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 :)

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.

Protein Packed Breakfast Wrap - $11.95

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Cappuccino and Butterfinger latte
Bianka C.

Came in before my daughter's ballet class which is right across the street and the owner took our order and she was just the sweetest! The coffee shop itself is so cute and quiet. We ordered their ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwich, a cappuccino and their chocolate muffin and everything we ordered was delicious! We had an amazing experience so we will definitely be back!!

I stumbled upon Bixby Joe the other evening after I had took my brother to the Urgent Care next door. While waiting for our ride we decided to go in and see what they had to offer. I find it cool how they offer custom smoothies and my brother had opted for a strawberry, banana, & mango smoothie. I was actually a bit reluctant to order anything as I try to steer away from caffeine once it gets late in the day. I asked the cashier for the most popular picks as I was indecisive and he recommended their mocha frappe. I requested it without caffeine to which the cashier informed me it would just be milk and powder which I was okay with. They were unfortunately low on pastries as we arrived 30 minutes before closing time so my brother got one of the chocolate chip cookies displayed on the counter. The environment is relaxed and I could see myself coming here to study or read. My frappe was pretty subpar but I honestly believe I just ordered the wrong item. Fortunately my brother loved his smoothie. Overall, this is a cute coffee shop in the heart of Bixby Knolls that I'd revisit. 3.8/5

Rad coffee wasn't so rad tasting unfortunately…read more.. I'll admit it could've been my order I honestly have no idea. I was going to order something until the cashier told me what it actually was and then I was like oh I don't want a coffee shot I want a coffee... so she made it into a 16oz version. I truly don't remember what it was. But it just wasn't good. I was... not impressed. I didn't taste any vanilla and the coffee wasn't a background dancer more than anything. The Spanish latte. Was not Spanish. It was, a very bland watered down coffee. I tasted the hint of condensed milk or so I think it was. I have no idea how they make it at this establishment. The aesthetic is really different and stands out. It's a whole different vibe & it's nice to see a different coffee shop that isn't so picturesque and cutesy and moderny. I love the idea and concept. Service was quick and friendly. Menu is very large and visible for ordering. They have their own plaza for parking.

I've been stopping by Tierra Mia Coffee since they opened ages ago, but I moved away from their…read morelocation a few years back. Just yesterday, while taking my kiddo for a drive, I realized there's a spot nearby where I now live! I'm obsessed with their horchata frappe--has it gotten even better over the past 20 years? I swear it has. Their tres leches muffin is also absolutely delicious and worth grabbing if they have it--but go early because they tend to sell out by the end of the day, proof of just how good it is. The drive-thru line can get pretty long, but it moves pretty quickly. You can also park and walk inside; the place is spotless and cozy. I could see myself sitting there, catching up on some work while enjoying my coffee. Tierra Mia is a hidden gem--if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out and definitely should!

I need to not cheat on my PCH Tierra Mia…read more I never go anywhere else except the PCH one. Guess what I did? Visit the one on Carson st. Horrible idea. Short drive through, extends onto Carson st. The wait time was maybe 30 minutes. They were slammed for sure. I ordered my usual horchata matcha. First sip. Milk. Shake, shake, shake. Another sip. 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.

Sadly the hype of this place was hugeeeee that I think that takes my expectations to another level…read more Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. This place sits right next to the bowling alley and there is actually No big sign for it. Thankfully when we went there was no line either which was great since everyone talks about how busy it gets in there. There was a kiosk or you can order with the employee. She told us they were known for their jelly's so I made sure I tried it. I ordered a black milk tea with matcha jelly And hubs ordered his with almond pudding. Thankfully I could adjust sweetness and milk. I thought mine was good. It's not bad but I knew it wasn't something I would crave. Hubs did not like his as much as I did. Our kids loveee Their matcha but I was not able to try it. If I'm in the area again maybe illl have some but it's definitely not something I'll drive out of the way for.

The gentleman that helped us at the cashier was extremely friendly, his smile, his attitude and mannerisms were beyond friendly and professional. I have to give him his kudos, because a lot of businesses don't have employees like this anymore. We were not ready, so we let someone go ahead of us. There was so much to order, but I decided to just get two drinks and the jalapeño cheese croissant. I have to say the jalapeño cheese croissant is my favorite. The bread was so warm, flaky, and that cheese and jalapeño were just enough. They did not skimp out on this. Our drinks were SOOOO GREAT! I got the honey vanilla oat latte with the banana cold foam. Yes the cashier guy helped me and I absolutely love all his suggestions. He also suggested the cheddar jalapeño croissant. My daughter got a chai tea latte and we LOVED our drinks. I must come back very soon. I regret not buying some of the treats like the rose cookies and fruity pebble rice crispies that I saw on display. While we were waiting for our drinks outside, the cashier came out to bring us our croissant. I also noticed the trolley outside, which I read serves chili in a bowl on certain days. All around, this place gets five stars + and I can't wait to be back!
