50 Best Coffee Shops in Jersey City

“This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Jersey City (and believe me, there are many). The staff is so lovely, the food is fresh and delicious and reasonably priced for the quality, the drinks are fun. I've brought babies, worked here, stopped by with my dog for takeout, and sat outside, and all experiences have been great. Highly recommend Hybrid!“

“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.“

“Great vibe. Friendly,warm and kudos to Desiree who was wonderful.“

“This place is truly amazing, with such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect spot to get some work done while enjoying an incredible coffee and a delicious sandwich. You can really feel the gratitude and care that the owner, Wilson, has for every customer his patience and kindness shine through in everything he does. The staff is an amazing crew: friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile, which makes the experience even more special. The Wi-Fi is great, the lattes are absolutely delicious, and dogs are welcome, which makes it even better for pet lovers. Every visit feels like a little escape from the busy day. I genuinely love walking in here, ordering my coffee, and taking a moment to relax and enjoy. It’s more than just a café it’s a warm, welcoming place that makes you want to keep coming back. ☕️💛“

“Amazing coffee shop!“

“Okay so Call Me Mia is exactly the kind of place you stumble into once and then spend the next week telling everyone about. The vibe is cozy without even trying, it feels lived in, like someone actually thought about how people would feel sitting there, not just how it would look. I went in for coffee with my service dog and ended up staying way longer than I planned. The energy is just so welcoming and unpretentious. No rush, no noise, just good music at the right volume and a space that makes you want to open your notes app and write something. The food and drinks? genuinely obsessed. Everything tasted intentional, nothing felt like an afterthought. Call Me Mia is a vibe and a half. If you need a place to think, catch up with someone, or just exist quietly for a little while, this is it.

p.s. The staff made the whole experience. welcoming, warm, attentive, the kind of people you could talk to for hours. You can tell they actually want you there.“

“Belle Âme is the type of coffee shop that puts LOVE in their food craft. One of the best coffee shop sandwiches I had in a while. NY coffee shops don’t top this honestly.

Plus, the coffee shop has a versatile of seating arrangements. Great for my ADHD friends. 😅“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“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.“

“This place is a neighborhood gem!!! The espresso here is on point, well prepared, roasty and full-bodied. 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!“

“This place is really so beautiful! Wonderful gathering place for coffee and play dates. I am so lucky that this is in my neighborhood!“

“Solid coffee and breakfast sandwiches, excellent service and a nice interior. They not only ask about me, they always ask about my dog Georgia, as well.“

“I've lived in Jersey City for a long time. There have been and are many coffee shops. But this is the one I keep coming back to with high frequency. Tons of options, especially seasonally, and a great space. Whoever's behind the counter on any given day is personable and fast. The atmosphere is immaculate and the ability to see outside is great. Pastries are also phenomenal with tons to choose from.“

“Great atmosphere that enhanced my creative spirit… 😬“

“They are rescuing Newark Ave. Absolutely the finast dinner. Those in the CourtHouse neighborhood should make Yub's 78 a regular stop.“

“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.“

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

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

“A little slow service, but the rest is great! 😊“

“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.“

“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!

“Best coffee in Jersey City!“

“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.“

“Bwe Kafe helps Haitian coffee growers“

“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.“

“Food here is beyond amazing. It's definitely worth it plus the portions are massive. For example, their paninis are so large my roommate and I couldn't finish one while sharing and we both est a lot.And the drinks are next level. Their Chai reminds me of the good stuff you'd get at hidden grounds in Hoboken, their iced coffee ice is frozen coffee and not just regular ice.I'm a huge fan overall, super friendly staff, will happily change up orders, etc. Pet friendly and the owner is very open to chat while you're waiting on food.“

“Found this not-so-hidden gem inside Hudson Mall, and I’m really glad I stopped by. The mall doesn’t get much attention these days, but this coffee shop, The Coffee Beanery, definitely deserves it.

Ordered the mocha and the white chocolate mocha (both iced), and they were so good. The guy who served us was super kind and just really cool to talk to.

If you’re a coffee lover or just want to try something new, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Happy to support a small business that truly deserves it.“

“I usually order the ancho potato burrito with avocado (if you know, you know 😌), but this time I tried some of Alfalfa’s new breakfast items and was really impressed.

The Avocado Tartine is simple but done so well — great sourdough, perfectly ripe avocado, and the crispy shallots and superseed crunch add just the right texture and subtle heat. The Organic Yogurt & Homemade Granola was a standout too: thick, tangy yogurt with cardamom-forward granola, fresh strawberries, and a touch of sweetness from the jam and honey.

Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully made. An easy go-to for a solid breakfast or brunch in JC.“

“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 .“

“Coffee and croissants are so yummy ! Perfect combination. Ambience is cozy and refreshing“

“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!“

“Très bon donuts Accueillant.“

“Loved Dames Coffee in Jersey City. The matcha was actually really good not super bright green, but the taste was on point. The space is cozy, chill energy, and they’ve got tables with outlets, which is always a win. Great spot to hang, work, or just vibe. Would come back for sure!“

“(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.“

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

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

“Beautiful decor, and atmosphere, the people are friendly and a pleasure to speak to.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent bakery. Lots of quality and a nice variety of baked goods. My only complaint is that even though the espresso I had was made correctly, I didn't feel the "taste" was there. Must be a domestically made coffee. Wish they would use a true Italian espresso like Illy at the least. Other than that I'll be back.“

“We’re visiting from Louisiana! This place is so refreshing & the service is amazing! We’d definitely return and highly recommend! Food was just as awesome as the service 😉“
