Curator’s note

Erich Joiner, an Emmy-winning director who races cars, started Goodboybob on a simple question, whether coffee could be art, and named it after his dog Bob, who was a good boy.

The Coffee

Espresso comes as a choice of the house blend, a rotating single origin or the decaf, the Side Show Bob pours that single origin twice, as a shot and as a pour-over, and the batch brewer runs Marine Layer or a rotating single origin. Iced coffee is a flash brew of the house blend, the matcha and the hot teas come from Spirit Tea in Chicago, and the chai is Charlie Joe's single-origin Assam.

The Vibe

Goodboybob's counter opens straight onto the Deus floor, so a dune buggy and a rack of surfboards sit a few steps from the pastry case, under black industrial pendants hung from exposed rafters. Glass doors open onto a brick patio where the cafe set its own cream umbrellas over concrete-topped high tables and wood stools, against a grey stucco wall and a fiddle-leaf fig.
