Hi! Odd request coming!

Looking for a coffee shop location, probably long gone, in Danbury. Yelp/google aren't yielding anything that looks familiar so it's probably no longer a coffee shop. Here's all I recall.

This was in the mid 1990s, when I'd make frequent Boston-Philly trips. I'd pull off the freeway for a coffee and after I found this place once I'd stop here every time. It was in a downtown-feeling area but not really super busy. Would have to be at least somewhat near the highway.

If I recall the sidewalk out front was kind of built up a few feet above the street level, possibly with a railing. Not your usual sidewalk with a little 6" curb.

Place had a young-ish vibe to it, definitely an independent joint.

No, this is not about a long lost love. I'm writing a short story and would love to use Google street view to refresh my memory of the area...bonus if the place is still a coffee shop!

thanks in advance!

Not sure know Molten Java is in Bethel maybe was in Danbury at one point

Looks like the same sort of place I remember, maybe I'll call and ask if they used to be located in Danbury, thanks.

maybe an exit off 84 would help to narrow it down a bit..

Seattle Espresso.

If it was in Brookfield, Bassett's.

It does sound like Molten Java, but they've since moved.
