In November 1991 Todd Rippo began what he would today describe as a selfish endeavor. Essentially, he created a place where he would want to hang out. Java has a hand-crafted bakery menu (most of the recipes from Todd's sister Annie) and breakfast and lunch menus that echo his southern California roots. In line with his original vision Java uses fresh roasted, fair trade, and relationship coffees and serves it all in an inviting, rock n' roll atmosphere where the music is played a bit too loud!
