JAVA GOGO ready for prime time!

We have now put the finishing touches on the NKC location. With awnings and menu boards up and the parking lot striped, it looks official. This probably explains why on Thursday we had about ten different cars pull up and try to order! Since we weren't officially open, we made them drinks for FREE and asked them to come back again after we open officially on Monday. We did the same for the PETCO and DMV employees who stopped by to check us out.

Our employees

JAVA GOGO has hired its first employee, Lindy W.

Lindy is 20 years old and new to the coffee business. She is smart and eager to learn. She looks forward to meeting our customers and making some great lattes! We're very excited to have her!

coffee choices

We've decided to offer four coffees on a daily basis at JAVA GOGO. They are the JAVA GOGO house blend and house decaf blend, a rotating single-origin coffee of the day, and a rotating flavored coffee of the day. The house blend is amazing! But we want people to be able to experience the variety of some of the great single-origin coffees that are out there. Our first one will be from the La Minita Estates in Costa Rica. Smooth and mild, a wonderful way to start your day!

Opening Day is April 3

I just realized that JAVA GOGO will share its opening day with the KC Royals and most of the rest of Major League Baseball. As a lifelong baseball fan, I take this to be auspicious. Now let's see if the Royals can win a few games this year.....

Only 6 days from opening!

Now that we're getting close to opening JAVA GOGO in North KC, here are a few pictures of the construction process. After the months it took to get all our approvals, it's amazing how quickly the construction has gone.

First we fenced off the site.











Then we poured the foundation posts.














Next we trenched in our plumbing






















After the building arrived from South Carolina we rented a big old crane and hoisted the building up on to the foundation.

















In the last few days, we've poured concrete for curbing. Almost Done!
