Prosciutto and fig sandwich
Natalie T.

I think this is officially my favorite Hoboken cafe. Their espresso roast is delicious, coffee always solid. The food options are good, with large portions and filling. Nice flavors coming together too, i like the tomato and cucumber salad on my avocado toast. Added nice crunch and dimension. The only thing lacking is that cheddar scone - it is not a scone and waaay too dense. The rest makes up for it though. Really cute cafe with lots of seating and good music.

I went to Bwe Kafe quickly before doing some food shopping. It was my first time here and boy oh boy was I amazing with the coffee shop. It's such a hidden gem, it's a spacious coffee shop, with breakfast food items for purchase. My iced cappuccino with oak milk was the best iced cappuccino I have had! The taste was phenomenal. I ordered myself a grilled cheese sandwich and I ate half of it and saved the other half for lunch. I liked the onions in my grilled cheese sandwich it gave my sandwich a nice flavor. I liked how crunchy the bread was. I ate my small portion of mixed greens at the coffee shop. It's a study friendly coffee shop where you can plug in your headphones and just Zone out. Great place to catch up with a friend over coffee. They have plenty of space indoors and have outdoor seating available if you choose to enjoy some sunlight outdoors right in front of the business. 10/10 coffee shop experience! I would love to come back in the near future for more iced coffee and a tasty breakfast food item.

Nook upstairs
Alyssa J.

This is the coziest cafe if you live uptown in Hoboken! I really enjoy the open floor high ceiling layout... the nook upstairs is my favorite spot to bring my laptop and work in. The staff is friendly, the coffee is delicious, and they have fun seasonal flavors. There's a lot of great sandwich options too, the good morning biscuit being my favorite. Check it out!

I've been wanting to try bwè for a while now, but never really passed by it. I went to a new church across the street this morning and finally spotted it. I came in after service and was very impressed with how much space they had. Great place to get some studying or work done. I actually went back to my car to get my laptop and decided to stay. I ordered their biscuit sandwich and cherry pie matcha w a shot of espresso. The biscuit sandwich was DELISH. So fluffy and flavorful, the biscuit alone was the star, but the turkey bacon, cheese and egg made for a great breakfast. Tbh because of the color I can't really tell if my drink had matcha, they may have misunderstood me and thought I asked it to be switched for espresso bc I couldn't really taste the matcha either, but I was not mad! It made for a delicious latte too. This might be my new favorite drink! I'll definitely be back soon as a remote work girlie.

Large Iced Lavender Latte (~$7): with oat milk
Aya E.

Ordered: Large Iced Lavender Latte (~$7): with oat milk Matcha Loaf (~$4) Aya's take: If you're searching for the best Iced Lavender Latte in town, look no further because I've found it at bwè cafe! I'm a lavender latte connoisseur and everything about this was perfect. The lavender was prominent in every sip and gave the latte those floral notes I love. The espresso was also good quality and overall, it was silky, smooth, and not too sweet at all. If you like lavender, you will love this. Highly recommend! The Matcha Loaf tasted like a plain loaf of cake. I tried so hard to taste the matcha and I honestly couldn't. I would skip this next time. Super spacious with tons of natural light which I loved. I would definitely come back!

I did not try the food so I cannot rate based on food, but the coffee and the hot chocolate were both good. The service was good as well, the barista was friendly and answered all my questions without seeming annoyed. They had live music which is why we originally went. Really talented artist- Javian. The event was great. The café overall is beautiful inside and very spacious. The art decor is really cool. It definitely has a hipster/artsy, "We love all kind of vibe". I would definitely go back and try the food next time. The options looked pretty good.

Came about 10am on a Saturday and they were very busy. None of the employees smile, or are very friendly. Literally none. We bought a bag of beans, a latte and a flat white, a breakfast sandwich and an avocado toast. They all came out relatively quickly, despite how many people they were preparing for. I was disappointed that although they gave the food on plates, the drinks were in disposable cups. We were lucky to find seats after we ordered. The avocado toast was very difficult to eat or cut. The center of the bread was very soft but the crust was impossible. The salad was just covered in oil. The coffees were a 5/10. Very thin and the almond milk was quite sweet. Although I visited bwe at another location in the past, I won't be coming back again.

We really enjoy this spot! Good coffee and good food. Their Breakfast Sandwich ($7.5) was a bit weak (bland) with just croissant, egg and cheese, so I took a star off, but otherwise no complaints. If you sign up through their rewards program, you also get a free coffee drink on your birthday!

Smoked Salmon Toast and Iced Americano
Maia Y.

Seriously, this cafe deserves a higher rating. It is my go to spot for lunch and work on the weekends. The upstairs area is perfect for working, reading, or catching up with friends. Their green salad bowl with an addition of smoked salmon is my hyper-fixation. I like to chop everything up and mix it well before piling it on the bread provided. The olive tepanade adds great umami to the dish. Last week, there was also a coffee pop-up where friendly coffee roasters from Columbia were kind enough to explain all about coffee and how beans are processed!

Smoked Salmon Toast
Quiana W.

Bwe is literally my favorite coffee shop. I have To say that they have some of the best tasting coffee. I usually get a cappuccino with almond milk and for whatever reason the baristas on Washington street make a better cappuccino than this location so that's why I took off one star. I have not had a perfect coffee from the Adams Street location as yet. However what I love about this location is it's size and the food options. This location is much bigger but still has the cozy coffee shop feel. There's ample space for those with a laptop and those that just want to have conversations over coffee with a friend. The fact that they have food options and not just pastries is a plus. I had Salmon Toast recently that was just what I needed to start my day. This location is perfect in the cut off the beaten path away from traffic. I'll continue to visit and hope for a better cappuccino.

Chocolate Croissant and Chai Latte
T. G.

First time visiting this location! It's pretty big, they had a lot of tables and chairs plus a couch area to lounge and an area upstairs... when we walked in we weren't sure where the line was!? We each ordered chocolate croissants and drinks! We tried hot chocolate, cold brew and almond milk chai latte. I always like the chai lattes at the Washington location and these are the same. Line moves quick and quality is good- would recommend!

I've been to the Washington location and I'm so happy they opened a north end location! Finally was able to visit and I got a hot chocolate, as usual. I got mine with skim milk. It was sweet and delicious. Definitely kept me warm in the really cold weather. The staff are extremely friendly. The customers were even kind. The interior is so pretty and big. There are two floors I believe. There is seating on the first and on the second, but I think both are closed now. There's a Little City Books INSIDE of the cafe! What more could you ask for? I also love the touches of flowers. They are also selling some products that you see when you walk in. I noticed natural soaps and repurposed cups. There's a lot more of a selection but I couldn't stay for long to check it out. Definitely returning to try something else!

Ambience
Khyati V.

This is probably the cutest coffee place I have been to. The lemon poppy seed cake was SOOO GOOD! Great ambience, chill vibe. There also a space to work upstairs. And the named plants were a hilarious touch!

There was only one other family dining, and the space stayed empty the entire time. The service was genuinely great. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and a really cute, cozy space. I especially loved the Christmas décor and overall vibe--it felt warm and inviting. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the prices. The house salad was $13 and honestly one of the most basic, smallest, and most boring salads I've ever had--very underwhelming for the cost. We also ordered quesadillas, a cheeseburger with fries, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. My son enjoyed the burger and fries, and the quesadillas were flavorful, generously filled with chicken and veggies, and came with sour cream, pico, and guac. The tomato soup was tasty, while the grilled cheese was just okay. One small but appreciated detail: canned soda. Cold, crisp, and not flat which is always a win. Lunch for 3 came in just under $100, which felt high given what we received. One frustration was being seated in a tight corner right next to the kitchen even though the dining room was completely empty. We were so close I could literally see into the kitchen and count items on the shelves. On top of that, the hostess repeatedly walked by calling out "corner," which became distracting and honestly a bit irritating. Overall, I liked the vibe, but the food-to-price ratio missed the mark for me. It wasn't bad--just alright.

For dinner we shared the steak sandwich and spicy vodka bolognese. We did another lychee martini and I tried the frozen Irish coffee also $9 happy hour!! Both entrees were amazing.

My friend ate half her tomato mozzarella pizza, complimenting the fresh tomatoes, but noting an uneven bake: too hard on the outer perimeter, too soft below the cheese. My steak sandwich lacked char and had no depth of umami, along with a forgettable bun and fries that became oily and mushy way too quickly. The margarita picante is hardly spicy, so don't worry about letting your spice-averse friends take a sip.

My cousin and I decided to go…read morehere on a whim a few weeks, and it was one of the best meals we had in a really long time - so much so, that we went back here last night and had nearly the exact same thing. The food was excellent! The menu has so many options for different tastes and palettes. It also seems like they rotate dishes depending on the season which is pretty impressive. Both times we split the beet salad and their cacio e pepe as an appetizer. The cacio e pepe was one of the tastiest I've ever had. The fact that they used mezze rigatoni instead of angel hair is a nice touch. I prefer rigatoni anyway, and it gave the pasta that extra something-something, plus the ridges helped soak up all that sauce. It had just the right amount of peppery bite too. I also opted for the hangar steak - holy moly! Tender, cooked just right, and the fried potatoes were to die for. Both times, the servers was extremely attentive. Also, the place itself is small but cute. I like that there are different sections to sit in - at the bar, towards Bloomfield, in the back with all the windows. I would love to come here for brunch or perhaps manifest a date here, lol! If I lived in Hoboken, I would eat here every day. Can't wait to come back here again and again!

Our dinner and overall experience at Anthony David's was stellar!…read more We started with the Heirloom Baby Beets, which were served with citrus, pistachios, and a creme fraiche. It was a light, summery appetizer in which the earthiness of the beets was offset beautifully by the bright citrus notes. For the entrees, we got the Truffle Carbonara, Pistachio-Crusted Branzino, and the Hanger Steak. All were exceptionally good! My steak was cooked perfectly to medium-rare, was well-seasoned, and was taken up an extra notch by the delicious peppercorn sauce. The branzino was also a big hit with both people who ordered it. They praised the dish at length, and one person kept going back for more bites even after announcing she was stuffed! Our server was vivacious and happily chatted with us about the many menu options, giving us tips about the most popular dishes not just among customers, but the staff as well. She was great! I encourage you to treat yourself to dinner here. It was a lovely meal!

We decided on the Avocado Toast with Feta Cheese and French Toast with Fried Chicken. To wash them down, we ordered each a latte. Not sure if we just didn't order the right selections. Sadly, the food wasn't as tasty as we expected. The French Toast wasn't cooked thoroughly, and the Avocado Toast was not touched. The coffee was weak. The price was comparable to the area. The server was friendly and accommodating. Nothing like the true French places we've encountered.
