“Vale’s Kafe & Kitchen is a hidden gem in Union City. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, like you’re visiting a friend. The service is professional and attentive. The food … oh so good! Clean and flavorful. The portions are just right, not outrageous. The coffee is also very good. The only setback I see is the entrance is not
accessible. I would suggest a ramp for those customers that have difficulty walking up/down steps. Also hours could be extended, say to include dinner on the weekend (Fri/Sat). Otherwise a must see.“

“We absolutely love ordering breakfast catering from this small business for our team. Everything we’ve tried has been fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. Our office especially loves the croissant egg sandwiches with pork roll, they are always a huge favorite and disappear so fast. The hashbrowns are also amazing, perfectly cooked, crispy, flavorful, and the perfect side to round everything out.

What really stands out is how consistently great everything is. Every order has been reliable, tasty, and such a hit with our team, which makes breakfast meetings and office mornings so much better.

“If you’re looking for a truly special spot in Hoboken, Julietta Italian Gelato Bakery is a must. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both authentic and modern.

The gelato is absolutely outstanding—rich, creamy, and full of real flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and every scoop tastes fresh and perfectly crafted. The variety is impressive, with both classic flavors and unique options that make you want to come back again and again.

Beyond the gelato, their baked goods like the tiramisu are just as delicious. Everything looks beautiful and tastes even better. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or spending time with friends, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

What really sets Julietta apart is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which makes the whole experience even better.

Hands down one of the best dessert spots in Hoboken. Highly recommended!“

The portions were very hearty, flavorful and Definately worth the price.. the pineapple ginger home made brew box was amazing. With this heat it cooled us down.

“Delish coffee, pastries and service“

“Best coffeeshop in Jersey City bar none, accept no substitutes. There is actually nothing better than a morning or afternoon at Dames Coffee. This is a simple fact, and the sooner you acknowledge and experience it the better.

I have been here one billion times and I'll tell you exactly what you can expect: The nicest family ever greets you, they make you a high-quality coffee in less time than it takes for you to sit down (how are they so fast every single time?), you hang out on a beautiful patio with birds and people's dogs and comfy chairs.

Just go here, I don't know what else to tell you. They are the greatest. (Yes, the banana bread is really good)“

“Saw this place called Mr.Waffles. Looked appetizing so I checked it out. Omg freaking amazing. Have to check out their full menu of waffles & juices. I ordered the Waffles 4 in 1 Pistachio Nutella, white chocolate, kinder bueno, fruit as you can see from the photo looked & tasted amazing!!!!“

“This place is great. Highly recommend. One of the best spots around. Between the food, coffee and service, this place is a 10 out of 10. They’re very caring and friendly! The blueberry scones are the what ones I’ve had. So good !!“
