History
Established in 2021.
Established in 2021, Tang & Java was born during the middle of the pandemic from a simple idea: create treats we could feel good about serving our own family.
As a culinary-trained chef and a mom, I became frustrated with how many ice creams were loaded with sugar, fillers, and artificial ingredients. My boys love ice cream, so I researched, trained specifically in gelato-making, and set out to create something better, gelato made with quality local ingredients, less sugar, and plenty of flavor.
That same care goes into everything we serve, from our gelato to every cup of coffee and latte. At Tang & Java, we put our heart into each order, and we believe you can taste the difference.
Our goal is simple: to create a welcoming place, serve something delicious, and put a smile on your face through life’s simple pleasures.
Meet the Manager: Diana L.
My name is Diana, and thank you for visiting our Yelp page. Tang & Java is my first gelato and coffee business, and it truly feels like a dream come to life.
I came to the United States from the Philippines with my mom more than 20 years ago. I worked, studied, built a family, and carried with me the values she taught me: work hard, earn your way, and never give up on what you’re building. Tang & Java is deeply connected to that journey and, for me, represents a piece of my American Dream.
But Tang & Java is about more than great coffee and gelato. My husband and I have four children, including twins with special needs, so creating a welcoming and inclusive space is very important to our family. We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel comfortable, accepted, and celebrated for who they are.
We look forward to welcoming you, serving you, and making Tang & Java feel like a place you can always come home to.
