Not Your Average Joe

I absolutely love Not Your Average Joe! The environment is welcoming and so pleasant. I'm in a wheelchair - in this location is very accessible for me. I never feel as if I'm treated like I'm "less than." The coffee is amazing and they always go above and beyond to make it perfect. With every cup that I have - I always want to come back for more. Thank you so much, NYAJ, for being a wonderful impact on the Norman community!

I stumbled upon this place when I was searching for coffee shops near OU prior to my visit and I'm so glad I did! Not only is the food and coffee spectacular but the people are too! My Mom and I went to Not Your Average Joe three times while we were in Norman and were always welcomed warmly by the amazing staff that works there. If you're in Norman for any length of time, I would highly recommend stopping in here at least once. If I come to OU in the future for graduate work, I will definitely be a regular customer here!

The veggie burrito is literally the BEST breakfast burrito I’ve ever had and Camden who took our order was a delight!! He was very sweet and the woman helping him take our order let him do it all himself and I could here her instructing him while we waited on what to do. It made me really happy that they’re so inclusive here and really work with the people they employ to make them feel included versus just doing everything for them (their neurodivergent employees). Amazing company. So happy.

The last three times I’ve been in to the Norman location, I’ve had to reheat my drink by the time I got home. Normally, I’m not the type to leave a review, but after the third time this is unacceptable. Looks like I’ll have to stick with Haystack as my Norman coffee joint and only visit NYAJ’s midtown location, since the Norman store cannot ever serve things in a timely manner.

I pulled in here 30 minutes after they closed because I had never noticed this place and wanted to check it out. They still served me a great horchata latte, and also the man who runs the place spoke with me about their mission statement and then gave me free scoop of ice cream on my way out. Very cozy, happy vibes in this place on a rainy day.

What a great little meeting or study spot! I love their mission and purpose. Supporting special needs members of our community with jobs and interaction with the public. The Horchata latte is primo! If you like spicy and chocolate, try the Dragon's Breath latte. A beautiful location on Elm very near Campus Corner in Norman as well. Will definitely return. 👌

Well, when it comes to NYAJ, it’s hard to pick one thing to talk about. I will start with the coffee. It’s one of the best I have ever tried. So far, I have had Dragon’s breath mocha, the drink that must not be loved, Sherpa chai, latte and cappuccino! While all of them
were good, my favorite is the Dragon’s breath mocha with its spicy tinge! Secondly, the people are the best! The staff is so friendly and cheerful! Thirdly, I love their mission! Accept-ional is my new favorite word! Finally, there is so much love and warmth in the air that it’s hard not to be happy as you walk into NYAJ! Thank you NYAJ for existing!

Love this place. Great mission. Great employees. Great coffee. Great food.

My daughter and I loved it here!! Great people! Great food and beverages! Great cause!! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. It's "accept-ional"!!

Looking for a local coffee shop? You gotta check out Not Your Average Joe! Such a fabulous place for delicious coffee (or chai 😁), great staff, and a fun, positive environment.
