Coffee roasted with love in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Located in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia we roast our coffee by hand on a "San Franciscan" 25 lb. batch roaster. Nothing about the process is automated; each batch is individually roasted to bring out the best from that particular bean. We are dedicated to the craft of roasting coffee and guarantee that each cup of Joe you drink is roasted with care and pride.

Despite all the care we put into roasting our coffee it is only as good as the green we source; we take tremendous pride in the quality of our green coffee. We have been dedicated to bringing in some of the finest green coffees available. Some of our coffees carry a certification for Organic, Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance.

At Shenandoah Joe we believe that a focus and insistence on quality breeds success not only for us, but for our coffee producers as well.

Shenandoah Joe Coffee Roasters was established as a small batch coffee roaster in 1993 in Charlottesville, Virginia. We currently offer over 25 varieties of specialty/boutique/gourmet coffee using only the finest Arabica coffee from all over the world. Coffee is our passion and we painstaking search out the best coffee available. As a small batch roaster we are dedicated to the craft of roasting coffee. We do not depend on automation in the roasting process, instead balancing the science and art that can only be gained through years of experience. Nothing is taken for granted as we continually strive to provide the best coffee we possibly can. We roast all of our coffees to order based on our wholesale orders and the needs of our Espresso Bar, insuring that only the freshest and highest quality coffee leaves our roasting house.

Over the years Shenandoah Joe Coffee has established a loyal and dedicated following. We had dozens of customers that would come into our tiny warehouse every week to get their beans. It was great to talk about coffee with those that appreciate our passion. Every summer we would set up a booth at the Charlottesville City Market and sell coffee by the cup. More fine people got hooked and it opened up the door for even more great conversations about coffee. All along people suggested that we open our own coffee house. In May of 2007, we moved Shenandoah Joe into our current location on Preston Avenue in Charlottesville. We opened an additional location on Ivy Road shortly after.

At Shenandoah Joe it has always been All About the Joe. Looking to open a coffee house we wanted to create a relaxed place to share out passion about coffee and to foster a community espresso bar. A place where people of all walks of life could hang out, work, converse and connect with one another over a fine cup of coffee.
