I'm not a picky coffee drinker, but man... this place makes me want to know more about the craft that is coffee making/brewing. Still fairly a newb to all the Chemex filters and drip coffee craze, but I totally get it. My coffee making process is probably still on caveman level, but I can appreciate good coffee when I get it. Not Just Coffee really lives up to their name in providing a great product - and the line pretty much out the door when I was leaving today proves that if you make something good, people will wait for it.
Really lucked out today and got the very last pop tart pastry... They warmed it up for me and it was pretty much gone in less than 60 seconds. There goes my workout this morning, but man it was so worth it. No wonder these don't stick around the display case for too long. I also saw some folks munching on quiches.... I'm going to put my name on one of those quiches/savory treats my next visit.
The devil is in the details... and for NJC... they have left no details to chance. The space is beautiful at Packard Place. I love the entrance with the old school white hex tiles and the ability to sit and watch people commute into Uptown on Church is a great way to start the day. I'm a big fan of all the wood edged with metal... the large communal table in the center is broken up with some clean angles... great for laying out drawings and materials to collaborate on.
Staff were diligently working behind the counter which contained all their coffee making magic. Everyone was super nice and looked like they were working their butts off.
It will be nice once the Ink & Ivy opens up and there's no longer construction next door. Definitely found a great spot to start the workday or even break it up during the day.
