The Boston Phoenix
Comedians love the idea of making cafés sound like inhospitable drug dens filled with faux-intellectual snobs and vile snacks, but some cafés easily put that stereotype to shame. ULA CAFÉ in Jamaica Plain is one such establishment, where the atmosphere and food alone are enough reason to make the trip. Ula offers a wide variety of sandwiches, desserts, and drinks served by baristas who practically ooze charm. Plus, there’s plenty of room to have a seat and enjoy that brownie and café latte, which are surely two of the most delicious things you’ve ingested all week. Hint: go for the sweet-potato sandwich.

The Boston Globe: On a recent Friday, it thrummed with life. At Ula Café, cheery servers dispensed sweet potato sandwiches and tortilla soup so good you could climb into it.
Boston Phoenix: If there’s one bastion of independent operators worth saving in this world, it’s the neighborhood café. Ula Café, one such indie, located in the Brewery complex in Jamaica Plain, has all the fundamentals: great coffee and tea, very fine baked goods, free Wi-Fi. But what might surprise you is how good its other food is…
