I’ve been to this JJ Bean location a couple of times and have had a chance to sample their muffin, cookie, and croissants. Overall, I’m quite impressed by their baked offerings.Very Berry Muffin (around $3): 4/5; The muffin was large, probably 1.5-2x the size of regular muffins. It was overfilled with juicy berries. I did find it to be a bit doughy in some parts and I would have preferred for it to be a bit sweeter, but thats probably just because I love sugar and have a high tolerance for sweets.Double Chocolate Browne Cookie (around $3): 4/5; Although not as big as the muffin, it was still quite substantial in size. I really liked the texture: crispy on the edges with a softer interior. There were a nice amount of chocolate chunks. I just would have liked there to be a bit more chocolate flavour however.Butter Croissant (I want to say $3.50): 4/5Ham & Cheese Turnover (I want to say $4.50ish): 4.5/5 Both the croissant the the turnover were flaky, fresh and buttery, and just as good as those from higher end patisseries.The quality and taste of their food alone is enough for me to return. Add that to the fact that their cookies and muffins have great value for their size, and you’ve got a real winner. I’m just so glad that they are apparently setting up a new location at UBC (where I’m currently studying).
You’d think that the lack of the WiFi in this place would dispel the crowds, but nope, unlike other coffee shops, people actually come here for the coffee. This JJ is definitely among the busier of the coffee houses in town, simply because everything is perfect. The muffins are delicious and cookies are a favourite. Not to mention the ambiance is very warm and inviting.
Great service and food/drink. But this location is in need of a major reno! There is never anywhere to sit. The outside tables are often filled with non-customers, and staff don’t police this. The washrooms are consistently some of the dirtiest I’ve ever seen on the drive. Think you need some more staff and more space at this location JJ Bean!
Great spot for a quick lunch or snack! Their chicken wraps grilled with sour cream are unreal, Unfortunately they only serve it with salsa now which is still good but just not the same.. Better just on its own I think. And the cinnamon buns with cream cheese icing are one of my favourites. Actually it’s my go to for a good cinnamon bun but they sell out by noon usually so if you want one come early 🙂
Awesome Americano’s and a very friendly staff! Only negative is JJ Bean is usually busy all the time. Other than that, it’s a great place for me to catch up with a friend or two and to get some work done.
