Yely's Coffee Shop
284 Centre St, Jamaica Plain, MA
Crema's Take
“Yely's is a Jamaica Plain neighborhood staple with a welcoming warmth that keeps customers coming back, though consistency with both food quality and pricing remains a work in progress. The shop's authentic appeal shines through in moments—regulars rave about the aroma and comfort factor that can turn even a rough day around, though execution on classics like rice and protein sides needs tightening up. Best approached as a casual, quick-grab spot for traditional Caribbean-inspired drinks and bites rather than a refined dining experience.”

I really enjoy coming here. The food is good, but the price needs to be consistent. Today I had the worse experience because a staff member wants to disregard the signs saying minimum is $7 for a plate to charge me $10. Price has to be consistent. I only got 2 pieces of chicken a small amount of rice. How is tbat $10. I even got it in the small plate. Be consistent with your prices and not have your staff charge random prices for no reason. I came yesterday got the same amount of food ( actually More) I got into an argument got less food slowed the line down all while customers are telling your staff to not keep changing the price.
12/25: This place is amazing. Stop and shop pissed me off w my pick up order. Told them to refund my $400 and went right across the street. The smell of this place just took the aggravation completely away. Thank y'all! They always do me right and it's cool if you do not know Spanish lol
Their rice is always extremely burnt. On more than several occasions, I’ve biked home with some food only to discover that the rice was extremely burnt and completely inedible. It’s a shame because the rice actually tastes decent from here when it’s not burnt, but their quality control is absolutely horrendous. Maybe they’ve improved since then, but this happened to me so many times that I gave up on coming here entirely
Jelly restaurant usted to be good. I have good memories getting a order of fritura and it was good. Not anymore. The last two times I've been there has been disappointing. I would not go there anymore. and I don't recommend neither the fried beef or chicharones, tostones were cold. My friend and I. we both got chicharrones yesterday and I was pretty disappointed; what I got was a lot of grease that I couldn't even eat. just a couple pieces that were eatable the rest I put it on the trash. Unfortunately this is a place that I will take out of my list for chicharrones and tostones opocion.
