Jadu
About
Jadu is a Jamaica Plain cafe on Centre Street that serves coffee by day and runs as a wine bar in the evening. The owners set out to create a welcoming third space where neighbors can gather, meet by chance or enjoy time alone. The menu takes inspiration from gathering places around the world, such as the chai stalls of Mumbai, seaside lunches in Beirut and the tapas bars of Barcelona.
The business began in 2023 as a series of wine-focused pop-ups around Boston. In February 2024 the founders signed a lease on the former Espresso Yourself space, and Jadu opened as a neighborhood coffee shop that December. Wine bar service followed in June 2025, adding evening service. The goal is for food, drinks and atmosphere to blend into an experience where guests can come in and take a load off.
