Everyday Joe’s is not your everyday coffee house. No, in fact it’s quite different from your ran of the mill coffee house. You see Everydays Joe’s is a non-profit coffee house.

How it Came To Be

In 2002, Timberline Old Town Church (then called Joshua’s Crossing) moved into the space at 144 S. Mason. As a church the building was only used on Sundays and sat empty the remainder week. Several members of the church thought better of this and wanted use the building during the week in some way that would benefit the community. Everyday Joe’s was born the first of it’s kind in these parts at least.

Since it’s humble beginnings Everyday Joes has become a place where anyone can come and use the computer and get a cup of coffee and warm up. A place where city government officials can meet, lawyers can wait for verdicts, students can study, and a person who lives on the streets can read a book and feel loved and try to get back on their feet. These are people whom most wouldn’t think of as sharing a room, but it’s what you see within the walls of 144 S. Mason every single day.

Here’s what Everyday Joe’s says about their coffee and tea.

At Everyday Joe’s, we take our beverages quite seriously. We believe they must be as delicious as possible, or why would you want to come back?

Our Coffee: We proudly brew beans roasted by Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea. Intelligentsia is a company committed to brining justice & sustainability to the coffee industry (which can be rather scandalous). Intelligentsia is committed to relationships with the farmers they buy their coffee from. This little practice is something they call Direct Trade. So, by buying a drink at Everyday Joe’s, you’re actually just two steps away from a farmer & their family half-way across the world. How’s that for community, eh?

French Press: None of the house coffee at Everyday Joe’s is drip-brewed. We brew our coffee in small batches using the French Press method. This allows all of the nice tasting oils that give different coffees their distinct characteristics to make their way into your cup. Fantastic.

Specialty Drinks: When it comes to ordering a latte or cappuccino or other espresso-based beverage, you can be sure that it is hand crafted with love. We pull each shot by hand after freshly grinding the beans. We also steam the milk for each drink individually so it is fresh and most likely beyond tasty. If we don’t like the way a drink is coming together, we’ll scrap it and start over…just for you.

Chai Tea: We make our Chai concentrate in-house most everyday. It starts with a Black Chai base, then we add cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, ground cardamom, and vanilla extract. After a hands-on process of mixing and straining, it’s ready to be prepared for your consumption.

Loose Leaf Teas: All our loose leaf teas are blended locally by The Tea Table. They are quite tasty and we prepare them by the cup. Disappointment on your end is highly doubtful.
