Genuine Joe Coffeehouse transitioned to a new home this month after the longstanding location on West Anderson Lane was forced to closed after the property was sold.

Current situation

The coffee house will continue providing its roasted brews and cozy vibes at another location on Anderson Lane in a partnership with Russell’s Bakery.

Genuine Joe owner Josh Brown shared that the new space will maintain the same ambiance of the original location, preserving its sense of community—right down to the original furniture. The company has converted the unit directly next door, formerly a GMC office, now serving as an annex for community meeting space.

Quote of note


“Our Anderson location is partnering with [Genuine Joe’s], a 20-year Austin community landmark. Their old house is turning into condos, and we don’t want a piece of Austin history to just disappear,” according to a post by Russell's Bakery on social media.
