The Craze Behind Juju Beans: How a Lakewood Roaster Took over Coffee Feeds
By David Miller
Despite universal praise across regional food media, JuJu Beans is tailored for specific coffee drinkers, not a general mass audience.
The beans and drinks excel for enthusiasts who prize high-clarity acidity, nuanced botanical tasting notes, and precise pour-over brewing. Home brewers equipped with burr grinders and temperature-controlled kettles will uncover vivid terroir distinctions across Nick Rocha's single-origin selections. Those who appreciate inventive, chef-driven signature drinks will find the Lakewood Do-si-do light-years ahead of syrup-heavy commercial beverages.
Conversely, drinkers who prefer heavy, roasty, Italian-style dark roasts with zero acidity may find JuJu’s roast profiles too bright or fruit-forward. Additionally, those who dislike waiting in lines or prefer standard, drive-through convenience will struggle with the shop's deliberate pacing. JuJu Beans treats each cup as an unhurried, manual craft, which naturally limits sheer speed of service.
