When I decided to open a coffee shop in Bath, NC, I had no idea where to begin with layout, equipment, syrup, sauces, etc. In fact, I had never worked in a coffee shop and had zero barista or small business experience. It was just a dream I had for over 35 years.
I was referred to Walter Bateman at Java Estate Roastery by the owner of Casa Blanca roasters and coffee shop in Wilmington, NC. The owner is a friend and I trusted her completely. The decision to call Walter would prove to be one of the business decisions I’ve ever made. He called to set up a tour of the roastery and talk to me and several of my friends about the entire process and explain that they would walk through everything from beginning to end with me and even provide coffee school. This was very appealing since I had never used an espresso machine or any of the other equipment I would need. Truth be told…I barely knew what a latte was and certainly didn’t know how to make one.
To make a long story short, working with the entire team at Java Estate Roastery has been incredible!!! Walter responded immediately to my questions and was onsite to help us through very critical times. His team is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. I felt like family from the moment I met them. That has not changed. They are invested in ensuring that our business is successful. This team and their equipment and products are second to none! First class operation! I highly recommend Java Estate Roastery to anyone thinking of opening their own shop or just need the best beans, top of the line product, and an incredible team of people to work with! I could not have done this without them! Thank you Walter and team for being amazing!

Walt and the Java Estate team have been absolutely incredible and instrumental in the start and success of my coffee business. I researched and spoke with many roasters in the area to determine which would be the best fit for my goals, and the decision quickly became obvious.
The beans are excellent—first and foremost—which was non-negotiable. Walt never tried to change my vision; instead, he provided the insight and guidance needed to help make it a reality. Their pricing on supplies and consumables is very competitive, and their delivery service is fast and accommodating.
The Java Estate team even provided barista training for us, which truly elevated our product. We operate as a seasonal business, but the coffee we served had countless customers asking us to open a year-round café or cater their events. Many came back saying our drinks were “the best” they’d ever had and wanted to know how we made them so well.
The feedback we received was truly heartwarming, and we couldn’t have achieved this success without Java Estate. If you’re looking for a reliable roaster to support your business, there’s no better choice than Java Estate.

We cannot say enough great things about Java Estate and Walt Bateman! They have been absolutely phenomenal to work with and provide us with the highest quality products.
They truly have everything you need to successfully run a coffee shop, and their commitment to going above and beyond is unmatched. From day one, they have bent over backwards to make sure we, as business owners, have everything we need. The training they provided prior to opening was absolutely incredible—we couldn’t have been as successful without their support and expertise.
If you’re looking for exceptional products, top-notch training, and a partner who genuinely cares about your success, Java Estate is the way to go!

In starting our mobile Coffee Café, we were unsure of how to begin our small business venture. Walter and his team are top-notch professionals with an incredible dedication to the quality of their products and service excellence. We just secured a commercial high-quality espresso machine from Walter. Additionally , JAVA Estates will provide our barista training and our product selection to incorporate everything we need as a one stop shop to be successful. Highly recommend JAVA Estates.

Walt is amazing! We called for an issue with our espresso grinder, he just happened to be in the area and was there to repair it in less than 5 minutes!

The only beans we use come from Java. They’re our absolute favorite roaster and they’re the most reliable for all other supplies, syrups, etc. as well; no one else gets orders out and delivered as quick as they do!

Java has been our coffee supplier for more than a decade and while we have had other roasters approach us about their brands, I wouldn’t think about switching. People go well out of their way for our coffee, and there is a reason! The quality and service here is beyond excellent. From emergency over the phone repairs, to the girls in the warehouse and office just knowing our company and what we need.
Walt and his team at Java are top notch! As a barista who works at a local coffee shop, Walt is always available to answer any questions and troubleshoot issues with machinery. As a business owner that needed his assistance for a new counter top install at said coffee shop, he helped get all the machines and lines set back up in a streamlined fashion. 10/10, will always recommend Java Estate! It’s a plus that their beans are dang good too😉
