I stopped in to JoBot this morning to grab a tea and study. I had been told by classmates that it was a perfect place to be productive. They definitely recommend it as their number one coffee shop.
I was pleased with my mint green tea-- although I don't think that teas are typically a good representation of a place's overall product. As far as the atmosphere, the music was way too loud to get any studying done. Also, I felt extremely overdressed in business clothes. It would be the perfect place to come spend the day and hang out, possibly working on a craft project, or something that can be done with loud music on (there were people there working on a paper arts project). I didn't find it the best place to study difficult material though.
4/5 overall (bonus point for location, and being in a historic building)
2/5 for a place to study or be productive
