“This coffee shop is fantastic. The salmon toast and the Belgian avocado egg and cheese were incredibly flavorful, showcasing the freshness of their ingredients. The standout, however, was the coffee, particularly the original French Toast Latte, a must-try. Despite the chilly weather today, the indoor seating area was bustling, but luckily, the friendly and attentive staff made sure everyone felt welcome and well taken care of. Plus, the convenience of credit card acceptance adds to the overall positive experience.“

“This is the coffee shop this neighborhood needed ?[FOOD/] They make incredible sandwiches and have a big selection of drinks. I've tried a handful of them (cortado, flat white, cardamom chai, masala chai) and they all taste great. One thing I'd recommend - offer a sandwich with chicken please![] Staff is super attentive and takes care of you like it's a more formal restaurant - very impressive.[] The owner seems to know basically everyone that walks in, which says a lot about how he has quickly fostered a great community vibe. The place is very well decorated and has a calming, quiet atmosphere with a solid playlist. Thrilled to call this place my go to spot in the neighborhood.“

“I love this spot! I just found the coffee shop online and I wanted to try it out. I love the simple aesthetic of the store and the design. The staff here is pretty cool and they make the coffees pretty fast. The donuts here are so good, they are more cakey but the flavors are great. The coffees are great too, don't forget to ask for their seasonal drinks!!!“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“This is an excellent smoothie and acai bowl place, with a very fitting name! All of the fruit was fresh and smoothies are made to order. I was able to customize a smoothie with almond milk, spinach, banana, Nutella, blueberries, and avocado. It was actually surprisingly good and hit just the spot. So glad to have found this healthy juice/smoothie place in Jersey City!“

“Ordered "The Hybrid" and "Chicken Little" and a smoothie and it was sooooo good! The portions and flavor were awesome, I had no complaints. Also, it seems family run (a plus), and the vibe is very clean and comfortable. Will definitely be returning when I'm in the area.“
“Great coffee! I wish they would rearrange the furniture shop so it's fully in the back and doesn't spill into the main shop. It would be have cozier seating in that location instead of furniture for sale. Nonetheless, that should not dissuade you from coming.“

“My wife and I have been going here regularly for over a decade and I can safely say this is the single best coffee shop in downtown Jersey city by far. If you find yourself a coffee purist, love consistently high quality cappuccinos and espresso drinks, homemade banana bread, baristas who greet you with a genuine smile, and a cozy vibe with a cute backyard, this is your place to go!I love to try different coffee shops but find myself coming back to the quality, consistency and the warm atmosphere here.If you know any other coffee shop that comes even close in downtown, I’d love to know.“

“We absolutely love this spot. Everyone who works here is always friendly and helpful. So far our menu favorites are the veggie omelette, veggie burger, parfait, and original bibimbap bowl. The cafe itself is a great space to work, read, or catch up. The lighting is bright and natural with many live plants. It's not too loud, dark, or cramped like some other coffee shops.“

“I order the spicy chicken Caesar salad wrap at least once a week ? What i ABSOLUTELY LOVE is that they let you sub the chicken for vegan chicken for like less than a dollar more! I’ve been saying forever how it’s crazy no one has the ability to swap meat for vegan sub on their entire menu, love it ? Also, the first time i ordered i was dying cause im bad with spicy, this is actually spicy! Now i order without the peppers ?Vegetarian options: You can sub meat on dishes for vegan alternatives!“

“Came here with friends for breakfast, we got the iced matcha latte, disco inferno, trippin on shrooms, and iced chai latte. The staff were friendly and the inside was clean. My sandwich wasn't too heavy for a breakfast sandwich and tasted great! It was a little smaller than I expected inside but it wasn't too busy in the morning so there was no problem getting a seat.“

“Right off the beaten path of Central Ave is Galeria. They have two little tables outside when it's nice, and inside is a cute homey and clean spot with plenty of seats. Their coffees are great and empanadas are awesome for a quick grab. Also good for chicken sandwiches and breakfast platters! Owners are very sweet. They deserve your business instead of Dunkin. Prices for lattes are better and doesn't taste like a syrupy mess. Go here!“

“This spot is bustling and lively on weekends, and for a good reason. Lots of outdoor seating (with tables for small and larger groups of 6 or so). The baristas and staff are all very friendly, providing recommendations and answering any questions. Croissant was light and fluffy, but filling! The Oat Maple Iced Coffee seemed be a seasonal or new item, and was delicious! Will definitely be stopping by again“

“I've been looking for gluten free & nut free options west of Jersey Avenue, and Gussy's did their homework! I had a delicious gluten free breakfast sandwich, and their gluten free bread is fluffy and fresh (not frozen!). I came back for a breakfast wrap and was offered their chickpea (gf) wrap - which was just perfect! Their staff is super helpful and open to feedback, and the dine-in vibes are worth staying for!“

“This place is a neighborhood gem!!! The espresso here is on point, well prepared, roasty and full-bodied. Many delicious pastries prepared on site in this cozy shop located in a place that is the epitome of what corner stores once were in Jersey City. I'm so glad to see the welcoming proprietors preserved much of the architectural elements adding to the warm atmosphere. A job well done. Thank you!“

“They serve the best tea in NJ!! If you ever come to Jersey City, this is a must visit place!!! Being a Taiwanese myself, this place is the most authentic bubble tea I ever have in the States. With the price you pay, the quality and quantity worth every penny spent:) I will have no problem drinking 3 cups per day if I live closeby. I hope they open another one soon in my area and all over NJ!!!“

“Food here is beyond amazing. It's definitely worth it plus the portions are massive. For example, their paninis are so large my roommate and I couldn't finish one while sharing and we both est a lot.And the drinks are next level. Their Chai reminds me of the good stuff you'd get at hidden grounds in Hoboken, their iced coffee ice is frozen coffee and not just regular ice.I'm a huge fan overall, super friendly staff, will happily change up orders, etc. Pet friendly and the owner is very open to chat while you're waiting on food.“

A great place to step out of the cold and enjoy a bite to eat.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, I saw families getting together at this place and I felt like I was in someone's home. It is a little tight on the dining space for larger groups.“

“My friend recommended this coffee shop, saying he often works from his computer there and loves the food, coffee, and atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, finding it pleasantly uncrowded with some students and remote workers immersed in their tasks. The owner, who also made our coffee, was incredibly friendly; we had a nice chat, and he suggested some delicious options. We also tried their bakery items, which didn't disappoint. Their coffee and chai were fantastic too. I'll definitely revisit next time I'm in town.“

“The food was amazing! I tried the lox toast and my friend had the açaí bowl....both were delish! Their macchiato and cold brew were on point as well! The service was great and the staff was attentive and welcoming. I had to kill some time between meetings and I didn't feel rushed at all and even noticed a few regulars coming in and saying hello to the staff....very friendly indeed! It is a laid back atmosphere and the ambiance both relaxed me and made me feel right at home. Definitely visiting more often going forward :)!!!!“

“We ordered our engagement cake from Cocoa Bakery and were extremely happy with how everything came out. This was our first time ordering a large cake and the cake expert was very patient with us and walked us through all the various flavors/styles/fillings and was very transparent about the pricing. The cake exceeded expectation. We knew we wanted a naked cake style to match our rustic them and they worked with us finding using example pictures to style our cake exactly as we wanted. The process was no stress. We were late at ordering the cake (about 2.5 weeks out) but they had helped us confirm the cake/size quickly and once we were confirmed they took care of everything and the cake was delivered fresh on time. The cake was more than enough to feed all our guest, delicious and so fresh. The buttercream frosting was delicious and our cake expert gave us tips on how to serve it to preserve the taste. I highly recommend them! Thanks so much!“

“I’ve been to this cafe many times because they are one of the few cafes in JC with plenty of space for reading/working and healthy food options. I’ve tried their avocado and chicken sandwich, avocado toast, egg and cheese wrap and their brekki quinoa bowl. I prefer the avocado and chicken sandwich and the egg and cheese wrap but I liked that everything was light and healthy and made me feel good about my body after eating them.The owner is also very friendly and polite. This cafe is located in the lobby of a luxury apartment building. I’d definitely recommend this cafe.Vegetarian options: Avocado toast“
