Rock legend Joey Kramer, drummer for Aerosmith and Founder of the Rockin’ & Roastin’ coffee brand, will open his first brick and mortar Joey Kramer’s Rockin’ & Roastin’ Caf? in early 2015. Situated at the intersection of Routes 1 and 1A in North Attleborough, MA, the Joey Kramer Rockin’ & Roastin’ Caf? will cater to the coffee faithful by offering an unmatched atmosphere laced with rock royalty.

Encompassing 1,500 square feet, Joey Kramer’s Rockin’ & Roastin’ Caf? will be a coffeehouse with rockstar edge. As one approaches, Kramer’s custom-designed Rockin’ & Roastin’ dragon will be reproduced into a bold sign with illuminated eyes. In a glass jewel case visible from the roadways, Kramer’s full drum kit from the recent “Let Rock Rule!” world tour will be expertly backlit and displayed in all its glory. Once inside, the ceiling is lined with undulating rock-and-roll images and memorabilia so while java aficionados await their Rockin’ & Roastin’ creations, they can experience a taste in music history. With table seating and plush couches, Joey Kramer’s Rockin’ & Roastin’ Caf?’s d?cor is unlike any other coffeehouse.

“I’ve always wanted to start my own business and I’m humbled by how far Rockin’ & Roastin’ has come in the past couple of years,” said Joey Kramer, Founder & Chairman of Rockin’ & Roastin.’ “Opening up our flagship caf? is another way that I can continue to entertain fans in new and unique ways.”
