About Joe Coffee Company
Joe Coffee Company was founded in 2003 by Jonathan Rubinstein as a single specialty coffee shop in Manhattan’s West Village, with a simple vision: brew exceptional coffee and create a welcoming space for the community. Today, Joe Coffee operates 24 cafes across New York and its own Roastery in Long Island City, while remaining deeply committed to quality, hospitality, and education. At Joe, we believe a great coffee experience relies just as much on the barista as it does the coffee. That’s why we invest in industry-leading training and the long-term success of our team. As an early pioneer of artisan coffee in New York, we’re proud to continue innovating, growing, and leading as the specialty coffee movement evolves.
