Crema's Take
“Joe Coffee takes their espresso seriously—crisp extractions, meticulous technique, and creative house drinks like the Miso Brown Butter Latte that actually deliver on their promise—so skip this if you want a casual caffeine pit stop. The 13th Street location draws a mix of serious coffee nerds and neighborhood regulars who appreciate the upbeat energy and genuinely skilled baristas, though you might notice the space could use more attention to deep cleaning.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

We stopped last week for a cappuccino about an hour before the closing. I asked for a regular mug “to stay” instead of a paper cup. I was told they are closing soon and only paper cups are available. If not for that, I would give it 5 stars. The cappuccino was excellent as…
