At Just Love Coffee we're more than just a coffee company. You could say our story is one based on love; love of locally, hand-roasted coffee, love of people, and love of our community.
Rob and Emily Webb already had two beautiful kids, Isabel and Charlie, however, the call to adopt was strong for the pair and in 2009 Rob was on a flight to Ethiopia. Little was Rob to know that this event was to change not just his life but also those of countless other people. You see, Rob had one of those inspirational ideas as he learned of the sacrifice and challenges of people in the same situation.
What if he were to set up a hand roasting business as a for-profit venture that existed to help others? One that took the customers into a form of social partnership? In essence, Rob decided to start a business dedicated to using hand-roasted coffees to help others whose passion was to...well... just love.
Just under $100,000 was given back to the community in the first year, proving that a socially-minded enterprise could work. Since that time the business has grown through online sales, wholesale distribution, and franchise development. One of our goals has been to change the stereotype of the typical cafe and we now offer a full food menu—not just pastries and snacks—to go with our coffee at our franchises.
To us, the waft of excellent hand-roasted coffee represents an opportunity to change the world we live in; to put people before profit; to give back to the community. Just Love Coffee Roasters has been a finalist in the prestigious Roaster of the Year in 2014, 2015, and 2017. That's not all; our wonderful franchisees also donate to local charities and causes in their region.
Our journey has just begun, but we love that we’ve managed to do good while delivering a few of life’s great pleasures: a cup of excellent coffee, a full and exciting menu and a relaxing atmosphere. Who says crazy dreams don’t come true?
