JJ Bean Coffee Roasters

Excellent coffee shop (good foam on the cappuccino!) with great university-coffee-shop atmosphere. Some outside seating as well as a few nooks upstairs for a chat or a place to sit and work on the computer while having a coffee break.

Had the cortado. It was excellent. Good taste.
Although, tables a bit sticky.

Very cute coffee shop on UBC campus. I was so surprised by all of the different bakery items they had (jalapeño cheddar muffin?!?! I’ve never heard anything like that before!). I ordered a raspberry oatmeal muffin and an iced latte. Coffee and muffin were great, staff were patient and friendly, and the coffee shop was very clean.

The iced matcha latte is so refreshing!

They're always out of most things. The staff are pretty rude and the coffee's usually burnt tasting and their small chai was 7.00, which is crazy.

Every time I come in, whether it's in the morning of afternoon, they're out of several things. It's kind of pointless going now, because they're out of sandwiches, cookies, donuts, etc. It's expensive for a sandwich -- $12-$13 and they've shrunk recently. The coffee is just okay, which is weird considering they've been around so long. Also, the customer service is frustrating. Not sure what's going on there, but I keep getting people who either don't know what's going on or people who are really rude. Anyway, I'd just avoid it and go to a cafe across the street instead.

Delicious baking and beverages. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere with unique sitting upstairs. I visit every time I am in the area.

The matcha is terrible.

The maple pecan cookie is AMAZING

Thanks for having some vegan products!

Great coffee and friendly staff!

I ordered one butter croissant and a medium cup of cappuccinom. The taste is not bad，but the staff provided a smaller croissant than one that showed in the display cabinet. Because I hurried up to go other place, I forgot to take a picture.

Ordered a hot chocolate and matcha and they both practically just tasted like milk. Baristas were very nice though.

JJ bean is great for students needing a coffee and affordable snack. But they really need to learn to up their pars on the most popular items. It's a campus with construction crew everywhere and I often find they are out of the best muffins for example. Any other cafe would make more and set it up for times they are busy (lunch hour/4:00) but not this place. Often sold out of the best buy 11:15. Please consider this and upping your pars- esp on the jalapeno cheddar muffin!

Seems like a good place, all I can really comment on is the banana bread which was terrible.
The croissant was fine, I'm sure the drinks are good too so give it a fair rating. Just avoid the banana bread
