    I've discovered that the two cities I've been to in Utah (Orem and St George), have some of the best coffee shops out there in the US! We were on our roadtrip home from Yellowstone and stopped through Orem at a Courtyard nearby. I Yelped for a coffeeshop and JJ coffee (or J&J or James & Joan) popped up as the number one choice and it was literally on the other side of the parking lot of our hotel. However, during the early September heat, we opted to drive there instead. This is a college town so you see college kids everywhere. And, the perk is they have one of the best coffee shops for you to check out. This place is very trendy and cute and offer some of the best coffees, matchas, and chai out there! From cortado to lattes to matcha (their coconut ube matcha was so delish), everything was so satisfying. I also had the avocado toast and the turkey panini (which was okay, very strong pesto). The winner for me here was the coffee and the matcha, whether regular or the coconut ube, 50% sweet, was so good. Even much better than other matcha places back in Socal. Highly recommended!

    Nice and clean!

    Cute coffee place by the mall. Walked in and just one other person ahead of me. Girl who took my order was nice. She recommend some of their special lattes all sounded good but didn't want fruity flavored latte. Ordered a vanilla latte iced. It was a good latte. Not to sweet. IMO I ordered a bagel. But that took little longer. After I ordered it got really busy and there was only two girls working, I would say if you are in a rush maybe be super early.I came right before 8am 7:30ish by 7:45. It wasn't busy but a huge rush came on right after.

    Dirty chai latte

    Walking in I loved the vibe immediately. It's so calm and serene I love the way it's decorated. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We had a matcha latte and a snickerdoodle cookie that were both fantastic but I also had a dirty chai that turned out to be a bit lacking and an everything bagel that we didn't particularly enjoy. We will likely be back for another matcha latte next time we come by the mall!

    Spring Avocado Toast

    I came here for the Chai Tea, but I'm a critic of that drink and prefer the Somali version called karak. It wasn't overly sweetened (I ordered 16 oz size). It was nice and enjoyable but kinda boring. I would say the most overpowering flavor is cinnamon with a slight nutmeg or clove aftertaste. Definitely missing something whether thats cardamom or something I don't know or I would make it myself. Overall underwhelming. Next the spring avocado toast looked nice, the bread isn't soggy, and the bread is toasted just enough. The radishes add a nice crisp but are flavorless so the most noticeable flavor is the crumbled cheese. I suggest using the lemon wedge, it adds flavor. I think its also lemon pepper on top. Honestly feels like some value is missing as I paid close to $9 for the toast alone with tax included or $15.29 with the chai included. For that price I should be getting closer to a substantial breakfast. The environment is nice, usually quiet enough to talk with some limited comfy seating inside. They also seem to have wifi and a small laptop bar but I didn't ask for the password. I've been here once before but kinda underwhelmed by the value and the location isn't convenient to come regularly. Will probably try again, but as the location isn't convenient and nothing stood out, maybe not.

    Cappuccino yum yum

    This place is darling. Great cappuccino and avocado toast. Staff was awesome! Great customer relations. Visited 3 times while in Orem

    iced oat milk matcha with sf vanilla and banana bread syrup

    I got an iced oat milk matcha latte with the banana bread syrup and sf vanilla and it is SO GOOD. Best matcha I have ever had. Will definitely be coming back. Service was great. Workers are so nice. Place is so cute. Definitely give this a try

    matcha

    saw this spot on tiktok and had to stop by for the banana bread syrup. i got it in my matcha latte and it was amazing!! the matcha was also great in general, no clumps and actually tasted like matcha (seems to be rare these days).

    Pear Toast

    Great coffee, but also great toast options (that aren't impossible to eat! You know what I mean). Service is always super friendly. The atmosphere is clean, bright and sunny, but I don't always find it comfortable for long stretches of time. But overall one of my favorite coffee spots! Convenient location and parking, too.

    J&J is located in The Orchard at University Place Mall. Several tables inside, with a couple outside to enjoy the warmer mornings. Delicious selection of avocado toast and all the expected coffee/tea choices to compete with the chain shops. These guys don't skimp. One piece of toast is a full meal here. Menu when you walk up is pretty minimal, but they have a large drink menu available. Would recommend getting a better idea of their entire selection online prior.

    This is a good place to study; I love that the place has so much natural lighting, is clean, and spacious which contributes to the overall environment. I usually stay for hours there and get a lot done. In addition, parking is easy to find which is a plus. The avocado toast is yummy and aesthetically pleasing. I also really loved the dishware used. The chai tea latte was good (8/10). Lastly, the staff was really friendly and kind; I shazam the songs played a lot.

    Best recommendation I've gotten in a while. I was shopping at Trader Joe's and talking to the cashier about truly delicious coffee that is enjoyable and they told me about this quaint coffee spot. They described it perfectly. It has been so long since I've had a latte that actually tastes like the beans and not sugary syrup. It reminded me of Kona coffee beans it was so flavorful. The toast was equal beautiful and eye rolling tasty. This is my new favorite place to get coffee. Did I mention they make their own syrups? I'm infatuated!

    5/5 stars! Honestly I had no idea what to expect from this place and I was pleasantly surprised. They have a cute interior and cute neon light (I would have gotten a picture but there were people sitting by it). The drinks are delicious. I got a chai tea latte and my boyfriend got a fresh drip. Both of them were well made. I love that the barista gave me this cute little doodle. We got excited that they carry Corvus coffee.

    This place has good rating and I wanted to check it out for myself, and it lives up to the five stars! Parking was not hard to find and was easy. The staff is super friendly and nice. They recommend some drinks and walked me through all their options. I ordered an iced coffee and they served it to me in a glass cup which I thought was so cool and different ! This place is pretty popular so expect it to be busy. It's a great place to study and has a great vibe! Would totally recommend if you're in the mood to try something new!
