Extremely disheartened to leave a one-star review as this place has become one of our go-to's since moving to Milwaukie and we were regulars; but over the past couple weeks our orders have been consistently incorrect and just plain inedible. The quality of service has significantly degraded in such a short amount of time. Don't know if it's all the sudden new hires or what, but the drinks have been just gross. You order a Rockstar and get anything but (i.e. Red Bull instead, which is cheaper to order, I should mention; so you get slighted as well). Or if you do get the right base for your drink, the cup is just full of syrup and practically no energy drink. Our past few beverages have gone down the drain because they were not drinkable. It really sucks because we loved going here and wanted to support a small, local business versus places like Dutch Bros or Starbucks; but at this point at least we'd know what we're getting for our money, elsewhere. :(

I have been a faithful customer of Jerrick’s first BJ coffee since she first opened. I was very happy to know she had a coffee shop in my neighborhood.
But, I’m finding through the years since she has expanded, it’s not as personal for me. I understand she has new barista’s, new menu & new hours but I’m not feeling the love anymore.
The pro’s:
Jerrick’s chai tea is extremely good!
Most of the time my coffee’s are good.
Her prices are comparable to other coffee kiosks.
Barista’s are friendly
Service is reasonable
The con’s:
Why no price’s on the menu board?
The hours of being open are absolutely horrible. I never understood why close early/mid afternoon during rush hour? I understand it’s because of winter hours. You’d think she’d be open longer because it’s cold.
There’s been more times I look forward to a coffee in the afternoon & they’re closed.
I don’t care for the computer system, especially being asked if I want to leave a tip, that really puts me in an awkward situation even though I have always left a tip.
I’m also unable to buy gift cards anymore.
She hires barista’s that are very new at making coffee, my last one was tasteless, had absolutely no flavoring I could detect. I threw it away.
I have finally figured out how to get a hot coffee-I have to specify the degree I want, otherwise it’s luke warm.
So, Jerrick, I have given you my business for years now but back to BlackRock I go in Gladstone, they make the most awesome coffees that are flavorful, hot & they never ask for a tip. Plus they’re open in the evenings.
I’ve always been an advocate of supporting our local businesses but BJ coffee has changed & no longer my go-to coffee kiosk.
Such a shame.

I ♥️ BJ's! Consistently the best service and drinks & treats. I only mark down on atmosphere because there isn't really unless you're hanging outside in the summertime...✋guilty.

Darci helped me out today and she was fantastic. I asked for a drink that wasn't on the menu and I felt so bad about that. She went OUT OF HER WAY TO CALL HER BOSS TO GET ME MY COFFEE. I am so grateful she went through the effort to get me what I wanted, even though I told her to make me whatever is easiest. Love love love this place. The Gladstone location is so easy and convenient. I 💙blue jays

“Stopped in today at the gladstone location and tried a blonde mocha. The staff was friendly and the price was good, but unfortunately the drink tasted a bit sour and had a chemical aftertaste, not like other blonde espresso drinks I’ve had. Might’ve been the beans or how it was pulled. I really wanted to like this place, but the drink didn’t sit well with me. Hopefully it was just an off day, because the service was great

A sweet little spot that takes you by surprise! A great drive through coffee option that offers locally sourced bagels, beans, and other goods. It’s a small business working to support other small business, while working to create community with their “Free donut Fridays” and other small tokens of gratitude like a chocolate covered coffee bean. Tyra was working when I drove through with my pup, and her cheery spirit, kindness and service really turned our day around. I only ordered a mocha, but will be a happy returning customer!

Horrible customer service I've been standing here for 5 minutes and haven't even been helped yet he's looked at me several times and haven't even acknowledge me

One of my absolute favorite places to get coffee. The only thing I would recommend is bringing your own straw. I really appreciate them going to straws that will help the turtles but, unfortunately they aren’t strong enough to enjoy the wonderful drink.
