SOJO Coffee Company SOJO Coffee Company is a cozy coffee shop, eatery and roastery located in downtown Lakefield, MN. Greetings! We agreed, old coffee is bad coffee!

About one year ago, in the search for the best cup of coffee, we asked ourselves, “Why can’t we buy fresh-roasted coffee in this area”? Having a love for great coffee, we set out to change that! Realizing nobody was actually roasting coffee and that coffee beans purchased at the local grocery store or in many local coffee shops were either roasted months ago, or sealed in a bag and allowed to sit on a shelf for a year or longer; it become obvious, the coffee we were drinking was simply…old. Understanding that the window for drinking fresh coffee was about two weeks after roasting and that quality in taste and aroma quickly decline with time, we decided to expand upon our passion and share our hobby of home roasting coffee with our friends and family. Compared to “coffee in a can” or beans roasted months ago, fresh artisan roasted coffee is an exceptional experience. The distinctive quality and unique attributes that custom roasted coffee is known for must be experienced to be appreciated. Quickly, the superior quality of our fresh-roasted coffee and the immediate demand we had for more drove us to think bigger and SOJO Coffee Company was born! With the purchase of a new roaster, we are now roasting and cupping small custom batches of the best single-origin coffees from around the world and creating blends that are simply outstanding! Follow us as we continue the journey of developing our passion! We anticipate having our website completed soon and will be bringing our best coffees to the public market. Thank you for the support and curiosity in our new endeavor! Brent and Danielle-

SOJO COFFEE UPDATE! As many of you know, Danielle and I have placed the business and real estate that is SOJO COFFEE for sale. We have loved serving you over the last 13 years with the roasting business and nearly 5 years with the coffee shop, and we continue to greatly enjoy our work and seeing all of you at SOJO! Because of you, SOJO COFFEE has become one the very best uniquely hometown Mom-and-Pop coffee shops in the area and is one of Lakefield’s many successful and loved small businesses. Our quality and service are unmatched and business is booming! However, we feel it is time that the brand we created is passed on to a new owner, one that will bring new ideas, energy and growth to SOJO COFFEE and to the community. Danielle and I have plans for our next chapter in life and SOJO COFFEE deserves a new family to lead it into its next chapter.

Some of you are aware that we have been working with a local buyer over the last few months. Unfortunately, the buyer has decided to pursue other opportunities and will not be completing the purchase. As such, we are again looking for that special person, family or investor that would like to own a piece of what makes Lakefield special, a distinctive highly successful small business with its own unique personality and a stand-out among the many boring and unexceptional corporate coffee places. We are in search of a creative buyer that understands the importance of detail and quality and seeks to lead and operate their own fully turn-key established business. The hard work is already done; YOU can take it to the next level!

If you have interest in this rare opportunity, stop in and talk with us! In the meantime, there is no hurry and we look forward to continuing to serve the community for as long as it takes. Thank you to everyone that continues to make SOJO COFFEE special, we are extremely grateful for your patronage and friendship!
~Brent and Danielle

We've learned something interesting from our closure today. Please consider Facebook and Instagram the most reliable source for up-to-date business hours. Google... not so much. If anyone has suggestions on other ways to communicate with the public, please let us know. Although we updated our business hours yesterday on Google, searching us still shows the shop being open today. Why? We found out (thanks ChatGPT):

"It can take a while because Google doesn’t always publish a business-hours change immediately. When you edit your Google Business Profile, the change may go through a review and verification process before it becomes visible everywhere.

Typical timing:
A few minutes to a few hours: Many straightforward hour changes appear fairly quickly.
Up to 24–48 hours: Common if Google needs to review the change.
Several days: More likely if Google detects conflicting information or has trouble verifying the business.
Longer: If the profile has other issues, such as being marked temporarily closed, suspended, or having conflicting hours from other sources."

There you have it. If anyone was mislead by Google's delay in updating our hours for today, we appologize.

SOJO COFFEE CLOSED TODAY
FRIDAY SEPT 25
OPEN SATURDAY 7AM!

We are sorry for the inconvenience and late notice on our closure on Friday Sept. 25. As many of you know, we are a very small family run business. How small? Two people small. Three people on Saturdays small. Being that small allows us to focus on exceptional quality and unmatched customer service. However, it also leaves us extreamly vulnerable to the simple things like sick kids, family events and closed daycares. If one of us catches a bug during the week, the shop goes down. Sometimes, there isn't much warning. We stress over disapointing our valued customers and never close unless absolutely necessary. Please watch our social media (Facebook and Instagram) and check our hours on Facebook and Google. That is the best, If not only, way to communicate our hours and unplanned closures. We will be open Saturday at 7am! We hope to see you then. Thank you for your understanding and patience, we greatly appreciate all of you! ~SOJO
