This place has great coffee, good food, and today we even tried the soft serve ice cream. I tried the cappuccino soft serve, which was very good, and my kids tried the vanilla, which they said was very good. The staff was friendly, and the seating is very comfortable with several tables with student studying, and a comfy sofa. read more

I came in here this weekend and got a love bird latte. It was pretty sweet and not very hot but it was yummy. It looks like a cute place but it has a little bit of a fast food vibe which is weird. I think a nice reinvention would be good for this location. It could be a trendy little cafe- I mean look at those cute cups!!! The pastries looked really good too there were a lot of breakfast snacks! read more

If you need a coffee better than Dunkin Donuts in the South End area before your shift at 7 AM, this is the place to go. Every time I go in, it has this very "clean" odor that is difficult to describe. Anyways, Jaho provides a very homey, comfortable vibe based on the decor and atmosphere. The service is usually quick and friendly. Jaho also has many unique beverages (maple soy latte, lavender vanilla latte, thin mint latte, and a few that escape my mind atm) that are somewhat difficult to find elsewhere. Overall, the quality of coffee is decent and I have to thank Jaho for carrying me through soooooooooooooo many mornings at work. IG: Mood4foodeatery read more

Love it! The atmosphere is calm and cozy; they play the best music, and the staff are very friendly. Granted I only went one time, but it seems like a great place to relax with friends or bring a book to read. Most of the customers seemed to be studying/working on one thing or another. The reason I give them 5 stars is that they have amazing amazing drinks. I ordered the maple soy chai latte, and it was heaven on my tongue. I don't think I've ever had a drink as well-balanced to my palette as that one! read more

My husband & I went for lunch. I ordered spinach pie, he a ham & cheese sandwich plain "nothing else on it." The wait was exceptionally long to receive our order while others came & went after us. I get that it's quicker to make coffees & teas w ready to grab food but you have to do an orders taken. So was the food worth the wait...absolutely not!! The spinach pie tasted like it was in the fridge for a long time & dried out with minimal spinach. Nothing at the ends. I must rate it as worst I've ever had. And the plain sandwich w nothing on it came lathered in Mayo. There was a decent amount of meat on the sandwich but for the price there should be. My husband used the bathroom while waiting and it was filthy! Looking at my ratings I am usually generous but could not be with this establishment. read more

Subpar food. Very subpar service. Messy. Very expensive Nothing really great about this place. Much better places nearby. read more

Julia and Kliton at the Cambridge location were very nice and my coffee was perfect!

Just not good, almost broke my teeth on the bagel sandwich, maybe what I got just wasn't a good one? Latte was fine. If you're looking for not Dunkin' then sure but wouldn't go beyond that. Staff seemed grumpy but it's early so who can blame them. read more

Two waters and a cookie $15.99. Outrageous! I'll walk over to Flour Bakery next time.

Gloy is the best server. I'm new to this shop and to Salem in general. She Helped me with decisions in every aspect. Ask for her

Stopped by in the morning for a quick bite before lunch and spent $18 on a iced coffee and a BLT. The restaurant has a nice design inside and has plenty of seating options if you decide to eat here but the food was not good at all. The "iced" coffee had a nice taste but was room temperature which was pretty disappointing, there wasn't any ice in it at all. The BLT was worse though, it was as hard as a rock I tried eating it but couldn't break it even biting down with all my force. Even if I had managed to break into the bagel the sandwich only had 2 pieces of bacon and 1 tomato and 1 piece of lettuce, pretty skimpy for the price. The service wasn't bad and the restaurant had a nice look and theme but the food is awful, which should be the first priority.... Won't be coming back read more

This place is quite lovely! The customer service was especially great. The woman at the counter was patient with me as I decided on my order and was quick to kindly provide me a cup of water after I ordered. The sandwich I ordered, the Turkey BLT, was delicious and nicely sized. The bread was so good and the veggies were fresh. My almond milk latte was also very yummy, the milk wasn't perfectly frothed but wasn't bad! The espresso was pulled nicely and the coffee flavor wasn't too strong or burnt-tasting. The place is cozy inside with many places to sit and several tables, though it is not extraordinarily cute indoors. Jaho has a wide selection of food and drink options which is so awesome! From Zodiac teas which is pretty neat(different flavors for different signs) to many kinds of pastries. You'll have loads to choose from and won't just want to leave with a coffee. I love that this place is up and running and allowing people to sit inside. They take all the precautions necessary, of course. My only suggestion is to elevate the barista technique and revamp the aesthetic. But regardless, this place is definitely worth visiting. read more

Walked in, only one person in line, they were done and the 2 girls behind the counter decided to drink their drinks, chat with each other and ignore me. After 30 seconds or so, dumbfounded, I left. Awful. read more

Great ambience for a casual meeting or for reading but terribly overpriced! I showed up on an early Saturday afternoon and ordered an egg sandwich, which took almost 15 minutes to make. The cakes in the display looked as if they had been made several days ago!! Beware: there are no prices listed on the menu. The lack of transparency is unheard of. Why hide it? read more

A complete and utter disgrace of a establishment. A homeless man walked into the place was not bothering anyone but requested from the store clerk for a cup of water. The normal common decent thing to do would be to say no problem to this older homeless person that lives in our neighborhood. He wasn't affecting business just looking for a cup of water. As a small business in the community, they could have easily given the the gentleman a cup of water and he would have been on his way. Instead a woman who identified herself as the Manager, escorted him out and said he couldn't be here. How you act as a small business in this community is a testament to your values and ethics - think twice before you give this company your money. There are coffee shops in the neighborhood that offer way better food anyway. read more

I dropped into Jaho with a friend while we were cruising the South End on a Sunday evening. It looked like a pleasant coffee shop. It was quiet, there were a few people inside, but it was certainly far from crowded. It seemed like a great place to get a drink, chew the fat, and have a good time. The first things I look for when I go to a new place are the prices. How a business prices their goods directly informs how much I will enjoy their products. I scanned the menu for quite a long time, and could not find them. No biggie, I thought, maybe the menu was just poorly organized, and I had missed them while looking around. I ordered a piece of cake, and a large hot chocolate. Imagine my surprise when the clerk then asked me for $12. I learned right then why I could not find the prices. They are intentionally left off of the menu, because this place is just too rich for my blood. For the rest of my visit I was evaluating the quality of what I received. The cake was good, but it was not $12 good. The hot chocolate was OK, but not better than a chain coffee store. The high prices, and deliberate omission really soured my experience while I was there. Yes, I had a great time with my friend. We chatted, staring out onto Washington Street as cars drove by, and night time came to the city. It is definitely a good location, decent atmosphere with a nice storefront, but none of that justifies the price to me. read more

This is a really great place to do work. First the bathrooms never run out of toilet paper. Second the place has great lattes and smoothies. Third it has outlets everywhere. I always come here when I'm in Chinatown and appreciate it very much. The bathroom does have a code but you can just buy a coffee or something read more

Jaho - I love jaho. This is the original chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A great spot for an early coffee run. There is ample amounts of space so seating should not be an issue. On my visit I went with the cappuccino and was not disappointed. The ratio was perfect and I would definitely recommend. Side note: I went with the large and it was def large! On my next visit I would opt for the small. The service was great and I will definitely return on my next visit to Boston! read more

We got salmon bagel for $13 It was terrible there was one piece of tomato, one lettuce leaf and one small piece of salmon. The bagel was stale. I could not even bite it. If I tried could have damaged my teeth. 100% never ordering food here again read more

It was a great place for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. A Convenient coffee shop to quickly grab some coffee on your way to work. May it be at the Boston Medical Center, or local offices around. Would go again. read more

been wanting to check out the one at the Chinatown/DTX location since its opening a year or more ago, never had the chance. came across this one in the South End by chance; ditched Flour to check this place out. menu was high up on the wall. there are a few items of each category (sandwich, salad, etc), and none of them had a "$" next to it. ok...ordered a Cuban and a drink with a leap of faith. came to be under $15, not too bad for the neighborhood. ordering the drink was actually the harder part. they have a LOT to offer. so much that i couldn't digest the menu in the few minutes' time that i stood there. saw "nitro cold brew", went for it. while waiting, i noticed that one of the scones on the light was half broken off - almost thought it was by design and then realized a second later that it wasn't. it'd be amazing that nobody has noticed that, it being right at the ordering counter. maybe it's recent. maybe none is bothered by it. all good. moments later, guy behind the bar called out "coffee" a couple times; i was the last one to place an order but i didn't think i ordered just "coffee", so i ignored it, but it turned out to be mine. my nitro cold brew -- didn't see any foam, no bubbly to taste...was it really a nitro? or just a cold brew? hmmm. wish i could locate the milk jugs too, but i left in a rush, without looking. guess the guy called out accurately after all - it was just a "coffee". not what i'd expect from a place that is positioned to be some coffee connoisseur. sandwich was ok, resembling a Cuban with the ingredients. came with a plastic container, bag of chips, and a napkin...which is now stuck to the melted cheese on my sandwich. ok, extra fiber it is. overall food and experience: not horrible, but really just average. maybe next time when i get time to scrutinize their beverage menu and order something more appropriate, i'd come out more satisfied. but that is if i return. read more

I have never left a review. This is horrendous. 4 blueberries. Paid almost $13 to get it delivered. You charge $8 dollars for milk and chia seeds. The quantity is terrible that's fine but 4 blueberries why even bother? read more

First and foremost, I love the Jaho way-ho. Genuinely. Here's proof: http://www.yelp.com/biz/jaho-coffee-and-tea-salem#hrid:Uv4vOXBggvHE6EB1o-pv1w But even with a duplicate menu, the Washington St location fails to capture even a fraction of the comfortable atmosphere flawlessly proffered by its witchy Salem sister. The decor is IKEA institutional, thrusting "for here" diners in to the warm womb of a high school cafeteria. Completely angular, way too boxy and not a hint of welcoming for any laptopping or social updating. Fine, if that's what they're going for, but a coffeehouse that doesn't attract a wall of open MacBooks may as well be a continental breakfast room at Best Western. Drinks. If you've inherited the winning menu, nail it. Her much-pumped frozen hot chocolate served up icy and layered, but to be fair, my blended Thai iced bubble tea was frosty, appropriately homogenized and pretty damn good. I love Jaho, just not this one. read more

This is my go to spot for the most random order - a hot chocolate, a Spanish latte, and a pizza bagel. I love the Spanish latte here because it's a good balance of milk to coffee and sweetness. I don't like very milky drinks so I appreciate this latte. The hot chocolate here is quite good too! It's a favorite of most people who I bring here! Now the pizza bagel is actually the star of the show to me. I like that their bagels are always soft enough to cut into, and the ratio on this bagel are spot on! I would highly recommend swinging by for things on the Jaho menu! read more

I was super excited to go to this place because it looks great from the outside. It's really well decorated - and maybe that's the only thing that's good here, unfortunately. Service was fine. I didn't get any insightful recommendations from the staff so I went with a pot of tea with chai/coffee/chocolate notes. It had an unpleasant smell and aftertaste - after confirming with my friend, we decided it was like a sour/acidic vomit. Maybe I shouldn't have been so excited...or thirsty read more

If you're looking for a very cute tea and coffee place that makes INCREDIBLE lattes, definitely consider checking out Jaho! I came here a couple of times during my time in Boston, and I really loved the atmosphere of the coffee shop and the service. The people are so kind, the coffee is incredible, and the space is great to set down a laptop and work away for an hour or two! There are tables, benches, and ledges to work at, so finding a place that's comfy to work in shouldn't be a problem! There's also outdoor seating if the weather permits. It's not too pricey, about the same as Starbucks and minus the line. I also really appreciated that the ice in my coffee was blended up. My boyfriend and I tried the red velvet cake and thought it was okay. However, we really enjoyed our coffee! read more

If only the quality of the coffee or pastries matched the brilliant pink cup design. Outrageously expensive and very unreliable internet.

If you're ever in the South End and are hungry for something scrumptious and different, you need to swing by this place and try their pizza bagels! I stumbled into this place about a year ago and had their Reese's Peanut Butter Latte. Yes, it does sound like it could be too much but it was just right! Today my girlfriend and I went on a lunch date here and had Pizza Bagels. I changed it up for my girlfriend today and added a bit of pesto on top. At first she was a little skeptical of having pesto on it but I told her once she has it, she'll never have it any other way here! The verdict... She loved it! This place is great! It's a cute coffee and sandwich shop. It's great when it's not busy because it's not crowded but when it's busy it is hard to get around the tables. Other than that it is very neat, clean and the staff are very friendly! Once you order your food they bring it to where you are sitting and you can leave your plates where you sit but they have a bucket for you to bring your plates when done. Another plus about this place is that when you visit and reach 5 visits, you get $2.00 off your 6th visit! read more

We were told this coffee shop was nearby, so while my boyfriend was in class down the street at BU, we decided to hangout here and wait! You'll walk in seeing a bunch of tables in front of you, and to your right towards the counter, tables against the wall on your left, and an L-shaped couch with a coffee table towards the left back corner. Plenty of space for studious students, coffee-dates, or mingling time! I ordered the Spanish Latte, which was basically your regular latte sweetened with condensed milk. It had a nice, sweet flavor--actually tasted exactly like Vietnamese coffee! & I really thought the little paper cozy with a mustache & rainbow sunglasses was so cute! If you're not a huge coffee fan, they offer a good amount of other drink choices, like hot chocolates, smoothies, & even bubble teas! read more

Jaho - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I just wanted a good black iced tea. The guy behind the counter with the fluorescent green hair and the even more glowing snarky attitude tells me that the system is broken and they don't have any tea made for iced tea. He tells me that they'll brew the tea and put it on ice. You know what happens when you do that - weak iced tea that tastes like dirty water (cue The Standells). So, you get crappy attitude + crappy iced tea for $3.60. Avoid. read more

Standard convenient coffee shop. Nothing spectacular, but another potential study spot when I don't want to venture out as far from home. COFFEE - I didn't order anything fancy, just straight up coffee. However, that is arguably the most important thing to have down. It was okay. A little cold for my taste (I like it HOT). Had I known it wouldn't be that hot I would have asked them to put it in my thermos, which they are more than happy to do (pouring it myself was a disaster). PASTRY - Got their blueberry scone. Didn't hate, didn't like it. Tasted a day old, but I was grateful they warmed it up for me. They do have a pretty wide variety of pastries. Maybe the others taste better? SERVICE/AMBIANCE - Adequate space for this area; cute. There is a nice mix of booth space, table seating, a few stools, a couple of lounge-y chairs. Appreciate the decor (which is pretty much expected these days from coffee shops). I'll definitely come back when I need an alternate study space. Wouldn't necessarily come here just for coffee or to eat, but that may always change if I end up really liking other things on their menu. read more

This review is simply for their cold-brewed iced coffees! If you've never had cold-brewed coffee before, do yourself a favor and try it. Like now. Smoother, less acidic, more caramel flavor, less bitter, and just darn delicious. They also have almond milk along with their soy milk, which is a nice option for us lactards. Another big plus is that there is usually no wait, whether it is early in the work morning or during weekend brunch time. They have seating, but most are taken up by people doing work. read more

Jaho - Spinach pie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A great place to come for a coffee! You can get a massive cup (a medium) for only $2.14. The coffee is absolutely delicious, and heavy-bodied. The servers fill your coffee cup to the brim, and allow you to put whatever else you'd like into it. A countertop in the cafe has a variety of milks, creamers, sugar, sweeteners and spices that you can add to your coffee. I also ordered a coconut macaroon, and was disappointed in how expensive it was - more than $3 for a tiny, golf-ball sized portion! This discouraged me from ordering any other bakery items or sandwiches, despite how good they looked. The cafe has a really cosy feel to it, with a variety of tables, couches and countertops to sit at. It's a great place to come with some friends and chat over a cup of coffee, or get some studying done. read more

A most welcome coffee shop addition to the South End esp. since the only alternative in the area is Flour which is almost always packed. I've come by several times so far to study and it's a great spot to get some work done - good amount of space and seating is pretty comfortable. So why the 3 stars? The coffee itself is only decent and even their pour over pales in comparison to the likes of Thinking Cup and Pavement - hard to say where the weak point is (beans themselves, water temp, grind, etc.), but it was about on par with my own single drips on an off day. Haven't tried the food yet, but I thought it was awesome that they offer Japanese toast...def will get around to that soon! read more

I like the ambiance of the place, but the price is a bit high and their bubble tea is not very good. I will have to try some of their coffee next time. read more

Tasty iced coffee and the place itself was clean and nice. Barely edible blueberry muffin - incredibly dry I couldn't even get through half of it. Probably the worst muffin I've ever eaten. Tried to make friendly small talk with barista and pretty sure she wished I was dead. Don't think I'll be back. read more
