The VU in Jamaica Plain is a special place that feels open and pleasant. It is Boston’s only video rental store, with more than 17,000 movies to choose from. You can find popular films and rare cult classics here, making it an ideal place for movie fans. Along with movies, The VU is also a coffee roaster and café. They serve delicious coffee and homemade pastries, including vegan options.

The shop has a nice and inviting vibe. The team is helpful and remembers your name and favorite drinks. The owner, Kevin, loves both movies and coffee, and he often talks with customers about them. The VU has monthly specials and unique drinks like pour-over coffee, plus treats like the cheddar jalapeño scone that many people enjoy.

One of the best things about The VU is its small 24-seat microcinema. Members can watch private movie screenings and join special events. This makes The VU a fun place for people who love movies and want to meet others with the same interests. If you want a good cup of coffee, want to rent a movie, or watch a film in the microcinema, The VU is a wonderful place in Jamaica Plain.
