“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.“

“The best coffee in JSQ! The owner Wilson clearly takes a lot of time and care on the coffee he serves his customers. Some cold brews like the coconut and Kyoto brews take days to prepare and taste absolutely delicious.

Really amazing mom&pop! Worth even coming in from Manhattan for.“

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

“Wow! I’m so happy I found this place when I was searching for breakfast near my mom’s doctor appointment! I was going to go to McDonald’s but feeling SO lucky like I hit the jackpot with a yummy breakfast spot. I ordered the trippin’ on shrooms - SO DELICIOUS! I also ordered the dulce de leche and it was tasty!“

“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.“

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!“

“So happy we have a Hidden Grounds in JC! Their chai is incredible, probably my favorite I've had anywhere in the JC/NYC area. Their pastries are so good and sometimes there are seasonal ones! My partner loves their coffee too. The staff are awesome and the space is nice. Their Bombay bagel sandwich is my favorite breakfast sandwich anywhere!“

“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 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.“

“Best coffeeshop in Jersey City bar none, accept no substitutes. There is actually nothing better than a morning or afternoon at Dames Coffee. This is a simple fact, and the sooner you acknowledge and experience it the better.

I have been here one billion times and I'll tell you exactly what you can expect: The nicest family ever greets you, they make you a high-quality coffee in less time than it takes for you to sit down (how are they so fast every single time?), you hang out on a beautiful patio with birds and people's dogs and comfy chairs.

Just go here, I don't know what else to tell you. They are the greatest. (Yes, the banana bread is really good)“

“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.“

“This place gets 5 stars across the board for the vibes, service, and the food. I had the Peanut Butter Latte with an extra shot of espresso and oat milk. Even with the extra shot it was very balanced and smooth. Then I tried their signature breakfast sandwich called “The Lafayette” and it comes with hot honey on the side. It was FIREEE definitely recommend it to anyone who can eat it.

I know they serve other things like ramen and more food besides breakfast, so I will definitely be back if I am in the area. The owner Pat was great to talk to online and the staff in the shop were very kind as well. The spot also has a lot of space and is tucked into a cool nook of Jersey City.

Show this place the love it deserves PLEASE!

“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.“

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

“Best coffee in Jersey City!“

“This is a go-to place when I want a quick, healthy food option. The staff is great at putting together meals really quickly and giving great recommendations. The breakfast burritos are heart and filling and the monthly salad also gives variety. Highly recommend if looking for a healthy option.“

“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!“

“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.“

“hunger satisfaction everytime , this spot never disappoints“

“Très bon donuts Accueillant.“

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

“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.“

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

“Best coffee in the area and the best service (I've tried every cafe in downtown JC before settling on this one). Local business with local community where servers know return customers by name. Quality is also consistent because barista turnover is low unlike other joints. They have extra water filters and understand even that impacts the taste of their coffee. I love that they care about the quality (smooth, velvety but bold espresso) and isn't just pumping out coffees like a business machine. There's a reason I'm a long standing customer and customers keep coming back. Mornings are extremely busy but they still get things done without dropping their customer service. They really are the best in the area and a pleasure to interact with.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The decor is warm and the layout is great for doing work in. I got the Vanilla/Coconut latte and the chicken wrap and they were both delicious. The salad that came with my chicken wrap was a little soggy and before I even said anything, one of the women behind the counter made me a whole new salad! Great food, good vibes, plus you can watch the light rail as it goes by“
