There's no place like it. I started coming to Not just Coffee a little over two years ago, and from that day forward, no other shop could steal my affection.
The owner of the shop, James Yoder, is an easy to talk to guy, with a love for coffee, and an even greater love for the people he serves. As the owner, he continues to work the same long hours he always has... Even when he's exhausted. He's the essence of dedication. His family have become the dearest of friends to my husband and myself.
I'm currently spending time in Seattle, the coffee capital ;) even while I'm here, I can't help talking to the baristas about the shop back home, that, if they are ever on the east coast, should go out of their way to visit.
Each cup ordered at NJC is made with such care and dedication. The baristas go through training at Counter Culture, and practice as much as they can to make each drink perfect. They really care about giving you their best performance each and every time.
This shop is my favorite of all.
