Back in 1992, twin brothers Paul and Scott Jacob were juggling being full time college students and full time swing-shift employees at a produce warehouse. They weren’t fulfilled with the directions their lives were headed and knew they needed a change. One day, Paul took a road trip across the state and while driving around noticed a drive thru espresso stand. A light bulb went off in his head and he realized Spokane needed drive thru coffee! He shared the idea with his brother. They purchased an old photo development stand, moved it to its location on 6th and Washington, quit their jobs and college, and the rest is history! Jacob’s Java now has five stands, with a sixth stand, including indoor seating, in the works! For over two decades Jacob’s Java has been serving some of the finest coffee around, made from our own coffee roasting company, Gemelli Coffee Roastery. To this day, you’ll often find Paul and Scott in one of our stands creating handmade coffee concoctions for customers. We look forward to serving you your drink from Jacob’s Java – Spokane first drive through espresso! Visit www.jacobsjava.com to learn more about our company.
