Curator’s note

Erich Joiner grew up in Redondo Beach, and his wife Deidre named the company for the family dog, Bob. This Highland Avenue cafe brought it back to the South Bay in 2021 as the second Goodboybob, under Joiner's rule never to become a chain that duplicates every room and reproduces it.

The Coffee

Limited coffees are brewed one cup at a time, on Kalita Wave drippers in Poursteady systems or, in smaller rooms like this one, with Fellow kettles and scales, and Curtis batch brewers handle the drip. The shelf sorts single origins and blends beside a Rare tier, and everything is roasted weekly.

The Vibe

Erich Joiner hung this room himself, 300 square feet on Highland Avenue a few steps from the public library. The walls carry black-and-white pictures of his parents from their years in surf magazines, a kinetic clock commissioned from the Swedish duo Humans since 1982, and Dewey Weber surfing, printed large from the LeRoy Grannis estate.
