Wondering how much does it cost to start a coffee shop?
 Just Love Coffee Cafe is designed to be a relatively easy franchise to open, and it may surprise people to learn the initial investment can frequently be lower than other coffee franchise costs.Â
The idea for Just Love Coffee Cafe was born out of love, not just for coffee but for families. Initially an online coffee service, Just Love Coffee Cafe began as a for-profit endeavor to offer financial assistance to couples undertaking the often expensive adoption process.Â
But we also aim to help our franchise owners connect with their customers in many ways by creating an inviting atmosphere where people can relax for as long as they’d like with a cup of coffee, a good book, a laptop, or friends.

Part of the customer experience at Just Love Coffee Cafe involves a menu unlike any other. In addition to our specialty beverages and hand-roasted coffee blends, we have built an all-day menu with a twist: nearly everything edible is made with waffle irons.Â
This distinctive style of cooking streamlines the size of our locations so our franchise owners don’t require a large kitchen or a significant footprint. In fact, Just Love Coffee Cafe franchises average around 1,800 square feet, keeping the coffee franchise cost controlled.
The menu at Just Love Coffee Cafe is an experience in its own right. With omelets made on a waffle iron, waffles that are more like desserts, and imaginative sandwiches and salads for lunchtime fare, we have delectable food with a twist that can keep customers coming back time and again.
Without a full kitchen, our owners can easily run their Just Love Coffee Cafe location with a smaller staff to help keep the coffee franchise costs low without sacrificing revenue streams.
The Coffee Market is Hotter Than Ever
Today’s cafe customers are looking for more than their favorite latte or cappuccino. They’re looking for tasteful blends, delicate or robust flavors, and more specialty types of coffee than they ever have in the past.

What’s more, specialty coffees, like the type that are hand-roasted at Just Love Coffee Cafe locations, appeal to more than 30 million Americans daily. The low coffee shop startup cost of a Just Love Coffee Cafe location can help you become part of the coffee business, with a reasonable initial investment to join an industry projected to grow 33% by 2030. Â
