This is my favourite cafe in Jersey Heights. The team are so friendly and chilled, making you welcome whether you’re working from home with a coffee or having a full meal with a friend. The food is good quality home cooking made with love and care. We will keep coming back! Thank you 🙏

Small but cozy, easy going atmosphere.
Loved the lemon ricotta pancakes and the breakfast burrito.
The service was very good and even when we mixed up our order, the waitress took care of it with no issues. Kids friendly and close to public transport to Manhattan.

Was so excited to try this cute place. Went south very fast. Ms. Grumpy at counter didn't not want to be at work today. Anyway, she told me I could sit out back and a server would take my order. Server brought menu and the coffee I ordered. Then she disappeared. About 15 minutes later I walked back inside and asked if someone could take my order. No one showed up. The restaurant was about 1/3 full. I walked out. What a let down.

Went for breakfast with my wife. The watermelon was not too sweet and very smooth! The French Toast was perfect, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle and a covered in fruit! Prices are great and food and service was really 5 star experience! Such a lovely experience, coming back for sure! 😁

The Cliff is a cozy gem in Jersey City Heights perfect for a morning breakfast or laid back brunch. The space has great energy, making it an ideal spot to start your day. I had the avocado toast with poached eggs, and it was absolutely delicious. My husband went with the breakfast burrito, which was packed with flavor. We finished things off with the French toast sweet, satisfying, and the perfect ending to a great meal. Can’t wait to go back!

Love this little spot! An outdoor deck in the back and good amount of seating indoors. The menu has lots of yummy options, especially if you’re vegan or vegetarian!

I had such a great experience at The Cliff! I ordered the Cobb salad with shrimp, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The shrimp were cooked just right and added a delicious twist to the classic dish.

What really makes this spot stand out is the backyard area. It's a hidden gem—spacious, beautifully set up, and perfect for enjoying a summer meal outdoors. Whether you're looking for a relaxing lunch or a casual evening hangout, The Cliff nails the atmosphere.
