Boilerworks Cafe

BOILERWORKS HAS MOVED! Same great coffee, same great smiling faces. Boilerworks is on the far end of their old location by the National Hotel. Their new little nook is so quaint, love the room across the way for puzzles, books and gathering. The owners are always so nice. I like to avoid the chain coffee spots where I can and Boilerworks is my first stop before strolling Main St.

Nothing beats grabbing an iced coffee on a lovely spring afternoon. I was in Jackson for some errands and wanted to check out the local coffee shop. It's been on my list for a while, but every time I wanted to go, it's been closed. Be forewarned that Boilerworks closes at 3 pm daily. The cafe sits in a quiet area at the end of Main Street, so it can be somewhat easy to miss. I ordered one of their specialty drinks, dubbed The Artemus, which is a hazelnut dirty chai with caramel sauce. There were no photos on Yelp showing the current menu and prices (until now as I'm sharing a photo of the menu), so I was a bit surprised by the cost of my drink. For a small town, I wasn't expecting to pay almost $10 for my chai. Note that I'm used to higher drink prices as I have plenty of boba, but none of my boba drinks have ever cost $10, however. I took it with a grain of salt and chalked it up to supporting a local small business. The nice lady/cafe owner made my Artemus for me super quickly, as I was the only customer. Her black Lab, which was adorable, was sleeping by her desk when I walked in. Upon receiving my drink, I took a seat outside at one of the metal stools. I didn't see the bookstore featured in the Yelp photos, so next time I'll have to return to check it out. The Artemus had a good flavor and thankfully, for the price, my cup was not full of ice (like some other big chain coffee place *cough cough*). Also, the iced drinks only come in one size (20 oz). To be fair, I think the drink is worth the price as it's definitely not watered down and it's taking me a while to finish it (currently typing this review while birdwatching on our property). All in all, while the prices are a bit steep, I would still recommend Boilerworks Cafe, and it's conveniently in downtown Jackson right off the 49.

What a cool bookstore and coffee shop! Can't wait to go back and linger with a book. Very relaxed atmosphere with so many books to browse cool, vintage, and cozy

Such a chill little spot! The vintage vibes and unique seating make it a perfect place to cozy up with a book or get some work done. Super friendly atmosphere, free WiFi, and a nice quiet energy--great for studying or just soaking in the good vibes. The coffee? Absolutely delicious. No fancy blended drinks, but who needs 'em when everything tastes this good? Just a heads-up--they close early, so get your caffeine fix while you can!

Just discovered this gem. Very creative coffees. Haven't tried the eats but will be back. Had the iced chai. Yum. Nice places to sit inside and out. Try it.

This is not only the best coffee in the area, it is the best I've had anywhere. Service is friendly and more than competent. Please give this locally owned and operated coffee shop a try. You'll be glad you did!

The drinks here are really good, we all got different chais and they were all excellent. I recommend the Artemus. Besides that, the place has a really adorable book store vibe, the atmosphere is very cozy and comforting, and the staff were of course very nice. Lastly and most importantly, there was also an adorable black lab!

Wow wow,super cool coffee shop/ bookstore/ gem museum.Good coffee with a smile,wish they would've had a non dairy scone or muffin but they offered different milk substitute for coffee.Very neat atmosphere Sherlock Holmes like study and interesting people to talk to.Went every morning during my stay.

Such a cool store and coffee shop! Had a vanilla latte from a lovely barista and got to stroll around the very well decorated bookstore and very interesting and vintage collection of merchandise. Very glad to have stumbled upon.
