Jo’s Coffee Bar

Service is good and their coffee is very foamy, the baristas know their business… keep it up Joe!

I ordered an extra foamy vanilla latte and I have to say it was one of the best lattes I have had in a very long time! The Barista made the best foam I have had! I can’t wait to go back and have another!

Stayed in Lacey for a couple days and this place was a nice spot to have a morning coffee and breakfast sandwich or burrito. The coffee is great and the customer service is outstanding, making you feel welcome. The atmosphere is very modern and comfortable and they have free wifi which is a must in my book. They also have drive-​thru!

Moved to this end of town, recently. Was very glad to find Jo’s here — north (not south) of the freeway.
Very good coffee, in addition to extremely pleasant and helpful staff.
Use it to meet with others for informal appointments. Safe and low-​key.
Non-​coffee comment:
To that end (meeting w/​others), wouldn’t mind if they had a bit more art, tapestry, or, other, on the walls, to help with the acoustics. If it did have that, would look to meet with others (more people than just one) there, more often.
Regardless, sure glad it’s there: Well-​removed from the hectic Marvin Rd. area, south of I-​5.

they have good coffee, nice place, big chairs

Coffee itself is pretty good but not a fan of their chocolate/​white chocolate they use in their mochas. Went in on a Sunday morning. There was only one person working to serve the drive-​thur and café. Took 15 minutes to get our coffee. The lady was friendly and apologized. Nice place but they need to work on customer service. Nobody wants to wait 15 minutes to be served.

My husband and I drive across town to sip coffee and read. One of the few places to relax and chat or catch up on some reading. The coffee is very good here! Just wish they had more food offerings including gluten free items

I give them 5 stars because their coffee is amazingly smooth and they their service is on point! The inside is always clean and perfect for mommy dates :) I can always count on their hot latte to have extra creamy foam (which is my fave!) I agree with some of the other reviews that they may be a bit dry in their personalities, but they are not rude and offer great service. However, I do prefer Jo’s customer service, rather than some super happy jumpy fake person that just drank a red bull ;) Perfect location– great coffee – plus a drive thru… makes it easy to be a regular at Jo’s.

I’m a coffee snob (worked in coffee shops for years) and this place gets high praise from me. My husband & I go daily!
Coffee:
NEVER bitter. Great espresso! Best in the area.
More flavor options than most
Milk is local & organic
They get my high-​maintenance order right every time!
I’ve noticed no price difference between them and cutters point– where I quit going after I found this place. (Organic milk for the same price?! Yes please!)
Drive thru:
Lightning fast
Unlike my old stomps (cutters) — I’ve never been in line at this drive thru for over 5 mins. This is my go-​to before work daily because I know the wait won’t make me late.
Food:
Standard fare
Our favorite is the ham breakfast burrito
Staff:
We know them by name now!
They know us by name now!
They’ve memorized our (high-​maintenance) order
Not «in your face fake-​friendly» at 6 am (thank God)
Not cold or inattentive
Nice, normal people that we miss when we’re on vacation
As a daily customer, my order has been right 99% of the time. The «new girls» caught on quickly & we cut them some slack.
Seal of approval for these guys! So glad they shook up the Lacey coffee scene!

I have tried this place many times as it is close to my house. I was so excited it was opening and now simply drive by. Not only does my usual coffee cost $ 1.00 more than every other coffee place I go, but they are unfriendly! I have come to expected a friendly face and cheerful greeting when you go to almost any coffee place, but Jo’s takes the cake for most unfriendly.

I went trough the drive through about 10am on a Saturday, quick service and the barista was polite and appreciative. My iced Americano was really good!!!

This shop is so cute and has so much potential but the baristas are so cold that I don’t see myself coming back. No one welcomes you when you come in or anything. I asked what was good and all I got back was everything with a blank stare. First time ever coming in and will be my last.

I work at Starbucks, yet this is still my favorite place to get coffee! The baristas are not in your face chatty which is nice, it makes for a very relaxing atmosphere. I love this place and will for sure be coming back for the delicious lattes!

One of the best hazelnut lattes I have ever had! This is definitely my go to place when I’m in this area.

Great local coffee joint. The owner is very friendly. It’s a little slow here, but I hope that’ll change. It’s always nice to see a small business succeed.

The coffee and service is wonderful and the milk and coffee they use is organic and local. This is a great place to bring family and hang out or use the convenient drive through in the rainy weather. I haven’t had coffee of this quality anywhere else in the area. I highly recommend this place!

They have long drive through lines in the morning. My chocolate croissant tasted like paper. They buy it from Safeway and charge you $ 3.00 for the thing even though a box of 12 cost $ 5.00 at Safeway. I think the drinks are just ok too.

We have gone here about 5 times, and the coffee was great. And when the order is right their coffee is DELICIOUS! But today our order was 2 everything bagels, a white mocha and a pumpkin pie latte. The pumpkin pie had nothing but coffee and steamed milk in it. No flavoring. One of our bagels was untoasted. Just really messed up the whole order. Made us sad cause they’ve been soooo good every other time :/​we’ll call it a fluke and keep going :) here’s hoping it was!

Nice atmosphere, good selections, excellent service, nice drive through and a quality drink. Try it, you’ll like it.

We were impressed with the atmosphere and the comfortable furniture. We thought it was decorated really well. We saw a guy and a little boy come in, the little boy was fascinated with the fireplace. Not long later a woman and 3 kids came in, after ordering the little girls came over to put their hands in the fire. There is no heat, it is just cool to look at. They have a decent size conference room with a large table, I didn’t count the chairs but it must have had 10 chairs in there and still seemed roomy. The coffee was smooth, not bitter like some of the other places in town. They use the good Ghirardelli chocolate.
