Ula Café

Nice little place. Turkey club was good. My 'friend' got the Vegan roasted veggie sandwich (pictured) which she she said was good. Food seemed really healthy so that's a big plus. 2 sandwiches a bag of chips and a bottle of coke for $30... sadly pretty close to normal these days but still seemed steep. Over $3 for a soda and over $3 for a small bag of chips. Seating is uncomfortable. Was pretty loud inside... Didn't love it but it's not my normal scene. I could see lots of people loving the place though. All that said it's a pretty nice place with a fairly small menu which indicates to me they can keep the food fresh. They have tons of options for drinks but that wasn't why we went there so don't know how good they are but I assume they are good. They have both vegetarian and vegan options so that's a plus.

I make a trip to Boston once or twice a year and I always go to Jamaica Plain and hit Ula Cafe for breakfast and or lunch. The staff is always cheery and welcoming. The cafe is black owned, locally owned and woman owned and very community driven. The food is always delicious and fresh and the iced matcha is delicious.

If you’re looking for the long and short of it, I highly recommend ULA for its great atmosphere and rich coffee. It’s not the atmosphere of a Cafe Nero or amazing blend of coffees like La Colombe, but it holds its own. There is a nice selection of vegetarian options, though I’m personally an eater of meats. The space is a mix between industrial and artsy with a nice array of local art hanging on the walls. I’m not a huge sandwich fan, but the decent selection of healthy bites and some unhealthy bites (with bacon) are fresh and delicious. Being a neighborhood place, the service is hipster friendly, as opposed to hipster “I don’t care if you’re alive, because I need to get back to my record player.” There’s a lot of space to meet or study (at a bar space with lots of plugs). The free WiFi is quick though for mail and casual web browsing. I’ve never had a bad experience there. And should you stick around for a bigger bite, walk 1 minute to Bella Luna!

The food was good but have some wait time. We went on Sunday afternoon for lunch after having couple of beers at Sam Adams. They have our door seating too. The place is hip and have artworks too inside. There were lots of people inside and outside of the place. And they welcome everyone without borders.

When you think of a neighborhood, community-oriented cafe, this is the shining example. Ula Cafe has lots of seating, homey art and pictures lining brick walls, and a vibe that is so comfy and lovely. Not to mention the scones which are just as good if not better than the other reviews claim! I’ve had lots of earl grey scones, but none as flavorful as this one, I could actually taste the tea and lavender strongly! The coffee was also great, at reasonable prices too. If you want a good place to study, do work, and have a phenomenal scone, Ula is the spot!

I've never been disappointed at Ula's. Both food, drinks and staff are excellent. I'm only able to visit when visiting my family in JP and it's always a must!

A JP staple with amazing staff, atmosphere & community gathering. The coffee club is the best program in town!
