The employee there was not so welcoming. I think this place needs some attention to be more appealing to customers.

Love Sober Shot! I stopped in to grab some coffee during my break. I ordered a latte with oat milk and it was just what I needed on a rainy day. Loved the jazz music playing in the background as I waited for my order. Great friendly service. I shared that I was a new customer and was given a thorough rundown of the menu options which I greatly appreciated. Definitely will be back soon!

Never had a bad drink or service here! Service is always super friendly and drinks hit the spot. Love matcha and the spin they take on it with so many different varieties. A must try! Yes, it's expensive but what isn't in Downtown Jersey City anymore lol at least the specialty drinks are worth it!

Good espresso drinks but every time I visit it smells like a pool.

Delicious!! Great service with a smile and a fully knowledgeable Barista. I'm new in the area will definitely be returning. The inside is very peaceful with meditative tunes.

Sober Shot is a treat! I come to Jersey City to visit one of my friends a few times a year, and I always like to stop in. My favorite drink is their iced coffee with the strawberry foam! I've never had a coffee with strawberry foam before and it is genuinely one of my favorite things I've ever had. I do wish they offered smaller sizes though. The drink is really really big, and is a bit pricey too- 2 iced coffees were $15.

I came by Sober Shot on a Saturday afternoon and they weren't busy. The cafe has some seating area where I saw people doing work. The place has great vibes and I would love to come do work/study here in the future! I got the Pink Lady which tasted absolutely amazing! It was strawberry milk foam with coffee! I definitely recommend! I would come back to try their other drinks and the custard eggs which I heard are very good!

Enjoyed the Sexy Matcha! It wasn't too sweet which is how I like my matcha. It's also not too strong (pure matcha has a bitter earthy taste) so it's good for people who are still trying to get a hang of matcha. I read my book here while finishing my drink, ambiance was great
The baristas here are so helpful! I didn't know what to get so I just got a regular coffee with a milk top and it was phenomenal. I went here after getting bagels (obviously) across the street but was such a good coffee I will be going back.

This place has outstanding coffee. Eventhough I was a little confused about the sugar. I've tried a cup and it was fantastic! The shop was clean and the employee were helpful. 10 Stars!

Since this is an espresso cafe, with a very expensive espresso machine, I would hope they would have had excellent coffee - but, it was more on par with a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts than the NYC staple third wave coffee. When I came there were no pastries, a few flies around, and a big emphasis on some sort of coffee mixed drink. Maybe that’s the “more”. Regardless, I hope this place succeeds as there is a need for good third wave espresso in the area, but I won’t be able to regular this place until they get their coffee in order. With the grinder and machine they have, it’s possible to get some nice beans and trained baristas to pump out excellent coffee, but to the loss of the neighborhood they have not yet done that.

Drink was good, but they messed up my egg custards really badly but still served them to me (see pic). They were burnt, broken, and there was barely any filling in any of them.

Really underwhelming. We didn't like the sweet cream foam AT ALL. We actually poured out the top foam in the street trash can. It's incredibly sweet and the texture is thick. Maybe this place is for people with a higher sugar tolerance (though I have a major sweet tooth), but I was disappointed to pay a premium price for such awful coffee
