MTSU

Meet Our Local Owners

As the original birthplace of Just Love Coffee Cafe back in 2009, Murfreesboro holds a special place in our hearts. We are thrilled to extend our passion for coffee and community to the vibrant and energetic campus of Middle Tennessee State University. Our goal is to create a welcoming space for students, faculty, and staff, where the spirit of Murfreesboro’s unique blend of tradition and innovation is celebrated daily.

Annette & Mike

“With 13 years of marriage and four children, our family cherishes active, community-focused lifestyles. Mike’s experience in the US Army and US Air Force, and as a Captain for JetBlue Airways, alongside Annette’s educational career, has deeply rooted us in values of service and learning. Our interests in swimming, biking, running, and triathlons, combined with our children’s involvement in scouting and soccer, reflect our commitment to a vibrant, engaging community life. These values resonate with the dynamic environment of MTSU, making our involvement in the university community a natural fit.”

Tracy

“As a mother of a college-bound student and a younger child, I have a deep connection with the challenges and triumphs of family life. Leaving the corporate world was a decision to pursue a more meaningful path, focusing on family, community, and volunteerism. These priorities mirror the ethos of MTSU, making our engagement with the university both personal and impactful.”

Our journey with Just Love Coffee Cafe aligns with our personal values and our commitment to the MTSU community. The brand’s dedication to excellence, authenticity, and positive community impact is at the heart of what we aim to bring to this campus. Just Love’s mission, which began in Murfreesboro, to use coffee as a means to support families, is a testament to its deep community roots.

As we bring Just Love to MTSU, we are not just opening a coffee shop; we are creating a community hub. It’s a place where the MTSU family can gather, share experiences, and enjoy high-quality coffee and food. Our vision is to make Just Love a cornerstone of campus life, supporting local causes, and enhancing the university experience for everyone.

We look forward to being a part of the MTSU community, offering a space where the university’s spirit is celebrated, friendships are formed, and every cup of coffee makes a positive impact on the lives of our university customers and the broader Murfreesboro community.
