Just Be Coffee Roasters

Best coffee in town, no contest. Everyone is friendly, including the guests.

Stopped here on our way to Michigan and I am glad we did. Coffee was great, atmosphere had chill vibes. The bag of Shift Work we bought is quite the treat to drink every morning.

Let me preface this by saying I hate giving this place such a low rating, but my experience is based on me driving 20 miles to support and try a new roaster. If I was in the neighborhood and wanted to sit down for cafe, I’d probably go with a 5*.

Nice huge warehouse place that serves very inexpensive drinks. A small seating area up front where service is also handled. But I went for beans as they advertise themself as roasters, not a cafe. They have a small selection of single source and blends. And they offer NO green beans for you to take home and roast yourself. They are quite on par price wise with most roasters. With not much deviation. The 12oz bags are $16 for house blends, and $17 for single source. That’s the price no matter which bean you want. But there are a couple of issues I personally have. Nothing major for most people.
1. There’s no option to see the beans. They just tell you the roast (which after seeing a sample, I find to be darker than advertised personally) but you can’t actually see them. Luckily, the fella working there was able to head in the back and grab a few beans so that I can look at their actual roast. Now, I inquired about 2 different beans, but he come back with only a single handful so I’m not sure what I actually looked at. Seeing a roast is huge to me as a roaster and knowing where I want beans from certain regions to be roast wise the visual can help me decided to buy a bean or not.
2. I purchase 2 bags. On my way out after paying and getting in my car, I realized I never checked the date. The road work wouldn’t allow me to leave luckily and this is when I thought about it. So I took a look at the bags for roast dates. I personally like a 1-2 week roast date being sold when I’m AT a roaster or even a coffee bean house. One of the bags were 15 days old. Not too bad. The other bag though was multiple MONTHS old. I believe this to be unacceptable when buying from a roaster. I’d rather save the money and purchase in a grocery store at that point. Called them and he apologized. Went in and they swapped it out. I was told the date was a mistake. Not sure how that happens, but he handed me a new ‘fresh’ bag. But the date on this one was a month old. So. I guess if you’re shopping at a roaster paying the price in hopes that things will be well done, and fresh, you may give them a shot, but with an average roast date close to a month of when you’re buying… I personally go out of my way to support roasters so that I can have freshly roasted beans. And unfortunately, I don’t feel that is what they really look to offer here.

I did buy a snack they all looked great I have yet to taste mine until my fast is over. The environment seems nice. A dog is there. All the patrons seem kind. Employees seem to have good attitudes. The prices for the brewed coffees espresso and even the treats are very nice. So definitely stop in

I absolutely LOVE Just Be! Since discovering them a few months ago, I have been going almost every day. The team here works so hard, and you can taste their dedication in every cup. They put just as much effort into their coffee as they do into their service. Both the coffee and baked goods are excellent. I highly recommend giving them a try. My personal favorite is the Brown Butter Toffee Shaken Espresso. It is amazing! Come and support this small business. They truly know what they are doing. It is by far my most favorite coffee shop yet.

Small place, but the cashier Rob was super nice and accommodating with any questions asked.

So good!

Took the dog out for some fresh air before running some errands. I recently heard about just be coffee, and that dogs were allowed in. We stopped to try it and this place is lovely. I feel like I found a hidden gem. Got an iced latte and it was delicious, And the banana bread I tried was so fresh and tasty. They also sell dog treats. I bought my girl a bag of them and she is loving them. I don’t go out for coffee very often, but I will definitely be visiting here again.

Love going to Just Be in the morning and getting a great cup of coffee!

Love them and all that they do
- this is my daily cup at home and I think the quality of their coffee is excellent
