Description

With a roasting legacy spanning four generations of the Neate family, JJ Bean Coffee Roasters has become an essential part of the Commercial Drive community since its establishment in 1996.

The "JJ Commercial" location is particularly special, as it originally merged with the historic Torrefazione Coloiera—one of Vancouver’s first Italian specialty roasters. This unique blend of heritage and "folk Lebanese" hospitality is reflected in the cafe's eclectic, cozy design, which features vintage batch roasters right on the floor to provide guests with an immersive, grassroots coffee experience.

Staying true to the principle that "the best taste wins," JJ Bean serves high-quality green coffee roasted in small batches daily to ensure peak freshness.

Beyond their signature espresso blends and seasonal single-origin coffees, the cafe is famous for its in-house bakery program, where ovens start early each morning to produce their legendary muffins and almond croissants. Whether you are relaxing on the hidden patio or warming up in their stylish, art-filled interior, JJ Bean remains a vibrant hub for the creative and cultured spirit of East Vancouver.
