Yakima -- Continuing our coverage of the economy on a downturn. It seems to be everyone's favorite advice to trim your budget, cut back on lattes.

But Java Heaven in Yakima says their customers are still pulling up and filling up that "cup of Joe".

Their numbers are staying strong despite the economy.

Mike Seelatsee, customer says, "Just less movies, less trips you know things like that, but she's here every Sunday actually everyday."

Katie Hall, customer says, "I come probably three times instead of everyday."

Customers have told the folks over at Java Heaven they buy coffee because it's the one treat they can afford.
