Joe was founded in 2003 as a singular specialty coffee house in Manhattan’s West Village with the simple vision of brewing the highest quality, unique coffees and serving them with unsurpassed hospitality and knowledge. In order to bring such highly curated coffees to our customers, we worked alongside some of the most renowned domestic and international roasteries. With the july 2013 launch of our own roasting operations in red hook, brooklyn, we now roast 100% of our own single-origin and blended offerings. Whether in the roastery or in one of our now 10 cafes, we strive to affect our deeply rooted core value proposition: the desire to build, maintain and strengthen community at every level from producer to customer.
Whether it is a Craft Ale, Crisp Lager or Cycliquid – each of our beers is a unique Sixpoint creation. The fountainhead of our creativity is not confined to the shackles of “style guidelines” because style simply has no guidelines. Style is boundless, amorphous, restless.

Charlie Palmer’s signature Progressive American cuisine first took root in the original townhouse location of Aureole, where he made an early commitment to farm over factory food. Today, Aureole continues to shine at One Bryant Park under the kitchen leadership of Executive Chef Gabriele Carpentieri. Dining at the contemporary Aureole is staged in two venues: the formal Dining Room and more casual Liberty Room. In the Dining Room, terra-rich colors and golden lighting combine to create a comfortable environment and opulent warm glow, reminiscent of Aureole’s original townhouse intimacy.
