5. Original Joe’s Coffee on Waverly
Though Joe’s Coffee may currently be a citywide chain, its original location first opened its doors right in the heart of Greenwich Village at 141 Waverly Place. The company was founded in 2003 by Jonathan Rubenstein as a singular specialty coffee cafe that sought to provide high-quality unique coffees and a comforting space for the community to gather together.
To ensure the best quality, stringent standards are used when selecting coffee beans, which requires hundreds of samples of coffee being tested on a yearly basis. In addition, Joe’s Coffee maintains a seasonal rotation of beans and works with transporters to ensure the safe arrival of all goods. Joe’s Coffee also fosters and promotes the continued education of its baristas through providing industry-leading professional training. For the environment, the company is also committed to building sustainable relationships with importers, exports, brokers, and farmers.
