50 Best Cafes near East Newark

“The best coffee ☕️ good morning everyone ☔️“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“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.“

“Had a great experience at Toast x Bowl! I ordered the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and it was absolutely fire. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I also tried the Passion Fruit Pear Fizz, which was super refreshing and paired really well with the meal. We also shared the shrimp rice bowl and truffle fries, and both were just as delicious.

The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a really nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and everything came out fresh and looked amazing. You can tell they care about the quality of the food.

“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. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food, and it shows in every bite. We’ve honestly loved everything we’ve ordered so far and cannot wait to order again.“

“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!“

“Melanie did an AMAZING job on my sister's Game of Thrones themed couple shower. I had some ideas but she really took what I said and made my ideas into something more. Not only did everything look great, the desserts tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend her and Jamm Events and will use her again.“

“This breakfast spot is a hidden gem! The fresh orange juice tasted natural and refreshing. The coffee was rich and smooth. The sandwich was perfectly made and very satisfying. And the Dubai chocolate crepe? Simply the best! So creamy, chocolatey, and beautifully prepared. I will definitely come back again.“

“Delish coffee, pastries and service“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place. My boyfriend and I (both baristas) drive the distance for this coffee; you can taste how much the owner, Pierre, cares about both his craft & his customers. Simple, carefully curated menu; home-made syrups; incredibly kind staff (that always seem happy to be there).“

“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)“

“This is a must try, we had afternoon tea and lunch. Everything was delicious, we tried the elderberry tea and it was amazing. The service was top notch. We will be going back again real soon. Definitely recommend everyone to spend the afternoon there.“

“This café is truly a hidden gem that deserves all the praise. Their pancakes are nothing short of phenomenal—especially the banana caramel pancake, which delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and richness in every bite. The berry pancake, bursting with fresh fruit and soft, fluffy texture, is just as incredible and a must-try for any breakfast lover.

Beyond breakfast, their Shakshuka is a standout dish. Perfectly seasoned and served piping hot with a side of warm bread, it’s the kind of meal that instantly comforts you. Whether you're a fan of Middle Eastern flavors or just want something hearty and delicious, their Shakshuka hits the mark every time.

Coffee lovers will find their heaven here. Their espresso is bold and aromatic, the lattes are smooth and beautifully crafted, and every cup shows how much care they put into their brews. It’s the kind of place where the coffee speaks for itself.

And let’s not forget about their refreshers—vibrant, flavorful, and so refreshing, they’re worth traveling for. Whether it’s a citrus mint or a fruity blend, each sip feels like a getaway in a glass. This café is truly an experience worth repeating over and over again.“

“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 !!“

“Great service and food! Love their breakfast wrap! Lots of vegetarian options ❤️“
