Boston’s Best Coffee Shops | Eater Boston

"Find velvety cappuccinos and creamy cups of chai at Jadu, a Jamaica Plain newcomer that drew crowds of cafegoers from the instant it opened last December. Owned by Maya Mukhopadhaya, Jadu — which means “magic” in Hindi — serves up Counter Culture coffee, masala chai from Boston-based Madhrasi Chai, and a rotating cast of fun seasonal drinks like a savory-sweet rosemary honey cortado and a cardamom and clove latte. On the food side, there’s a full breakfast and lunch menu with sandwiches, bowls, and toasts to snack on, plus pastries supplied by nearby nut-free bakery Lavender Bee Baking Co." - Erika Adams

Extremely cute cafe - I can't wait to try their wine selection, I've heard extremely positive things about where they source their wine. It's a small cute coffee shop most days of the week and then Th-Sat in the nights they are a wine bar. It's a really nice space. The iced Americano was well made and the food smelled quite good inside. I would highly recommend this spot in JP.

Absolutely loved my visit to Jadu Cafe! The food was fantastic – the Avo Tartine was a standout, fresh and flavorful with just the right balance of textures. The brownies were also perfect – rich, gooey, and indulgent. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A perfect spot for a cozy brunch or coffee break!

South Asian/Middle Eastern-inspired cafe that brings a refreshing concept to JP, but its execution feels like a work in progress. Came here for breakfast and lunch this past week. On my first visit for breakfast, I opted for the pistachio butter toast and Breakfast Sammy. The toast had a promising start — the nutty richness of pistachio butter paired beautifully with fragrant rose petals. Yet, the tartness tipped the balance and made it difficult to finish without the grounding comfort of their turmeric latte. As for the Breakfast Sammy, it was a solid option. The focaccia was fine, though not my personal favorite for a sandwich base, and I found myself wishing for a more generous slather of Calabrian chili butter to elevate the flavors. I then returned with a friend for lunch and tried the Turkish-style eggs and Chicken & Rice. The Turkish eggs was essentially a deconstructed breakfast pita — jammy eggs, garlic labneh, and Aleppo pepper oil delivered on comfort but lacked a distinctive twist. Meanwhile, the Chicken & Rice offered a satisfying salad-rice bowl hybrid. The peanut ginger marinade added a nice twist, yet the dish was oddly similar to something I tasted from DIG. Overall, the cafe undoubtedly has potential, with thoughtful touches and a welcoming vibe. Not sure if I would return just for the food, but definitely a great spot to casually hang out with friends.

Great quick breakfast and lunch selections with some really nice specialty coffee and tea options. It can get pretty crowded here and the line to order can get a little awkward when it’s busy. The new wine bar is a lot of fun. You can treat it as a before/after dinner stop or make a whole evening out of it. Reservations on Resy might be required for awhile, as it seems pretty popular. Overall a great place to grab food and drink.

Such a cute gem in JP! Jada is a beautiful cafe that feels so light and bright and welcoming. All their food looks so beautiful and is actually unique and flavorful! The savory oats were an excellent start to the day, the jammy eggs melding perfectly with the chili crisp and miso flavors. The staff were also so nice, and I love that they have a few tables kept as laptop-free, making it a nice mix of people working or just chatting/reading. My only slight fault is the Maple Ginger Latte. A good drink, just really no maple or ginger flavor, just a good latte. Still, I would absolutely recommend coming here to hang out for a few hours, and don’t pass on the food!

Really cute place to grab a coffee and some food! The coffee was high quality and made very well, and the iced latte was HUGE. Also tried their breakfast sandwich which was good too. It has a very modern vibe and friendly staff and is a nice spot to sip on your coffee for a while.

This is a great new coffee shop in JP. Small intimate space which gets pretty busy even during the week. The coffee is very good and I’ve really enjoyed the Turkish style eggs, and breakfast sandwich. Update: went to one of their first nights as a wine bar and it was awesome! Very impressed with their selection of wines. Snacks we had included meatballs and feta dip. We tried a red, orange, white and rose which were all fresh. Will definitely be added to our regular wine spots. Recommend resys as its a very small spot but there is limited walkin counter space.

I got the Orange Blossom Honey Latte, Maple Ginger Latte, and the Labneh Parfait. I really enjoyed their lattes as they are really smooth and balanced. However, the orange blossom one was better as the orange blossom elevated the flavors. I could barely taste the ginger in the other one. The Labneh Parfait is stunning! The creamy and whipped yoghurt is luscious and is elevated by the tartness of the pomegranate molasses and the crunch of the hemp crumble! I wish they still had the Cardamom Clove Latte (seasonal latte) as I had heard good things about it and wanted to try it.

Fantastic cafe and now wine bar from Fri-Sun! Food is always incredibly good. The owner is always there working so hard with her staff. They're so friendly and attentive. I love their tea selection during the day and wine selection at night. I appreciate that they have non-wine options as well. It has for sure become a go-to place for me and something that was much needed in the JP neighborhood. They work with other local businesses to source ingredients and the amazing chocolate cake (shout out Monumental Market). I love supporting locally-owned small businesses, and this is one I'll continue support.

Beautiful ambiance. Clean, airy, bright, and cute decor and paintings. The aesthetic is seen even in the plates and glasses. Seems very intentionally designed and curated. The cardamom latte was delish. You could taste the cardamom flavor and it's so unique compared to other cafes. The Turkish eggs were good but the only flavor I could get was the sourness of the yogurt and I wonder if they could add something to balance it out. The breakfast Sammy while tasty felt dry and could use either a spread/chutney or perhaps a dipping sauce. Service was friendly and quick. I do wish them all the best because JP could do with such a cafe. Some advice for them would be to add more flavor to some of their dishes and supplement their dishes with a brilliant supply of baked goods, which can really lift up a cafe.

A great spot for unique and/or well-made coffee: don't sleep on their cardamom latte, very tasty. This place gets really packed though, and is also a challenge to figure out the line situation (who's actually in line, where do I stand after I order, where do I pick up my drink?). It's more of an in-and-out place for me- which IMO the vibe (clean, crisp, efficient, not super homey or cozy) supports as well.

We were very excited to try their wine bar menu and Jadu at night did not disappoint. The wine (and other beverage selection) was great and had lots of options. The food was delicious and prices were very reasonable. The tuna could've used a bit more lemon but it was so fresh and a good portion. The cauliflower was our standout favorite and I'll definitely be back for it. Highly recommend for casual drinks or cute date night. I was impressed by service especially on night 1 since the cafe hours are counter service. They seemed to out a lot of thought and effort into this and it's coming together very well.

" Great little cafe " Modern , trendy , good coffee, & friendly staff . What more could you ask for ? A great parfait and they had this too . Everything I ordered was delicious. Not much of a wait time , they had many staff members on hand & baristas. So the line moved fast . It's a welcoming vibe . Coffee is delicious. I definitely will be back . Parking is street metered. Please read the signs before parking .

Finally got to stop by Jadu -- I've tried to come in on 5 or 6 occasions, but there's been no sitting room. Was left feeling a bit frustrated today as the problem is apparent -- there's very limited seating, no WiFi limits to promote table turnover, and table sharing/courtesy isn't encouraged. I think this would be an easy improvement for this new spot to implement to drastically improve customer experience! I ordered a hot cardamom latte and the "breakfast sammy". The latte was delicious and its presentation was great as well. The little mug it came in was adorable and I enjoyed it. The breakfast sandwich was a pretty typical coffee shop sandwich; it got the job done. The baristas/staff were very welcoming and kind. The space itself is pretty sterile and vacuous/echoey. I can readily admit that different people appreciate different types of coffee shops; I appreciate a calming, cozy space and atmosphere. While Jadu didn't check those boxes for me, it may be somebody else's "cup of tea". I'll probably stop by in a few months to see if time is the solution here!

The perfect spot for brunch with a friend! The food was amazing and incredibly fresh, and the drinks were fabulous. The large iced latte came in a true large glass, which is very appreciative. Service was excellent and attentive throughout.

We had such a lovely evening at Jadu. The vibe of the restaurant is gorgeous, as is the impeccable service, drinks, and beyond delicious food. Alexa took such amazing care of us at the bar: she was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable about the wines, and gave us amazing recommendations on food (don't miss the cauliflower and whipped feta...). Thank you for such a great night Alexa, already looking forward to coming back. Jadu is such a beautiful, fun, and delicious addition to JP, exactly what this neighborhood needs!

I love love love this place. It opened as a coffee shop some time ago and it's excellent - solid coffee and some really creative food. Now it's added it's evening wine bar avatar - currently only weekends - and I went for the first time today - in fact I'm there now - and had an excellent glass of Chilean red & was super intrigued by a really cool looking menu. I'll of course be back. This place has what in my opinion JP sorely lacked - a great vibe, and good food and drink, without attitude and run by knowledgeable, lovely people. The owner Maya is really really lovely. And so are the staff! Oh, and it's pretty.

I'm giving this place a 5 because I want it to succeed, but honestly, it's more of a 4 until they figure out their seating situation. People camp out with their laptops, making it nearly impossible to find a spot to sit and eat, even just for a quick breakfast. I've been three times and had to stand while eating twice. That said, the food is great, and both the matcha and coffee are delicious. I highly recommend it and love having it in the neighborhood, but they really need to address the seating issue.

I went to Jadu for the first time this morning, and can't wait to go back! I had an iced mocha latte and a yogurt parfait. They were both so heavenly! My friend said she had been there for lunch before and it was really good as well. The staff was friendly, and so were the customers (I spoke with a little girl at the next table about her cookie and her singing class). Really nice vibe!
