Junto Coffee

Opening its doors at the historic Southern Bleachery, also known as the Taylors Mill, February of 2019, Junto Coffee is led by a talented group of customer-oriented baristas. This group balances a complex, seasonally-varying menu along with their commitment to consistency through the turbulence of a growing customer-base.

Junto is the dreamchild of Alex Medina, who cut his teeth in coffee over a dozen years ago at Greenville’s specialty coffee legend, Coffee and Crema. Years of hard work - bar shifts, educating and training, competing, and building community - Alex went on to work for the green coffee importers, Ally Coffee. This position gave him a wide perspective of the coffee market at large through origin trips, conferences, classes, and conversation. Alex is a well rounded coffee person, and is certified by the SCA as a Lvl 2 Barista, Lvl 1 Roaster, Golden Cup Technician, and a Specialized Instructor. Aside from coffee, Alex is into anything and everything tech and is on a lifelong search for the perfect ramen.
