About Us

Welcome to Jimmy's Java, purveyors of fine, fresh roasted coffee and Jimmy's Cold Brew Espresso.
Our journey starts in 2002 in Boone, NC (although the idea and logo for Jimmy's Java was conceived right here in Cape Coral!)  After a several year run in the mountains it was time to go where the weather is warm.... 

In 2013, back in SWFL, Jimmy chose Farmers Markets for his foray back into the retail coffee world.  With a casual request by a long time customer for Cold Brew and several months of experimentation with different coffee blends and techniques, we hit upon Jimmy's Cold Brew Espresso.   

Our method of brewing Cold Brew Espresso is so unique we were awarded a patent in October of 2018. 

Ric Kerns turned a lifelong food service background (built upon an AS in Hospitably Management) into a boutique coffee roastery that was acquired by Jimmy's Java in 2013.  With an eye to detail and a passion for efficiency, President Ric catapulted Jimmy's Java to the next level.  Ric's passion for coffee is so strong he even detoured his new bride to the Big Island in Hawaii for a closeup look at Kona coffee cultivation and processing.
