50 Best Coffee Shops in Jersey City

“All good things— the service is amazing, staff is kind. Their croissants are great, flaky and not too sweet. I loved the cardamom latte (they also recommed the french toast latte which I did not have but looked enticing)

Very friendly staff, cute spot, underrated.“

“This place is such a hidden gem!! I came by here to work with a laptop. I love the atmosphere and healthy options to choose from. The wifi was fast so I felt productive working here. I got Clarity juice, which contains lime, celery, cucumber and spinich. It tasted really fresh and refreshing! I can tell they use fresh ingredients for sure. The barista lady in the morning was very kind and courteous as well. I highly recommend this place! :)“

“Great quality coffee and awesome staff. Thanks a lot for coming down to The Beacon every week to caffeinate our day.“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

Many delicious pastries prepared on site in this cozy shop located in a place that is the epitome of what corner stores once were in Jersey City. I'm so glad to see the welcoming proprietors preserved much of the architectural elements adding to the warm atmosphere. A job well done. Thank you!“

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

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“I got an apple turnover by recommendation and it was delicious! My coffee was absolutely perfect, the espresso is truly balanced.
The entire cafe is covered in Palestinian flags and even a Lebanese flag, which is like a breath of fresh air. If I ever have enough time in the morning, 100% I am coming back here.“

“I went to get a latte around 2:40 PM today, but it wasn’t good—more like a 2/5. I’m still giving the store 4 stars because the lattes were great earlier this week, which is why I came back. Today’s tasted off, felt like the end batch of beans, was watery, and had less volume. I just want consistency for a $5 latte.“

“Great food and generous protein portions. Friendly staff and they happily gave me extra dressing on the side. They also advertise that the food is made of olive oil which is a great sign. Glad that places like this are thriving in the neighborhood.“

“Some incredible items for sale. Furniture, tables, chairs, lighting, artwork. Great mid century modern pieces, some with an eclectic space age looking vibe. Great mix, even better coffee and don’t overlook the saliva inducing Saturday donuts from DoGood Donuts.“

“We’ve been visiting Cafe Lafayette almost everyday for 2 years now. We absolutely love Patrick and his crew. The food and the service is great and they always make us feel so welcome. They also serve the best pup cups; Pluto will attest to that 😄“

“Cali Shakes is hands down one of the best spots around! The staff is incredibly professional, and the whole place is super clean—you can tell they really care about what they do. Every drink I’ve tried has been healthy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Whether you're into fitness or just looking for something tasty and nutritious, this is the place to be!

“Très bon donuts Accueillant.“

“This was one of the most delightful experiences I’ve had in recent memory. The staff are SO kind and so sweet. The cappuccino was perfect and their yogurt fruit and granola bowl was UNBELIEVABLE. Memorably delicious. So fresh with tons of berries and delicious granola. I will definitely be back!!!! Thank you Eliza!!!!!!“

“I love my little PrkUp and all the people who make it wonderful, including ownership. I love my little crevice in the sun out front, followed by my walks to the marina. I love that they have La Colombe nitro on tap. Let me say it again—I love ya’ll. “

“Realizamos una reunión de improvisto en la zona el día jueves y quedamos encantados con las feel good salad que solicitamos , la atención fue excelente .“

“I live nearby and regularly visit Dames Coffee, so wanted to take a minute to recommend them online. The team here is so lovely and the coffee is delicious. They specialize in the more standard items -- coffee, espresso, lattes etc. If looking for a seasonal drink, not the best spot (try The Hive two blocks away), but if looking for a standard and well-made espresso, this is the place to do it. There is always a dog or two sitting outside (yay), and they have a backyard with wifi for warm work-from-home days. Their banana bread is also a local staple if you want a snack to go with it!“

“I always serve my customers with love they call me Diana with love����“

“One of the best Matcha Lattes and coffees I’ve had in the city, made by a very pleasant and friendly barista. It’s rare to find a place that really knows how to make Matcha and coffee so well, but this spot absolutely delivers. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality and great service!“

“Best coffee in Jersey City!“

“(Translated by Google) I love why people are very generous when you arrive and there is attention and that is what one seeks attention.(Original)Me encanta porqué la gente son bien generoso tu llega y hay atención y eso es lo que uno busca atención.“

“Holy cow, THIS PLACE IS UNDERRATED!! From the coffee's rich and tasty quality, down to the unexpectedly good deserts, this place deserves more recognition! The hot chocolate is over-the-top in just enough sugar, while also maintaining a creamy and joyous flavor. Made me feel like a kid again. The owner (Khalid) is a very respectful and hard working man, who's drink making skills are just WOW! If you ever come down to Hudson mall, give this place a try! Overall, 5 stars.“

“Great decor, good views, friendly staff and good coffee!“

“Such a cosy comfy place to just sit and decompress 🤌. love it“

“Loved the shroom sando and the cold brew“

“Currently enrolled at NJCU and this of course my go to place when I’m hungry. The food and beverages are delicious, but service can be a bit slow only 15-20 min. before or after a block of classes gets out. If you go during those times, you can expect longer wait times and the (slight) possibility that you’re order may be wrong. This is a coffee shop on a university campus.... please have realistic expectations.“

“Delicious coffee!! It's great to be able to pickup an order of freshly roasted local coffee to help relax a bit from the stress of the coronavirus situation. Bit of a walk for me but hope to be back again in the future, thank you! :)“

“Great staff. Great Atmosphere. Friendly neighborhood clientele.“

“Cosy Atmosphere and convenient location“
