KentJava Bar opened in December 2013 in the Historic Downtown of Corydon, Indiana. After many years of dreaming about owning my own coffee shop, one February day in 2013, I took the bold move to just do it when I spotted the perfect location on Chestnut Street. I had a vision of what I wanted it to look like and feel like and when I looked into the windows at 227 E. Chestnut Street, I knew this was the place. I knew it would need a lot of work but I was ready for the challenge.

The name "KentJava Bar" was created in my husband's memory. Kent Watson passed away with a rare type of cancer in the heart (Angio Sarcoma) in 2007 after a five year battle with the disease. He was such an inspiration to the community throughout his battle with cancer, having such a positive attitude and never giving in to the disease. He also coached little league baseball for many years, prior to and during his illness, and set such a great example of sportsmanship and being a "team player" and was an inspiration to many Harrison County youth over the years. The coffee shop was my way of keeping his memory alive and letting him continue to inspire people when they read about his story.

Our mission at KentJava Bar is to serve quality drinks in a positive, relaxed, and, most of all, friendly atmosphere. We hope you will visit us soon!
