By Tim McGovern

Grab a cup of joe at Jazz Co.

By Rob Lawson

The Jazz Company Cafe, located on Colorado Street in downtown Prior Lake, lives up to its name, with a relaxed atmosphere, full of cultural and artistic décor, as well as the fresh aroma of coffee. The walls and ceiling are painted shades of light beige that contrast nicely with darker cool browns. The furniture, new but seemingly retro, is stainless steel, patio-type ware. The chairs, backed with leathery, orange cushions sit by tables with shiny, kaleidoscope-like tabletops.
