I feel guilty for reviewing this gem so late. The cashier that runs the counter and doubles up as the cook is great and the kaiser rolls are amazing. I could have breakfast here everyday.

A real Jersey City Treasure. The only thing better than the food is the atmosphere. Chris and his son Christian make you feel at home and like family. Once you go you'll be hooked for

I've lived in Downtown Jersey City for 10yrs, and have seen Chris reinvent this place a couple of times. Now as a father - son team with a perfectly short menu of breakfast items, sandwiches, coffee and juice/smoothies, Chris continues to bring that eclectic neighborhood feel that fits perfectly with the DTJC vibe. Stopping by for one of his scrumptious egg sandwiches (I prefer sausage egg & cheese) and seeing their familiar, friendly faces is a great way to start the day. Keep Legal Grounds above ground! ✌️

Didn’t end up getting food or coffee here, it was very dark & pretty dirty inside. I was concerned it might not be following food safety standards :(

Extremely friendly father and son team who make a very solid BEC. Dunno who does their rolls but they're quite good. Very tasty, check'em out!!

Excellent coffee (roasted on site), amazing service and even better food, especially the breakfast sandwiches! Love the old school New Orleans vibe, its an absolute hidden gem in JC! Reward yourself with a stop in!
It’s a cute little joint. The entire place has a very neighbourhood feel to it. Good food and good vibes. This may just become my go to place for weekend breakfast walks !

What a great way to start my morning. I stumbled upon the place, walked it to the most welcoming father & son team and had the best dang bacon, egg & cheese sandwich with coffee. You can tell it's a local favorite by all the costomers. It's my new go to place!
Great coffee and great vibes ??
