Mike and Medora Safai have purchased the Java Brewing in Prospect and some new changes are in the works. Remodeling is in full swing as evident by the construction equipment littering the deck at the store in the Prospect Point Shopping Center 9521 U.S. Highway 42. This has had several incarnations under the same name of Java Brewing Company including a wine bar concept in addition to the coffee house.
The Safai's are known for their coffee shop opened in May 1999 at 2910 Frankfort Ave. With expansion and growth, and after several moves, they eventually made their way to LaGrange, KY where they currently operate a thriving roasting and wholesale coffee company that supplies numerous hotels across the country.
With the foray back in to retail operations their plan includes selling Comfy Cow ice cream, handmade crepes and fresh baked french baguettes in addition to their excellent coffee at the Prospect location.
I'm really looking forward to welcoming them back to the neighborhood.
