Your A-List: Best WiFi Hot Spot
Located in the heart of SoCo, the original Jo’s is packed with runners, workers, students and slackers looking for their morning jolt of java. The small coffee shack next to Hotel San Jose hums throughout the day with sandwich eaters, ‘Net surfers and locals wiling away their lunch hours, or sometimes the entire day. Whether checking their MySpace messages or Craigslist for job openings, or creating PowerPoint presentations, patrons seem to always enjoy the sidewalk cafe that offers benches, chairs and tables that serve as a perfect setting for people watching.
With the emergence of downtown as a destination for eating, drinking and socializing, Jo’s put up its shingle in the trendy Second Street District, attracting office workers, tourists and window shoppers looking for a caffeinated oasis in the downtown grid. Much like its flagship, the downtown spot offers wireless access along with unlimited people watching, and delicious sandwiches, salads and assorted beverages of all varieties.
Whether your work and play take you north or south of the river, Jo’s has got you covered.
