Crema's Take
“Papa Joe's has figured out the comfortable third-space formula better than most: genuinely friendly staff, solid espresso drinks, and pastries (especially cinnamon rolls) that people specifically return for, all housed in a relaxed spot that works equally well for a quick coffee run or an hour of work. The fact that it's located inside a hand car wash somehow adds to the appeal rather than detracting from it, creating a genuinely local vibe that draws families and regulars who appreciate the lack of corporate polish. The beans are sourced from Greenway Coffee Roasters, and the whole operation feels like what a neighborhood coffee shop should be.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

I was looking for a coffee spot that was NOT SBs. Without knowing the area I wasn't sure where to go. Well since my dad's name and my brother's name was Joe I decided to go to Papa Joe's Coffee. After being warmly greeted by Chasity I felt like I was at home. She was so nice…
Friendly people and great coffee drinks and beans...which are from Greenway Coffee Roasters. This used to be Clutch City Coffee. Now it's a coffee shop and a hand car wash, The Wash Auto Spa. The ladies making the coffee drinks were super nice, Ravin made a couple very tasty…
