Boston, MA According to The Kensington, a 27-story, 381-unit apartment tower,its onsite Jaho Coffee Roasters & Wine Bar is officially open for business, providing residents and passing pedestrians with a convenient upscale café and retail destination. Totaling 2,400 s/f, the shop will serve premium coffee, tea, and sandwiches by day, and an assortment of spirits, craft beers, over 200 fine wines, and artisanal small bites and dessert by night.

Featuring a unique interior designed by Stephen Sousa, principal and founder of Sousa Design Architects, The Kensington’s Jaho Coffee Roasters & Wine Bar fuses minimalist Japanese and Scandinavian elements through the abundant use of wood, bamboo tables, Caesarstone countertops, light colors, and clean, distinguished finishes. Additionally, the innovative café boasts a “coffee laboratory look,” which is highlighted through the stainless steel “slow bar” coffee and roasting station, industrial-style lights, and hand-blown glass lanterns hung throughout the space.

“The interior design of the new store was extremely important to us during the planning stages, taking nearly five months for our team to perfect and finalize,” said Anil Mezini, Owner of Jaho Coffee & Tea. “Our location at The Kensington provided the perfect expansion opportunity, as there is a significant amount of foot-traffic in the area from both residents of the apartment community and those traveling along downtown Boston›s bustling Washington Street. We look forward to elevating the coffee scene in Boston to the levels found in Tokyo, San Francisco, and New York City.”

The Kensington is managed by the Bozzuto Group.
