WHO IS JOZI JAVA?
Jozi Java is a fun, family-oriented, fun vibey coffee start up that provides excellent coffee for the most refined coffee palate but doesn't forget about its younger customers, that may also be demanding a delicious drink. Here we like to add a tad of fun.
We (Chris and Ruth) made the decision to do this start up as we love great coffee, but this didn't always accommodate a spoil for our tribe of kiddies (we won't mention our 4 year old coffee fund!), hence the slushies and other sweeter options like our caramel freezo.
We strive to be a One stop coffee shop with the family in mind. Everyone should leave smiling!
WHAT COFFEE DO YOU USE?
We roast our own premium coffee blends using exceptional beans sourced from Africa and the Americas.
Our commitment to quality means we control every step of the roasting process, ensuring each blend delivers the perfect flavor profile and freshness our customers deserve.
