This Black-owned coffee spot is an absolute gem. I’ve been twice now, and both experiences were amazing. The young woman at the front is incredibly knowledgeable and gave me great coffee tips. We bonded over our shared love for truly authentic coffee and how a touch of cinnamon can elevate the flavor. She made me the most incredible oat milk latte. Truly a 100 out of 10.
On my first visit I ordered the avocado toast, which was excellent. This time I tried the Out West Wrap, and when I tell you I thought the toast was unbeatable… baby, that wrap took it to another level. It was so good I almost ordered extras to bring home for my family, but then realized they need to experience it hot and fresh.
The bathroom was spotless, which I always appreciate. The overall vibe is very welcoming, that everybody-knows-your-name neighborhood feel. Even though it’s Black-owned, you see people from all backgrounds in there, which I love. I ended up sitting for hours getting work done because the space is just that comfortable.
I also heard that during the summertime they have DJs and live music on the weekends, and wherever the patio is open, it’s always lit. I hate that it’s about an hour and a half from me, but I will absolutely be back. I’m officially obsessed.

This was my first time visiting, about a week ago. I stepped up to the counter unsure of where to order and was redirected. I studied the menu and had a few questions about the drinks, but the cashier seemed to become visibly frustrated.
I placed my order and was told to step down to another area, as the food would be ready in a different section. I walked over to that section, which had a very long counter with no signage. I asked the person behind the counter where to pick up my order and was told exactly where, then told to have a seat and “get comfortable.”
I was thrown off because I didn’t ask where to sit. I also didn’t understand why I needed to get comfortable for two items when the place was nearly empty, or why I should take up a seat that customers who wanted to dine in might need.
The drink was very bland, and the sandwich had too much of a pickle-like substance. While it may be another option for the community besides Starbucks, it’s just not for me.

I went for the first time today. The food was amazing. I got the breakfast burrito with duck bacon. It was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The staff was friendly and considerate. I would definitely recommend.

Friendly and professional and you are greeted with a smile every time. The food is super great and I love the garnish as well. The pastries are also very good and plentiful and the thing I love the best is my specialty tea and cup, nice.
Thank you Afro Joe’s for all that you bring to the community.
The food was okay and the ambience was very warm. The lady singing had an amazing voice
