Jojo’s Coffee & Tea

I was looking for good coffee in New Haven stopped by Jojo café. I ordered a latte nothing too extravagant it was decent and a way better choice than Dunkin’ Donuts next-​door

Even though I love to venture to other cafés, Jojo’s is my go-​to. The staff is always more than friendly and their pistachio muffin is bae. It’s also a great environment to do some school work.

Cute little spot to get cozy and warm up. I’ve been here a few times. The creamy cinnamon tea was great, as was the honey ginger lemon tea. Quiet and comfortable with a great drink selection, this place is a gem.

The absolute worst coffee place ever. Waited twenty minutes for an ice coffee bagel and muffin as the owner would not stop talking to her father. Bagel sat and got cold. Husbands muffin forgotten. Coffee was awful. Go to Dunkin donuts across the street. Better quality and quicker service.

This place is known for their chai latte, so why do I keep getting the bubble tea? I seem to always arrive when the chai is out, which is a bummer, but that’s not why I gave them a 3 star rating. They have a large bubble tea sign and it always looks good, but the boba/​tapioca balls are not good. The teas are fine, but I’m expecting semi-​sweet, chewy, almost bouncy-​textured boba balls instead of semi-​hard, flavorless, gummy-​textured that clings to my teeth. I’ll try the coffee next time.
I appreciate the air conditioning though.

Nice atmosphere and really good bubble tea! their prices are pretty cheap too!

Jojo’s is one of my favorite coffee shops in new haven. The coffee is ALWAYS good. the staff is always so nice and cheery. I really like the honey ginger lemon tea very much, as well as their bubble teas and that they let you substitute the tapioca balls with mango ones instead. lychee bubble tea w mango balls– so good!!! It’s very cozy inside and the atmosphere is the best. the only bad thing is that sometimes it is realllly hot inside.

Great atmosphere, great food… I come here usually for coffee or bubble tea and I love both! For many of the bubble teas, they use real fruit which is rare. Can’t say enough good things!

Don’t get the hazelnut bubble tea. It was honestly one of the worst bubble teas I have ever had. The bubbles were unchewable– they tasted like balls of plastic, not the typical tapioca texture whatsoever. The actual tea itself was better than the tapioca pearls, but still one of the worst teas I’ve tried. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the bubble tea. The complementary wifi is nice, though slow, and the place itself is fairly nice to stay for a while at.

I’ll keep this short and sweet:
FINALLY, I have found good coffee in New Haven, and it is at Jojo’s. So happy/​relieved this place exists.

Jojo’s is the first tea and coffee shop I visited during my time as a student here at Yale and I keep going back. My husband loves their coffee, to me it’s very potent and has a strong brew. I personally like their chai lattes and matcha latte. I always get those when I am there studying or hanging out. I also love getting their bagels with cream cheese, perfect for 8.30am classes since they open at 8am. Another favorite item is their chicken salad sandwich which has a bit of blue cheese inside which I feel elevates the taste. The owner is friendly, there is wifi, free water and a very clean bathroom. It’s my perfect go to spot for meetings, catching up with friends and doing some work.

This is one of my favorite cafes in New Haven to study at. It has a nice casual feel where you don’t feel pressured to leave, but it’s bustling enough that you don’t feel like you’re the only person there.
My only complaint is that at peak hours it can be a little cramped, but then again I’m a fan of my personal space. Internet is decent — I’ve never had a problem.
Ginger lemon tea is good, but anything that tasty might have a little more sugar than I should be drinking each day. The good news is they have plenty of other very tasty tea options. I had their Pu-​er tea and it was good.
Bubble tea isn’t as good as the kind you get in Taiwan, Cali, or other Asian-​heavy places, but that’s to be expected. It was still decent.
One star off for cramped space, but that’s mostly because it’s too popular.

Jojo’s is a cozy little café that has a decent amount of seating and a wide variety of tea, coffee, and sandwich options.
I met up with a friend for tea and we both ended up getting the matcha latte. The server brought out the drink promptly and there was a cute, white heart on top of the drink as latte art. I liked how it wasn’t as sweet as some of the other matcha lattes that you get from other cafes (I’m looking at you, Starbucks). The drink could have been hotter, but in the middle of January it was a welcome relief from the cold outside. It is also competitively priced for its size, a tall mug totaled $ 3.83.
I was intrigued by the pastry/​dessert selection and have also heard great things about their sandwiches so I plan on coming back. Overall, if you’re looking for a study spot or a place to chat with friends, Jojo’s is as good an option as any in the New Haven area.

Great little place to sit down and have a cup of coffee, or tea, or espresso… or anything else you can think of! Plus they have carrot cake! I suggest you try the matcha latte. It isn’t too sweet (which I find is the downfall of many cafes) and you really get the taste of the matcha in there.
My one complaint is that it can take a little bit longer to get your drink.

I will be sick in bed on the other side of the country and have dreams about their homemade ginger lemon tea. That’s how good it is. No exaggeration. It’s the most amazing tea I’ve ever had. I always stop by here whenever I am in town and get it. With real pieces of ginger and the perfect combination of sweet sugar and tart lemon with a thin layer of foam on top (how do they get tea to foam?), it is perfection in a cup.
The ambiance is great, service fantastic, and their other beverages and food items are also of great quality BUT go here for the homemade lemon ginger tea and under no circumstances will you be disappointed.

I joined two friends for a morning coffee/​tea at Jojo’s on a Sunday morning around 9:45am. I must say, they boast a huge beverage selection! I debated between ordering coffee or tea for a while, before settling on a pot of Big Red Robe oolong tea.
At this hour, the line to order was growing. The two ladies working behind the counter seemed pleasant but slightly overwhelmed, as they busily worked to provide orders within a reasonable amount of time. My order didn’t take long; after a couple of minutes, I was gushing over the teapot and sipping my tea.
The tea was served in an adorable, personal pot, along with a little glass cup and saucer. I adored it! It reminded me of a Canadian coffee shop from my childhood, where cups of tea were served beautifully. The tea was flavourful and brewed well.
It was a relatively busy morning rush until 10:30am or so, where the lines became smaller and more seats were available. When I arrived, my friends had already secured three chairs and a table, so I’m not too sure of the seating challenges during the tail-​end of the morning rush.
I would come back here for the following reasons:
–The tea set. Those little pots are too cute for words! It’s my favourite thing about this place.
–The vast coffee and tea selection at reasonable prices (Just over $ 3 for my pot of tea). You could probably request that they add more hot water after finishing the first pot — then you could muster a second, albeit watered down, pot of tea)
–The ambiance and cozy environment.
Verdict:
Will absolutely return! I’m very excited in ordering a latté with coffee art.

I just recently discovered this place and I really love it. It has a good selection of drinks as well as snacks, lots of seating and just an overall good vibe.
I tried the cinnamon cream tea after a friend recommended it and it was exquisite.
I’ll definitely be going back.

Very impressed with the coffee at Jojo’s. I generally don’t prefer overly acidic, fruity coffees but theirs has a bright, intense flavor while still retaining that earthy element of good dark roasts. The coffee alone is enough to bring me back, but the space itself is very dark – I’ve been here at 1:00 pm on a Saturday and could barely see across the room. Going back outside into the afternoon sunlight felt like emerging from hibernation. The tables are scattered around the periphery of the room, which makes it a little difficult to navigate, but the seating is comfortable and there are a fair number of electrical outlets if you brought a laptop.
Their sandwiches are tasty, but unfortunately not nearly as good as Book Trader or Atticus or a few other nearby coffee places. Still, if you’re looking for well-​made coffee and a dim, quiet location to work or study, it’s an excellent choice.

Definitely feels like a college-​town coffee shop, where all the tables are full of young adults who appear to have been there all day. Not sure what it takes to get a table!
Nonetheless, I did like their subtle yet strong coffee. It really gave me the pick-​up I was looking for!

I would like to believe that it is NOT because I am no longer a college student that I don’t dig this spot on any level.
I’m spoiled I’d guess bcz Portland OR serves absolutely ridiculously amazing coffee! This excuse wouldn’t even be aloud across state lines.
Where to begin…
Grimy. Stodgy. Crammed seating. Disorganized. Hodgepodge eclectic. This place looks like it needs a solid scrubbing.
The pastries, bagels, desserts appeared to be removed from the Sysco wrapper last Tuesday. Yuk.
Multiple chalk boards rammed w lists of exotic teas & coffee concoctions. But…
The cappuccino I attempted to drink was just plain awful. The coffee smelled rancid not roasty toasty fresh. It wasn’t even hot. And the milk to coffee ratio was more like a weak latte.
This isn’t «hipster» it’s a D-​lister.
