About Cup O Joe Coffee Co.

Born from Passion, Brewed with Purpose

A Veteran’s Journey from Service to Community 

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I knew it was time to transition out of the military and start a new chapter. As I reflected on what I truly enjoyed, sitting at home with a cup of coffee, it hit me: I love coffee—not just the drink, but everything it represents. It’s a morning ritual that brings people together, fostering a sense of community. That’s what I wanted to share with others—a place where people could feel connected over a simple cup of coffee.

 

What Coffee Means to Us

To me, coffee symbolizes the hardworking American spirit. There’s something uniquely American in the way we gather around it—no matter where you're from, coffee is a bridge that connects us. It’s more than a drink; it’s an experience that unites people.

 

How Military Service Shapes Our Business

Being a veteran has given me the foundation to run this business successfully. The military taught me that logistics is key—if you don't have what people need, they’ll find it somewhere else. I’ve also brought the values of coaching, mentoring, and teamwork into how I manage Cup O Joe. Our team isn’t just a group of employees—we’re a family.

 

What Makes Cup O Joe Special

When you pull into Cup O Joe Coffee Co., it’s more than just another drive-thru. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the difference. You’re greeted with a smile, not a sign. You’ll watch the barista prepare your drink from start to finish—every step right before your eyes. It’s a personal touch that builds a unique connection with our customers—all from the comfort of your vehicle.

 

Giving Back to Veterans and First Responders

We are proud to support Heartland K9s for Veterans, a nonprofit that provides service dogs to veterans at no cost. Every bag of coffee sold helps fund this important mission. Throughout the year, we also donate coffee to our local police and fire departments as a small way of saying thank you for their service.

 

A Grand Opening to Remember

At our grand opening, we gave away three big prizes. Two of the winners still visit us every week, and that really means a lot to me. Their loyalty and feedback have been invaluable, helping us grow and improve our product over time. It’s people like them who make this journey so rewarding.

What We Hope You Feel at Cup O Joe

When you visit Cup O Joe, I hope it reminds you of someone who made a positive impact on your life—a loved one who served or someone who influenced you in a meaningful way. Being in the military changes your perspective forever, and I hope that as you look around the shop, the decorations spark memories of positive moments in your life.
