The Java Stop, an espresso stand on Route 66 in Dwight, Ill., that earned praise for its architectural design, is set to close by the end of the month, reports regular reader DynoDave.
Via e-mail:
I’m sad to report that their site says their last day of regular operation is tomorrow, Sunday the 10th. They will be open weekends only through the end of the month, then close for good. The business and building are for sale.
It’s a striking-looking business. Hopefully, that will help it find a buyer quickly.

ARGH!! That is our most favorite place to stop after driving all night!! They have the best coffee and chocolate covered espresso beans 🙂
We are seriously bummed about this……maybe someone will buy this and keep it going!!
Me too Jenn. I’m also in Michigan, but was raised in in Illinois, and go back to visit. I actually came across this story because I was revisiting Illinois bookmarks that I have, planning to take part of the Route on the way back home. I’m sorry I’ll miss the opportunity to stop here.
