Edit: the wifi is apparently gone?? Not sure why you'd come here now as the food is kind of overpriced
Nice spot to do some work, but wifi probably needs an upgrade -- can't even connect during busier times

My favorite lunch spot in Hoboken. All of the food is made fresh to order, which is why is can take several minutes to come out. The space is bright, clean, and beautiful to sit in. I always order the Cauliflower Tahini Sandwich-- it's unique and delicious. They also have some of the best hummus that I have ever tried. I only wish they would sell the hummus individually to purchase without the eggplant dish that its served with.

If you put the first router ever made in the basement corner and then covered it in tinfoil you would still have faster wifi than this place

Great environment to work from, the WiFi was a little slow but maybe due the high demand of people using it. The soup of the day was delicious, would definitely go back!!

Such good food… my husband and I had the Shakshuka and it was excellent. Nice space, good service… but what’s up with the prices???? $60 for two for breakfast? We might as well go to someplace on the Upper Esst Side next time.

Excellent croissants and coffee. Really liked this place, plenty of space to sit. An industrial ambiance, excellent pastries (croissant and pain au chocolat) and great coffee. Good service.
Great spot if you dont need wifi. Really disappointed with the Wifi. Cant come back until that is fixed.
Replying back:
Wow—didn’t expect such a rude and hostile reply to a simple piece of feedback. I didn’t insult the coffee, the food, or the staff. I just mentioned that the WiFi wasn’t usable, which is a reasonable thing to note—especially for a café where people often work or study.
Instead of acknowledging the issue or considering a solution, the manager chose to mock me for having “the nerve” to comment on free WiFi (which doesn't work). I wasn’t demanding lightning-fast speeds—I just needed a reliable connection, which is a basic expectation in most modern coffee shops.
If WiFi is such a sore subject, maybe it’s time to invest in a better setup rather than lashing out at customers who point out a problem. This response says a lot more about the management than my original 3-star review ever could.
Replying back:
Rami, The irony is that my original review wasn’t even that negative, I gave 3 stars and simply noted that the WiFi didn’t work well (or at all) but now im going to make it 5 stars because your food is great and your professional staff should not suffer from this issue. Your WiFi DOESNT WORK!!, Truth hurts man, that is fair and relevant feedback for a cafe where many people bring laptops to work.
Instead of taking it constructively, You chose to respond with sarcasm, name-calling, and personal attacks, twice. I never criticized the coffee, the food, or the staff. I simply shared that the poor WiFi made it hard to return. Your unprofessional and defensive reactions say far more about the business than my calm review ever did.
Running a business is hard, I get it and respect that. But professionalism means being able to take feedback without attacking your customers online. I actually was open to coming back if the WiFi improved. After seeing how you respond to even the mildest criticism? That’s no longer even a thought.
I encourage anyone considering Gotan to read both sides of this exchange.

5/5 coffee/food, but the wifi really sucks here (1/5) - don’t plan to get anything done, at least not w/o a hot spot. Email, etc won’t load. They need a bigger pipe and/or a better mesh network. Few hundred bucks would really solve the problem here b/c they have an open floor plan.
Such a great space otherwise, management please fix/upgrade the wifi and it’s a 5/5 here!

Really rude owner. They also advertise free wifi but it doesn’t work and the owner becomes physically threatening when asked about it. Insane!! Stay away! Not safe for women
