If you are a cat lover (or just have a soul), Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody is a total must-visit. It's…read morea registered 501(c)3 nonprofit that shelters about 10 cats at a time, and you can instantly feel the passion Cora, Uri, and the volunteers have for rescue work. They've created a space that is the true definition of "mi casa es tu casa"--the cats basically own the place, roaming around freely while they rehabilitate and wait for their forever homes. It's so heartwarming to see them in such a chill, loving environment. What I appreciated most, though, was the educational side of the experience. They really take the time to highlight FIV kittens--which is basically the cat equivalent to HIV--and explain how they can live totally normal, happy lives with just a few standard precautions. Cora even touched on the biases that exist, even among vets, so I loved that I left not only feeling fuzzy from cat cuddles but also a lot more informed. Whether you're looking to adopt a new best friend or just want to spend some quality time with some kitties, I highly, highly recommend checking this place out and supporting their mission! As for food, you can bring in anything you'd like and if you're there for their tail thumping thursdays, you can also order delivery to it. They cannot serve food due to local laws and guidelines. They do have packaged snacks and drinks you can purchase to enjoy. In addition, they have merch you can also purchase. All purchases, including tickets, help fund the nonprofit.

Oh and the jams that go with it are outrageously good. Get the Aretha so you can sample them all. The pepper jelly is outstanding. We did manage to get the last biscuit so come early because they do run out. The rest of the pastries looked good but we didn't get a chance to try them. They even put jam in their coffee to truly live up to their name. The iced jam coffee with blueberry jam is a must. Their ice matches also look delicious. Loved the vibes of the place. They definitely nail the 3rd place community atmosphere with lots of fun decor that compliments the live music stage they have set up. They even have two small rooms for groups to gather. Note they do not encourage working out of the space and do not offer public WiFi.

I was impressed by the flavor of the biscuit, so make sure to get one of those. - my husband got the pop tart and we enjoyed it! Cons - we arrived at 10am on a weekday in August and many things were sold out - lattes were okay. I had a specialty blueberry one and it seemed like it had blueberry jam with bits of blueberries in it. Seating options for small and large group inside ranging from tables, couches and stools. One table of four outside. Parking lot has a good amount of spots but they were almost all taken and it wasn't packed inside.

We finally got the chance to check out Kuya Jay's Ube Cafe in Somerville, Massachusetts, and it…read moreabsolutely did not disappoint! I can honestly say it's one of the best little cafes we've ever visited. I had never tried ube before, and for anyone unfamiliar like I was, it's a purple yam. I ordered the Banana brulee Cold Foam, and it was incredibly refreshing and packed with the perfect blend of flavors, topped with fresh bananas. It was absolutely delicious! The bread completely surprised me. It was evenly baked, incredibly moist, and somehow crafted to pure perfection. The ice cream was a treat as well, but honestly, everything we tried was phenomenal. We can't wait until our next trip to Massachusetts just so we can enjoy a few more bites. I also loved the purple theme throughout the cafe, although maybe I'm a little biased since purple happens to be my birthstone! One of my favorite touches was the owners' book, where you can see pictures and learn more about their story. It really adds a personal touch to the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we would definitely recommend this place for a quick snack, dessert, or beverage. There is some temporary street parking available as well. If you're in the area, Kuya Jay's Ube Cafe is absolutely worth a visit!

The wait wasn't too bad and the menu had a good selection of ube flavored drinks and treats. The spot is located in this public space with nice lighting and some seating. The area also does cooking classes and has some areas to study. I actually got two drinks to try both and they were tasty - not amazing, but not bad given the price. Overall, I didn't mind the experience, but I have seen some troubling things online regarding permits that deter me from coming back unfortunately. Drinks tasted fine though!

Both the cornbread muffin and quiche were tasty and fresh. Comes with berries and yogurt as a side. Note these are kids portions. They also have a nice selection of smoothies and ice / drip coffee (no espresso drinks though). Kid safe utensils and plates are also provided. The play area has a variety of toys and books to entertain little ones. There is a warm and inviting ambience and everything is neat and organized despite all the kids. Worth a visit if you are in JP with your kids and need a breakfast or lunch spot for them. Make sure you check their hours though. I believe they are closed Mon and Tue.

We tried two drinks, a lunch sandwich, + hash browns: - strawberry matcha latte - iced lychee jasmine tea - lil chic sandwich (maple syrup fried chicken, hash browns, & melted cheese on an English muffin) The English muffin sandwich was room temperature. Chicken patty was room temperature, guessing it is frozen store bought. So, it wasn't very satisfying to eat to be honest. But funny enough, the cajun tater tots were hot lol. (They're separate dishes that they put together in a to-go box) The drinks were decent. Not the best matcha I've had in the city. Jasmine tea taste was apparent so I liked it! It had canned lychee & lychee popping boba. Both drinks had a lot of ice. It normally takes me a while to finish a drink but I was finished with the lychee tea within a few sips. For the price, I don't personally think their drinks + food are worth it. Drinks had wayyy more ice than drink & sandwich was cold, with the exception of the hash browns being hot! Don't think I will be returning any time soon unfortunately. Really a 2.5/5 but the service was good, so I will give it a 3.

Great place, nice owner, good vintage pieces, and good prices. They had a lot of stuff…read more Definitely worth it.

Don't believe the hype. This store is NOT worth a trip to New Bedford…read more It's not because they don't have plenty of vintage clothes -- they do. It's just that 80% of their stock SUCKS. It's cheap and ugly vintage -- it's the stuff no one wants that would be left behind at a garage sale. Think heavy woolen overshirts from the 1950s and 1960s that fit poorly, look bad, and make you sweat, or old ugly polyester suits that were cheap when they were made and still look just as cheap. There are live moths and plenty of moth holes on the clothes here. Compare the price of 1970s blazer in mint condition -- here it's 85 bucks, at Goodwill in Boston, it's 8 bucks. The inventory of this store might be good if you're making a Scorcese period movie or for Halloween, but you're unlikely to wear anything that's here on a day-to-day basis. Most of the clothes here are HEAVY (physically heavy), and the racks are all so stuffed you can't look at anything without practically ripping it out of the rack, and then forget about trying to put it back. It's like the owner is afraid to throw anything away. This store would do much better if it were closer to Boston, or if it was in New York. Then maybe there would be far more turnover, hipper pieces, and fewer moths. If you want to see an exemplary vintage menswear store, check out Crowley Vintage in Brooklyn or Pick n Weight in Berlin. Don't get me wrong, I see what the store owner is trying to do here, and maybe 25 years ago, this was where it was at. But the world -- including the vintage world -- has changed, and this store's inventory is stuck in the past -- and not in a good way.
