And this month’s Bicycling, the World’s Leading Bike Magazine, features us and our amazing, scenic hometown of Athens, Georgia. The editor of Bicycling chooses Jittery Joe’s as her everyday fuel at our New York location and says that our coffee “revolutionized my midday buzz.”

The article also highlights our friends at Five Star Day Cafe, and Ike & Jane’s (who both serve our coffee), and Terrapin Beer Company (with whom we’ve collaborated to do Wake & Bake and Depth Charge… ring a taste bud?)

The article mentions our two coffee blends that support the cycling community: Alternative Fuel, which benefits Bike Athens and Morning Ride, which benefits our Professional Cycling Team Mountain Khakis fueled by Jittery Joe’s.

Familiar with the comforting sights and sounds of cozy Athens? The article details the great rides in the Classic City. Love to ride? Try ‘em out. Wanna chill? Grab a cup of joe and enjoy the Athens atmosphere.

So, check us out on newsstands everywhere! It’s the Bicycling Spring Training Issue, March 2010.

The segment will air on Headline News at some point during the following half hours.

Monday: 6am-6:30am
Wednesday: 6:30am-7am
Thursday: 9am-9:30am

Don’t worry, we won’t get a big head, move to Hollywood, and star in the next big vampire movie, but we wanted to say how proud and excited we are to be acknowledged. To us, success means our ability to do what we love every day: bringing you the most delicious coffee possible and serving our community in the best ways we can.

It may not be showbiz, but it’s our biz. And we love it. Thank you for the support!

If you answered heck yes to all of these questions, then you better hop on your bike on May 14-15 for Clarke Middle School-Jittery Joe’s Double Century Bike Ride from Athens to Savannah. (Yes, you read that right. Incredibly epic.)

Raising money for Clarke Middle School programs in art, music, sports, and gifted and special education, this 210-mile bike ride departs from Clarke Middle School on Friday, May 14th at 8am and ends in Savannah the following afternoon. For a $200 tax-deductable donation fee, you’ll get free lunches, snacks, maps, power bars, and drinks on the way down and transportation on the way back.

Feel the wind in your hair as you make a big difference for the kids at Clarke Middle. At Jittery Joe’s, we’re proud to bring you such an amazing opportunity to do what you love. Click here to join us on this incredible journey.

We’ve paired with Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) for a unique blend:  SCAD’s Slam-N-Study.  Collaborating with SCAD, we enlisted the college’s communication arts students in developing the packaging concept.  The final illustration was created by sequential art student Andy J Hirsch.  You go, Andy!

We thought this project would be a great opportunity to include SCAD students in the creative process – to bring their work out of the classroom and into the real world.  It was another chance for us to connect with the students, too.  We’re proud to spread the joy of our delicious new organic Slam-N-Study blend and to take part in this collaboration with young artists. Read the official press on the SCAD website.

Gear up, strap your helmets on, and join us on October 17th for the 2nd Annual Jittery Joe’s Fall Classic Century benefiting Athens Area Habitat for Humanity.

“…Depth Charge Espresso Milk Stout, brewed as part of the Midnight Project, an on-going collaboration with Left Hand Brewing Company in Colorado. Last year, the Terrapin folks flew out to Longmont to create Terra-Rye’ZD, a black rye lager. This year, the Left Hand crew came east. Left Hand is known for its milk stout, brewed with lactose sugar for a creamy texture, and Terrapin has experience with coffee through its “Wake n Bake” Imperial Stout, so this is a natural meeting of the minds. As usual, the coffee was provided by local Athens roasters Jittery Joe’s.”
