As the owners, we bring to Java On The Rock our passion for great coffee, our combined 25 years of experience in the coffee industry, and our commitment to outstanding quality and service.

Java On The Rock is the synthesis of our favorite talents and skills and our work histories, added to our strong desire to be involved from start to finish in every aspect of a project. Prior to moving to Hawaii, we owned a small business in Northern California offering services to coffee houses. We designed coffee houses and espresso carts, distributed equipment and products, and trained baristas. Throughout those years we constantly stressed quality to our clients. It was during this time that we came to see that although we provided all of our clients with the same high quality equipment, products, and training, not all of these coffee house owners offered a great coffee experience to their customers. To deliver the finest coffee to customers requires a never-ending (almost neurotic!) loop of vigilance in selecting products, cleaning and maintaining the espresso machine, grinders and coffee brewers, and in training staff to understand and care about quality. Good coffee takes work!!

We moved to Hawaii in 1995 and acquired our coffee farm. For the first two years Bruce continued to be involved in distributing and servicing espresso machines while Andrea learned about running a coffee farm. When an opportunity arose to lease space in the mornings for our own coffeehouse, we dived right into this project. We know from the feedback we get from our customers that we are meeting our goals of offering great coffee and espresso. And an unexpected benefit of this business is that we have met so many wonderful people—both visitors and locals. In fact, the best parts of Java On The Rock for us are all the aloha we share with our customers and working just feet away from the ocean!
