Changes are a-Bruin’ at Joe n’ Go: Popular UCLA Store coffee stop revamps café experience
Reopened on July 26, the Joe n’ Go build-out brings fresh new coffee offerings, grab-and-go food and a welcoming, café-style seating space for Bruins to the UCLA Store.
Los Angeles, Calif., August 6, 2024 – Now introducing the new and improved Joe n’ Go! The central coffee station inside the UCLA Store recently underwent renovations for upgraded café services and a refreshed look.
Located on B-Level in Ackerman Union, Bruins have more options for their daily brews at Joe n’ Go; with the addition of three more brewing machines and a latte station equipped with on-demand bean grinding for a fresh, bold coffee flavor, all can now enjoy the expanded selection of drip and iced coffee alongside frappe-style drinks. Even more, lemonade, infused teas and sweet horchata beverages have been added to the Joe n’ Go menu.
“Our latest upgrades build upon Joe n’ Go’s self-serve model, allowing for even more customizations and add-ons to make the perfect cup of Joe with each pour,” said Jose Quiroz, UCLA Store Market manager. “As we reopen our space, I invite the UCLA community and campus visitors to stop in and see all Joe n’ Go has to offer. It will continue to evolve in the coming weeks to showcase new food options as well.”
To accompany a drink of choice, the expanded services at Joe n’ Go will soon be inclusive of a hot food station. The self-serve selections of hot dogs and all dressings, nachos, ready-to-eat meals like burritos, breakfast sandwiches and other convenience food staples will be added in the near future.
The space is tied together with refreshed, Bruin-centric detailing and offers more seating with traditional café-style tables for small parties and groups, as well as single-seating with cocktail tables.
The UCLA community can continue to enjoy Joe n’ Go program favorites by bringing in a reusable cup for discounted fills and collecting Coffee Club stamps for an 11th drink free with 10 purchases.
A student-run enterprise of Associated Students UCLA, Joe n’ Go closed for remodeling efforts on June 15 in anticipation of ushering the 2024-2025 academic year with a new and improved café experience. Joe n’ Go is open inside of the UCLA Store at Ackerman Union between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on weekends.
