    chaggachino with 2 extra shots.. i like a little strong drink
    Poetuh V.

    Oh bixby joe.. there's not much to say about this coffee shop- which kind of makes it perfect for a routine coffee. It's average coffee, which is not a bad thing- you can just expect to have it the same way each time. The staff seem busy most times you walk in, there use to be more of a greeting but times have changed. It's a more quiet vibe. However, it is a nice place to work on things- like if you forgot to send that email or fix that paper- you could swiftly do it there. Quick note: they close the kitchen at 4 but may let you know it's closed at 3:45-3:50ish. So be weary of ordering before that time frame. Overall, a solid coffee shop that can go either way depending on your taste :)

    Stopped by Bixby Joe's at 2:30 on a Tuesday. Fairly busy inside but a few tables available. Decent amount of seats in a smallish cafe. Plugs next to most seats and a/c is good. Very reasonably priced! Seems like drinks take a minute to come out, so I wouldn't stop by in a rush, but I enjoyed the coffees! Very good quality and the cold brew was refreshing.

    Bixby Joe's been a staple since 2018, non-stop customers when dining there from take out to dine-ins. FOOD 3.5/5 Not bad, nothing amazing but does the job! - Protein Packed Breakfast Wrap - $11.95 - Iced Avocado Blend Medium - $6.25 - Bagel Sandwich w/Lox, Everything Light Co - $12.50 AMBIENCE x STAFF SERVICE 4/5 Friendly service from all staff members and the ambience is pretty clean with the staff cleaning tables, taking the trash out, etc. PARKING 4/5 Easy parking in the plaza lot

    A warm, welcoming local spot when you need a reset After a long and draining day at the state disability office, I needed something to lift my energy and found Bixby Joe. I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, it felt like a true local café--people playing chess, others working on laptops, enjoying food and coffee. The space was warm and welcoming, and the smell of fresh pastries and bread was immediate. I appreciated that they also offer vegan cookies and pastries. I picked up a slice of pumpkin bread and a vegan chocolate chip cookie, both really good. Since it was my first visit and I don't like overly sweet drinks, the staff recommended the Spanish latte, which was smooth, balanced, and delicious. I also ordered the ham panini on sourdough, filled generously with spinach, tomatoes, onions, and mayo. It was flavorful and comforting. The only small note is that the bread did get a bit soggy, though I still enjoyed it and ate the whole thing. I sat at the counter listening to relaxing music and soaking in the good energy. Everyone was kind and welcoming, and the barista even grabbed me a cup of ice and suggested a few other items to try next time. Overall, a really pleasant experience with good coffee, good food, and genuinely kind people. I'd happily stop by again when I'm in the area.

    I live near by and often pass by but never stopped. I decided to finally check it out and I see why it's so popular. Great food, pastries and bagel options..plenty of of coffee, smoothies and drinks to choose from. Good music, nice staff and seating available inside and outside. Since it's popular, you'll have to wait a little bit for your order. I got a bagel sandwich and it taste okay. My order was wrong so maybe that's why I didn't enjoy my food as much as I'd hope. I will be back to try it out again and just make sure to have them read the order back to me before paying.

    Lox croissant

    Waking up early is already tough if you're not a morning person. But imagine finding a coffee shop along your route to work. Imagine it circumvents traffic and you're able to relax for a few minutes from the time saved! This is that coffee shop. I'd say it's more than that. I've been here a few times and it begins to feel like home. There is a local crowd that hangs around here. It's family owned and the owners are real and kind. I grab the lox croissant or the avocado toast, either with an avocado smoothie (yes, avocado!) or straight black coffee. Yum! All of them are amazing! If you ever stop by, treat it like your home. When you walk in, make sure you say hi and good morning. Genuinely ask how it's going. Then enjoy the environment. Many friendly ppl and of course some ppl that just want to enjoy time alone. But either way, be polite, keep your manners, and don't forget to say thanks and see you all later!

    Veggie wrap: egg white, lettuce, cheese, tomato
    Zellina P.

    Great spot! We ordered to-go and our food held up great until we got home. The veggie wrap was perfectly balanced with soft, scrambled egg whites, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, enveloped in a lightly toasted tortilla. My partner ordered "double sausage" for his breakfast bagel and was pleasantly surprised to get 4 slices of sausage. A meat lovers dream. The iced latte was also great. We will be back!

    We got together at Bixby Joe for a writers club this morning. The space is big and great for small groups to meet. They have great vegan options for bagel toppings for the win. It was pretty dang crowded at 10am on a Thursday- which good for them! 4 stars because some issue with an order but we'd still go back.

    Our favorite quick breakfast spot. This place is affordable, provides nice size portions, has incredibly delicious bakery items and provides top notch service every time. Been coming here for years and never had an order wrong or anything not made to my liking. I really enjoy the extensive menu (yet not overwhelming). Located in a strip mall with an ok amount of parking. At busier times, you may need to circle, but more often than not, it's pretty easy to find parking. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Every day and at all times, you will find people working from here. It's a chill environment, yet a bit loud. Really a great spot in a good location!

    I've been to this place a few times and like it a lot. however, this time i came in at 4:53pm on a Tuesday and their kitchen is closed???????? i thought it's because they're closing soon but i checked their hours AND THEY CLOSE AT 6pm... why are they still open then if they aren't making any foodbut it's fine the girl was nice just wondering why the kitchen is closed so early. also, their phone line is down because i keep trying to call but it doesn't ring.

Milk with a taste of matcha. It was NOT my horchata matcha that I always get. I was extremely saddened by this. I threw away the drink. I'm going to stick to my pch girl from now on. If I was pregnant I would be throwing the biggest fit. I still did, but imagine. Ugh my craving was not satisfied. If you want to sit inside good luck, that parking lot has like 4 spots and I'm sure the employees use them. Otherwise street parking will be your only option. They have an updated menu with flan & banana items at the time I went 05/22/26. It's attached in my photos to view.

These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar.

I also buy their espresso beans because, you know, I can't come here every day lol. And if you buy a bag of coffee, they give you a free drip or iced coffee, which is such a nice little perk! One thing to keep in mind: if you come on a weekend morning, make sure you have a little extra time. The shop itself is pretty tiny, so they only allow about 5-6 people inside at a time, and the line can form outside.

First it's 7:30pm, planned on ordering a matcha and the person at the register informed me that there was "No coffee or tea after 4pm" so I choose to order a non alcoholic beverage and maybe something to eat and cashier or owner, whoever this person was tells me if I plan to work because it becomes a "laptop free zone" after 4pm. Odd behavior to tell someone what they can and can't do at an establishment considering it's called a coffee AND wine bar. Maybe this is something to advertise on your yelp and website but a "laptop free zone" after 4pm is pretty ridiculous for potential customers who were just looking to eat and work. I almost feel like he just told me that because I was going to order a salad and a non alcoholic beverage and wasn't planning on ordering much. As the other 1 star reviews mention "pretentious behavior" so it's either the cashier or whoever it was is being pretentious as others mentioned or RACIST... Kinda odd to dictate what I do on my own accord while I'm a patron at your establishment. If I ordered food and a drink but chose to open my laptop, are you going to ask me to leave? Doesn't really seem customer centric. Considering that I've worked on my laptop at dine-in restaurants, it's pretty odd behavior to display. Also, considering that this is not a club, and there's no live music, and there were only 3 people sitting in there, I think I would have been fine to sit there quietly in a corner with my laptop. 1 star for the experience and weird behavior.
