Welcome to Uptown Java – Where Community and Quality Meet and Moments Turn into Memories
In the heart of Elkhorn, NE, sits a little gem that has brewed more than just great coffee—it has brewed community connections and cherished memories. Welcome to Uptown Java, formerly Fala’s Treasure and Coffee House.
When the Journey Began
Our story started eight years ago when Jacque Schmidt created a unique coffee house filled with great coffee and treasures for everyone to enjoy. Despite facing the challenges of the pandemic and personal health struggles, Jacque’s passion never wavered. She navigated these tough times with creativity and resilience, introducing premium wines and artisan foods to expand Fala’s offerings.
A New Chapter with Fresh Hope
After serving the Elkhorn community with dedication, Jacque and Blaine decided it was time to pass the baton. Enter Fresh Hope, a local non-profit dedicated to providing mental health support. They saw an opportunity to continue Fala’s mission and elevate it to new heights. Under the stewardship of Pastor Brad Hoefs, Fresh Hope took over, ensuring that the essence of Fala’s would live on through Uptown Java.
