Ataraxia

Good coffee and atmopshere.

Atmosphere. Company. Coffee.

Founded in 2017, Java Been is now a bustling cafe. With its high ceilings and "found space" appeal, our café has become more than a place to grab a quick cup of coffee, it's also a place for self-employed and remote workers to enjoy a focused space away from home to squeeze in a few productive hours; an essential part of the community's arts revival movement that has taken root in the old factory mill buildings along the river; and foremost a place of ataraxia to meet only rivaled by the comforts of home.

We're About Art

We're just a coffee joint brewing up your favorite cup, we're also a proud member of the emerging arts revival that's sprung up in our community. Our old factory mill building has equipped us with the means to host some of the best local artists and bands with enough space for you and your friends. In fact, we've made it our mission to be an integral part of the local arts community by regularly hosting regular exhibitions, meetings, and performances; in addition, we strive to create a creative space with gourmet coffee, tantalizing goods, and music that'll inspire the artist's soul.

We're About Doing Our Part

Because humanity hasn't figured out how to screw up colonize other planets yet, we're committed to doing our part to protect the one planet that we have. We're proud to use compostable materials whenever possible and we've partnered with suppliers that share our commitment. We source our coffee beans responsibly and we strive to be a positive force in the communities that we work with; as we grow, it is our hope to play an even bigger part in improving the yields and conditions of the individuals and communities that raise our coffee beans. So go ahead and enjoy that extra cup of coffee because together we're powering a more sustainable world for the next generation to live in.
