I had the most pleasant experience at JJ bean. Ethan was extremely friendly and helpful as I’m visiting from out of town not only did he make the best coffee- he pointed me in the direction of things to do in the city.
His kindness went a long way and I ended up having the best day thanks to Ethan! Best coffee ever aswell.
Please stop in this location and say a friendly hello to Ethan and the other staff.
Btw the breakfast bagel was to die for.

Just for a simple large coffee… and it asks for a tip on top. Shame.

Consistently good and very friendly service. Lots of seating options - couches, counter and low tops. The coffee is excellent. Pastries and sandwiches are delicious and fresh.
Nice place to sit and enjoy a coffee or take it to go while strolling the sea wall.
They recently added donuts which are dangerously delicious!

This would be my favorite coffeeshop in Olympic Village, except for how freezing cold it is at all times of year. No matter where I sit (couches, tables, etc), I always feel like I’m sitting directly under a fan or AC unit. Even in the dead of winter. I often have to bring multiple layers just to work comfortably then end up giving up and going home. If this issue was fixed, I’d be here working every day. Otherwise, I really like the coffee and the food is pretty good too.

Had a Cajun Chicken Sandwich and a Mocha. Kept it away for a while and it went cold, upon asking to reheat Jera offered me to make a new one. Amazing Service along with the mocha :D Thanks a lot Jera!

Just left this location (23/09/24 @ 6:20pm) where i ordered a 16 oz mocha to go.This (caucasian/white) brunette woman wearing a black fleece half-zip jacket didn’t even acknowledge me when i went up to the register, just pursed her lips like i was an inconvenience.. i told her the order, it was literally one item. All i asked was to get whipped cream on top. Well the (not the same woman) barista makes it without the whipped cream & when i tell her about it, she rectifies the error but now the drink is overflowing & its messy. I love JJ Bean & come to this location regularly but paying $7 for a cup of coffee is made all the more worse when staff are dismissive & rude, especially to the point of messing up the drinks. Ruins the experience.

Can I please give 11 stars for good luck?

I live in the building 1708 Columbia Street, so I live just above JJ Bean. This entire community has been blessed to have such a well run coffee shop. They over do everything and give everybody VIP service no matter who you are!

Story time:

I come here every morning for the last 14 years for a cup of Matcha Soy Latte. They have the best in town btw, don't even bother trying another anywhere else. One randon given morning, I held up the dragon long line of people waiting for their crack I mean coffee. Not one, but ALL of my cards were DECLINED. I was so embarassed and I was stressing because I'm the one causing the hold up. Guess what, one kind soul offered to buy me my $6 drink!!!!??!?!! I was so grateful that I bought at $200 gift card and asked Kenny Leon to spend $111 on the next customers in the store for the their wild crazy rushes all day everyday. This place is bumpin in the morning. It's like youre 19 again and first time going to the club.

Lets jsut say, I'm your most loyal puppy dog, JJ bean. Long live JJ Bean! Please allow me the privilege and honor to bless this business with my peasant life. LOL Ale just helped me spell privilege becuase I didnt know there was no D in privilege. They also recognized my red SuperSoaker that I go to waterfights with today! Blessed to meet you.

I had a great experience here despite the ongoing construction out front, which made it a bit challenging to find. The coffee was excellent, and the relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect spot to unwind. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely return for more good coffee!

Everyone loves the muffins. Outlets are under the metal bar table with stools where they make drinks.
