Java City’s story began in 1985, roasting coffee in a small brick building in Midtown Sacramento. As word spread about our uncommonly smooth coffee, the brick building on the corner of 18th and Capitol became both a roasting facility and bustling cafe. Throughout the late 1980’s and into the early 2010’s, Java City was the place for artists, authors and poets to gather and converse while sipping their favorite coffee.
1985 Sacramento Original Blend pays tribute to the baristas and coffee lovers that have brewed and enjoyed Java City Coffee for nearly 40 years. While the original cafe is merely a memory, we’re still here in Sacramento, roasting coffee as uncommonly smooth today as it was in 1985.

Ventura comes to us from the coffee farmers of Café Ventura and CAFICO, in and around San Marcos, Western Honduras. It is grown at high elevations in multiple layers of shade, which is possible thanks to the preservation and diversity of the forests.
Our partnership with Café Ventura and the coffee farmers in this area includes a premium per pound supporting water and climate initiatives in the area via the Todos Al Agua program.
This light roast coffee delivers reminders of brown sugar, cranberry and lime zest. Ventura is well-balanced as a pour over or drip brew, but is also exciting as a single origin espresso or americano.
Coffee that does good AND tastes good. Salud!

Proudly roasted by Java City, Ladies To The Front is produced exclusively by women, and benefits women from start to finish.
The Nicaraguan beans used in Ladies To The Front come to us from Tierra Madre, and are grown and processed by women coffee farmers in Jinotega who receive a premium based on coffee that meets a high-quality standard. The premium assists the women to obtain legal title to their land, key to accessing micro-credit loans for production and other economic activities that permit a better quality of life.
Ladies To The Front is roasted and packed solely by women at Java City in Sacramento.
For every bag of Ladies To The Front sold, $1 goes to a scholarship fund to help further the education goals of women graduates of the coffee training re-entry program at Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center in Sacramento County. The re-entry program provides women with skills to help them successfully re-enter the community. Graduates of the program currently work in the coffee industry in the Sacramento area as baristas and roasters.
Ladies To The Front is for women, by women.

Black Bear Diner Blend is a single-origin, 100% Nicaraguan coffee. Developed along side our long-time partner, Black Bear Diner, this perfectly roasted coffee showcases our philanthropic commitment to improve the lives of origin coffee farmers and their communities. With the help of the Global Aldea Foundation, a non-profit arm of the Global Aldea Coffee Cooperative, we’ve identified several humanitarian projects throughout Nicaragua. These projects include improving water supply to the homes of Mancotal, Nicaragua, funding a medical care van throughout the communities, and supplying backpacks and school supplies to area children. Through the “Bears Brew Back” program, 100% of the profits of each bag sold goes back to origin farmers and families of Nicaragua whom need it most.
