Allen Theatre Mj's Coffee House

The food and coffee are decent—neither remarkable nor terrible. However, during the past year, I've visited several times around lunchtime, shortly after they open, only to find that they are frequently out of essential items on their already sparse menu, including wraps, turkey, or chicken. How is this even possible? They seem to be consistently understaffed, often leaving just one person to manage both the cash register and food preparation. It's truly unfortunate, but I can no longer recommend MJ's. It is such a missed opportunity; this place has the potential to be great. I sincerely hope MJ's can improve and fulfill its promise.

This place is truly special! It's a clean, comfortable, and modern café and theater located on Main Street, offering excellent coffee, lattes, and delicious breakfast and lunch options, along with free Wi-Fi and local artwork for sale. My personal favorites include the Turkey and Brie on focaccia, the tomato bisque, and the Hershey ice cream. If you’re in the area, this spot is a must-visit. The owner, Skip Hicks, has a deep passion for both the arts and high-quality food and drinks. He has a charming personality that adds to the positive atmosphere, making you want to linger for hours. Plus, you’re allowed to bring any food and drink from the café into the theater while watching a movie. How amazing is that? It’s truly a classic movie house experience!

I stopped in here for coffee bc the LVC campus coffee shop was closed. MJ's offers one size of coffee ....12 oz. We went here the next day for half priced sandwiches. You can't offer half priced sandwiches and then have one person in the kitchen! Our group of 8 received our sandwiches one at a time and we ate in shifts. The roast beef panini was good for 4.00 but I don't think I would pay the full price of 8 bucks for it. This place could be awesome but they need to clean and dust, get someone with a personality behind the register and a few more people in the kitchen.

The milkshakes and freshly made sandwiches are amazing!

I wasn't very impressed with my experience at this restaurant. I ordered a latte, but it was served in a styrofoam cup instead of a ceramic one, even though there were ceramic cups visible nearby. When I asked for a lid, I was told they were out of stock. As for the coffee itself, it was just average—not particularly exceptional.
