Not in a pretentious way. In the real way. In the hands of people who care about craft. People who love beauty, film, architecture, race cars, surfing, design and dogs. Especially dogs.
We roast our own beans and source them the way a museum might curate an exhibition - thoughtfully, obsessively, maybe even a little irrationally. We partner with growers who treat farming like an art form.We build spaces that are part café, part gallery, part daydream.
We take coffee seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.
We obsess over the details. Work with people who inspire us. Serve things that inspire us. And try to make something beautiful. Every day.
Is coffee art? I think it can be.
Erich Joiner, Founder
Sourcing
We source our beans from the most renowned coffee-growing regions, working with farmers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability and who believe in equitable and environmentally-responsible practices. By building direct relationships with producers, we enable transparency, fairness and a better cup from the ground up.
Roasting
We roast in small batches to bring out the unique character of every bean. Our approach is equal parts art and science—designed to highlight each coffee’s natural flavor profile. From bright and fruity to deep and chocolatey, we let the origin speak for itself.

People
To some, coffee people are weirdos. Obsessed with sourcing the perfect beans. Infatuated with the right roast. Fixated on the ideal brew. Well, that describes the team at goodboybob all right, but we prefer the term “passionate”. From our VP of Coffee to the baristas behind the bar, we bring care, craft and a bit of nerdiness to every single cup. For us, it’s about the process, the art and the love.
