What a cool place! There were all kinds of good seating options in a big, open room. The servers got to me quickly even though there was a long line and were pleasant. The guest wifi was easy to access, too, which was helpful. My son and I got a coffee, a hot chocolate, and a pastry - which were all good. I will gladly visit again when I'm in the area waiting on a delayed flight!

Tucked inside 7th Street Market, Not Just Coffee is a hidden gem--but at this point, I'm probably not hiding since I go at least once a week. My go-to? An iced vanilla latte, and it's perfect every single time. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just don't take my spot in line!

Hello, it me. I was here yesterday, and I can confidently say, this coffee tastes GREAT!!!! I think the owner liked it a bit too much, because, contrary to the name, its is JUST coffee. Floor, coffee. Workers, coffee. Coffee? Yup, it's coffee. Couldn't even walk into this place without getting my socks wet! But it was a much needed wake-me-up! Ambiance. Overall, the coffee was super good, and I got it for free cuz I could just lick the floor. 5 stars.

Amazing coffee, great service. We asked for a long press (lungo) and despite not knowing what it was they served us one of the best we've had (after learning how to do it)

Not Just Coffee is always a good choice! I got to try their matcha for the first time and it was pretty good. I did add oat milk and vanilla which was perfection. I love that the market validates parking in the attached garage, makes it so much easier to go and enjoy the businesses inside. I love that Not Just Coffee is inside the market, along with Resident Culture. So you can get a coffee and later on a beer lol. Great service, great spot inside the market!!

I was in the mood for some tea, and decided to try this spot out. This coffee shop is perfect for those who enjoy coffee, but there is also such a wide variety of tea options as well, so it was hard to choose from! The barista was friendly and I was so impressed with the quality of tea leaves and care they took into making the drinks. They used high quality loose leaf tea and steeped it with a timer to make sure that the drink comes out good since certain teas require different steeping times! I ordered the iced dehong snow phoenix with sweetener which had a rich, nutty aroma complemented by delicate floral notes. Make sure to check this spot out if you're looking for high quality drinks at a decent price!

Can not go wrong here! And I love that they have a new app to pre-order. Seasonal flavors are the best. The drinks aren't so sweet that you can't taste the coffee.

I know my coffee taste and this coffee was quite good. Cappuccino was not too dark and had a beautiful leaf on it. They have 2hr free parking validation.

We stopped in for a coffee for my husband and got a 16 oz black coffee. He commented that it was REALLY good coffee. I wish I had taken a picture of the menu (sorry, my brain doesn't function in the morning) because I happened to see that they had a ginger chai tea as well as a masala chai and that they offered them as either sweetened or unsweetened. I'm a tea drinker and it's frustrating to order chai tea that isn't sweet because so many places use a syrup for the chai. Next time I will grab one of those! Great service too!
