Asked for a tea in a for here cup, she put it on to go cup by mistake and then dumps that into for here cup by then the whole point of getting a ceramic cup instead of a synthetic plastic cup is being missed. As she pours into the ceramic cup it spills on the side, the place that you put your lip to sip the tea, she wiped out with the cleaning wet towel used in the bar area for cleaning counter (disgusted face :() which is full of germs. Moral of the story I didn't drink that tea and wasted five dollars. A bit disappointed that these are very basic Points. Otherwise always liked their coffee and patties read more

They fulfill orders day-in and day-out and I don't see why there would be any reason for everyone's order to be served already except mine (with no one else at the lobby left but me). The girl creating the drinks was dismissive and unapologetic of the oversight even though it was obvious I was waiting too. They outright skipped my order stub. Boo. Was it because I'm Asian? This Asian on Asian micro-aggression is getting out of hand. Please honor the good coffee with a better experience in service. read more

JJ Bean Coffee Roasters - a cup of iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Moody, British Columbia

I come here about once a month. While I am not a big fan of the coffee (I find it overly strong and bitter for me), I do adore their baked goods. The almond Belgian chocolate croissant is to die for. The chocolate is rich and chocolaty and the almond filling is not overly sweet or synthetic tasting. The croissant is flaky and light. It is a very good combination if you like almond and chocolate. Another favorite is the jalapeno and cheese muffin. It is great for breakfast or snack. It is not very spicy and the cheese is yums. For a sweet accompaniment, I like the salted caramel crackle. It is a bit hard/crunchy but it goes perfectly with the coffee. This place has an upper level, so do check it out if the ground floor is full. A nice neighborhood place for coffee besides Starbucks across it. read more

This JJ Bean has garnered a particularly high rating, I was curious if it was in fact so. Neap. (No+yep). Kind of but not really. The place is located in one of those repetitive housing developments by the notorious Onni Developers. The interior of the joint is somewhat alright for a suburban cafe. Got all the trappings of nowness, but lack the finer refinements such as acoustic and temperature control. With two entrances of the corner location, you are ensured to get a constant draft. You might as well be sitting outside in a breezy winter day of 0 degrees. The surfaces of the place is all hard which bounce every echo endlessly. This is super fun on a day when it is busy with kids like today. The offerings; the coffee isn't bad but due to the temperature of the place, the coffees were lukewarm to start. It is on the strong bitter side and has more significant kick than anything Starbucks. Nothing remarkable. The pastries was soggy and regrettable. For whatever reasons, like the Commercial Drive location, JJ Bean's staff here are also grumpy. Two young angry ladies held down the joint. Barking at the customers. Could be they are understaffed? Whatever... But as a customer, it was a terrible first time experience. The coffee isn't significantly good enough to tolerate the overall unpleasantness. Won't be returning. read more

Consistent drinks, great food - their gluten free peanut butter cookie is so addictive!

Nice cafe, but tables aren't very clean the menu is also very small, just a A4 page on the counter, very difficult to read when there is a line... similarly, prices on baked goods are super tiny. Maybe they just expect regulars? Also kinda difficult to carry drinks up the stairs Muffin was very delicious though ^^ read more

JJ Bean Coffee Roasters - Chocolate Zucchini Muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Moody, British Columbia

The Coquitlam cafe has friendly staff and fast serves . JJ Bean is always my coffee cafe and rail town coffee is the best . Usually I'm at JJ Bean on Main and 14 my home cafe for 18 years read more

I work for one of the contractors providing services to the management of this strip mall, so I have occasion to visit this location often. It has a very nice vibe that is distinct from the corporate consumerist sensation you get from their competitor across the street. Not a coffee snob, it's all the same to me. The baked goods, sandwiches, and wraps are where they truly excel. Feels like wholesome, homemade pieces, unlike the larger joints where they essentially serve fast food. The staff are very kind and friendly. read more

Great new location, modern decor but needs more seating!! I meet my girlfriend here for coffee, been here several times now, service is always great. I love the option of drip or French-press coffee. Also has vegan muffins and other treats. It's two levels but still not much seating. read more

JJ Bean Coffee Roasters - Scone and latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Moody, British Columbia

Very friendly staff, enjoy the design and atmosphere. I'm a big fan of dark roast coffee so its hurts for me to say this, I do not really enjoy their Railtown beans. I like Honduran, I like Organic, I love an Americano but I find these always turn out a little too bitter for me. I'm a simple coffee fella and I never use alt/dairy/sugar, so you can really taste the acidity. If that's your game I understand, just not my first choice. I have been obsessed with the Jalapeno & Cheese muffin at multiple times in my life. I've been known to eat one a week, which is likely my shame threshold, as this is such a treat that I know it can't be great for my dad bod. There are also some delicious Vegan baked goods here and a couple of Veg/an savory breakfast items. read more

My favourite study spot in Port Moody! Always clean, and the decor is very cute. I like going upstairs as there is much more space, and is perfect to study or to catch up with a friend. The coffee is very strong, and I love how many different milk alternatives there are right in front of you! And food wise, the chocolate chip zucchini muffin is a must. read more

Great coffee, food selection, staff, decor, wifi, seating upstairs is cool too. Only thing it's lacking is some power outlets read more

JJ Bean Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Moody, British Columbia

JJ Bean just opened in Pomo. So far, so good. Definitely has a Yaletown in the 'burbs feel. No complaints on ambience here. THAT drink station is bloody awesome. Hello cane syrup, raw sugar and fresh, fresh cream. Have I mentioned the free pastry samples at the register? Don't be shy and get one of them babies. Great looking pastry case filled with delightful, non stale-looking, more out-of-the-ordinary goodies. You won't go wrong with the banana bread or the giant vegan chocolate cookie. It's been a while since I've experienced cafe goodness like this. I've been in twice so far trying to avoid the Starbucks barista across the street who I had the worst customer service experience with this past August. (Clue: if you like being told you CAN'T have a customized drink, go to this Starbucks) I actually walked into JJ Bean and asked for a pumpkin spice latte, only to find out they do not specialize in fancy shmancy drinks. So I had a hazelnut latte with the perfect aroma and crema to it. The second time, I had an americano and a regular brew. Great, straight to the point coffee. Service here is all smiles and super friendly, despite the fact that they're so newly opened, staff is just getting their bearings on. I do miss the other awesome baristas at the above-mentioned Starbucks, but JJ Bean's got a new regular thanks to... From what I heard, it's a no wifi zone at all their shops. So no dilly-dallying, erm, I mean, working at any JJ Bean! read more

They have really good wraps. Multiple seating sections, upstairs and outside. The coffee is good and the staff is very attentive

With my dairy allergy I tend to have to be picky with where I get my lattes because some places don't have high quality milk alternatives BUT, JJ Bean hits the spot perfectly....every time! Their soy milk lattes are always done to perfection and their espresso has well rounded flavor. Not to mention their vegan friendly, baked fresh daily treats - don't miss their banana bread next time you're in! Thanks for keeping my love for coffee alive JJ Bean read more

Amazing coffee spot in Port Moody. Staff are incredible and the coffee is always great. Highly recommend checking this spot out.

As a resident of Suter Brook, coffee enthusiast and vegan, I absolutely love JJ Bean (vs. Starbucks across the street). Their wide selection of vegan muffins and cookies are awesome for weekend mornings. I wish they were open earlier in the morning so I can grab coffee/muffin before heading to work. On some days I work from home, I like to go to coffee shops and work, but I once asked one of the staff if there's a plug anywhere and she said no. She added that JJ Bean is a place to socialize; thus, it was designed to discourage those who want to work/study alone. Holding a laptop, I felt suddenly unwelcome here and since then, whenever I go there alone to just enjoy a cup of coffee, read a newspaper, etc. I feel uneasy when a staff looks at me. As a regular, it may help if staff were more friendly, welcoming and making conversation esp. with the regulars but this is lacking compared to the over the top service I get from Starbucks across the street, where I've been served with recognition, interesting conversations, and complementary drinks when they made an extra drink and they see that I've been working for a few hours. read more

JJ Bean Coffee Roasters - Vegan muffins: pumpkin apple and chocolate zuccini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Moody, British Columbia

Since I live near this café, it has become my go-to place for a little tea/coffee break in the afternoon during some of the weekdays and breakfast during the weekend. The location has a nice, modern feel with bricked walls, and large windows, making the interior of the café very welcoming. And speaking of welcoming, even after going there several times already, I have never experienced any hostility or discomfort; the staff working here is very friendly and sociable. I remember being surprised with the variety of pastries and sandwiches and other café-treats they offered. It's cheaper or the same price as the other cafés, but I would say that the quality of the pastries here is muy bueno! My favourite pastry would be Butter Tart because the crust has a crispy texture, and the filling tastes like butterscotch.. or caramel (not entirely sure... the point is, it's sweet), so it's a satisfying little treat for a sweet tooth such as myself. As for the drinks, I have not had their coffee, or Chai latte etc... but I've had their Sencha tea, and it tastes pretty good - If you like Matcha Green tea, I think you would like this one too. There are two levels, but I usually get the seat on the second floor because the seating space feels more open, and the natural light from outside amplifies the coziness along with your drink. I do feel that there should be more seating, and the wi-fi could improve just a little bit more, but overall, it's a great place to meet with your friends to chat or to settle in and study/work. read more

Good tea lattes! Open later than other cafes in the area on Sundays. Plus it has a cool plant wall.

I waited 25 minutes for a wrap and when I asked about it after 10 minutes of waiting I was rudely told it was "on the grill" then ten minutes later I asked again and he said again "it's just getting off the grill". Meanwhile, many customers got theirs before me even though they paid AFTER me!...NOT happy. read more

The place was a little hard to find & parking is a pain. I want to start by saying I have very little knowledge of coffee, except I like my folders. I came in here looking to buy a friend a birthday gift. The barista was slightly impatient with me even after I explained I wasn't very knowledgeable & although I was the only person in there she tried to rush me & acted like she had someplace else she had to be. I explained my friend loves her coffee extremely strong & the barista assured me the Christmas reserve would be perfect....well needless to say my friend was not happy with your product & neither her or I will be back! read more

Moving away from the more traditional, woodsy interior, this @JJBeanCoffee is modern and sparse. Actually, if it weren't for the way cool wall mural-planter, this place would leave you cold. Well, except for the warm drinks. Baking on the premises also a huge lure, (for gluten-eaters that is) as the (torturous) aroma of freshly baked cookies rises up to the second level, taunting, tempting.... To a gluten intolerant, it has more the affect of, well, --a suicide jump. Thank god for coffee! *Also, just around the corner is CHOMP, a gluten free establishment. read more

I've been to JJ Bean on Renfrew, Main Street, Commercial Drive, Powell Street, Alberni Street, Brooksbank and Lonsdale and 17th. As far as I am concerned, JJ Bean has the best coffee. And, by the way, there is wifi in every one of those shops! A thing I am impressed by is their generosity to charitable organisations. Among other initiatives, they send some staff to work at Habitat for Humanity each year, read more

I absolutely love the atmosphere and design of this place, though the chairs upstairs can be a little uncomfortable. It's in a great location for all of us tri-cities folk. Unfortunately, while their customer service is excellent, I don't think they quite have their barista skills perfected yet, so the quality is not as great as other JJ Bean locations. I find most of the espresso-based beverages are often quite weak. The plus side is the pastries are the same as all of the other locations, so you can't really go wrong there. read more

Decent coffee place. Locates in a nice new neighborhood. Drink selection is a bit limited though. Other then that, still a nice place to sit and enjoy the afternoon time. read more

In 53 Years I have never been greeted so genuinely than by staff at JJ Bean location in Port Moody. Each staff member made me feel just as good as the one before. It all started when I ordered my coffee until when I left. Whoever was working that day your not paying them enough. Well done management. read more

If you are tired of ubiquitous Starbucks, you should try this place in trendy Suter Brook village. The latte is amazing and strong. It is a little bit noisy, especially on the second floor. read more

I was here roughly 3 weeks ago to grab a coffee for my daily commute. The manager, Ayla, was unprofessional and going off about her personal problems in front of several customers who clearly looked uncomfortable, and leaving the other baristas to deal with the daily rush. The service was slow but this could have been sped up if the manager wasn't hiding in the back room for the majority of it. You could briefly see the annoyance and displeasure on the baristas' faces, but they grit and bared it and continued to provide service with a smile-- props! Overall, the coffee was great, but I would not come to the Suterbrook location again solely because of the rudeness of the manager. read more

I have been to several of the JJ Beans and by far this is the best if them all. The staff here is unbelievably the sweetest and the best of baristas. The manager has out done herself with the staff and the place. I will keep coming back to this place over and over as the quad lattes I receive are outstanding each and every time. The staff just brightens my day when I see them !!! Thank you Port Moody Staff!!! read more

My first review (below) gave 2 stars. I was contacted by someone about my coffee experience and it was explained that Natural coffees are not roasted but dried in the sun. Chacun a son gout, as the English say, bit I found it really awful coffee. Anyway, person at JJ Bean H.O. gave me two 200 gram bags of roasted beans (Railtown & Eastside) to make up for my 'natural' coffee experience. Both are very good. JJ Bean knows how to treat customers, roast beans and make excellent brewed coffee (I was given an excellent Americano when I picked up my beans). ORIGINAL REVIEW: Two stars because it is a nice clean new space but the very friendly and competent staff sold me the worst beans ever. I have bought beans from JJ Bean for years at the Commercial Drive location and been happy with the quality so this was very disappointing. I bought Wote Konga Natural Ethiopia beans. FYI I grind my own, use a bodum coffee press and drink my coffee black. The coffee made from these beans was horribly fruity and acidic, completely lacking in bottom notes or earthiness; it was thin, un-coffee-like and the awful fruitiness lingered for far too long. I find it hard to believe that anyone could like this 'coffee'. Either the roaster screwed up or this is just a very bad bean. read more

Their customer service is awesome; nicest people working here! Coffee tastes fantastic, and such a nice atmosphere! In contrary to what Sheryl said below, they actually DO have wifi, but it's only available during weekdays. Which is nice, because that means I can actually get a seat during the weekend instead of having to go somewhere else because of people bumming around on their computers for hours... I loved finding out the food was baked right at the store, so you know you're getting the freshest stuff (can't go wrong with the ham and swiss turnover!!). They also have a gorgeous plant wall made of real plants that's different from any other store I've ever been to. Definitely a go to spot for someone looking for great quality coffee! read more

Good service, good drinks, nice location. Just need a better menu as it doesn't showcase everything they have so always have to ask.
