Our Story

Jittery Joe's Coffee has been roasting coffee in our hometown of Athens, Georgia since 1994.

Starting in our original location on Washington Street next to the famous 40 Watt Club, we now lovingly roast and send our beans to loyal customers throughout Georgia and across the country.

Whether you drink our coffee at home in California, a hotel in Atlanta, or one of our many cafes across the state, we thank you for your wonderful support over the past 30 years.

What hasn't changed is our laser focus on sourcing the best green beans we can find across the globe and bringing them to your cup, as well as our love for all things Athens, its music, sports and culture.

Looking forward to the next 30 years!

Our facility location on Broad Street right outside of downtown Athens.

Over 30 Years of Coffee Know-How

Farm to Cup

Jittery Joe’s sources the highest-quality green coffee beans from around the world, so every cup you drink starts with the best.

Jittery Joe’s has established numerous direct trade relationships with farms in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, importing beans from 15 different countries.

Our history and longevity has helped create special partnerships with leading specialty coffee importers in the United States. These sourcing methods enables us to procure the best green beans on the market.

And once these quality beans arrive at our roaster on Fritz Mar Lane, they are in the capable hands of our roastmaster, Charlie Mustard, who creates the amazing coffee that is in your cup
