Ordered: Small Iced Mazapan Latte (~$6)…read moreBanana Bread (~$4) Aya's take: Cafexico is a Mexico-inspired coffee shop in Hoboken. The location itself is pretty small, bright, with a few tables inside and outside. I've never seen or heard of mazapan before and figured this would be a great time to try it! Mazapan is a crumbly, sweet candy made out of peanuts and sugar. They essentially take this candy (which they have available for you to try) and crush it into the latte to make the Iced Mazapan Latte. The flavor profile is nutty, slightly toasty, and lightly sweet. It's actually not overpowering at all and brings a nice contrast to the espresso and milk. My only complaint is there was still chunks of mazapan on the bottom making it difficult to drink. The Banana Bread was a nice bite to accompany my latte but could've used more banana essence. Great try!

Bwè Kafe has saved my family one too many times when we needed to find a really quick and easy…read morecoffee shop for some caffeine. What I loved about this particular location was that it was just around the corner from our Airbnb on Willow Street, and they have a variety of non-dairy options, including almond, oat, macadamia, and pistachio milks. We usually ordered just coffees in the morning. I was hoping to make this our staple breakfast joint during our stay in Hoboken, though the kitchen is closed on Mondays + open Tuesday-Sunday at 8 AM. We DID try out their food one day when we arrived around 8:30 AM. I ordered the smoked salmon toast, which came with mixed greens, egg salad, and a hefty portion of smoked salmon on top of freshly baked white bread. I thought the food tasted great, and I was happy to have had leftovers for breakfast the next day. I appreciate the convenience that Bwè Kafe brought us when we stayed in Hoboken. I would happily recommend them to others.

Ordered: Blueberry Iced Latte (~$6)…read moreLavender Iced Latte (~$6) Aya's take: This location of Bwè Kafe is more charming & cozy compared to their other location on Adams St. We decided to try the Blueberry Iced Latte and Lavender Iced Latte. They have these as specials with cold brew but we decided to get it with espresso. Both drinks didn't quite hit the same this time. The lavender and blueberry flavors were both good, added some sweetness, and fruity/floral elements but for some reason, the latte didn't feel as cohesive. The staff were very friendly and offered to remake it if I didn't like it. I think the syrup wasn't strong enough or could've been better layered with the milk & espresso. Decent try!

Ordered: Iced Latte with Lavender (~$6)…read more Aya's take: If you're looking for a proper coffee in the area, Modcup is a solid choice with a few locations around Jersey City & Hoboken. My Iced Latte with Lavender was well-made. It was a good mix of creamy, sweet, and floral along with the caffeine kick I needed to start my day. The barista was super friendly and knew what he was doing. However, the person who took our orders was a bit unfriendly/cold which didn't help considering it was our first time there and we had questions. There isn't any seating at this location but there is a park across the street to enjoy your coffee while taking a stroll!

The barista asked me if I wanted the almond croissant warmed up and I said yes. When I arrived home the almond croissant was still warm. The almond croissant was huge and tasted so good! I enjoyed every bite of my breakfast almond croissant. Their iced coffee is so delicious! I usually take long to drink my 16 ounce cup of iced coffee but Modcup coffee's iced coffee I drank it so fast because of how good it was. Great little coffee shop conveniently located in front of a park. 10/10 coffee shop recommendation.

It's so cute and cozy, making it the perfect place to actually sit and enjoy a cup. Their coffee definitely lives up to the hype; the house drip I had was robust and incredibly flavorful, easily some of the best in the area. I enjoyed it so much that I even grabbed a bag of beans to brew at home. It's clear why this place gets so much praise, as the quality is consistent across the board. Whether you're stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or looking for a spot to linger, Modcup is a must-visit for anyone who takes their coffee seriously.

This Iced Latte gave me the caffeine kick I needed and was super pleasant to sip on all morning.
