Saint Joseph’s College of Maine is excited to welcome Aroma Joe’s, a beloved local coffee shop that has become one of the nation’s leading handcrafted beverage franchises, to its campus this fall.

“Aroma Joe’s is not just a coffee shop; it’s a hub for building connections and bringing people together,” said Saint Joseph’s College of Maine President, Joseph Cassidy. “At Saint Joseph’s, community matters. The connections students build here help them burnish their skills, recognize where they fit in, and empower them to create a more compassionate world. Add to that a good cup of coffee and they will be unstoppable!

The Aroma Joe’s cafe is centrally located in Baggot Hall, offering a convenient spot for students, faculty, and visiting families to gather, study, and enjoy their favorite menu items. All of Aroma Joe’s offerings are available, and the company plans to offer employment opportunities for Saint Joseph’s students.

“A cup of coffee isn’t just a transaction, it’s a chance to interact with a human being. We are incredibly excited to become a part of the Saint Joseph’s family,” said Windham-based franchise owner, Kristal Duffy. “Our mission has always been to serve our communities with not just great offerings, but with a warm, welcoming environment. We look forward to serving everyone on campus and becoming a part of their daily lives.”

The new location is now open just in time for the start of the academic year. To celebrate the grand opening, Aroma Joe’s will offer special promotions, giveaways, and events throughout the first week.
