Lava Java
Coffee dreamer
My sister Amberly, chief cinnamon roll baker – baseball bat wielding defender is perhaps more qualified to speak of these times.. What I do feel qualified to say is that Lava Java was in essence a dream come true. People said it wouldn’t work, they said that it would fail and ultimately they were proved wrong and Lava Java was and continues to be a success.
In case you weren’t aware, the logo/signage was created by Ron’s son, Gary. The business has since changed hands at least twice since they started it in ’92 yet it continues to be a source of pride. Ask any triathlete who has competed in the Ironman world championships and they’ll be familiar.
Lava Java while not all pleasure (a trait of any start up) was a time and place where they met and made lifelong friends. And Ron as with any location or stage in his life so appreciated those wonderful moments that were part of Lava Java. To be specific, the live music, looking at that incredible view from the tables and working along side his wife. A never ending supply of coffee didn’t hurt matters and it is not surprising at all that he was willing to do it all again.
