BEST DRIVE-through ESPRESSO - Jacob's Java - The Jacob brothers understand that coffee is a staple of Northwest life. But that doesn't mean Northwesterners have time to sit down and relax over a cup of joe. Heck, no. Jacob's Java employees realize that coffee is as important as oxygen for many Spokane residents, so they provide customers with their required caffeine rush as quickly as they might CPR. Jacob's Java is owned by twin brothers Scott and Paul Jacob, who continue to ensure the efficiency of their employees. With six locations in the Spokane area, Jacob's Java has proven once again that it is the reigning monarch of the Inland Empire's drive-thru espresso kingdom.
