Lightwave Coffee

Lightwave Coffee is an award-winning specialty coffee roaster located in Los Angeles, founded on the principles of quality, consistency, and the pursuit of exceptional flavor. The roastery is led by Joy Park, who brings over 15 years of experience and a background in hospitality to her craft. The company sources single-origin coffees and creates artisanal blends from growing regions worldwide, selecting only beans that meet high standards for quality and character. By utilizing a lighter roasting profile, Lightwave aims to preserve the natural, distinctive notes of the coffee, such as fruit, floral, and nutty profiles, rather than masking them with bitterness. The roastery maintains a close relationship with its sister cafe, Elabrew Coffee, which serves as a testing ground for customer feedback to continually refine their roasting process. Committed to the specialty coffee movement, Lightwave emphasizes the importance of elevation, processing, and origin in every cup, ensuring that each product offers a unique and balanced experience for the consumer.
