Dan and I met during our freshman year of high school in Bloomington, Illinois—we were just 15 and have been inseparable ever since. Ten years later, we finally tied the knot. Five years after that, we became proud parents to our son, Grant, and his little brother Owen joined the fun three years later.
In 2005, we made the move to Florida when Dan began working with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. I started my career shortly after as a social worker, serving children and families in Palm Beach County for nearly 15 years. We settled in Jupiter in 2006 and have loved calling it home ever since.
In 2021, we stumbled across a small coffee shop in town that instantly felt like something special. We started offering Haitian Blue Mountain Coffee and craft hemp products—and never looked back.
Now, five years later, we’re still here and still loving every minute of it. From day one, our goal has been simple: create a welcoming place for great coffee, good vibes, and meaningful community. Whether you’re popping in for your morning espresso or relaxing with friends over a gummy or tea, we’re grateful you’re here.
Thank you for being part of our story.
— Cat, Dan, Grant & Owen
We Serve Haitian Coffee
At I Need Coffee in Jupiter, Florida, we proudly serve Haitian Blue Mountain coffee—one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after and unique single-origin coffees. Grown in the high-altitude mountains of Haiti, these 100% Arabica beansdeliver a rich, smooth flavor with hints of citrus, chocolate, and spice.
Haiti has a long and storied coffee history dating back to the 1700s. Despite producing world-class beans, the Haitian coffee industry has faced decades of setbacks, from political instability to a lack of modern farming equipment and infrastructure. Many small-scale farmers still rely on traditional methods and have limited access to global markets.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Singing Rooster, a non-profit that works directly with Haitian coffee cooperatives. Through fair trade relationships and reinvestment in local communities, Singing Rooster helps farmers improve crop quality, increase their earnings, and build sustainable futures.
When you drink our Haitian craft coffee, you’re not just enjoying one of the best specialty coffees available—you’re supporting ethical sourcing, sustainable agriculture, and Haitian farming families.
Looking for authentic, farm-direct Haitian coffee? You’ll find it here—brewed fresh daily at I Need Coffee, right in the heart of Jupiter.
We Specialize in Craft Hemp
In addition to our unique Caribbean coffee, we proudly offer premium craft cannabis products made from Farm Bill-compliant hemp. Our focus is on hemp-derived THC, including THCA flower, Delta-9 edibles, THC chocolates, and prerolls—all made with clean, potent, and lab-tested ingredients.
Thanks to the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoids became federally legal, as long as the Delta-9 THC content remains below 0.3% by dry weight. This legal breakthrough created new opportunities for small businesses like ours to offer legal cannabis products in Florida—without the need for a medical marijuana card.
We specialize in small-batch, craft cannabis sourced from trusted U.S. farms that prioritize quality and compliance. Every product we carry is third-party lab tested to ensure it’s safe, effective, and compliant with both federal and Florida hemp laws.
Whether you’re looking to relax, manage stress, or enhance your daily routine, our legal hemp THC products offer a reliable and enjoyable experience—available in-store every day from 7am to 3pm.
