History

Java Jones Café first opened its doors in Isla Vista, CA near the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1992. While still a student at UCSB, the current CEO of Java Jones Coffeehouse, Brett Winslow bought the café in 1995 and quickly turned the store into one of the Universities most frequented local businesses. For the next 8 years Winslow honed his coffee making skills and retail experience and opened its second store in Pacific Beach, San Diego in January 2004. Later that year Java Jones opened two more stores both located on State Street in Santa Barbara, CA. In 2006, Winslow started the construction of a roasting facility in East Village San Diego. Winslow was on a quest to source, roast and brew the finest coffees that are both socially and environmentally friendly. With the opening of a roasting facility in San Diego Java Jones has been committed to selling only 100% organic and 100% fair traded coffee. Shortly after the coffee roasting facility was opened Java Jones Coffeehouse opened its fifth store in March, 2007 in East Village San Diego.
