My husband, Richard, and me are the new owners of the Java Hutt Cafe in Birmingham, MI. The Java Hutt is an independent shop offering a full menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, an outstanding selection of desserts and pouring the best coffee in Birmingham! We are open 24/7 and offer free WIFI which is appealing to local college students and business clientele.

About Me:

This is a second career for Rich and me. We both worked in corporate positions for 20+ years. After adopting two little boys from Guatemala in fall 2007 we knew we needed to make a lifestyle change. So, after celebrating the one year anniversary of both boys having come home (and taking nearly that long to adjust to having gone from 0 to 2 children in 7 weeks!) we bought the Java Hutt Cafe!
