About Us
Just Love Coffee Cafe is a community-focused specialty coffee franchise offering a relaxed, friendly setting that bridges the gap between the high-brow coffee experience and the mainstream coffee shop. Serving food all day that is simple to prepare, great-tasting, and fun for guests increases the frequency and ticket average of our customers.
How We Started
After his family experienced their own adoption journey, Rob Webb founded Just Love Coffee in 2009 as coffee roaster dedicated to supporting other adoptive families and non-profits through a unique, online-based fundraising affiliate program.
The desire to serve others through delicious craft-roasted coffees resonated with customers and allowed the company to give back nearly $100,000 in its first year of business.
From that humble beginning, the brand has seen its mission grow through like-minded franchise owners opening Just Love Coffee Cafes throughout the Southeast and Midwest.
Customers of the brand's local shops enjoy both delicious signature coffee drinks and artisan waffled entrees even more knowing they are doing business with a brand that is intent on helping its owners make a positive impact on the communities they serve.
It's a concept you can't help but just love.
