Our Story

From a small dream to a beloved community gathering place, brewing connections one cup at a time.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

A Dream Brewed with Passion

Jump N Java opened its doors in the spring of 2015, born from the vision of Sarah Mitchell and Jake Rodriguez—two childhood friends who shared an unwavering love for great coffee and even greater community.

After years of traveling the world, exploring coffee cultures from Seattle to Rome, from Melbourne to Istanbul, they returned home with a simple mission: to create a space where exceptional coffee meets genuine human connection.

What started as a 900-square-foot corner shop has blossomed into a beloved neighborhood institution, serving thousands of cups of carefully crafted coffee and creating countless memories along the way.
