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.

The Cliff in Jersey City, NJ. This cute cafe nestled in Jersey City, NJ needs to be on your list. It’s a few steps away from 9th Street light rail stop making it super convenient to get to. It gives a neighborhood vibe-serving delicious coffe and super healthy but amazing food! Everything is homemade here from the cheddar chive biscuits to the brioche French toast. the cliff is open 7 days a week, is BYOB and there’s a super cute patio garden in the back during the Spring and Summer time! ☕️🍳

Chive biscuit was incredible. Fluffy and crisp at the same time. Added some sriracha for some kick and it was perfect. Staff is always helpful with suggestions and occasional substitutions.

Açai bowl was just mid. Better to add some granola for variety, and have it less of a slowly melting ice cube. Fruit on top is nice though.
Didn’t get coffee from here because the machine looks quite basic.
Service had zero warmth, and venue had little space. Go to Lil Dove Cafe around the corner instead.
