What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on July 29, 2021. For example: The premises is free of pests.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 4, 2016. For example: Food is handled in a sanitary manner and is not contaminated.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Surfaces, dishes and tools that touch food or people must be cleaned and then sanitized or disinfected. Inspectors check sanitizer strength, dishwasher temperatures and how cleaning is done. Poor sanitizing lets germs survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on September 6, 2024. For example: The premises and all equipment, utensils, and food contact surfaces are maintained in good condition and used in a manner that ensures safe and sanitary food handling.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on November 5, 2015. For example: Employee hygiene is maintained.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 4, 2016. For example: An operator of a food premises must develop, maintain, and follow written procedures to ensure that a health hazard does not occur in the operation of the establishment.

    We stayed locally nearby on our visit to Vancouver for the World Cup. They have a local espresso drink with cinnamon and water, it was meh. The latte is always a solid choice and they have a doughnut of the week. The staff do a really good job of regulating the transients who don't belong and I saw Vancouver PD quite a bit during my frequent morning visits.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TL;DR: Super kind staff and great customer service. They helped fix my order quickly and made the experience very pleasant. I made a mistake with my order and my boyfriend accidentally ordered something that had dairy, which I can’t have because I’m lactose intolerant. When I realized it, I went back and Lexi kindly helped me change it, which I really appreciated. Thank you again for that. 😊 Service Lexi was very helpful and understanding. It made a big difference that she handled the situation so kindly and quickly. ☕ Atmosphere The place itself is very cute and cozy, and I believe it’s also their wholesale office, which is interesting to see.

    I truly love the coffee at all JJ Bean locations. Not only do the fragrance and taste of the coffee, pastries, and food stand out, but the atmosphere also makes me feel comfortable. The entire experience of getting a coffee here is delightful. You feel your body craving caffeine, and you walk into this beautiful café. You are greeted by staff with warm smiles, surrounded by the antique-style interior design, and you see people enjoying their coffee happily. You place your order and wait for your coffee. Waiting becomes almost unbearable because of how much you anticipate that lovely coffee—whether it’s hot or iced, it doesn’t matter. When you finally receive your coffee, it’s almost too good to believe, so you trust your nose and taste buds to confirm it. With this coffee in hand, you’re bound to have a happy day.

    Passing by many many times! First time ever went there, I now know why people always say ‘JJ Bean’. It is really nice people, small but big enough space. Never fancy, but sometimes the simple is the best!💕

    The best coffee shop to hang out at on Powell, with an old world charm very unlike those boring, dimly lit places with industrial decor. Staff is warm and friendly, service is on point. Excellent coffee, baked goods and wraps. Raspberry scone and Vegan wrap with meatless sausage are our favorites.
