The best coffee beans from a fantastic coffee company! James Coffee Co.

Always delicious!

I’ve been searching for a smooth, great tasting coffee forever and this is the first one that truly checks every box. I’ve tried local roasters and even ordered from out of state but they all had that bitter aftertaste I just couldn’t get past. This blend is incredibly smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced..no bitterness at all! It’s so easy to drink and honestly makes my mornings that much better. You can really taste the quality. This is officially my go-to coffee now. Highly, highly recommend! Cheers from Jersey☕️

Amazing coffee as always. Been over 10 years but was finally able to get over to San Diego and check our the shops in person again. Little Italy shop was still under construction but the other locations were great and the coffee was bar none best ive had anywhere. They make a mean Cortado!!

Bob A. 5/5 Verified January 26, 2026

So good!

Jonathan D. 5/5 Verified January 6, 2026

The best blend! Have been ordering this for years, highly recommended!

Amazing quality and taste. 10/10 for our family. Love the 5lbs whole bean bag!

Bob A. 5/5 Verified November 6, 2025

I wish I could send the aroma along with this review!

Donna S. 5/5 Verified October 8, 2025

This has become my new daily espresso bean. Today I tried using it in my chemex and it was delightful! I want to try other bean flavors but I enjoy this one so much I keep ordering it. Give it a brew!

Jason S. 5/5 Verified September 26, 2025

Found out about James coffee when walking by their storefront in San Diego, the fragrance of their superb roast made me stop in my tracks. Their shop blend is my go to for at home espresso! The notes are so strong and accurately identified with strong nuttiness.

Kyle S. 5/5 Verified September 4, 2025

Shop Blend and books. The best combination on Sunday morning.

Sally C. 5/5 Verified August 24, 2025

Best coffee — I don’t stop at shops anymore, I brew my cup at home and take it with me!

Donna S. 5/5 Verified July 31, 2025

I love this shop blend! I've been a fan of James Coffee for about five years now, ever since I visited them in San Diego while living in LA. It’s tough to make the trip, but I’m always happy to have their blend shipped to me monthly. It’s such a great and versatile choice for every day. I recommend it to pretty much everyone who enjoys a traditional coffee profile with a touch of modern flavors.

Jason S. 5/5 Verified July 2, 2025

First time ordering. Great experience, very smooth consistent. Lots of positive comments from friends and family.

Ryan P. 5/5 Verified May 4, 2025

I’ve found my favorite coffee!!

Donna S. 5/5 Verified April 18, 2025

It is the only coffee we buy! The taste is smooth and just strong enough to get us going.

Tammy M. 5/5 Verified April 14, 2025

I first tasted your coffee at my daughter’s house in San Diego, OMG so good, even without sugar just oat milk. My daughter’s boyfriend gave me a bag for Christmas since then I’ve bought several bags since then.

Rebecca K. 5/5 Verified March 21, 2025

We are not comfortable unless the cabinet is well stocked with our favorite coffee!

Tammy M. 5/5 Verified February 11, 2025

Recently found James Coffee Co and I am hooked! Solid coffee! I never wanted to run out so I subscribed, it’s THAT good.

Shannelle C. 5/5 Verified December 15, 2024

The Shop Blend & White Owl are 2 of my favorites coffees period. I’ve been experimenting with grind size and brew methods. I’ve found that they are both great pour over coffees as well as ridiculously good at making delicious, fat pots of coffee. Spot on taste descriptions on the bags.

Jonathan R. 5/5 Verified November 3, 2024

The shop blend is the staple Coffee in our home, always fresh and delivered quickly. There are not many coffee brands that can be consistent with roasting and provide a quality bean without being overly priced. I recommend James to anyone looking for a great coffee for your morning cup.

Robert H. 5/5 Verified October 30, 2024

My work week go to coffee blend for optimal flavor.

Rosalio C. 5/5 Verified October 12, 2024

Solid coffee. I like that it can be bought in bulk.

Daniel R. 4/5 Verified October 6, 2024

Tastes great! Next time I’ll be sure to get the cold brew grind

Jacob T. 5/5 Verified September 25, 2024

Doesn’t beat this for a killer morning cup. The night owl is also wonderful through the espresso machine or a moka pot. 10/10.

Mike B. 5/5 Verified September 22, 2024

Love the shop blend for our everyday drinking. Works perfectly when finely ground for the stovetop Bialetti maker. We travel to San Diego and found James coffee via google reviews - we live in Boston, and only drink espresso!

Michelle C. 5/5 Verified September 15, 2024

GORGEOUS smell, and it’s a blend that satisfies both the medium coffee roast drinker, and the dark. Found a home favorite here, can’t wait to try the rest!

Karina L. 5/5 Verified September 9, 2024

This is definitely our favorite blend! Perfect for your morning cup or two

Lauren R. 5/5 Verified August 23, 2024

I first tried this coffee after my brother in law brought some to the family beach trip after his girlfriend had gotten it when out in Cali. My husband made me some in a French press to try, and it was delicious! I had it every morning during our week at the beach and looked forward to it each day. I made sure to take a picture of the package so that I could look it up when we got back home and order some more. I ended up ordering several different kinds and have been happy with each one of them. I will definitely order again!

Shelby L. 5/5 Verified August 20, 2024

Like anyone who comes here I drink A TON of coffee. This is my favorite go to coffee for all day coffee drinking. Anyone who is considering placing an order, be sure to grab a bag of this. It is exponentially better than the big box stores that I won’t name which usually sells coffee that is over roasted. The details On the back of the packaging of James coffee is helpful as I try to gain more knowledge of what I am drinking. In addition, this James coffee shop blend is what I make for people when they come over to my house and say they love coffee us usually this blows their mind. Keep up the good work, James coffee!!

Jason R. 5/5 Verified July 25, 2024

Pantry is always stocked with James. Life isn’t the same without it.

Jared B. 5/5 Verified June 17, 2024

Love this blend for everyday drip. It’s easy going, smooth and uncomplicated making it my go-to for the morning coffee routine.

Jonna M. 5/5 Verified June 9, 2024

I love the house blend. It is in my current cold brew rotation. Very great blend.

Jonathan P. 5/5 Verified June 7, 2024

My favorite coffee. It is delicious and I have never been disappointed. I look forward to enjoying a cup of it every morning with my family. I also love having the option to order it by the Kilo.

Adam K. 5/5 Verified June 6, 2024

Shop Blend is my go-to. Roasted just right. A lot of coffee companies over-roast their medium roasts in my opinion, but not James Coffee Co. - they do it just right.

Aaron C. 5/5 Verified May 29, 2024

Great blend for both pour over and espresso drinks. Will be ordering again.
