Commonwealth Joe Coffee Roasters (CWJ) is a premium specialty coffee roaster and retailer that pioneered Nitro Cold Brew coffee on tap in offices in the DC Metro area. In 2017, CWJ expanded Office Nitro operations to New York City.
With the goal of transforming traditional office coffee and over 14 years of roasting experience honing our craft, Commonwealth Joe is focused on making specialty coffee approachable and accessible to all. Our differentiators lie in our experience and in our focus on freshness, innovation, and experimentation. With teams dedicated specifically to the crafts of coffee roasting and cold brewing, attention to detail and quality control from bean to cup are of the utmost importance - from the specific lots of coffee we source to the roasting and brewing profiles we develop specifically for our Nitro Cold Brew. We do everything we can to ensure our customers receive best-in-class product and service. Our Nitro Cold Brew on tap is currently available in dozens of DC Metro offices.
For our loyal customers who don't have access to our coffee in office, we own and operate two retail coffee shops in Arlington, Virginia: The Java Shack, located in Courthouse, and Commonwealth Joe Coffee Roasters, located in Pentagon City. In addition, we sell our fresh roasted whole bean coffee at select Whole Foods Markets and local specialty grocers in the DC Metro Area, and Nitro Cold Brew on our fleet of mobile trikes during the summer months.
Voted "Best Coffee Shop in the D.C. Region" by the Washington City Paper in 2017 and 2018, we are dedicated to breathing new life into the ancient craft of coffee roasting and making amazing coffee approachable through our principles of freshness, craftsmanship, and healthy relationships.
