Genuine Joe has all the basics that make a good coffeehouse: tasty beverages, comfortable seating, homey atmosphere, and quirky art. It has quickly become a neighborhood center, hosting Spanish lessons and several community groups in its meeting room. But Genuine Joe is so great because the staff there is so gosh darn … well, genuine. They serve the diverse Anderson Lane crowd without hipster hegemony or blandness, but with a funky, welcoming smile.
