Melodic Java - Edinburg

This place is a delightful little spot located just off the main drag. The owner is exceptionally supportive of local artists and performers. Be sure to inquire about the drinks, especially the Italian soda!

Delicious food and fantastic staff! This place is amazing, and Dustin is excellent to collaborate with for events.

The food is excellent, the place is clean, and there's a friendly atmosphere reminiscent of a coffee house.

The music was enjoyable, but unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The decor was on the cheap side, yet somehow still managed to have a cool vibe. They hosted a comedy night, but being 20 miles outside of Springfield resulted in a mere 10 attendees. It's evident that the owner is passionate, but it seems like they're trying to juggle too many concepts at once. They offer an espresso bar, pizza, beer, video games, music, comedy, and a range of cultural activities—but instead of excelling at one or two of these, they spread themselves too thin and struggle to do about 20 things well. To make matters worse, their location is quite remote, and the local community doesn’t seem to align with the clientele this establishment needs to succeed. I really hope they can refine their offerings because they have a lot of potential. However, even if they do, it might still be a bit too hip for Edinburgh, IL.

We tried the supreme 16-inch thin crust pizza at Melodic Java for the first time tonight, and it was amazing! The crust was thin but still wonderfully crispy—not floppy or soggy at all! Definitely worth a visit!
