    The drinks have cute artwork and taste pretty good! That cinnamon bun is mostly just a bunch of dough and caramel though.
    Guerric H.

    I stopped here recently for a mocha and a cinnamon bun; the mocha had a really nice flavour, fairly rich and a bit sweet, but the cinnamon bun just tasted like unremarkable sweet bread with caramel poured on top. The interior is quite stylish, but the layout is actually a bit awkward for a coffee shop, with a lot of seats crammed off into one corner out of sight of everything else. It's a perfectly good coffee shop as far as I've experienced, but not one of my favourites.

    * Bright new location * JJ Bean continues to expand around Vancouver. I spotted this brand new location in the old Maxine's spot. They have made it extremely bright inside, with a silver coloured cavernous ceiling that seems to act like those metal wings you see in the movies to give people a suntan on their face. Combined that with a lot of light natural wood and it was BRIGHT. I had an espresso. It was a bit sloppy in the cup, but it was pulled correctly flavour wise. I imagine they'll work the presentation kinks out as they get more used to things. Perhaps the brightness was throwing the barista off a bit! In any case, good taste overall.

    Had some drip coffee and latte here. Nice interiors but the staffs need to clean up the tables more often.. Every table was filled with emptied plates and cups. Regardless of this I liked their latte. Pretty good :) Loved the high ceiling too.

Wouldn't go here if you're short on time but it was a nice spot for us before going to Stanley park.

Happy to discover that this place was nice and quiet inside so would definitely consider coming back here again. Food was awesome. I absolutely loved my Shakshuka. Might be the best Shakshuka I've ever had. Not that I'm any authority figure on what a Shakshuka should taste like. But I really enjoyed this one. The combination of flavors, the runny egg yolks, the gooeyness of the cheese...it was just such a wonderfully comforting and belly warming meal. I saw a Cinnamon Honey Latte on the board and decided to order that for my drink. These days, I can never tell when the word "Latte" is being used to describe a coffee beverage or whether it's being used to describe a beverage that has milk in it. A Matcha latte for example, tends to just be a sweetedned Matcha beverage with milk in it. No coffee thrown in. I was kinda hoping this Cinnamon Honey Latte would be milk with cinnamon and honey thrown in. It turned out to be a coffee beverage. No complaints about it. It's on me for assuming that it was milk with cinnamon and honey thrown in. I should have probably asked our server about the beverage before simply ordering it. Will make sure to do that if/when we end up here again. Kinda had my eye on the Turkish Apple Tea though so might just order that next time and the whole "Latte" dilemma wouldn't be an issue with that. My daughter's Avocado Toast looked super yummy as well. Might try ordering that next time, although Michelangelo's Mediterranean Spread was also kinda calling out to me!

Staff seems passionate about the different beans they offer and can help you choose. The not-so-good: the breakfast sandwich is probably amongst one of the worst I've tried: texture-wise it's soggy (maybe due to heating methods?) and flavour wise quite boring and bland. Pastries are average. Their nitro cold brew is all head and lacks flavour. I have never had such a bland nitro cold brew. The way staff responded about my complaint, emphasizing that it's nitro, made it seem like this is the only nitro cold brew they've ever known and don't realize there's so much better (more flavourful, with less head) nitro cold brew out in the world. It was probably the most bland nitro cold brew I've had. I'd only ever come back here for the beans, which is actually a pretty good buying experience with the staff offering suggestions and a free drip with purchase. Unfortunately everything else was a big disappointment.

The cruffin was like a cross between a croissant and cinnamon roll, flaky outside but gooey inside. There was still a hint of warmth from the oven. This was my first time at this location but I have been to other JJs before and I always love their baked goods. The matcha latte was a LITTLE powdery but alright. I've also experienced that the matcha latte at the UBC JJ Bean usually isn't prepared properly (as of probably 2022 which is the last time I got matcha there) and figured it was just a location thing but now I'm wondering if it's just something about the franchise. This cafe is a little small but they've arranged it with plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside too. Nice environment, modern but comfortable.
