No reason to go without good coffee. Just like the original location on LaSalle St., Jeremiah Joe Coffee - Canal Ave, serves fantastic coffee drinks, but now with a drive-thru!!! With seating inside or ou, and a drive-thru, this is the perfect place to stop if your out for a walk along the I&M canal, or driving through town and need latte.So excited that I now can get a Jeremiah Joe in two Ottawa locations.

Boy do I enjoy a good coffee! This was a cute drive-thru spot! I ordered a mocha frozen drink and it was delicious! I always enjoy the little coffee shops! They are open late and have a variety of drinks!

We stopped by this place at about 8 am on a Saturday. There were 4 cars in the drive thru, so we decided to go inside. We were the only customers inside. There were 4 people working, 2 drive thru, 1 doing something in the back, and 1 just getting there. No one acknowledged us as we stood by the register for at least 5 minutes. One of the workers even came up to the register, which we were right in front of, and didn’t say anything to us for another 5 minutes, and when he did, it was “I’ll be right with you.”Finally we get to order. We ordered 1 small and 1 large black house coffee and a Rice Krispie treat.We waited for about 10 minutes for someone to give us our coffee. I was watching the girl on bar make drinks and the guy who rang us up hopped on the espresso bar and started making drinks too. When they did get to the point where they were working on our coffees, I watched the guy who rang us up pour espresso shots into a cup and start to fill it with water, which is an americano, NOT the same as what I ordered, and something that my partner and I both dislike very much. I asked the drive through girl if he was making the americanos for us, and she said yes. She told me their coffee machine was down and has been for a while so they have no way to make regular coffee. There was absolutely NO mention of this at the register. We would have gone to their other location to get regular coffee if they would have told us about the coffee when we ordered. We should have been given the opportunity to choose if we wanted an americano instead of the business assuming we wanted one. As an ex-barista, I would never try to replace someone’s drink with something else unless they were aware and ok with it.The customer service at this place is in desperate need of some work.Our score for this place was originally 1/2 star. The Rice Krispie treat was the reason for the full 1 star. It was pretty good.

Finally got to use the espresso bean I purchased. Just high quality, great tasting espresso came out :)The store was staffed with two nice, competent, quick young ladies. They recommended which was the right bean for my taste. Nothing like buying local from people who care and make coffee right. Thank You.

This place is a true gem in Ottawa. I love all the syrup options. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. My kids go crazy for the lil joe option and then I don't feel guilty for not sharing my coffee! The inside is full of houseplants and has a cozy, boho feel to it. I recommend everyone to try the frozen Jeremiah joe mocha at least once!The only downside is the drive thru is small, but it works. It's easier to squeeze in the drive thru than to find parking at the other location when you're on the go!

I took a Dr there for coffeeHe didn't see sign to not touch cookies that were single sold. The young lady was quite rude to him. He felt like a criminal. Maybe don't have area look like a self service, then holler at customer. Embarrasing.

A friend and I (both from out of town) decided to meet at this cute coffee shop to start out our day. I ordered a nitro cold brew and she ordered the mocha Joe. The mocha. Joe was good. The nitro cold brew was truly not good and I am a avid black coffee drinker. It was cool-ish, nearly see-through, some foam on top and really bitter. I brought the drink back up to the register and told them I really didn’t care for it and was told I could try adding cream and sugar which I did and then it just tasted like cream and sugar water. I set it on the counter since it was full and told them they could just go ahead and dump it since I wouldn’t be drinking it. It sat on the counter for 25 minutes and as we were leaving, I did go up and ask if maybe I could have at least half my money back (or at least the tip money!) and was told by Britney “ yeah…. I mean, I guess I just don’t see how that’s really our problem.” (Meaning that I just didn’t care for it). I think I was just a little taken aback at that point. They are strictly a coffee shop and it was truly not a good cup of coffee. I was not in the mood to cause tension, but having time to reflect, I just thought I would share my experience here.

I was very disappointed with the morning breakfast sandwich. The biscuit was advertised as locally made, so I took a chance on a very expensive breakfast item, and the biscuit was barely held together. It immediately crumbled when I opened the package.Other than that though the staff seemed friendly, and they had a wide range of drinks on the menu. I really appreciated the kids hot coco. They prepared it at the perfect temperature for my four year old. It was a very charming spot, and there was a few scenic spots near the establishment.

Quite place conducive for reviewing things. It’s accessible to the road with enough parking space.

We go anytime we are in the area. We only use drive thru. Coffee is always delicious. Sausage biscuit sandwich was amazing!

Was here 10/16/21 in the afternoon. The downtown location was closed for a wedding, so we came to the drive thru location. Thought we would go inside... there were 5 people waiting and they never got served and walked out. We left as well. They did not have enough employees on a Saturday afternoon to operate a drive thru and inside counter. We like to support local, so it was a bummer that we had to go to Starbucks, as these are the only two coffee shops in town. Mostly I felt bad for the kids working there. They were working hard but were clearly short staffed. Maybe they should only operate the drive thru if they are short staffed, or send the employees from the closed location to the open one? Wish there was a better coffee scene in downtown Ottawa :(

Great drinks, fast, and friendly! Great way to get my iced decaf mocha latte 🥤😋 with the ease of a drive thru! Great boost to the day! I've already been multiple times since they opened and I would highly recommend it!

LOVE JJOES! Just wish they had better deals. The whole buy 6 coffees get 1$ off your next seems kinda meh when I spend 7 dollars on a gourmet coffee and am a loyal customer. The snickers blended is like a dessert option. And sooooo yummy.

Great coffee and excellent service! Limited menu, but I actually preferred that. It's better than being overwhelmed with options like at Starbucks. I will definitely be back.

Good addition to the Jeremiah Joe empire. The same great coffee, but with a drive through! Generally very quick service. One thing, though, their menu is not quite as broad as their main branch.

We get the caramel mocha frappe and it's great but a little pricey. Also, the price difference between a large and small is a few dimes so just get the large

Walk in customer coffee was great the service not so much we had to ask to be waited on. Four people working the drive thru.

An amazing addition to the best coffee shop ever! It is so convenient to go through the drive through, rather than get out and go in to the main store.

Got a banana smoothie and 2 breakfast veggie wraps & they were somehow so nasty that we had to throw them out after 1 sip & 1 bite.
