Kuppa Joe Coffee Shop

Description: A locally owned, family-run coffee shop in Gastonia serving coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, bottled drinks, and light café items in a relaxed neighborhood setting. Opened by a father and his children, the shop is named in honor of late family members and is recognized as Gastonia’s first Black-owned coffee shop.

The space has a cozy living-room feel with couches, soft lighting, family photos, and seating meant for lingering rather than rushing in and out. Good for casual meetups, quiet laptop work, morning coffee, conversation, and supporting a community-focused business on the west side of Gastonia
