A great coffee shop should not only have outstanding java and plenty to choose from on the menu, but also an honest vibe where you can languish over a cup of coffee with a friend for hours. Jaho Coffee and Tea has all of that nailed and more. Founder and barista Anil Mezini’s cafe is teeming with great energy, barrels of beans, and unique drinks. Be sure to sample the Extreme Toffee Coffee Frosticcino and the White Chocolate Mocha Espresso. » 197 Derby St., Salem, 978-744-4300, jahocoffee.com.

    Atomic Cafe in Beverly by a huge margin. Jaho has fancy equipment, but their roasting is suspect.

  95. Scottie on Fri, 8th May 2009 12:50 pm 

    Jaho is the best all-around by far. Such great selection and consistent quality. Don’t forget all the HOMEMADE goodies, like their fabulous gelato!

  96. hamit on Fri, 8th May 2009 2:10 pm 

    jaho coffeeeeeeee, on Derby st, salem, it’s not the drinks, or the sandwiches that make that place stand out, but it is the people, the new and familiar faces. when you get in, you know all the people there and they know you, even though no conversations have ever been started, and if by chance you see one of them somewhere else, just nod, smile and the connection is there, again bringing you back to Jaho. Try not to get a drink to go because you’re going to miss the real Jaho,

    see you there, and smile, I’ll know who you are…

  97. lydia on Fri, 8th May 2009 2:23 pm 

    jaho in salem

  98. Stacy on Fri, 8th May 2009 3:44 pm 

    JAHO COFFEE ALL THE WAY!!!

  99. Jim Farugia on Fri, 8th May 2009 6:07 pm 

    JAHO Coffee, Salem

    Jaho is amazing, probably the best coffee I’ve had, & I love coffee. My wife & I visit Salem about 5 times each year and always stop by Jaho daily for our coffee. During our last visit, in early March, we stopped by the new shop to try the siphon coffee. It was amazingly smooth & a fun experience. The only thing I can compare the experience to is like tasting a fine coffee, like you would taste and sip a fine scotch. The shop is great, and they have quite a selection. I look forward to stopping by during my next visit, this summer.

  100. Melissa Griffin on Fri, 8th May 2009 6:17 pm 

    Jaho by far! Great atmosphere, friendly faces, amazing coffee!

  101. Honor on Sun, 10th May 2009 5:10 pm 

    JAHO easily, I’ve been to Front Street and Fuel and their atmosphere isn’t quite right, still good but JAHO hit the nail on the head. Gulu Gulu is also really good but is almost always packed.

  102. Taylor M. on Sun, 10th May 2009 8:07 pm 

    Jaho in Salem Ma., by far the best in the North Shore, with an exelent selection of both coffe and tea Jaho is a great place to sit and enjoy a great cup of coffe with friends or grab breakfast or lunch. Jaho does not only sport an amzing menu but also a wonderful atmosphere in which to enjoy it, with its chic look and urban appeal Jaho relates to all of its customers. Not to metion the second location is the first coffe shop on the east coast to bring locals the eastrn delight of the siphon bar, not only is the brewing procces fun to watch but it also makes the perfect cup anytime you need a pick-me-up.

  103. Justin H. on Sun, 10th May 2009 8:41 pm 

    Jaho’s in Salem MA. is definitely the best in the North Shore. There is so much about Jaho’s that makes you feel so comfortable and to make you relax and enjoy well, anything that Jaho’s makes because how can u not enjoy it? Their coffee and tea are amazing! Jaho’s atmosphere and overall appearance can just make you feel better about your day and forget about all the bad things that might have happened that day. Once you take one sip of their coffee or tea you know you made the right choice coming to Jaho’s. I hope you all vote for Jaho’s to become the best coffee shop in the North Shore!

  104. Jenny Moriatis on Sun, 10th May 2009 10:31 pm 

    If coffee shop means good coffee & a social meeting place, you have to pick Jaho. The attention to detail is incomparable!

  105. Beth on Mon, 11th May 2009 12:41 pm

    Periwinkles of Salem, Mass has the best coffee, muffins, salads, and freshly baked and prepared food on the North Shore. Everything is made fresh from scratch. Even the bread is baked to Periwinkles specs. The clam chowder is the best and the lobster rolls are ALL lobster. It is a charming spot…
