Picture this. It’s a sunny 72-degree day. You’re meeting a friend for a drink at your favorite restaurant but you realize – “Wait! I haven’t had my coffee today! How did THAT happen?” So, you stroll up and grab a seat at the bar and, twiddling your fingers, wonder, “Should I have a cocktail or should I have coffee?” The answer: BOTH!

The year is 2007 and the U.S. is going through the worst financial crisis...

And now on the start of his 50thyear with Law Coffee Co. he still walks through those same doors and that smell, which he is not yet immune to, still greets him. Mills began working for Law Coffee on August 16, 1967. He doesn’t hesitate at all in recalling the exact date. Born in Oxford, NC Mills moved to New Jersey in April 1964 as a young man simply seeking work....
