Jeremiah Joe Coffee is opening a location in Utica later this year.

The coffee shop, which has two locations in Ottawa and one in Peru, will open this spring or early summer at 522 S. Clark St., the former Nonie’s Bakery & Cafe, with which Jeremiah Joe has had a partnership since 2020.

“Jeremiah Joe has been blessed to have Nonie’s Cafe and Bakery supply our crazy popular biscuit sandwiches, danishes, cinnamon rolls, and scones,” said owners DeWayne and Pamela Cronkright on Monday in an announcement on the business’s social media. “For all these years, Scott and Debbie, the owners of Nonie’s, have gotten up in the wee hours of the morning to fill our orders, all while running Nonie’s, one of our favorite breakfast and bakery spots.”

Nonie’s owners taught Jeremiah Joe staff how to make their breakfast items and they continue to be available.

“We are ever grateful for their generosity, kindness, and expertise,” said the Cronkrights. Nonie’s closed in November after almost 11 years in business.
