J'Way Cafe Opens in Jamaica Plain

A Southern-style dining spot has opened in a rather unusual space in Jamaica Plain. According to the website of Jamaicaway Books & Gifts on Centre Street in the heart of this Boston neighborhood, J'Way Cafe has opened downstairs from the store, featuring an eclectic mix of soul food, Creole, and Cajun fare, as well as other Southern dishes. The menu at J'Way Cafe includes chili, gumbo, jambalaya, sandwiches (pulled pork, Jamaican jerk chicken, catfish, and more), beans and rice, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, and tea cakes. Prices for menu items are well under $10.

[August 12 update: Hours for J'Way Cafe had initially been a bit limited, but have now expanded to the following: Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Sundays from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.]
