Inspired by Jack...
And the beautiful life he lived.
When faced with a sudden, unimaginable loss, you have a choice: let it overwhelm you, or channel that energy into something meaningful. That’s how Java Jack’s came to be. After Jack—our founder’s brother—was taken by a drunk driver in Eau Claire on October 1st, 2025, we chose to honor his memory by living as he did. Jack was a Wisconsin native, 35 years old, who cherished the outdoors, music, family, and the simple joys of a life lived at a slower, more intentional pace.
Jack dreamed of owning a little land, building a tiny house, and working with purpose and flexibility. He preferred deep connections over crowds and never bought into the rush of consumer culture. Inspired by his values, we source as much as possible from local partners and make most of our food and retail items right here. Transparency matters to us—at Java Jack’s, you’ll always know exactly what’s in your food and where it comes from.
Alongside our organic coffees, fresh smoothies, and house-made food, we feature a selection of locally crafted goods that reflect our commitment to community and simplicity. Whether you’re in for a quick coffee at the drive-thru, a relaxed meal with fast Wi-Fi, or to browse our unique, non-toxic home items and merch, you’re welcome here—however long you stay. We invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and live like Jack did.
