Not Your Average Joe

Exceptional Coffee, Even Better People.

Our mission is to inspire our community by including students and adults with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities in the creation of exceptional coffee in an encouraging atmosphere.

Over 75% of people with disabilities are unemployed or underemployed after high school. We're changing that. Here, a job is not just a job. It's an opportunity for meaningful, side-by-side employment, development of life skills and continued learning, a place for much-needed social engagement and community.

Whichever way you choose, thank you for supporting us and all of the people we exist to support. 💛☕️Last week, Dwayne celebrated his 5 year anniversary of working at Not Your Average Joe. In his words, "that's a long time." 

Dwayne (aka Bubba) is truly accept-ional. He lights up the room when he comes to work, whether it's his energetic greetings,  soulful singing, or joyful dancing. You can often hear him say, "This is my family here." We're so glad to be able to provide a space for him to work and belong. We love you Dwayne. 💛
