About

JJ Bean's Senior Leadership Team. L-R: Carla Froese, Wholesale Operations Leader; Grady Buhler, Coffee Quality Leader; Julie Trottier, Bakery Leader; Jesse Neate, Retail Operations Leader; John Neate, CEO & SLT Leader.

The Neate family has been roasting coffee in Vancouver for four generations. In 1996, John Neate Jr. (JJ) established JJ Bean Coffee Roasters to honour people through the best coffee, food, spaces, and service possible.

We believe all people have intrinsic value and seek to honour everyone — our coffee producers, our staff, and our customers — by only serving the freshest, best tasting coffee. To this end, we source the highest quality green coffee and roast it in small batches daily, guided by one principle: the best taste wins.
