This is not a coffee shop. I'm not sure if this place was ready to be open yet. The "coffee shop" was a kiosk in the back of a convenience store and the drinks were just from a machine that you selected settings and it spit out your "drink." The staff didn't seem trained on operating the coffee kiosk and we're pretty unprofessional (except for who I assumed was the manager because she seemed to know more, and attempted to show the other girl how to do things, who seemed very uninterested in learning how).The coffee was horrible, and the "latte" from the machine was even worse. Neither were drank beyond the first sip and the second"well maybe it's better now" obligatory drink. I was at least expecting low gas station coffee prices because that was the vibe there (and lower quality product) but it was mid-range hand-crafted espresso prices.

Cafe latte was decent. Friendly service. Joe's Brew is located INSIDE the Prime Time Nutrition store.

Good latte and loved the banana nut bread! Finally a place to order coffee near home

Delicious coffee and drinks with great service!( paper cups only) not a real coffeeshop, is more like a to go fast service. Bit confusing cause is inside a convenient store next to a library.

I think it's some of the worst coffee around and the groceries are overpriced. Too bad they can't put a little cafe in there.

I was told they have small, medium, and large coffee but their mochas only come in small and medium... It really feels as though some companies go out of their way to be as STUPID as possible.

Coffee is not bad. Service is what makes this place stellar. Friendly faces and pleasant dispositions. Oh and the produce prices! WOW!

Small cafe with some pastries located in the same building as the library and sharing a space with a grocery store. There's no seating inside the grocery store/cafe area but there are seating outside. I thought the milk for my latte was heated too hot and I didn't really taste the espresso. But it's nice to have a cafe in this area, especially so conveniently located near the library. It has different (longer) hours than the library itself.

I'm out in the area for my son's soccer game. To wait for the Rumrill Soccer Parking Lot to empty out, I decided to look for a coffee stop. I came here to find that the person who works the coffee section was at lunch... Apparently, the the people who work behind the counter don't make coffees. And the lady would return in about an hour... This was at 1pm. So that means she'll return close to 2pm. Very disappointing. Especially when your hours of operation, according to yelp, is scheduled to close at 4pm... hmmm.... So I bought a couple drinks from their refrigerated section... at least the person who rung me up was nice.

The first review of this place is probably a shill. This little counter in a convenience store looks ok but is poorly managed. No one was at the counter and I had to wait a few mins before a staff popped her head over and asked "sir, did you want coffee?". Umm yes, thats why I am standing in front of the coffee counter. They have no ice coffee, and tried to give me half leftover old drip coffee from the morning. I had to ask them to throw out the old batch in my cup and just fill it up with the new coffee. Oh yes, and the coffee was mediocre.

This place is inside Prime Time Nutrition in the Library. I had a carmel macchiato and it was one of the best I've had. The little store is super cool too. It reminded me of a small Whole Foods or Nugget with fruit, vegetables, dairy, and grocery at prices that I thought were typos because they were so low.
