From Bean to Truck, and Further Still
Founded by Joy Park ten years ago with Elabrew Coffee, operating a specialty coffee truck and coffee shops in Santa Monica, Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles. Joy saw a gap in specialty coffee that could be improved, and understood the ubiquity of coffee. Next, creating Lightwave Coffee with the intent of learning and growing the roasting and wholesale space. After years of development and learning, Lightwave Coffee has dedicated itself to the pursuit of consistency and quality by word of mouth. After all, in Joy’s own words, “People drink one or two cups a day, and I want to be that for them.”
