had a big attitude, when I mentioned the chai was expensive, and I expressed disbelief over being charged $.50 extra for ice.

Everyone who has not made a visit to Java Junction is wrong. This is seriously the best coffee you can find in New Mexico.

Great breakfast burritos! I had the black bean and green Chile and it was delicious! I also had the border java and if you like mexican chocolate milk, you'll love it! You can even add extra shots. They have a great outdoor patio and view of the town.

I love this little place! It has great coffee and a good selection of loose tea leaves too. They have a little shop in the back of it with wooden items such as exquisite cherry wood cutting board, cast iron cups, and much more. We got a kick out of their fridge magnet! Couldn't stop laughing on some of them. We could tell they have been carefully chosen and the owner must have a great sense of humor. This place also offer a cool little bed and breakfast above the coffee shop. We would like to stay their one of these days for a staycation. A cool spot.

Nice little place that has great beverages, and I really liked the breakfast burritos. You can meet a lot of people from the area that have some little known info on things to do, and things and places to avoid. Like most little towns patience is a virtue, and you will be rewarded.

really nice vibe here. Really good coffee. And a extra nice little gift shop with things you actually want to have for a long time. Love this place. Always go there when I get into Madrid.

Awesome little coffee shop on the Turquoise Trail! We were recommended to stop by, but also decided to spend some more time in Madrid because of the many cars and ongoing festival we saw. I had the border mocha, which was awesome, and I love how their iced coffee uses actual coffee ice cubes! They have a pretty wise side-yard area with nice seating an wall of random signs... it's a great place to grab some coffee and also to just relax!

excellent mocha, super cute gift shop! we loved the ambiance and the cute patio. the staff are friendly and the service was great!

I had an iced coffee and my girl got a cappuccino. The cappuccino was more like a latte and my iced coffee was good enough, it had coffee ice cubes which is novel. I'd get an iced coffee again but the espresso was not up to par with what I usually get in Albuquerque and I can brew better coffee at home. Not everybody is a coffee snob though right? It's a nice places to hang out and really fits the Madrid character.

We always seem to stop here for beverages when visiting Madrid. Today was very hot! The barista was cheerful and helpful, the iced coffees and teas were great.

Best iced coffee in my life*. The owner was serving and gave us some great history about the town. * I'm not exactly an expert on iced coffee, but where else do you get iced cubes made out of coffee so your drink doesn't dilute?

It's near impossible to get a 5 out of me. I stayed in Sandia Park for 10 days and each time I passed through Madrid, I stopped for a coffee (4 times). Each time was delicious and I had 3 different baristas make my coffee. Do yourself a favor and stop, you won't be disappointed!

The coffee is to die for great customer service and affordable pricing. Cool hats and gear. Coffee ice cubes

This coffee shop has a chill atmosphere and a good selection of coffee. Interesting names and not all the regular flavors of a chain coffee shop like Starbucks. There is also a good selection of snacks and baked good. It's a great place to go work, read or have a conversation. Lots of seating available.

So happy to have stumbled upon this place while driving from Albuquerque to Santa Fe along the historic Tirquoise Trail. Fresh organic coffee and as they say bad coffee sucks!! You won't find it here.

Imagine a B&B with only one guest room, and that guestroom takes up the entire top floor of a historic two-story building. That's what this place is! Downstairs is a good coffee shop that closes in the late afternoon, so you have the property to yourself in the evening. Charming, rustic, and adorable. The room is actually more like a characterfully furnished studio apartment and includes a kitchen, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a private balcony. Nancy was a very gracious host. In fact, when the next morning the water was cut off to the property through no fault of the owners, the owners on their own initiative immediately offered to credit the cost of the stay. One important note is that we had no cell service with either AT&T or T-Mobile in the town of Madrid or anywhere nearby. (The room has Wi-Fi, so don't worry about that.) So you need to make sure that you make arrangements to get the key in advance because the coffee shop closes in the afternoon, and you may not have a way to call the owner if you wait until you get to Madrid. We would certainly stay here again if we needed a place to stay in Madrid.

Cute place... but owners should know about how truly bad the service was! Offensive from beginning to end! The coffee was good, pie was store bought... was going to buy the cute shirt with chili zia, but she was so rude and cold, I changed my mind! She needs to lose her job because she simply does not know how to deal with people!!

Awesome coffee drinks and cool atmosphere. Great way to start our visit to Madrid NM. Actually, it was so good that we got more coffee on the way back out too! I really liked the coffee ice cubes on the cold drinks. Nice touch. They could use a nicer bathroom though.

The is essentially the second floor of the coffee shop in Madrid, Java Junction. The room is spacious, equipped with satellite TV and wireless Internet. There's a back porch that looks out on the hills surrounding the town. Minuses are few but significant. There is no shower, just a big tub, and during our stay fumes of raw sewage from a port-a-potty outside occasionally wafted on to the porch and into the bathroom when the wind was right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it). Having said that, the room is spacious, and beautiful without being touristy, i.e., you know you're in Madrid, an unincorporated village along the "Turquoise Trail," state highway 14 which meanders between Santa Fe and east Albuquerque. Big plus, there's a coffee-shop downstairs and the coffee is excellent and breakfast is included in your stay. Unfortunately, probably due to the currently-depressed economy, they denied my companion a second cup of coffee on the house, and when I had to make a change in plans suddenly they enforced the 48 hour cancellation policy even though I had stayed one of the two nights I reserved and I gave them all of the advance notice that I had. Also, I have to say, there's no reason for the person manning the coffee shop to be as surly as she was. It was impossible to get her to smile, even though I was as cooperative as I could be. But, These things aren't high on my list of values for places to stay, so I still think this place is worth a visit if you need a cozy room with good WiFi in Madrid. It's just unfortunate that in a town that relies entirely upon the tourist trade for it's economic base treats us like intruders and sources of irritation. But, if you're like me and refuse to hold that kind of petty short-sightedness against a B&B, you'll enjoy your stay here. They also reserve you a place to park your car, which can be quite a perk in Madrid, particularly during weekend days. The wifi Internet is fast and they paint a strong signal in the room.

OK coffee but the bagel was stale. Also, their costumer bathroom is a portable bathroom outside. That is fine, but it always drives me crazy when places treat their costumers like second class citzens. They clearly have a running bathroom inside. That being said, there are some cute items at the gift shop but nothing that cant be found elsewhere.

I drive all the way from Santa Fe just to get their FRAPPUCCINOS! Both chocolate & vanilla varieties are soooo gooood. Plus, you get to hang out with the local Madroids. That's a 5-star right there. Honorable mentions: They have wifi (cuz you cant get ANY RECEPTION in Madrid ANYWHERE) & while refrigerator magnets tend to be the most trite form of human communication ever contrived, every refrigerator magnet you WOULD even possibly want can be found here. Absolutely hilarious.... while you wait for your frappuccino to finish whirling in the blender.

We stopped in here while visiting Madrid. It's a cute little place. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. We both ordered a piece of pie and a drink: me a chai latte and my husband a strawberry smoothie. He loved the smoothie. My chai did need some work. They had soy milk, which was good. The chai wasn't mixed great and seemed to come from a powder vs. tea so I only had half of it. I had a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie and I was so full I didn't even bother with lunch.

Coffee was amazing and the breakfast burritos were quite yummy. The B & B was super cozy and Nancy was very sweet and accommodating. Definitely a great place to soak up the awesome hospitality of this lovely New Mexico town.

I stopped in Madrid on the way from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. I had read a bit about its history, how it became a ghost town and how it got another life through hippies moving in. I very honestly didn't think much of Madrid when I got there, in my opinion it is not any different from other tourist traps and it really had nothing going for it, at least not in my option. The only place that stood out to me and that I liked was Java Junction: good coffee, excellent cheesecake, friendly lady behind the counter, cool T-shirts and other stuff.

Just bloody awful, and yes, the dude behind the counter treated us like lepers.

Once again (and as it should be) the journey was more surprising than the destination! Traveling from Albuquerque to Santa Fe on the Turquoise Trail I fell in love with Madrid! A dusty, funky town the Java Junction is the best. I still use the mug I bought here - you'll love it.

Java Junction has really great coffee (the ice for the iced coffee is made with coffee!), the iced tea (black) was refreshing and delicious. They also have delicious green chile burritos (which they are happy to warm up for you) and the beef and bean chimichanga was a perfect snack. The barista was super sweet and awesome to us. To top it off they had really cute one of a kind clothing! They also have a nice selection of souvenir food items. Apparently, there is also a room on the second floor that you can rent weekly or nightly. There are only two other places I know of to stay in this awesome little town. You really should stop here if you are driving on this route. I will definitely be back.

Best Mocha I've ever had. 4 in our group of 10 got mochas, and everyone agreed!! Had to go back the next day to get another. Smooth, tasty. Wish I didn't live 6 hrs away!!

Hippie spot for sure. I'll be back on my HOG real soon

Mix one part bed and breakfast, one part great coffee joint, one part joke gift shop, one part alternative art and clothing boutique together, and you still wouldn't have the specialness of java junction. Nestled in the little town of Madrid, New Mexico, population 149, artist's escape and old mining town, this little store is trying to be 5 things at once and has a little attitude to boot. There was definitely a bit of sass from the barista, but she was oh so fun and the store was a great mix of things, many with a definite point of view. Plus, they have a little B & B upstairs for those who find themselves charmed by the little town.

This place has amazing iced coffee! They even make their ice cubes with coffee, which adds an extra touch. And you must try their caramel brownie... one of the best gooey, delicious, perfect consistency brownies we've ever had. On top of all this, the place is absolutely adorable. If you're visiting Madrid, (we are tough critics from NY), I highly recommend you stopping by here.

We stayed one night at the B&B and loved it. Great room, clawfoot tub, sweet back porch. Well-equipped and homey. Would recommend it, and would go back. Merritt, who checked us in from the coffee shop downstairs, was so welcoming we felt like honored guests!

Cute space, nice people. However, the lattes tasted more like high fructose corn syrup than coffee. I'm not sure mine actually contained any coffee. Seriously, sweeter than Starbucks. I cannot stress this enough. I have not tried just plain coffee, but I would recommend trying that over the "winter lattes."

3rd world ammenities at a SanteFe price.Rude staff.If your not sold yet try giving this place your business in the offseason,drop 560 us dollars for 3 days and then have them illegally use your credit card and take an additional 140 dollars out of your account because your dog peed on the outdoor deck.This is the javaJunction experience.Lets not forget that you get to enjoy all of this with the scent of poo from the outdoor portapotty right next to your lodging.An ancient septic system that you cant put tp in and a hotwater heater that that couldnt be any larger than 20 gal.But hey!At least you have a huge clawfoot bathtub to not be able to enjoy.This is what you have when you get hippies running a B and B.The only problem is some of us out there like to bathe and when we are on vacation we really dont want to smell poop.Either from our high priced lodging or from the locals in the coffe shop in the morning.Small things to ask for I know, but alot of people are difficult that way.Besides a trip to Madrid Nm doesnt have to be like a Peace Corps service in Bangledesh.
