Specialty lattes
Tiffany A.

What a lovely coffee shop! In town for the weekend and it snowed overnight - we felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. The shop had some seasonal beverages - two of us for a hazelnut maple latte, then a cortado and a normal coffee. The specialty latte was delicious - not overpoweringly sweet. Also I thought the prices were very reasonable! We also got an almond croissant to split and it had a light and delicious airiness to it. The only ding I'll say is the flow of the space - it's a little tight to get through with people in line when you're walking from the back of the shop to the front. Would definitely come back if In the area!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Hoboken. I love to come here to work, meet with a friend or just grab coffee on the weekend. They have good gluten free pastry options. I came in around 2pm on a Saturday and it was all gone. Come early. I love the calm vibe, friendly staff and nice people in the coffee shop. They also have some music and events in the evening sometimes and a community board that truly helped me with a career transition at some point in my life (a resume miracle worker had posted an ad and I responded). If you haven't been - come on out!

I walked by this cafe after taking a SoulCycle class nearby. There were a lot of foot traffic when I was there. Most customers were there with their laptops. I enjoyed the hot chocolate that I ordered. The barista who made it was very friendly. The service was fast. I would come back here again to try their coffee.

Rose honey latte - seasonal
Genia N.

I've been a regular here for years and love that baristas are sweet and know my order. It's a great place for a quick coffee on the way to work or after the gym. I love that the owners are often there and engage with the customers. My only complaint is that the space gets a bit crowded and slightly hectic during rush times mostly because there are a bunch of regulars sitting by the door right in the area where you wait for your order. Other than that, great spot!

Lavender cold brew latte
Katarina L.

This is a GREAT spot if you're looking to hunker down and get some work done while sipping on great coffee. This is also a great spot if you are looking to grab and go with a matcha latte, cold brew or a different specialty coffee drink. Anddddd, with all of the additional outdoor seating they have, it's pretty perfect for sitting and hanging out for a bit. They always had a few tables but set up a parklet with a few more seats this past year. I usually get their matcha lattes with added vanilla because they make them super well and there is never any matcha powder clumps. On my last visit, I asked for a recommendation from the barista and ordered the lavender cold brew latte. Delicious! And refreshing and the perfect caffeinated treat. It was sweet and so tasty and I hope they still have it the next time I drop by. The shop is super cute and has plenty of seating. I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and it was filled with people on laptops studying and working. They have shelves and shelves of goods, candles, coffee makers and all things for a trendy home. I did think about getting a fun and wonky looking candle but it was a little outside of my price range. Still, I'll be back for coffees and teas every once and awhile!

A cozy cafe on Washington St. right in front of Elysian Cafe. Small but heavy traffic .... people in & out ordering coffee. The 3 of us had cortado ... @3.25 ... quite good [But, I definitely prefer the cortado from Frisson @ Hell's Kitchen in the city]. Cortado of bwe was of small portion. Not at all enough for me. I was still craving more.

I loved this location! The flower shop selection was a bit small but the cafe portion was really nice. There is plenty of seating inside and good wifi connection. I also loved the variety of seating: couch for hanging out and long tables for studying. The staff were very friendly and helpful, service is a 10/10.

Outdoors

Top three reasons why you should make Bwe your staple coffee shop 3. Efficient and friendly service plus nice outdoor dining area with really short waiting time for tables 2. I thought their lattes were rich and yummy and then I tried their Genmaicha tea with oat milk - heaven! 1. Prime dog-petting area with a lot of neighborhood puppers on stroll

I had a wonderful experience with my partner. Place is really nicely decorated and a great stop on that hot day We got the lavender lemonade and chai latte. I've tried a lot of floral based drinks (rose/lavender etc.) where the flower tasted way too strong, but their lemonade was really good and well balanced. Would definitely suggest, the lavender gave it a nice colour and bitterness to balance it out. Chai latte was really good, not as iconic as their lemonade but it really good. If you want a small kick without coffee I'd definitely recommend it.

Hot Chocolate - Regular
Andrew T.

Hot chocolate with steamed milk and Godiva chocolate syrup. Slightly disappointed since the hot chocolate was more of a "warm chocolate "... flavor was also very very light.

Some of the best coffee I could get here in Hoboken, though the price could definitely be better. Line goes by fast.

First cardamom! Didn't know what to expect but it somehow exceeded my expectations. The bun was…read moreairy yet with a nice bite, perfectly sweet & sticky, and gone in 60 seconds. The best little midday pick me up in the city. Staff was a delight. Inside it's warm & cozy, and I could imagine adding a hot cup of coffee to my order only would've elevated my quick stay.

Ok guys here's my eclectic opinion on this spot…read more It's a small quaint spot, but a nice vibe to sit in the back & chill or meetup w/ friends. It's also a very busy spot. Note: Order boxes of these delicious buns & cakes for Office events, House parties, Bridal Showers, Birthdays , Home on weekends drinking tea or coffee etc. I ordered (4) buns. Two Cardamoms very moist & tasty with a hint of bergamot. I may be wrong but the taste is very exotic w/ out loads of sugar like most bakeries. I'm diabetic so that's important to me. The other (2) were the Brown sugar & Walnut, again very tasty & the cinnamon bun. All yummy but we all have our preferences. So, if you haven't been yet you need to patronage this spot you won't regret it. Plus, constant patrons coming & waiting on line to place orders. Awesome! says a lot. I'm never impressed with the size of a place, but the influx of foot traffic & cleanliness. Friendly staff! I've visited Malmo, Sweden & it's nice to know when I have guest visiting I can buy good pastries from here to impress w/ out the sugar rush. I recommend this spot, it's trendy.

Okay so some drinks were SOOO yum. But other drinks were a bit average. Tiramisu latte- AMAZING,…read moredefinitely on the sweeter side though. Barista was kind enough to make the tiramisu drink with matcha for me. The mascarpone cream was yum but the matcha taste was not really there, it was way better with coffee. There was a matcha pineapple drink which was quite refreshing. If you like pineapple, this is a great choice. The salted pollen coffee latte was VERY average. It was a bit too savory for my liking, and not too strong. We got our drinks from the little pick up window. Line moved quick but barista was slightly grouchy. Drinks all looked SOOOO cute though. Great for pictures! Overall tiramisu latte: 8/10 Rest averaged: 6.7/10

A nice, cozy coffee shop and we were greeted right away when we walked in and the service felt…read morefriendly from the start. Prices are on the higher side, but we kept it simple with a couple of iced lattes and a margherita pizza. The coffee was honestly amazing, definitely the highlight. The pizza was pretty good as well, though smaller than expected and a bit delicate to eat (the cheese slides off easily), so it's best enjoyed with a fork and knife. Seating is a bit tight and can feel a little cramped at times, but it wasn't a big issue for us. It's a great spot for a date or catching up with a friend, though probably not ideal for larger groups. Overall, smooth service, friendly staff, and a really nice vibe.
