“Amazing coffee and great service!“

“I was looking for a place specifically to work on my laptop for a couple hours. This popped to the top of the list. Sweet upstairs loft with good wifi and power outlets. Coffee is excellent, and the treats are great. I walked a few blocks to check it out and totally worth it.“

“From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely cared for. This was my first time visiting, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, but what truly stood out was the level of attention and thoughtfulness we received. Being noticed and having the spelling of my name acknowledged made me feel seen and valued as a guest.

Ariana deserves special recognition—she went above and beyond by customizing both coquito lattes to accommodate my sister’s and my health issues, *without sacrificing flavor at all*. They were hands-down some of the best drinks we’ve had. Her knowledge, care, and exceptional customer service made this experience unforgettable. If anyone deserves a promotion, it’s Ariana!

Will be coming back my next visit to the city“

“The best cup of coffee I’ve had at a coffee shop in a really long time! This is a hidden gem. And the owner talked to my son about his interest in cars, which was a fun treat and a memorable experience for him. Highly recommend!“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.“

“Okay nothing was wrong with the coffee it was a 10/10 iced horchata latte with oat milk and the coffee kicked!
But the cafe itself needs a bit of housecleaning. So many flies just hovering inside and the cafe needs some bg music and might help with overall liveliness of the decor.“

“The great concept of sustainability. Looking forward for our future.“

“Went bakery hopping that day. by far it has the best croissant. Even saved one for the next day, toasted it and tasted just as good. Staff was friendly too.“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“If you want a small, healthy snack and a good coffee, this is the place. Very good choices of music and friendly service as well, especialy Charlie. I usually come at closing and he is so good at cleaning and making things pristine.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I love this place. Always busy, clean, excellent service, profesional baristas.“

“Might be the best coffee in jersey city. Not all baristas are necessarily the same, but pretty much all of the ones I've had make my cortado perfectly, and they started remembering me and my order after just 2 or 3 visits. Also the children's play area, which is free to use, is great--my son loves it. This has become my go-to coffee shop.“

“An unassuming neighborhood coffee shop that is actually sm more. They reallyyyyyy get it right with sourcing beans, making their own delicious syrups, providing cozy and friendly service. Also - this season they have a rainbow cookie latte? Incredible. I’m so glad to pass them on my daily commute.“

“Sote Coffee Roasters is a true haven for coffee lovers. As soon as you walk in, you’re met with the rich, comforting aroma of freshly roasted beans and a sleek, modern interior that still manages to feel warm and inviting. The minimalist design highlights what matters most the coffee and the staff’s passion for their craft is clear from the first pour to the last sip.

I ordered a pour-over and a cardamom bun, and both were phenomenal. The coffee was perfectly extracted, smooth, and full of nuanced flavor notes, while the pastry was subtly spiced and wonderfully fresh. It’s the kind of place where every detail from bean sourcing to music playlist feels curated with intention. If you're someone who appreciates slow coffee done right, Sote is absolutely worth the stop.“

“el iced dirty horchata with super rico.😋😋“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“This place is quiet for working and enjoying coffee and chai lattes. After spending the majority of the working week for months here at Olas, the baristas have always been consistently neighborly and friendly. Love the cups made by a local artist as well. ❤️“

“Excellent coffee!! Excellent service !!!“

“Excellent coffee (and they have almond milk, yay!) and their chocolate rugalah is to die for! 😋“

“It's fantastic to have a coffee shop where the owners take care to buy top quality, organic, fair trade beans which they roast themselves on-site. The staff are fabulous and really know what they're doing.“

“Brooklyn Roasting Company has become my go-to coffee spot. Their brews are rich, smooth, and never bitter. The baristas are friendly and quick, which makes my morning routine so much easier.“

“Solid State Coffee is my secret go-to after the American Museum of Natural History with kids. It can get crowded, but the line moves fast, which matters a lot when you’re operating on museum-level child energy.

What keeps me coming back is that both the coffee and the food are genuinely very good. This is not just a “parents in survival mode” stop. The menu has real range: solid savory options for adults, including lighter choices like avocado toast and a super grain bowl, plus easy kid fuel like tomato soup, grilled cheese, buns, and hot cocoa. Their syrniki are my personal favorite — baked farmer’s cheese patties served with strawberry jam and whipped labneh — and they manage to feel both comforting and protein-packed. 

The café is on West 71st Street and is open daily from 7 AM to 4 PM, which makes it especially convenient for a breakfast, lunch, or post-museum reset. The company also roasts thoughtfully curated, ethically sourced coffee in small batches, which tracks with how carefully everything tastes. 

A rare family stop that actually works for everyone: good coffee for adults, real food for kids, and no unnecessary chaos.“

“muy buen café y ambiente“

“I completed the SCA barista intermediate class with Kaleena which was well worth it though definitely challenging. I want to thank Kaleena again for her patience, thoughtfulness, resourcefulness and passion for all-things-coffee. I also took away with me an appreciation for coffee maintenance which I didn't expect!“

“Really cool cafe! The decor is really cool, loved it a lot. Service was great, everyone is so kind and patient with explaining anything if you have questions. I got the iced banana latte, and it was described to me as a milkshake with coffee - I would totally agree, it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place.“

“Love the coffee, enjoyed it. Very flavorful! New ARABICA COFFEE DRINKER“

“Definitely a great tasting coffee. It really packs a punch.“

“Excellent delicious , a nice variety of coffees — and lovely customer service. You will never need to go back to over-priced, poor quality “ premium” coffees again( yes, I’m looking at you, Starbucks) If you like your brew enough to pay extra for it, this is a great find.I just noticed some poor reviews - I’m not sure you should expect employees at a shop (so-called “baristas”) to be expert or to make invented coffee drinks to your (or any) taste.. I don’t expect a modestly paid part-time to know much or make a “specialty drink.” To quote Quentin Tarantino, “ I buy the god stuff. ‘ Cause I want t taste it” If your “drink” is terrible, send it back.“

“Great coffee & pastries, cakes Delicious Greek food“

“I’m a satisfied customer.“

“My favorite white chocolate mocha + peaceful place to sit 🤍 the owner is such a sweet soul, and this is such a gem of a coffee shop!“

“Directions for semi trucks Off the 95 take 495 ( towards Lincoln tunnel !!!don't go in tunnel) take last exit to Hoboken steep down hill on to s marginal hwy take a right onto jfk Blvd take that down to 19th St and make a right ( before the Exxon gas station) once you take that right take the next left at the light down Willow Ave. Take that small overpass to 15th Street and make a right . Then take 15th St to Jefferson St which is another right turn to 16th Street which is a one way you will have to go backwards towards the docks. Ppl are nice clean building professional once you back into the dock you'll have to disconnect and hand over your license and park down the street“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had tbh. And I’ve become a bit of a coffee snob.
I usually get an oat cortado with oat milk.

Their treats are good as well.
WiFi is available with a receipt for up one or two hours.“
