Javai Coffee

javai knows how to make a cup of coffee worth planning around. wazee street isn't a quiet block, it sits inside lodo, one of denver's more reliably busy corridors, and a place that holds its own there without leaning on foot traffic alone is doing something right. you don't end up at 1608 wazee by accident, or at least you don't end up going back by accident. what keeps people returning to independent spots like this isn't atmosphere in the abstract, it's consistency, the sense that whoever is behind the bar actually cares whether today's pour matches yesterday's. that matters more than square footage or a clever logo. if you're in lower downtown with time to spare, the morning hours on wazee are a good place to spend them.
