The service here can be very hit or miss. The employees always seem overwhelmed and disgruntled. Maybe that's why they've been talking about unionizing. Don't expect to go there for a quick lunch, you will wait 20-30mins+ for food, even if it's just a toasted bagel.

You've heard of hole-in-wall places, but this one is literally a door in the wall. You will question if more than 10 people can fit inside, but don't let that keep you out. The entrance way is a touch narrow, but once you pass the ordering area it opens up! Tables, comfy chairs, a group gathering space. Yep, all just past that tiny door. I found myself up that way last summer and of course I quickly sought out somewhere to enjoy quality coffee. In conversation with another artist, he mentioned Joe and upon seeing the Yelp photos I knew where I would be spending the next few hours. If you're a visitor like myself, know there is free parking at the end of the block (going downhill) on the left. Also, take the time to walk around the quaint downtown area. Now about Joe's. This is truly a coffee shop and bar in one. And since there's a full food menu, also a cafe. You will find something to eat and sip no matter what time of day. I of course ordered my go-to, an Americano. I settled into a chair with the vantage point of three people playing Monopoly, two others sketching, a couple flirting at the bar, and what appeared to be a family gathering taking place in the larger room. There are board games and books to borrow, local art on the wall for purchase, and plenty of cool Joe schwag to take home (including beans). The Americano was perfection in a cup. The bean, roast, and pull were some of the best you will find. About halfway through it, I saw someone with their house made cinnamon bun. Talk about envy in your heart! But alas I opted for a seasonal latte so I could take it and walk around the downtown. I know they've been around for a few years, and I hope they're around for many more.

Met some friends here to hang out. It’s a very laid back, friendly atmosphere. The caramel latte was wonderful.

Dogs were delicious. Sauce had a little kick to it. The place needs fries but other than that it's great.

All the Sammies, tacos, and salads can be made gluten free which is most of the menu! This is a GREAT find for gluten free needs and the food is very good. The coffee is wonderful. Totally what a coffee shop should be.Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu can be made gluten free

I wrote a review a while back. I’m changing it. Some (and I do mean SOME not all) of the college girls that work here are so and I mean so incredibly rude. The service is terrible they will stand and talk to each other look directly at you while you’re waiting to order and ignore you and continue to talk. When they come to take your order finally they’re incredibly rude looking at you as if you’re inconveniencing them by being there. I love love love the coffee but the service is just awful. I leave here aggravated every time.

Yesterday I went to the joe like I do often. I will admit I haven't been in about a month but I knew I had two free drinks on my rewards. Me and my daughter decided to stop and redeem them. I order my coffee and redeem the points. Order my daughter's, system takes the points and the girl then does something and my says I owe. I explained I used my points. She says I saw what it says and you owe very rude. Which she was from the beginning. I pull up my points and it says that 2 drinks were redeemed. I show her and she says I still owe. I tried to show her and again rudeness. So I ask her to cancel the both orders because I honestly didn't want to deal with her rudeness. I check my points this morning and my points were never returned. I have been going to the joe since it opened and have usually received great service. However the last few times I've been there it hasnot lived up to past experiences and yesterday made me honestly rethink the joe altogether. I've worked in this service myself and I would have never treated someone like I was treated. Hopefully they get better servers. I miss the days with Ray, Jodi and them were there. Seems customer service left when they left. I guess that's why I stopped going daily and will now go back to dunkin or McDonald's for coffee. Extremely saddened by losing great coffee due to poor customer service.

It says online and on the window on Saturdays they are open until 9pm. My boyfriend and I drove from Morgantown to get a ghostface mocha drink. Pulled up in front at 8:34 pm. Go up to the door and the door was locked. Tried multiple times and it for sure was locked. The two ladies that were standing by the counter didn't even look toward the door. This is not good customer service.

Exactly what I expect a coffee shop to be, Starbucks just doesn't cut it.Lots of different drinks and food options. I had the matcha and it was really good. The veggie tacos were amazing!! And I had the greatest chocolate chip muffin ever. Will definitely recommend as a cool hangout place, not too loud, had good vibes and creative energy. Also they have a changing table for babies and that's always a plus for me. Will definitely go back. Only downside was parking but there is some to the right of it by the post office. We missed them and had to go around because it's a one way so heads up. ?

Was there today (Sunday) around 2:30 and you could tell the staff was counting down till closing time. The person taking the orders was very inattentive and the person making the drinks seemed really annoyed. Also, a person who ordered after us got their drinks before ours were even started. All in all, it just wasn’t a very friendly experience and I even tipped 20% on my order. I’ll need a good reason to give this place another try.

This is a great coffee shop. One of the few that not only uses high quality beans, but also make a rich, strong cup of black coffee. My wife loved the flavored cappuccino drinks, too. Quality food and craft beer as well. The final touch is the great setting. Comfortable seating, lots of character.
