JB Cafe Rankings
Ranked by ShiokScore. Coffee, food, vibes, value, and how easy it is to get there from CIQ.
Every ShiokScore is calculated from five weighted dimensions specific to cafes. Coffee and food quality share the top weight (25% each), because a cafe that nails the vibes but serves average coffee is not worth the causeway crossing.
