Bongo Java Roasting Co. was started by a former journalist. Thus, you can be darn assured that most of this history is true. Bob Bernstein moved from hometown Skokie, IL to Nashville in 1988 when he got a job as a reporter with Nashville Business Journal. At the time, he thought he’d spend a year or two in the country music capital of the world gaining experience and then move on to a bigger and better city that had more stuff – or at least more than one sushi place, a single Indian restaurant and (if allowed to dream big) a place to see arthouse movies. A year or so later, Bob decided he had it backwards. He liked Nashville and wasn’t so keen on his career choice. Sure, the city lacked stuff, yet it was an easy place to be (a term he coined for the city and later stole from himself to be a Bongo slogan). The main thing it lacked was a coffeehouse – Bob's favorite place to do lots of writing, some studying and a bit of coffee drinking at during high school and college. As he got bored of reporting on the silliness of the state legislature and tired of the pressure of deadlines, Bob started thinking about the good old days when he’d hang out at coffeehouses. So he started his own!
