    Bacon egg and cheese
    Caroline H.

    Great vibes here with lots of natural sunlight and it's spacious for a remote work day. Friendly and fast service. Must try the lox toast - would get again. The bacon egg and cheese was good but portions are on the smaller side so good for breakfast or a light lunch! Will go back.

    Avocado toast with egg and bagel sandwich
    Elizabeth W.

    Love this spot! Great coffee and menu items. Extremely kind servers. Fun specials and good atmosphere to work.

    What's not to love about NJC. This location is awesome. So much to do and ample parking. Coffee AMD wine: beer selection. Service is always fantastic. They also have jazz nights on certain Friday nights! Super chill and vibes are awesome.

    Iced Americano with mocha syrup
    Denawa A.

    Needed a nice co-working place today and stopped by Not Just Coffee after being recommended. The space is really big and has a couple different options for seating both inside and outside. It didn't feel like people were on top of each other at all. Tried their iced americano, with the house made mocha syrup and it was so good!

    Mango Matcha Spritzer & Avocado Toast
    Jasmine D.

    It was a really nice coffee shop with the right amount of people so not too busy but active. They opened the side door for a bit. I sat outside which was nice and clean and then moved inside I had the avocado toast with the pine nut sauce. It was good but if it had some balsamic glaze I think it would be amazing! Otherwise the drinks were flavorful and coffee was good. I had an iced latte first and then the mango matcha. It was just a little more spritzy than I expected like champagne lol I'm glad I tried something new and really enjoyed by day there Also it's street parking only. The spaces in the back look like you could be towed so be careful to park on the street instead.

    Exterior when nice would be a great option!

    What a super cute industrial bohemian vintage looking coffee shop. I needed to waste time while waiting a family flight to arrive and stumbled on this place. I love a good coffee shop! The offer coffee of course and wine and teas as well plus an assortment of pastries and Sammie's! It's in a building with other small businesses and the Hygge co-work space! There's a nice young lady with an onsite fresh flower arrangement booth as well! The place is busy and bustling with social activities; remote workers wanting a diff set of walls and deals being made between businesses! Whoever manages the plant life in here KUDOS to you! Definitely worth a trip here!

    Salmon Toast
    Marharyta K.

    The the most spacious and comfy NJC location. Coffee is wonderful and seasonal drinks are always there to impress with perfectly crafted house-made syrups. They have a few simple breakfast/lunch options like avocado or salmon toast or breakfast sandwich which with a few modifications can become super tasty. So what I would suggest is to change toast bread for a bagel - they are super fresh, deliciously chewy and massive. For a salmon toast I'd recommend to double the salmon for just +$2 and definitely add a couple of eggs to your avocado toast.

    Avocado BLT
    LaToria L.

    I love coming here for my WFH days . I bring my puppy and she enjoys people watch and sunbathing lol . The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I had the avocado BLT and man was it delicious. And I washed it down with a matcha lemonade. It was refreshing and gave me a nice energy boost .The restaurant is an indoor outdoor venue so if you sit inside you will still feel the outdoor vibe. It's artsy and vibrant.

    BLTA
    Maribel R.

    BLTA add cheese onions lettuce (sometimes no tomato) add a drizzle (tiny amount) of spiced honey to the inside of the sandwich Perfection! Staff is great and friendly, music and everything else here is good. Iced coffee is amazing!

    Crystal M.

    Really enjoyed this space because it is very open and big compared to there other locations and parking is easy. I love the lattes and avocado toast and almost always get those two items. I do feel the avocado toast was better at this location than park road.

    Jessica R.

    Large coffee shop, plenty of seating inside and out. Connected to a co working space.

    Lox Toast
    Leslie H.

    Met for lunch here today. I had the Lox Toast. It was very tasty. It's a combination of wheat toast / cream cheese smear / smoked salmon* / capers dill lemon. It was very good...prepared just right! The service was quick and the ambiance is chic and trendy. It's a spacious place, somewhat loud.

    Caramel Maciatto with extra caramel (Latte Style)
    Kamilia L.

    What a cute and quaint space. Make sure you look at the menu and get specific. The staff can be new. Ask the Caramel Macciatto to be made like a latte to have the American experience vs. traditional.

If you're unfamiliar with the area, as I was, it's hard to find, but it's definitely a hidden gem. It's located within a beautiful brick shopping area, surrounded by other places to eat & shop, but it's in a cove area which leads to a courtyard. Again, hidden gem. It's so cute & cozy. There are 2 tables inside, and a few outside, which would be perfect on a nice day. The service is great, seems to a family run business. Everything looks soooooo delicious, it was very hard to decide. I narrowed it down to a small Lobster Tail pastry, which is essentially a deliciously stuffed croissant with Italian sweet cream (my guess) with a strawberry on top. It was the best pastry I've had in a long time. I also ordered the carrot cake, which is a favorite of mine, and it was good, not the best ever, but it's ok, the Lobster Tail made everything ok. Lastly, I had the Biscoff Latte. As you know, you'll see either a Biscoff or a Cookie Butter Latte everywhere you go these days. This was my third go at a variation & maybe my favorite. They have tons of yummy pastries and a great selection of cakes. I'll definitely be back.
