    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Lovely cafe tucked away under the viaduct. It's a rather large space which has two levels - tables inside on the ground level as well as upstairs and outdoor seating based on the weather. The advantage is that since it's under the viaduct, it's protected from the rain if not the wind. It's pretty well frequented and they have a decent menu for both breakfast and lunch. I ordered the Cous Cous Bowl which was absolutely phenomenal! It comes with two thick slices of freshly baked toasty bread slathered in a to-die-for Olive Tapenade! Fantastic melange of flavors and textures with a perfectly soft center half boiled egg! It was very filling and I wouldn't have finished it if it wasn't so, so good! They also have a little shop tucked away in the corner which has a nice selection of trendy looking items.

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

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.
