Back Bay - Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar

Tried the iced kulfi & it was delicious! Definitely a decadent beverage and only comes in 24 oz. I wish I could’ve gotten a smaller size but refrigerated well. It is super creamy with all the cold foam. The flavor was great and not super sweet (which I prefer). The ambiance is cute! Some food items as well but did not try.

OBSESSED WITH THE ICED KULFI LATTE!!!! 🌹🧋Seriously amazing, I really hope they keep it yearround cause I'd love to try the hot version of this in the winter. A cardamom, pistachio and rose latte inspired by kulfi. I always liked Jaho and I would drop by if I was in the neighborhood of one and needed a coffee, but now it's become the destination. This branch was also not super crowded and perfect for getting some work done in the afternoon.

Jaho has quickly become one of my favorite spots — whether I need a quiet corner to work, a cozy place to unwind, or a casual evening out with friends. The lighting, the music, the subtle aroma of freshly roasted coffee — it's clear that every detail at Jaho is curated with intention. Their coffee? Next-level. Rich, smooth, and expertly brewed — no matter what I order, it never disappoints. I’m especially fond of their pour-overs and unique seasonal lattes (the lavender honey is a dream). And when the sun starts to dip, Jaho effortlessly transitions into a stylish wine bar with a fantastic selection. The wines are thoughtfully chosen, and the vibe at night is laid-back and intimate, without ever feeling pretentious. What sets Jaho apart is the people. The baristas and staff are genuinely kind, passionate about what they do, and always ready to offer a recommendation or a warm smile. It’s rare to find a place that nails both craft and comfort so well. Whether you're sipping espresso on a quiet morning or toasting with a glass of red on a Friday night, Jaho is a place that invites you to slow down, savor, and stay a while. It’s more than just a café or a bar — it’s a local treasure.

I love this place. It’s on a pricier side for coffee and food, but it’s so perfect for having work done in a cafe atmosphere in the evening. Sleepy Boston has no place to have a coffee after 7pm that’s not a bar. This is the ultimate third space for cramming studying or work, or just look outside and see the city lights.

Had a lovely experience today, my barista Matt chose the perfect tea for me and it was amazing, def go with his recommendations and it’s also a perfect place to study late and sit down, there’s free WiFi and placed to charge whatever you have.

I love going here after school or in between a break, the coffee options are enormous and all of them are delicious. The bagel sandwiches are also delicious and filling! They messed up my order once and quickly made it up after hearing about it. It’s also big and quiet enough to get some work done.

Excellence across the board! Been to many of your locations over the years, and the quality and service consistently delivers Tried the chai latte from you guys a couple weeks ago, and loved. Not too sweet, and perfectly spicy.

Good coffee and ambiance but music is way too late dance music. They can't decide if they're a coffee shop or a bar. They seem much closer to a coffee shop, but one that you can't bring yourself to sit down and focus in. I highly recommend ditching the bar vibe and embracing the coffee shop. Most people in Jaho, regardless of the time of day, are there to get some work done. Don't drive them away.

My Nutella latte was so warm and delicious. It was like every sip was filled with a the perfect amount of Nutella swirl and coffee. I also had the blueberry power bowl and that was healthy and filling!

Severely understaffed compared to other Jaho locations I've visited. I went around 8pm on a Monday night and only saw two employees. I had to wait a few minutes at the register before someone showed up. I waited 15-20 minutes for my flat white. The employee who gave it to me apologized for the wait. I don't fault the employee when they clearly need to hire more people. The flat white itself was okay. I also got a slice of Boston cream pie cake which was $11. I wouldn't have gotten it if I knew the price beforehand. There are far less pastry options than other Jaho locations. Overall I think the Chinatown location is better.

You order on the kiosk and then pick up your order. However if you have questions and need a server they are non existent. No one was at the front counter. Waited for a server but no one came out to help. Not worth the long wait.

Under no circumstance should you order the matcha latte. It's the worst matcha latte I've ever had. The bagel with cream cheese isn't bad, but save your time and money and go to a different cafe. Update: Do not use the restrooms. The cafe has a log on the door of when the last cleaning and restock of toilet paper was, and the last cleaning was over two weeks ago. I guess I respect the honesty?

Jaho is a great spot to hit up if you're looking to try some cool drinks! They open early on the weekdays at 6:30am (7am weekends) and close late at 11pm every day. They have unique flavor combos that most places don't offer such as maple chai and they have yummy matcha. One cool thing to note about Jaho is that they have spiked beverage options & can add alcohol to any non-alcoholic drink for an additional ~$5.

Not a big fan of this place, but when you need a pick me up and I am in this area of backbay I will go. I have had their tea once. I had chamomile if I remember correctly the tea tasted a bit weird. I have also had lattes from here and they used to come in cool to go cups. Not sure if they do that anymore. This place has tons of seating. It also has a bar area. There is a somewhat private seating area in the front with cool chairs. It is a good place to meet with friends though either to grab a drink later in day or a nice hot or iced coffee. When I was here alot if school kids were here doing Homework with their friends. Service was ok staff were ok too.

I really used to like this spot but this location in particular is really no longer as good as it used to be. The staff forgot to place my friend's order so we waited about 15 minutes. I tried a kulfi latte which just tasted like a coffee frappe with sugar pumps. My friend got a thai tea which also was slushie textured and paired poorly with the boba. I think they would hopefully still be fine for normal coffees and such.

I was craving boba tea and searched the area online for one. This place popped up and it was located near the hotel I was staying at. The place was nice inside with plenty of people. A typical coffee shop vibe. There were pastries, coffee, boba tea, beers, and mixed drinks. That's awesome that they also serve alcohol. I ordered the black sugar milk boba tea and it was delicious! The service was good also. Overall, a good spot for some boba tea.

Excellent pastries, beverages, and all-day breakfasts with bagels and croissants. The variety of sandwiches includes chicken salad, pane di pumi (pesto fresh mozzarella, and prosciutto) cubano slow-cooked pork, ham, chipotle aoili with pickles, turkey BLT, and albacore tuna salad sandwich. Pizza is also offered as is Caesar and caprese salads. I ordered the soup which is chicken, lemon and rice (also known as avglemono). I ordered the smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel. Irish coffee is available for take-out. All of these are favorites of mine.

Stopped in this awesome coffee and bar. No place like this in Salt Lake City so we greatly appreciated the theme. Great coffee options and liquor coffee options, a full food menu options too. Boston, your are lucky to have a place like this!

All I am gonna say is that the boba tea is delicious! I also enjoyed the banana bread and the iced latte. A little on the pricey side but a nice little place for some grab and go.

We came @6:30am and were the 2nd customers thus far. We placed our order and the cashier failed to tell us there were no bagels and was not sure when the delivery would arrive. As well as, the machine was "broken" but did not tell us as when he took our order. We waited about 10min before communicating with us. Offered no refund. Your better off going to Pressed.

Went here after a show in Boston since it was near where we parked. They have many drinks to choose from. It is a cute little place with lots of seating. My friend and I we cold after walking here so we each got a hot chocolate. I also go Kahlua in my hot chocolate for added flavor. The hot chocolate was very creamy and delicious. We also split a chocolate chunk cookie. They also serve food but since it was late in the evening we didn't try anything else from the menu. Can't wait for next trip to Boston to go back.

The cafe itself is cute and the drinks and menu are really creative. I was told that the Iced Kulfi Latte is a Rose Pistachio latte and when I received it, it was so pretty I almost didn't want to drink it. I was super excited to drink it and was expecting a subtly floral latte but unfortunately, what I got tastes like a thick, sugar syrup. I can't taste any coffee and honestly, I don't even want more than just the one sip I took because of how sweet the drink is. I love sweets and even I can't handle it. I'm so sad and disappointed in my $8 drink :(

This place looks better than it actually is. I got lured in with the dessert choices with soft serve and bubble tea. And I thought the menu items were interesting. Like coconut boozy boba tea? Never heard of that and was willing to give it a try. We ordered two things the coconut boozy bubble tea and the espresso martini and I could not believe that it came out to $28. Crazy pricey. And the reviews on the slow service were totally right. They have no idea what they are doing. Getting orders and customers mixed up. They are not very enthusiastic about their job. So I could see where the poor customer service reviews come from. But like other people say, it's a good place to get work done for the locals. The drinks itself... very average. The coconut bubble tea was a great concept. But wayyy too sweet. The espresso martini was also average.

Coffee was very good. Tea was nothing special. They accidentally overcharged me and didn't realize it until later on.

I ordered the green matcha latte which was fine and I had ordered a breakfast sandwich which was egg sausage on a English muffin. Let me tell you they served it in two half slices which was considerate but the sandwich itself look like it was squished into a mold. In other words I couldn't tell if there was any English muffin on it but I will honestly say that it tasted better than it looked. The ambience was very people friendly and they had some interesting bougie chairs that need to be reupholstered from overuse and the place was big and clean but I just think they need to revamp it for the new year. I finally came here after passing by gazillion times.

This past Tuesday was my first experience at Jaho, and definitely not the last! The first thing that caught my eye was the perfect mixture of pinks, black, and white -- a unique, yet calming color palette that totally worked. The employees were quiet, but helpful. As soon as I saw red velvet lattes on the Valentine's Day specials menu, I instantly knew what I was ordering. I paired that with a meltaway cookie - shortbread isn't particularly my favorite, but it lived up to its name and was perfectly sweet. I ordered at the kiosk to customize my order further, going with nonfat milk and decaf as well. It was a perfectly made drink with a beautiful flavor and a lovely shade of reddish pink. I even got a peanut butter cookie to go after, and my friend raved about her chocolate, raspberry, and caramel coffee also from the Valentine's menu. The regular menu looked just as exciting, with oatmeal cookie and french toast flavored drinks that I cannot wait to try. I subsequently got home and immediately raved to everyone I knew about my experience and my order at Jaho. Worth every penny!

I have wanted to try Jaho for a while now - and I'm glad I did! I took the chicken onion empanada, which was yummy, but the highlight was my drink. I drank the lavender vanilla latte, which was delicious, but it took me so long to decide what to get - I have never seen such a unique and extensive beverage menu! I will be returning to try all the other exciting drinks they have. I really love the ambience of the place too - everything is pink, and it's so aesthetically pleasing and pretty. I definitely recommend Jaho!

Big space and lots of menu options - this was a great surprise near Copley square. We stopped in for some cappuccinos which were delicious and made fresh, but they also have fun lattes, bubble tea and all kinds of boozy drinks at the bar which could be fun for a later afternoon pick me up. I'd definitely go back again to try more things!

Flat white was decent, service was kind of meh (server was slow and didn't really know what things on the menu were) and the place looked like it needed a bit more upkeep (cleaning) even though it was a slow time already. Seems like a decent spot to get work done in Back Bay (beer and wine to maximize creative productivity in addition to caffeinated options :) ). Lots of seats, good lighting. And a decent number of outlets. Stable Wi-Fi.

This place is pricey but the coffee is good. I've been to this location a couple times. This visit, I ordered a cold brew and their caprese sandwich. Cold brew came out right away, I don't think it needs any cream or sugar added, it's good on its own. Caprese sandwich came out not too far behind the coffee. All the ingredients on the sandwich, the bread mozzarella tomatoes and pesto, all tasted fresh. Service throughout was excellent. They also have coffee cocktails which I haven't yet tried but look intriguing. For me, this isn't a place I would go everyday for my morning coffee on the way to work. This is a splurge coffee or a lunch date type of place. If you're looking for a good place to catch up with a friend or maybe go on a first date this place is great for that. There's tables to eat and work at as well as a big comfy chairs in a separate area if you're looking to just sip on a drink and chat with someone.

Just to preface, my review is based on a very limited experience. I would give it one star, but I am giving it 3 because I have not tried the majority of the menu. The only item I ordered was a spinach pie because it was priced at $8.88 (a lucky number of mine), but I was very disappointed. The spinach filling was very salty and not satisfying. The one redeeming factor was the texture of the surrounding pastry - the right amount of flaky and crunchy.

Jaho is a good place to get breakfast or bring a laptop and get some work done. They open very early in the morning, and they have a bunch of options for breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Their bubble tea is by far the best, imo. They have interesting flavors, and because the store doubles as a bar at night, they even offer alcoholic bubble tea. In my experience it's usually a little busy. Enough that you may not get the seat you want but they do have a lot of seating. Once you've ordered you'll have to linger by the front to wait for your food. The staff are pretty good about calling out names and finding people, but you may have to wait to snag a seat in the room with the fancy chairs.

The lattes here are so delicious and creamy. Hands down one of my favorite of all time. Didn't try the food so not sure about that. Service was great! Loved the shop as a whole. Could definitely see someone working or doing school work or catching up with friends here.

Fun coffees and bright atmosphere. I went with 7 teenagers who absolutely love the coffee hear and begged me to go with them. They were very confused as to how it could be a coffee shop by day but coffee 'bar' at night. I didn't stop by in the evening so I told them I don't think it's coffee cocktails only-since that was the impression they were under. Anyway-all the coffees were excellent, although on the sweeter, richer side. I also had a bagel with lox which was very good! My only concern was the excessive thick plastic cups, lids and overly thick and wide plastic straws that go out with each iced beverage. I thought we were moving away from excessive use of plastic? Why are straws still a thing?

Decent place, fun vibes, cool concept. Went for coffee and wasn't a fan-- the special drinks were very dessert like. But if that's what you're going for, go ahead! Would recommend getting the smaller sizes, I got the Large nutella coffee and it was too rich for me, but definitely preference. I know there's also alcoholic options, so would be fun to try! Interesting vibes for boba, coffee, bar, etc. and I think they were able to do all of them decently well together!

What is this place trying to be? It's like someone wanted to build a bar but accidentally asked for a cafe and then tried to switch it up last minute. It's like Peet's coffee meets hotel bar. If that sounds unappealing to you - that's correct. They have ads all over the store for bubble tea, which is pretty much my kryptonite (along with, like, a lot of other things). And when I get to the counter they have two options for bubble tea. And...that's it. I know that sounds nitpicky, but I think that's the issue with this place, it's trying to do all the things and so it fails across the board. I paired my disappointing bubble tea with a pastry, which was similarly unimpressive. I don't get this place. Maybe I got the wrong thing, but I'm not sure what could go right when you try to be two places at once.

The cafe of the future is here today and you can find it right here in the Back Bay, or--apparently--Tokyo. While many coffee shops in Boston mimic each other, they fall short on delivering what Jaho does best--literally everything. They're open until 11PM on weekdays and 12AM Friday and Saturday. Who does that? Nobody. Except Jaho. Oh, and they have a full bar as well.

I'm so sorry to have to leave a 2 star review.... This place is super cute and looks like a wonderful place to set up to get some work done if you were local. The decor is absolutely adorable and trendy while the shop itself offers quite a variety of boba, coffee, desserts and alcohol. I was drawn in while I was on my walk back to the Sheraton. Who could pass up boba and ice cream after running the Boston Marathon? I was about to meet a friend in the lobby of my hotel in roughtly 10 minutes and figured I'd have some time to grab some surprise boba for everyone. The service was friendly, but here's where the stars start to fall away.... 1. The boba was EXPENSIVE! I'm from the Bay Area so for me to say boba is expensive in another state should give you an idea of how sorely over priced their drinks were. I understand there can be novelty boba, specialty boba with cotton candy, churros and the entire Disneyland Electric Parade attached to it but this was simply basic boba!!!! I spent $30 for 3 drinks including tax and tip. NEVER AGAIN. 2. The employee didn't seem to know much about the ingredients, allergen info etc. Because of that, it limited what I could pick since I didn't want any of my friends having GI issues later. 3. The service was excruciatingly SLOW!! I waited over 15 minutes for my order and the place was pretty empty at the time, with me being the only person in line. Their assembly process was not fluid at all compared to say Jamba Juice or pretty much any typical boba place. Don't get me wrong, if the place was packed with people, I wouldn't be so annoyed but it was empty!! 4. When the drinks were finally done, they set each of the three drinks of my To-Go Order on the counter with no thought of packing it up into a bag or carrier. I had to flag the employee down to ask for a tray and bag to set everything in. I totally get it if I had only ordered one or maybe even two drinks, but do you really expect someone to carry 3 drinks around in their arms or something? The employee looked annoyed when I asked for a carrier too. 5. The boba was just OK. It was not worth the price nor the wait. The texture of the boba was overcooked and kind of mushy. Only visit if you want a cute little spot to hang out and take pics for the gram. Their most basic drink (brown sugar boba) was pretty unimpressive, so I doubt the rest of their offerings will be anything to write home about. Sorry!

This applies to the other Boston location as well. I'll be honest, the only item I remember having at this artisan coffee shop is the French Toast iced latte, which is probably my top favorite type of latte I've ever had anywhere. It simply tastes amazing, very cinnamony and I think it might be the vanilla they use that's also sublime. If you're into iced coffee/lattes (which I've only recently discovered, weird I know, but never grew up drinking coffee, including in college or the few years right after) and into autumnal flavors like me, you owe it to yourself to try this out.

Disclaimer: I did not eat or drink at this establishment. Came in to find a glass of wine but the 2 at the counter were less than helpful. When I asked for info on their wines, the gal said they only serve one type and did I want red or white, the guy was no help at all. They simply pointed at a small corner of their menu with a few varietals but again, no more info. I had higher expectations for a place that claims to be a wine bar. Usually wine bars offer wine lists with winery name, varietal, location of winery, tasting notes and price.

Their drinks are hit or miss - the Iced Vanilla Latte this time was lukewarm and the flavor was watered down. The baristas are nice, but the dining area is always unkempt. A bit disappointed because it's such a nice place to study, decor is cute, and the packaging is on point. Just wish they paid more attention to cleanliness and quality of the drinks.

I heard good things about Jaho, and I was excited to stop by their location by the convention center one morning before my conference started. But TL;DR I ended up paying $7.50 for a small latte D: (And the hot pink cup was in nifty but not-very-professional-looking, so I was scrambling to finish it before heading to the conference) Jaho has a cool space, with tall ceilings and modern furnishings. It has trendy flairs but feels like a cozy local spot: exactly the type of place you would expect to be a coffee shop by day and wine bar by night. The menu has an extensive selection of drinks including lattes and teas, even boba (though I don't think I would order boba here). I got the SPANISH LATTE, which was quite delicious with the subtle espresso tones layered over velvety foamed soy milk and condensed milk for a mild sweet taste. A few points of feedback: - Menu has no prices. Jaho does have craft coffee that's up a notch from your typical Starbucks, but it would be nice to have an idea of pricing before you're stuck with at the register. It does add up too with the additional wellness fee, etc. - They had an impressive collection of plant-based milk options on display, so I asked for cashew milk. Turns out they didn't have that, so I asked for macadamia milk. Turns out they didn't have that either, so I gave up and just got soy.

Nice little shop. Stopped in to grab some breakfast on our way to the duck tour. Coffee was delish. Bagels made to order, got a sandwich and 2 with smear. Also got 2 Bobby teas (1 mango 1 green tea)

Food: Hands down one of the best matcha latte in town. Def a nice treat once in a while - I think that day I was craving something hot, refreshing, and needed a caffeine kick so I stopped for this matcha - I loved it! Perfectly sweetened, while I could still taste the strong matcha flavor. I also thought they added a good amount of ice. Plus the cup is really cute! General Overview: Honestly, it's pricey. The bathrooms in this place also are never the cleanest, used to go here before COVID when I was at NEU and they weren't the cleanest either. It's also pretty packed during the daytime/evening with students studying. However, it is a good place to grab a bite with friends for sure, but it's $$$ and a treat for sure.

Jaho is a cute lil' coffeeshop/wine bar with ample seating, an extensive drink menu, and a good atmosphere. This is usually my place of choice when I want to get some leisure reading done. It can get a little loud (yup, even in the mornings) because the music is just blaring overhead. I never had an issue with it because I usually read with music anyway, but I'm not sure if this would be a good spot for studying or doing homework. Their (non-alcoholic) beverage list offers a variety of hot and iced beverages, including boba! I had their iced vanilla chai latte during my last visit and it was just okay. I couldn't really make out the chai flavor and I think my latte was mostly made up of milk. I'd love to explore the rest of their menu sometime because a few did catch my eye, like their pumpkin chai latte!! Sign me up!

UPDATE: We discovered Jaho yesterday morning and have now been three times. I've had a regular latte, an iced Hanoi, and a Spanish latte, which is pretty much a dream in a cup. The BF says their flat white is the best he's ever had, and the teens in our charge report the boba teas are, and I quote, "frickin' amazing."

Iced latte = 3 stars, bagel w egg and cheese not bad. The latte has a funny aftertaste that's sort of caramel like and off putting. I've been going to the original Jaho in Salem for years, where the coffee is quite good, and the atmosphere is chill. This Jaho is all tarted up with alot of plastic seating, very fast casual. It's a huge space that looks nice but soulless, but seems to be immaculate. They also have some outdoor seating. Make no mistake though. If this area (behind Copley Place) wasn't tourist central I'm not sure this business would last.

Cute place.. has vegan options.. not crazy busy.. would recommend it.. close walking distance to the Marriott hotel..

I wanted to adore this place, but I only gave it two stars because the meal was so incredibly pricey and unworthy. The smoothies don't taste that great (I didn't even manage to finish it all). Smoothies were created, I believe, with powder rather than actual fruit. To make your drink appear mushy, they add crushed ice to it. I also had a Caesar salad, which I didn't particularly enjoy. Spend $11 on a tiny container that is dull and ugly green. The vegetables were old. The average wait time is 20 to 25 minutes. If everything was worth waiting for, I would agree with that. Once more, the food is good but not pricey enough.

I usually don't wright reviews, good or bad, but this one was exceptionally BAD. I wish I had taken a picture of my bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam. The bagel was swimming in the jam. And their freshly baked bagel was at least a week old. My son ordered chicken season wrap that had just a few pieces of chicken and a lot of lettuce. Horrible experience overall.

Visiting family here in Boston and staying at the Marriott nearby, I visited Jaho twice for breakfast during my stay. I had brewed coffee and a banana nut muffin one day, and a brewed coffee and an egg and cheese bagel the next. All was very good, fresh and prompt. The establishment is bright, clean and big, with many seating options if you want to dine in.

Fun environment and friendly staff even when very busy. Decent selection of bar drinks, including a few solid wines in their selection. Have also had a few of their sandwiches which were prepared quickly but also good size and very tasty. Worth a quick stop regardless of time of day to just relax for a few minutes and enjoy some conversation.

Ridiculously overpriced for what you get. We had a small cappuccino, a Coffee martini, and a tiny brownie and it was a little over $28 before tips. The cappuccino was just alright and the martini was on the weaker side. Def dont think I will be coming back tbh.

Great place to study, chill atmosphere. I like to try the seasonal lattes, the best so far being the cadbury creme egg and the Nutella! I like the breakfast sandwiches as well. Hoping to try the boozy drinks soon! I often order ahead on UberEats so the order will be ready when I get there!

Such a cute coffeehouse/wine bar! Came here for some morning matcha with almond milk and some places either make it too sweet or put too much milk. Jaho had a great balance of both so I was very satisfied! My boyfriend got a banana strawberry smoothie and it came in the cutest reusable cup ever. Great place and would definitely want to come back for their creative alcoholic beverages (bailey's cold brew, kahlua hot chocolate, dirty apple cider)!

Cute coffee shop/wine bar. Menu had an interesting choice of drinks from special espresso drinks to bubble tea. I got the Spanish latte (iced) and really liked it. The drink was creamy, not too sweet, and not overwhelmingly loaded with ice cubes. I wished that there were prices written next to the drinks on the menu. Other than that, I'd return to do some work out catch up with friends in the outdoor seating (around 6-8 tables).

Place was decent and the coffee looked good but unfortunately I didn't taste it because the barista was coughing and sniffling all over my coffee while he made it and I didn't want to catch whatever he had.
