Wow guys you need to replace your employeesThe stuff was very rude . We tried to sit out side and then come in to order a coffee.And he was pissed off that we didn’t first come in and ask for a table or reservations when actually no one was there.Then instead of a nice way to talk to us, he “teach” us how to come to a restaurant.Will never step in this place again

Small, cozy brunch place with great breakfast/lunch options. Stopped by with a friend to catch up and without a reservation, we were seated. There is an area near the front that can seat larger parties, but the restaurant mainly has smaller tables. I got the croque madame which was good and very very filling.

La Bouche is very cute inside and a great place to go for brunch or lunch with one or two other people - it is not suitable for a larger group. I went for brunch and ordered the mushroom crepe (no ham), a side of potatoes, and a latte. Although I generally enjoyed my meal, all of my food was relatively bland and could have used more seasoning. I would still recommend stopping by if you are looking for a nice and cozy brunch spot. I do have to mention that there were practically no vegan options on the breakfast/brunch menu, so be warned if that is your situation.

The egg is over cooked, the potatoes are undercooked. My daughter loves her Nutella crepe though from here. I’m here for the second time and no luck with food so far.

Avoid! Eggs Benedict had cold ham and fake hollandaise sauce. My wife had a soggy microwaved croissant.

Salad was undressed and had a piece of paper or paper towel in it. When I finally got the attention of the server, because he hadn't checked on us at all, there was no apology he simply asked if I wanted another. Salad was basically bagged mixed greens with unwashed cherry tomatoes, raw onion and feta cheese, not to mention a $7 for the addition of a tiny piece chicken.He ended up charging me for the salad. An $80 bill for a burger, papery salad and croque monsieur. I don't have a problem paying a premium for great food and service, especially when local places need support most, but this was so rough and not okay at all.

Decent breakfast/brunch spot that opens nice and early, which is hard to find in Hoboken. Food won't blow you away but they have a nice variety of French and American classics.

The food is hot and straight forward. The service is prompt and quick. It's tiny inside so I would suggest just two person party there is meter parking outside.
Cute restaurant, the staff was very friendly. Recommend the octopus! Paella was a bit small

First impression, was delightfully surprised by the cleanliness in such a small, quaint little hole in the wall sort of place. There was a group waiting outside to be seated which was a good sign, because the weather wasn’t great. Who waits outside unless it’s good, right? The menu has lots of options, so whether you want a sweet breakfast or a more savory lunch, there’s something for everyone. Also noticed: the all gender restroom, which I always appreciate.After ordering drinks, we did wait a tad longer than I would have expected. While my first sip of my dirty chai with almond milk was satisfactory, and my boyfriend liked the look of his latte with frothy foam milk, a few sips later I came to the conclusion that my iced chai was severely watered down (assuming they pour warm espresso over ice, which is my ultimate pet peeve. It’s 2024 and planning ahead is doable. How are places still doing this? Make the espresso ahead of time and chill it…)Anyhow, the taste of my avocado toast and my boyfriend’s eggs Benedict was truly good. The poached eggs were cooked just right, bursting with their yolk the moment we sliced them open. But the potatoes (while cooked enough to bite into), weren’t seasoned like a downright delicious, greasy set of home fries — you know, the type you really want with your eggs, with just a little crisp and some cracked sea salt.I did appreciate the hot sauce they had on the table, in fact, it was the first hot sauce I’ve ever taken a liking too, but La Bouche didn’t make it, Cholula did. And speaking of which, La Bouche didn’t make any type of “sauce” to drizzle over the farm field greens that were strewn about over my avocado toast or collected in a sad little corner on the plate of my boyfriend’s egg Benedict. Not even EVOO? Come on, no one likes dry mixed greens straight of the box. This makes the dish look unfinished!We also got the zucchini pancakes which were delicious and probably the best item on the table. But then why don’t they put as much effort into their main dishes? These were more like a shareable side.I think the part of our visit that probably was most significant and led me to deduct a full star was the end, when we were asked if one of our places could be cleared that still contained an entire zucchini pancake on it. “No,” I said. “We’re not done.” As the bus boy reached for the plate. “No,” my boyfriend tried again. “We’re still working on it.” We took one to two more bites before another waitress walked over and simply said “let me clear your plates,” and proceeded to clear them before we could even utter a single word. There was still food on all of our plates at this point, to be clear. La Bouche? More like La Pouche You Out.Regardless, there aren’t many quick and clean, relatively yummy brunch spots in Hoboken as you’d think, so we’ll probably be back. But we probably won’t wait outside in the cold for a table. Sorry, I don’t beat around the Bouche.
Loved it. Cute brunch place to visit. It’s BYOB for mimosas! Highly recommend the Bacon & Egg omelet and Crossiant french toast. Service was 10/10. We were seated immediately for table of 3. The place is very small, not big group friendly.

The service was 10/10. We did not have reservations, and they set us at the bar. The food was delicious. I ordered the omelet of the day with an additional croissant. We enjoyed the live music on Sunday.They were hosting a bday party, and the environment was very festive and friendly
Brunch was delicious!
