Hi, I’m Jennifer Cook, and I own NoKa and NoKa Joe’s. I’ve had 3 careers and owning this business is by far the most fun. I live in Katonah and have 2 great kids, a terrific husband and a silly dog. I have some great people working here, too. They’re smart, creative and fun. We laugh a lot with our customers and with each other during the day.

We’re located in a great Victorian two-story building in the heart of Katonah, right across from the train station. We’re about one hour north of New York City. (Map and directions below!)

I serve fair trade and organic coffees and teas, and healthy food. And by “healthy” I mean “well worth the calories!” I sell funny, unusual and affordable gifts throughout the store, and funky vintage furniture in my upstairs space. My favorite thing is laughing with the people who’ve come in. I’d love to meet you.

Sign up below for our weekly soup menu in Fall and Winter, my irreverent newsletters, and stop by my blog for more commentary by me, NoKa Jen (the Jen behind the Joe!)
