| - There are only a few breakfast places in downtown Phoenix so when people talk about breakfast/brunch I think they tend to want to believe that the places down here are acceptable. I am wise to the game though, I understand that it is out of necessity that people support these places because otherwise, what are we gonna do? Not eat breakfast? This is not an option obviously.
JoBot does a lot of things, each time I walk by there is something different going on and this is great. It should be no surprise that you will probably experience hipster-service here (blaring rap music inside at 8am, cold looks of disdian etc...). It is a universal fact that the coffee is terrible (before you attempt to refute this, walk down Roosevelt and take a random poll, I guarantee that 9/10 people will agree) It is almost the mantra of JoBot. I remember years ago stepping in here for a shot of espresso after a first-friday and being so underwhelmed that I didn't return for 4 years.
Recently I walked over to eat breakfast here, I paid 13$ for 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 1 pancake and 1 glass of orange juice. It was OK, nothing special, I felt really let-down. I'm definitely open to spending some more time and money as it is a nice little place in the neighborhood but I will never eat breakfast here again.
