First Lobster roll of the season. I couldn't help myself even though we were at a coffee shop/ market (Jakes) going through a drive through. 12.99 looked small but it basically was a whole tail of the lobster so that was a bonus. Light mayo. Tasty but kinda basic. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't crave another. RATING: 4/10 Keith said thats what I get for going to a coffee shop. No regrets though. read more

Stopped in on my way home. Cute little cafe with a warm atmosphere. The employee who took our order and made our coffees was super nice! Service was overall pretty great, as the food came out pretty quickly too. We got two breakfast sandwiches. I loved mine and so did my partner! I got the maxwell (I think) and the pesto was delicious. read more

Before getting back on the highway for a semi long drive, I needed some caffeine first! I stopped at Jake's Coffee Company, which located is next to Jake's Car Wash, just off I-89 at Exit 19. The place looks very nice from the outside and the atmosphere inside is very relaxed and the place is clean. They also have a drive up window, a good place to grab some coffee, food, and get your vehicle washed all on the same site. OFFERINGS: Jake's Coffee Company offers hot and iced drinks including several varieties of fresh brewed coffee (Java Tree of Manchester), cappuccino, lattes, mochas, chai tea, and smoothies. Torani flavor syrups (13) are also available including vanilla, raspberry, hazelnut, almond, blueberry, coconut, ginger, cheesecake, and others. Juices, milk, and soda available too. They also sell pure honey straws and dan's chocolates. The prices here are in line with other coffee places including Starbucks and Seattle Coffee (inside Borders). As for food, they offer breakfast sandwiches, wraps, paninis, salads, local bakery items, bagels, yogurt, and fresh fruit cup. I decided to keep it simple since I already had dinner and got a large Blueberry Coffee ($1.85 plus tax) for the road. The cup of coffee was strong and had a very robust flavor, nice!!! Just what I needed to stay alert on I-89 and I-93 too! HOURS: 6AM-6PM read more

We found this place because luckys was closed, on tuesdays, let's not discuss how random that is. This place is adorable and a drive thru! Which in retrospect, we should have done. I got a Nutella mocha which at first tasted very bland, but as I kept drinking, got better. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, the firecracker wrap and the salmon, caper, cream cheese bagel. About 20 minutes later we were informed our order "got lost." This is why three stars instead of 5. Ended up waiting about 45-50 minutes for the order. Firecracker was delicious... everything else good. They were super nice about it and felt awful, even offered a free muffin (which I politely declined.) would go back but would do the drive thru next time. read more

Been here a couple times. First time I waited too long so I left. This time it was still a pretty good wait. Ordered Turkey club. Bread burnt. I don't mind that but most people wouldn't. Taste were a 5 out of ten. Service was ok. They tried to give us someone else's order lol. Don't recommend. read more

I am so pleasantly surprised to find this treasure! The coffee is amazing. I bought some whole beans to bring home. I had an everything bagel with lox and chive cream cheese and onion. It's been a long time since this Jewish girl has had such good lox and bagels in this area! Customer service was excellent and the staff are pleasant, helpful, and proud of the business and what they offer. I live an hour away but look forward to coming back when I am down here. Oh! And they have a huge gluten free selection of bagels, wraps, pastries etc if you want or need gluten free foods. read more

This place has the best breakfast sandwiches and smoothies. I think I got a sandwich and a smoothie all under $10 which is unheard of plus the woman who served us was such a sweetheart. For sure coming back read more

Welcomed, served amazing food, and ate some more! The vibe of this chain cafe is amazing. Very full setup from drinks, coffee, breakfast and lunch foods, to the more than calm and collective staff. After eating a monster of a breakfast sandwich, I decided to move onward to the Firecracker meal. Beyond spicy and taste! I'd come here again with kids and for a date morning with the wifey anytime. read more

I have no clue why this place has bad reviews. Jakes has been my ride or die any time of day. They have amazing bagels and my dog always gets a treat when I bring him. They are so friendly and I would say maybe the only thing I have is that the salads aren't my favorite but everything else makes up for it. read more

We stopped here during a road trip and we were so surprised with how high quality all the food was. Everything was simple but delicious and we left very satisfied. It was exactly what we were looking for when all of our other options were dunkin' and mcdonalds. The workers were very nice and if I'm ever over there again, I'll definitely go back. read more

Every time I go to our cabin in northern New Hampshire I have to take Rt 91 back. Just so I can stop at one of my favorite coffee shops. Jake's Coffee Co has delicious treats and wonderful ice coffee. The staff is always.friendly and accommodating. read more

Wow a coffee place that has a car wash and a drive-thru! I got one of the best vanilla cafe lattes I have ever had. The muffin which was a walnut cranberry is so incredible! The staff clearly multi task and this place puts so many coffee shops to shame. I overheard Later in the year they offer milkshakesI! I I am a super fan of this place! read more

Always so friendly! Never tried something I didn't like! Even when an order was messed up, they acted quickly to correct it!

I stopped by this place for it's super convenient drive through. I ordered a chai tea latte with oat milk and a breakfast sandwich on a Portuguese muffin. I loved the breakfast sandwich! read more

Jake's has a drive-thru. This alone helps them edge out most of the other local coffee shops in our area. it's a place that's really appealing to someone commuting to work and they're just too good to give-in and get Dunkin Donuts. At the same time, Jake's is a bit expensive if you're into add-ons. Once you go Soy and add Vanilla to your latte, you're in for a sticker shock. They charge for additional "things" in your drink so prepare for that. They're fairly quick through the drive-thru, there's very limited seating and no place to plugin and charge. If you're someone that wants to write a paper and sip espresso, Jake's probably isn't it but for a bagel and coffee en route to work, they work pretty well. read more

I been all over the country multiple times. The Wrj va brought me here. I was always looking for a place to replace Starbucks and Dunkin' and I found it here. This shop makes coffee that I'm not worried about what is in it and they serve food that I don't worry about gaining a lot of fat or that it's going to give me a heart attack. The employees are so nice and treat you like a human not just a number. It's more like a home cook meal than a business. read more

I have been coming here sporadically since changing veterinarians to Stonecliff, next door. I didn't know what to expect but it's like a mom and pop cafe, but with a drive through. They are fairly speedy with your orders and have a HUGE menu. The reason why I come here is that they have a pretty good variety of gluten free options and carry not one but THREE kinds of gluten free breads! Prices are reasonable and the cashiers are very friendly. They have free WiFi too so you could actually come here and study. Coffee is served similar to Dunkin Donuts but I think it is a thousand times better. I just say this because they will fix the cream and sugar for you and they have a bit of a heavy hand. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend this as a brunch spot but I definitely pop in and would stay and study. read more

Quick friendly service. I had the New Hampshire/maple latte... absolutely delicious - we also had the salmon and lox which was affordable and delicious. Good pitstop after hiking! read more

Had a horrible flat white about 3 months ago. Close friend asked to meet at Jake's. I figured I would give it another try Arrived for a coffee with the a friend. Staff was nice, but a express with milk poured in it does not make a cappuccino. Want a coffee black or with milk, don't bother with specialty coffees Order breakfast sandwich on a Portuguese with bacon. The bacon was about 3 inches long. Really. read more

My husband and I ordered a mocha latte and a cappuccino and we had half a cup of liquid in both. We paid 9$, to get a majority of it foam. Wouldn't get anything but coffee here. My husband enjoyed the taste of his but my mocha was stuck on the bottom. Wouldn't really recommend this place. read more

This place is the SPOT! I am so happy my boyfriend and I stopped by here on our way to VT. Jake's Coffee is definitely my new favorite breakfast/lunch spot in the area. The bang bang buffalo chicken sandwich on chitbatta was much better than anticipated and very filling. I look forward to trying their other paninis in the future . I also tried their sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese the following day and was yet again blown away by how good it was. This place exceeds expectations ! You should definitely check it out :) read more

Loved hearing the history of the namesake for this establishment. Server was great with awesome suggestions. Quick service for togo meal and coffee on way to hit the ski slopes. read more

The sausage egg and cheese on a Portuguese muffin is the best breakfast sandwich in town. However, I shed a tear for the loss of the Lou's maple cruller...the new maple donuts are good, but pale by comparison! read more

This is a solid, locally owned, coffee house with a nice selection of pastries and sandwiches for lunch. Quaint atmosphere with quick, free wifi. Service was fast and friendly. They even have a drive through. To address some of the earlier reviews I read, do not let the negatives keep you from trying this place. My late was hot and tasted great. I used the rest room, and it was very clean. As for the counter girl, she was very nice. Maybe some people came on an "off day?" This place is so much better than a carbon copy ghettobucks. If I'm in the area again, I will be back. read more

Laying down an independent attribute-based rating system for Jake's. Visited 8 out of the past 10 mornings, and 5 out of 10 for lunch as it's located less than a mile from my present work site. Drip-coffee: 3. Decent enough. Espresso-based: 3. Passable. Inconsistent - depends upon who's working. My guess around coffee overall: Crew needs some training. Food: 4. Salads, sandwiches, bagels, smoothies. My fave so far is salt bagel with lox, cream cheese and capers. They load up the salmon - yum! Jake's carries local Walpole Creamery ice cream; can't go wrong there. Prices are reasonable, with the most expensive food item at $6.50. Staff: 5. They rock. Super people. Even the emo guy I've dubbed Smoky who has made getting a laugh out of him my new daily goal. Achieved, mostly. Scene: 4. Clean and bright. Mom and Pop Everybody would like it. Spotless restroom. Hours: 2. Ick - the 6 pm close coffee shop standard around here. Locale: 5. 1/4 mile off I-89 for travelers and passers-by. Car wash next door. Grab a cup, hose down the van, jump back on the road. I met cool people here this past weekend doing exactly that. See ya in the morning, at the window. read more

I frequent Jakes when I'm in the area every 6-8 weeks, I'm a sales rep. Ordered a lemonade a few minutes ago , didn't taste right so I went back in and asked them to check the date on the container. It appears everything that was in the fridge was past fresh date. Really? I should get sick because someone is too lazy to do their job ?? I wasn't even offered a "we're sorry ." Wow. Someone needs a lesson in customer service , and I'll have to rethink where I'll stop in this area. read more

We decided to give Jake's another try. The (formerly) angry adolescents are still there, but they seem to have undergone a change of attitude. When we arrive they generally say hello (or at least "What can I get for you?" instead of "What do you want?"). That's a very welcome change of pace. The coffee and most pastries continue to be good. We're not a fan of cake-like brownies, but if you like them then this is your spot. Normally we stick to the crullers or cinnamon rolls -- both brought in from Lou's, I believe. At lunch, the chicken salad (which has both grapes and raisins in it, so it's rather sweet) is tasty when served on a Portuguese muffin. Jake's also uses McNamara milk, and not the convenience store jugged stuff, which is great. I can now honestly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch. read more

4 stars for coffee and 2 for service make an average of 3. This is the first (and last) time I come here. I walked in and the girl behind the counter was yawning and just stared at me, waiting for me to order. I ordered an expresso machiatto which ended up quite decent, a bagel and a bottle of st. pellegrino. She have me the bottle unopened. I asked whether she had a bottle opener and she said "no." I waited for her to come up with a solution or at least discuss one, but she didn't. So I asked how I was supposed to get the bottle opened and she was obviously annoyed and said she'll try to open it with a lighter. Another guy working there finally opened it with a spoon :). A customer walked in with a bottle opener on her key chain and the waitress offered to open the beverage the customer purchased with the customer's bottle opener! A pity for the service cause the place looks okay. Although I'll say that a car wash and coffee house don't seem like the most fortunate match :) read more

Stopped on our trip up to Vermont. The place had good reviews so we thought we'd give it a shot. My mom got a cafe mocha (I don't drink coffee and I thought it was yummy!) and she loved it. We split a piece of the cinnamon walnut cake and loved it. If we come back this way, we'll definitely stop again. read more

Stopped in wanting a quick bite and coffee... but not wanting a chain place... It's exactly what we got! Directly off exit 19, so it was very easy to swing in to. Delicious, fast, and friendly - so good! I had a coffee and breakfast wrap which was fresh and delicious. Husband had a bagel, and he thought it was great too! Cookies for the car ride home were yummy :) Lots of treats, menu was decent size, we will definitely be in again! read more

Friendly and welcoming! Great coffee too. Recently relocated and felt comfortable. Great for visitors and locals.

I'm a fan of Jake's and believe that the founder has accomplished his goal of creating community through his endeavor. Thanks for the gluten free. read more

What a wonderful find!! I was traveling with my family on vacation and they were clamouring for something to eat. I missed the exit where all the well known fastfood restaraunts were located so I took the next exit and immediately saw Jakes Coffee Company. We decided to give it a try and very happy that we did. The place is very charming and has an upscale but cozy feel about it. They have a wide variety of sandwiches and drinks. The staff was friendly and efficient. We each had a sandwich which were all excellent!! We'll definately remember this place and make it a point to stop by again when we are traveling through. read more

This is probably the best coffee and sandwiches in the lebanon area which really isn't saying much. For that reason I'll give them two stars instead of one. However, their biggest downfall is the customer service. I wait at least 5 minutes before I'm even addressed as a customer. Then, I watch as the employees take and complete orders at the drive thru and ignore me. Learn to multi task. Management where are you? Terrible inefficient service. read more

4.5- A review from 2010 talked about inconsistent espresso drinks. idk about back then but they do a great job making cappuccino now. I've been there like 10 times recently and they've all been fantastic, foamy and dark and delicious. Donuts they have are great too. I don't really do much else there but I've heard good things about the bagels. Was not a huge fan of the regular coffee I had there once. To my taste it was a good but a bit weak. Overall highly recommend read more

Absolutely will not visit again. Latte was bitter and unpleasant tasting. Worse was the fact that the restroom was disgustingly dirty (toilet, floor, basin) and no soap or cleanser. Didn't take pics because I didn't have my phone with me, but it really was filthy. Tossed the coffee after three sips. read more

Great coffee, food and service. Adam works hard in the kitchen... my veggie panini was fantastic! A great crew... graceful under pressure, too, as they were very busy when I came in today. I'll be back! read more

Wow, words cannot describe my gratitude for this place. Here's the thing, I needed to find a good bagel shop because I eat bagels almost daily so it added up, this has been my place. The variety and flavors have never failed me in any mood. I must say that one time a worker at the drive through said "tell me when I can take your order." so I said "okay" and then she goes "okay hold on." i'm just saying in my opinion that wasn't professional. I shall let that pass though. They give me a very reasonable amount of peanut butter or cream cheese on everything which has been very nice. I also appreciate how warm and that it is ready to eat when I get it. Highly recommend. read more

Local and delicious. Skip the all-chain nonsense at the West Lebanon exit and head to Jake's. Had a turkey panini which was crisp, hot, and fresh. Cheesecake brownie was moist and flavorful. Good cup of strong coffee. Nice little cafe area to sit in. Enjoyed this spot and will be back. read more

Barista was a little awkward. Did not great me. Just stared at me and blinked after I said something to her and I had to ask again. They advertise as having "fruit smoothies". Something I have seen on the interchangeable sign outside. When I asked what "Fruit purée" was I was shown a bottle of what looked like artificial fruit flavoring and high fructose corn syrup that would be added to ice. No thank you. I am extremely disappointed. Very small space. Not comfortable. The only purpose I would see would be for traveling business people who need a quick quiet place spot to stop for wifi. If they have it... Quiet because it doesn't look like they get much business. Nothing looked worth sticking around for so I left and went to white river junction. Will not be coming back. Would not recommend. You're better off going to Maplefields. It is a shame I left disappointed. I would come back if they used real fruit. This community does not have any juice/smoothie bars and I would be very happy to see one. If they have the equipment they might as well just buy some frozen fruit... read more
