Adam’s son Kael, who is 12, is also involved in the business. “I love that this is teaching my son a good work ethic,” says Adam. Besides maintaining the high quality of the O-Joe brand, sup - porting the local community is another priority for Adam. Be- cause his kids are involved in hockey and several sports, he understands the importance of giving back and supports local fundraising efforts. Adam is also open to collaborating with local businesses by adding more menu items to the café. As the café gets off the ground, Adam plans to offer coffee tast - ings and opportunities to learn about different roast profiles and ways to prepare coffee, such as French press and lattes. Located at the Rusty Wrench, 9 Front Street in Strathroy, O-Joe Café is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 3 pm and Satur - days, 9 am to noon. Their grand opening is Saturday, February 8, from 9 am to noon. You'll find an array of coffees to try, tasty eats, and a lot of fun! For more information, visit O-Joe Coffee at www.ojoecoffee.com.
Looking for that Perfect Cup of Joe Strathroy now has a new option for people to find that perfect cup of coffee to add to their day. With his passion for making coffee and bringing the community together, Adam Cairns, owner of O-Joe Cof - fee, has opened a unique new café that shares space with a brewery on Front Street in Strathroy.
When Adam learned that Mugg’s Coffee Shop was closing, he saw an opportunity to open a café as part of O-Joe Coffee’s suite of services. This opportunity was made possible by collaborating with Chris Traczuk, who owns Rusty Wrench Brewing Company. Sharing the brew mas - ter’s space made sense to both own - ers and on January 3rd, the O-Joe Café opened at the Rusty Wrench. Operating in Strathroy since 2013, O-Joe Coffee is a small-batch cof- fee roaster that sources sustainably grown and ethically traded coffees,
preferably from smaller farmers where the supply chain can be traced. Adam and his team pride themselves on roasting their beans fresh, using eco-friendly packaging and shipping right to their customers' homes or offices. When O-Joe Coffee’s founder, Joe, decided to sell the business, he hoped to find someone local who would take it to the next lev - el. With his background in accounting and having recently sold his stake in the London Music Conservatory which he co-owned, Adam was perfectly positioned to be that someone. Attracted to the quality of the O-Joe Coffee products, Adam purchased the business in October 2020. “Adam has always cared very much about quality in all products he consumes, so this business was a natural, comfortable fit for him,” says Adam’s wife, Lindsay. Adam is involved in every aspect of the business, including hands- on roasting, developing new techniques, and creating ideas to build the business. Jenna joined the company to help with pack - aging and delivery. She’s a Strathroy local who loves being part of this growing business and claims that O-Joe coffee is the best in the world. “I call Adam the coffee Jesus!” Jenna laughs.
