| - EDIT- tried the pour over, and wow. Nicely done! The coffee was so smooth.
OG post- Initially, I was very excited that a cafe closer in my neighborhood opened up. If I wanted to get some work done, I would usually have to drive a little further, so Jozo was and still is a welcome surprise.
The interior is intimately lit, but you're still able to study if that's what you're into. They went for the mid-century modern/industrial furniture style. It's very reminiscent of some World Market items I've seen before but that's besides the point. I feel like they put a lot of thought into creating a space that's comfortable/intimate/study-friendly for patrons who are just hanging out with friends or getting some work done.
The service is great. I was given some recommendations as well as a ton of help choosing what drink I would most likely enjoy. Everyone working there are very inviting, friendly, and professional. They explained that if you bring back your glass (the taller ones that is yours to keep), you can get 25 cents off your next purchase. It's a pretty novel idea since the only other place I'm aware of that does something remotely similar is Juice Standard.
The reason why I gave it 3 stars was because of my drink. I got an almond milk tea with almond milk and boba. The boba itself was chewy on the outside but more firm on the inside. It's not like a consistent chewy texture all the way through which is kind of disappointing. The drink itself also left a chalky texture after every sip which wasn't all too pleasant. I'm wondering if I just tried something that wasn't the popular/specialty things on the menu.
I plan on coming back to try the coffee and the waffle sticks, so hopefully, my opinion of Jozo will change come my next visit. Overall, the boba was disappointing but I have high hopes for their other drinks & menu items.
