This is a very cute and eclectic cafe - I love the unicorn theme! The staff is also very friendly and the service was fast. We had the Belgian waffle with Oregon berries which was nice and fluffy. The breakfast sandwich was good, although the steamed eggs were a bit too thick. read more

Just lovely people work here. Good drinks, yummy bites, good vibes. Cute kid zone too.

It is exactly that ~ a neighborhood coffee joint with just unicorns. Apparently Bob is a collector of sorts, so find random nicknacks in every crevice. Every crevice. Light bites for breakfast. Just a local spot for Albertans to wake up with a cup of coffee and chat the day away. Restroom just needs a remodel. No Bob sighting. read more

I had an amazing bagel at this spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the friendly staff. They were so welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It's clear they take pride in both the food and the service. A fantastic way to kick off the morning, and I'll definitely be back! Highly recommend! Also look how cute my brother's latte design was?? read more

This place's vibe is so chill and fun! It feels very Portland coffee shop without the hipster over priced coffee. The service is quick and friendly! They charge 4% on cards so cash is definitely recommended. I had a coconut milk latte and my partner had a vanilla almond milk latte and we both loved the flavors! Will be coming back read more

This appears to be one of those places where solo regulars come and sit to take up a table for hours. So far, we haven't arrived at a time when there was a place to sit. Be sure to scope out the seating before ordering at the counter. If we ever get a chance to actually eat there, I'll update the review. read more

A true neighborhood institution. Finally met Bob today. Comfortable for a coffee, some eats, even a beer. Appreciate the Lviv latte with proceeds supporting Ukraine. Exactly what a local coffeehouse should be. read more

Good food, good drinks, good service. Absolutely horrible music that gave me a headache and made me so nauseous I had to leave.

I visited Just Bob and got a matcha latte to go. I love the unicorn decorations. Service was good and I thought it was great that the shop was kid friendly. There's shoofly bakery pastries available along with drinks and brunch food. It was great that I was asked if I wanted my matcha latte sweetened since some places don't specify if they do sweetened it. I got it with vanilla. The matcha was sweet and it was a mild matcha flavor but I still enjoyed it. I look forward to making this coffee shop be one of my regular spots. read more

Love this cafe for the vibe. I like the staff. Neighborhood hang. Coffee, bagels, schmers, pastries, I think they even have granola.

I live nearby, and this lovely cafe and Jet Black are my morning coffee go-to spots. You'll frequently find the kind-hearted Bob himself working behind the counter. I always enjoy our morning greetings! The rest of the team is cut from a similar cloth, and I've never had a bad experience with staff. There are quite a few regulars that have been stopping-by for years. It really feels like a neighborhood gathering spot. Keep on doing your thing, Bob! read more

An Alberta coffee shop with plenty of character! Just Bob is the cutest coffee shop with plenty of unicorn decor and even a playroom in the back corner for your children. They have awesome staff that greeted you as you came in. The place is order and then find a seat and I really enjoyed how they had a variety of seating for you to enjoy the place. Once you place your order they will call you for your drinks but will bring your food to your table. When you're done you clean your own table. As people left we saw the staff clean the table before another group sat down. As for what to get the drinks here are a must try! I thoroughly enjoyed their nutty mocha and chai. Perfect for a cold day since they come out piping hot and have fun latte art. For food I also tried the phylo wrap with the German sausage since you don't usually find that on a menu and it was pretty good. Came with a variety of mustards as well. I believe they are made to order so can be ~15 mins. I also tried the breakfast bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. I think they steam the egg here which was not your typical bagel. Solid toasted bagel that you might need to eat with a fork since some pieces might fall out as your eating it. As I was looking around the space they have art covering the walls as well and seem to have events here too! read more

This cafe is always filled with such sweet vibes. Everyone who I've met who works here is so wonderful, and the cafe customers are the sweetest people ever. "Just Bob" are really doing something so magical here It was an hour bus ride... (I got on the bus around 2) but even for just an hour, it's worth it to soak up the magic (Literally as I'm writing this... I notice a BIG beautiful rainbow full CIRCLE right in the middle of the cafe, and then to make it truly on point with the #Just BobUnicornMagic... "Pink Pony Club" by Chappel Roan starts playing on the speaker!!!) I'm blessed for Just Bob Cafe making my day. read more

THIS is old Portland! Straight outta the '90s with funky small-town (yet very queer-friendly) vibes. Decor is unicorns meets grandma's house meets DIY. A great place to meet a friend from out of town for coffee or a light snack. Feels extremely welcoming. On Sunday mornings, they have some sort of singalong and there's nothing more charming than elderly people singing hippie tunes, amirite?! read more

Serious Food Safety Violations going on here that have been reported to appropriate parties: My husband and I came in and ordered coffees and bagel sandwiches. We sat at the bar and watched our items (&others being made), we also had a view of the back kitchen area from our seats. Guy who took our order handled kiosk , made our coffees, then immediately went to a small cutting board, lined with items that should be refrigerated (eggs, cheese, dairy spreads) but obviously are left out permanently to make sandwiches all day and began making our bagels. No hand washing, no gloves. Note I also have a gluten and egg allergy so many things he did cross contaminate everything here be warned if you have allergies too. He touched everything with his naked hands, including in the back prep area. He then used the cutting board he was cutting bagels on to crack raw eggs into a glass (getting raw egg onto a surface premade/cooked food goes). He went to the espresso machine and used the milk steamer wand to cook the egg in the cup! Then wiped that wand with a used towel and placed a glass of water (I assume it's water) back under the steam wand like they use to clean in btw milk froths (so mixing the egg with the milky water solution to contaminate every other milk frothed beverage with egg the rest of the day!) Absolutely appalling to watch. The raw egg cutting board was never wiped or changed out. I also watched the man touch his clothing, face and a trash can in between making multiple orders-WITHOUT GLOVES. A female employee then came in, set her things done and jumped in to cut, and smear bagels. No gloves! No hand wash from when she entered the building to touching food. She was also seen in the back bared handed-handling produce and assembling food. So in the 40 mins we were there neither employee washed their hands once in between touching money, raw items, themselves, and on to cooked food items. If you go here get a coffee (without frothed milk) and nothing else. I took photos of his non-gloved hands touching food but was too shocked to get a photo of the egg-milk-frother-incident. read more

I highly recommend. Great food, coffee, fun mix of music playing and friendly staff. Love the breakfast sandwiches with steamed egg on a fresh bagel. So many choices on Alberta but this is my go-to when visiting the area. Funky and fun eclectic space...or maybe Bob is just a collector of random things. Love the atmosphere, perfect place to enjoy a coffee while reading a book sitting in the puffy armchairs. Some outdoor seating to soak in the sun on those perfect sunny days and dog friendly with treats for your pup to enjoy. read more

Really nice people and chill vibe. Big fan of the unique art, great community coffee stop.

First off, I'm not a big coffee guy, so this review is 0% about their coffee. They have coffee. When I go to a coffee shop, it's all about the coziness level, if they have comfortable seats to sit and study/work for a while, preferably with some good nooks and crannies (I love crannies). This place definitely fits the bill, and on top of all that, they have beer on tap! Definitely my type of coffee shop. I tried one of their puff pastry wraps as well, the zenner sausage was quite delicious w/ sauerkraut and mustard. read more

How funky, fun, cozy, and magical this place is. I'd love to come back and work in one of the overstuffed armchairs. Friendly staff and clearly a community-oriented, welcoming space. They were busy and understaffed when I stopped by today, and I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't order prepared food. The plates I saw coming out of the kitchen - scrambles and waffles - looked tasty though! read more

Simple and native ambience and the breakfast options are excellent. I ate veggie bagel. That was awesome. Simple but tasty.

The owner's name is Bob. Not Robert. Just Bob. And he's put together the best staff in the city, also serving up the best bagel in the city (Spielman). A friend called this a "very 90s Portland coffee shop." And that's a huge compliment. It's comfortable. It's funky. It's friendly. Come for a quick cup to go or stick around and enjoy the atmosphere with me (I'm a regular and I'm not sure why I haven't left a review until now!). Lots of indoor seating, a covered patio, and even a five-seat bar (where you can get wine, beer on tap, and a couple signature cocktails, if that's your thing). I could say more, but my kids are calling me over to the play area (oh right! There's that, too. Can you believe all of these things coincide in harmony at one coffee shop? You really have to see it to believe it.) read more

I'm sad I didn't find out about Just Bob sooner! This is a fun, funky Portland coffee shop that definitely has a neighborhood feel and seems to be frequented by locals. There classic hip Portland-y coffee shops in this part of Portland, but I think Just Bob stands on its own and has the least curated feel compared to its neighbors (and I mean this in the best way). The breakfast items are fantastic and also very affordable. They have breakfast sandwiches, bagels and pastries among lots of other options. The coffee is great, too, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Be sure to check them out next time you're in Alberta! read more

Unexpectedly a great breakfast place! Service was quick and timely and the spot was home-y and very cozy casual. I love that they have two selections of bagels and all of their cream cheese are to die for. Don't skip out on getting a latte- some of the best we've had! read more

This review is from a visit 5 months ago. The space continues to pop up in my memories because I found if to be so warm and inviting. I had breakfast on an early Saturday morning as a walk from my friends place. I was grieving a father-figure who had recently passed, also named Bob, when I saw this sign. I had to go in. The coffee was delicious, which is a statement that is rarely uttered stateside by me, as I generally find modern coffee too bitter. I found a comfy spot to eat near the window and people-watch for a spell. If you're in the neighborhood, it's certainly worth popping in. read more

Popped in 9:15am Sunday morning and walked right up to the counter to order. Friendly person behind the counter commented positively on my face mask, which only musicians would recognize. Made a decent cortado and I sat alone in the window drinking it when my food arrived looking tasty. The green eggs and ham are just right for one person. The bagel was delicious and toasted perfectly. Cost of the meal was a great value. I'd certainly come back. read more

The wait staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We celebrated Father's Day there, and the veggie egg scramble with toast and jam was delicious. I ordered hash browns with mine which were golden brown and crispy. We all had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this friendly, casual breakfast cafe! read more

Very family friendly. My daughter who is potty training had an accident in the play area and the staff was so kind and helpful getting the mess cleaned up and even gave my daughter unicorn stickers!

I didn't actually walk into this coffee shop (my fiancé purchased my coffee for me while I was down the street ) but I ordered the Nutty (hazelnut) Mocha and it was fantastic!! I typically like to drink caramel macchiatos but that wasn't on the menu, so I decided to give this specialty coffee a chance. If you like hazelnut, it's definitely worth it! If we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back. read more

Took a bite and realized I never got a picture so excuse the bite on our foods lol. The Oregon smoothie was fantastic. Not too sweet or bitter. It went well with our sandwiches. I got the croissant sand-which with salmon, cream cheese, and red onions. It burnt at the ends which ruined the bread but the amazing flavor made it way better. Would come back here again when visiting. read more

They had great options for our family of 5 (two adults and three kids). We were traveling and wanted a quick breakfast but more substantial than a McDonald's sandwich. We ordered the egg and croissant sandwich, a sausage breakfast bagel sandwich, two Belgian waffles and a kids Mac and cheese. Everything tasted great and came out pretty quick! And I definitely feel full enough to make it quite a way into our 6 hour drive home. The service was fast and kind, and one of the employees remembered my voice from calling to check the wait time and chatted with us about our travels and our visit. It was really sweet and just made me feel cared about. The ambiance was funky and cool, unicorns are our youngest jam right now so she loved it. There was small kids play area too which was great. I would love to come by again and try the bbp! We just didn't have enough time on this trip :) 10/10 would recommend read more

The vibe is perfect, retro and fun. The coffee is fantastic. They have a cute little kids area (closed for covid) They have vegan food The staff like I said was super nice Everything was really covid safe, (clean pens, clean blankets, clean spoons, even clean blankets if you were cold with doors open) I ended up hanging out here a couple times on my trip cause I dug it so! read more

I've been coming to Just Bob for a while, but I felt pulled to add a review after visiting them during Covid times to share what precautions they are taking. Very impressed and glad they are open. Overall: walk in, wait to be called to the register, and order with your mask on. They have hand sanitizer, a rag with bleach for extra hand cleaning, separate and clearly labelled dirty and clean pens. Need to ask for water be as it is not accessible to patrons. Free WiFi. Usually gentle oldies playing. During eat-in times: chairs were distanced and each station has dedicated outlets and dining or side tables. They are leaving the door open to allow for circulation I assume. Outdoor seating: they've had a few rickety wire bistro tables and chairs out front for forever, but they have added an entire seating section on the side of the building. There's a combo of picnic benches and dining tables, some covered with umbrellas and some not, and some are part of one of those new-fangled eating hut-things. There are not outside heaters, but they have a few blankets inside--also clearly marked used or clean--to take outside if it is chilly. There is a power strip outside for their patio lights and a barista told me to go ahead and plug in if I wanted. Dogs allowed outside! Food and drink: pretty typical cafe fare; coffees, teas, smoothies, scrambles, sandos, and bagels with shmear. Most servings are good portions with the exception of the scrambles. read more
