I present my first ‘official’ installment of Americano Mondays at Jobot Coffee.
I ended up going back to Phoenix for a few days last week. So I reached out to some local coffee shops and was lucky enough to shoot at two locations. Not bad seeing as they were last minute requests during a holiday week. (4th of July)
Before our move to California, my wife and I lived in downtown Phoenix. And I must admit, at times I do miss our old neighborhood. (not enough to ever move back) There were multiple restaurants, bars, art galleries and coffee shops all within walking distance. As well as First and Third Fridays, the monthly art walks that were literally downstairs from our loft.
Which brings us to Jobot. A coffee shop that resides in an old duplex originally built in the 1930′s. They opened in October of 2010 and are located on 5th St and Roosevelt. A crazy cool street where all of the homes have been converted into coffee shops, bars, art galleries, book stores and a gift shop. If your ever in downtown Phoenix, make sure to visit Roosevelt Row and support the local shops.
Joey G, one of the owners of Jobot. I’m not sure where they’re getting their espresso beans from but I was more than impressed with how smooth the Americano’ was that he made for me.
I fell in love with this old automated piano. It has so much character. Unfortunately, the scroll/automated part of it doesn’t work anymore.
Bella the dog, kickin’ back at the shop with it’s owner.
I wasn’t able to try one, but I hear that they make good crepes. Parris (with 2 r’s) was kind enough to allow me to photograph her making one.
You are loved
And I dig that about this joint.Check out their website HERE to get more info on their location/direction/etc.

Phoenix alive and well. Cool shots Jeff. I’m looking forward to more Americano Mondays.
Yeah man, it’s crazy how much has changed over the past few years. It’s good to see…but…I wish some of it was there before I moved away.
Great work Jeff!
The fact that you’re passion for caffeine & photography have merged into one promising and educational blog is an inspiration. I now have more coffee shops to visit after my move from South Mountain to Arcadia/Phoenix. Thank you. Let me know if you’re ever in the area. I know a couple of places that are pretty cool.
Nice man. I’ll have to hit you up when I’m in AZ again.
this is going to be a great success. looking forward to more jeff!
Dig it man. Thanks.
Love what they did to Jobot! I can’t wait to have a cup of coffee there with you!
We definitely will…
Place looks great, dig the piano!
Yeah, that piano was pretty sick. Definitely added a nice touch to the place.
You always produce mesmerizing portraiture, Joey G’s being another mesmerizing example.
Thank you very much Natalie. I appreciate that.
… especially when someone randomly sits down and starts playing it
It would have been cool to see that for sure.
Way to bring it! great community wonderful coffee! xo
