JAVA FOR YOUR JOURNEY®

In 1909, Walter Law left Wall Street and began roasting coffee in his father George’s barn at their home, ShadowBrook, in Dunellen, New Jersey. With a horse-drawn carriage, he traveled from house to house sharing his freshly roasted coffee. More than 115 years later, Walter’s family continues his legacy—importing and distributing some of the world’s finest coffees with the same dedication and passion.

We hope you savor the result of our family’s hard work and tradition, and that our coffee accompanies you on your life’s journey, wherever it may lead.

A FAMILY TRADITION

As Law Coffee persevered through The Great Depression, Walter’s sons, Robert, Warren and Stanley, came on board to help their father roast and pack the coffee, as well as tea. When the United States entered World War II, all three brothers patriotically chose to join the Navy and help defend their country. Warren, the sole brother to return from World War II, took on the responsibilities of running the family business and helped transition the company to Newark, NJ.

Warren expanded distribution throughout NY and NJ, establishing Law Coffee as one of New Jersey’s finest, independently owned and operated coffee companies. Warren’s son-in-law David M. Mendez bought the company in 1984 and along with Warren’s son, Robert, they expanded its area of distribution throughout the Mid-Atlantic & beyond!

David’s son, David W. Mendez, joined the business in 2004 and, in 2018 was promoted to President then acquiring the company in January 2020 thus continuing the family principles of quality and integrity into the company’s second century of existence.
