J&B Coffee

First of parking is bad. Second parking is bad.

That said the coffee is alright. It is everything you think about from an local owned and operated coffee shop.

They have a large variety in types of coffee but that is mostly adding syrups to different coffee styles. Which is not a bad thing. The coffee I had was delicious.

My main concern was that even on a lazy weekend seating was scarce and the wait was long.

I couldn't tell you about the staff because the interaction was so fast and disconnected. But the place was clean and the drink was hot so I will say it was okay.

Great little coffee shop. Good food, brews, and environment!

Most helpful and greatest variety of the best coffees in Lubbock. We are new to craft coffee brewing & drinking , so I was looking for some advice and to get pointed in the right direction. I stopped in their shop and they took about 20 minutes explaining the different roast and origins of their coffees . This is the only shop in Lubbock where I could buy as little as 1/4 pound at a time. They also offered to grind it appropriately for the style of coffee maker we had. My wife enjoys a nice light roast without any bitterness so they recommended 4 different coffees for us to try. It is great to be able to get some solid recommendations from experienced barista's and not have to buy a pound not knowing if you are going to like it or not. If you like to try some new coffee , they make it easy.

A wonderful atmosphere but wish there was a little more effort on speed and efficiency making orders. If you need your drink made in less than 10 minutes on a quiet morning with no line, this is not the stop.

So me and my bride went to this coffee shop for the first time visit there are things we look for in trying a newly discovered shops especially coffee what we look for:

Presentation

Cleanliness

Atmospheric vibes

And over work ethic

All in which I believe are vital to keeping a business going.

So there were just a few little details that I saw were missed.
So what we tried was the White chocolate mocha to start and i also went with a separate drink a 4 shot espresso with Half and half.

So the white mocha.

I can usually tell when there’s dark or medium roast used in white mocha just because of this distinct taste in bitterness with a dark roast
You have more of an earthy smoky flavor at first then finishing off with a Slightly sharp/better aftertaste
The medium roast is complete opposite and mild and subtle tasting normally what I’ve seen doesn’t mix well if it’s not done right
Or the sweetness of your drink cancels out the flavor of the coffee
But that was NOT the case in this white Moche
The flavor was perfectly balanced mild sweetnesses it was not under sweets nor was it overly sweet I will say I was very impressed with this white mocha trying it for the first time in a new coffee shop that I’ve never been to before and the drink came out hot a hot coffee drink is supposed to come out hot and the fact that I could barely hold onto the cup that’s just how I like it there was also no mocha buildup at the bottom of the cup because of improper mixture
Everything was mixed vary well and I do recommend this drink.

So the 4 shot with half and half

Was not impressed. I don’t believe personally that medium roast should be used an espresso form but that’s my personal preference everybody has their own unique taste I personally think medium roast should be used in flavored mixed drinks or as a cold brew but again that’s my personal preference everybody has their own unique taste

So the reason why I didn’t like it is because of the drink was cold when It was ordered hot how ever when I ordered the half-and-half I forgot to ask if they could steam the half-and-half so In a way this is kind of my fault but barista’s normally will ask you if you would like it stemmed but this barista did not that’s one of the small details that was missed which caused the drink to become cold unfortunately

But the overall presentation was very nice the atmosphere was very inviting the rustic vibe and a cozy seating area The floor and the tables were clean and free of used cups and debris and watching the employees for the most part everybody seemed to enjoy their job and they were friendly to the customers so I will definitely be coming back and getting the white mocha again they also serve tea which I didn’t have a chance to try. I do recommend this coffee shop

The place was popping, the ambience was good, and drink/food was delicious. Perfect place for a good Sunday morning.

They are serious about keeping you safe in the pandemic and the drinks were outstanding. The mayan mocha was so good!! Unfortunately no matcha drinks.

Tasty breakfast sandwiches and iced lattes at great prices. Service was great

Totally recommend. First time I came, I did have to wait about 30 minutes for my food, but that was because it was the girls first day, and they gave me a free coffee card for my next visit (super kind!). Came back the next day, got my food immediately and it’s delicious! Coffee is great too. Great atmosphere in the back for studying

I studied here sooooo much, coffee is not as expensive as some of the other places in town with worse vibes, my favorite part was always studying there for several hours and then leaving with my jacket or sweater smelling like coffee grounds :) (Food is also good!)
