It tastes so good and like ACTUAL ube... not like any of that fake Starbucks stuff. I also got their calamansi tea... It's so refreshing. Almost like a fruit tea you would get at a bubble tea shop. The shop owner even offered to make the drink less sweet than usual since I'm not a fan of super sweet drinks. Their cheesecakes are also phenomenal. Again, the ube one actually tastes like ube!! They definitely use some jam and homemade ube syrups to flavor their stuff, unlike most places that only use ube extract. Loved the decor and how friendly the staff was. Would highly recommend.

Call Me Mia was my third and final coffee shop stop during a weekend in Jersey City, and it was a…read moresolid way to end the trip! I ordered the Iced Vanilla Protein Cold Brew, and my mom went with the French Velvet Latte (lavender and vanilla). Both drinks were delicious and well-balanced. The French Velvet in particular had a lovely floral flavor without being overpowering. My only complaint is that it felt a bit small for the price. Our group also picked up a few croissants, and everyone enjoyed them. They leaned more sweet than savory, which isn't usually my preference, but they were still tasty. The drink menu offers plenty of variety, though the pastry selection is fairly limited, and the pastries aren't baked in-house. The real standout here is the vibe. Call Me Mia is quaint but incredibly chic. The decor feels thoughtfully curated, with vintage telephones displayed in elegant frames, antique teapots, moka pots, and other charming touches throughout the space. It feels cozy, stylish, and very Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. As for service, the barista was efficient and knew what he was doing, but he came across as a bit short and matter-of-fact. Not rude, just not particularly warm or welcoming. Still, the drinks were excellent, so he definitely delivered where it mattered most. Overall, I'd happily stop back for another coffee and to soak in the beautiful atmosphere. If you're looking for a stylish coffee shop with creative drinks, Call Me Mia is worth a visit.

Everything we tried was excellent, including the hot chocolate, vanilla protein cold brew, and the cappuccino.

Love that there is a spot for fantastic Israeli treats in Hoboken, from rugelach to borek, everything is just so good. When visiting friends in the area, this has become my go to spot to make a box of treats to bring over. And when I find myself leaving any sort of activity or class in the Monroe Center, I will very often stop in for a little afternoon snack or pick me up. Happy to have discovered Yuki's!

Woot! Man I had a fun stroll on Washington Street and Julietta was my favorite stop!…read more This is a very cute place and they have a great selection of goodies that will make you feel like you stumbled into a shop in Italy. Gelato, macarons, assorted pastries, cafe espresso and friendly service. It's probably good that I live a long distance away or I'd be eating gelato here every day. The quality of the gelato is excellent and they make good espresso too. I tried pistachio and nocciola (hazelnut). Loved it! If you go alone, you're biting what you're buying for yourself - gelato with 2, 3, or 4 scoops. Prices for larger sizes are an awesome deal compared to the 2 scoop piccolo. So, if you're with a date or someone you're willing to scoop with, consider buying a single larger size to share. You'll have considerable money. They also have a recorder thingy so you can video yourself there and email the recording. Again, really love this place. Highly recommend!!

We stopped by around 9:30am on a Saturday; if you're eyeing a specific item, definitely go early because they had already sold out of some and we got the last Masa Azul which turned out to be my favorite item we got! It's so earthy and nutty with a subtle sweetness from the corn and that delicate butter on top which adds moisture and creaminess to each bite. The Guava Croissant was also a great try; the croissant was flaky and buttery with bites of sweet, tart guava jam inside. The Strawberry Cinnamon Roll was my least favorite; I liked the strawberry cream but wasn't getting cinnamon roll vibes. It needed to be softer, more cinnamony, and some caramelization from the frosting would have really elevated it. Both Iced Lattes we got were actually so well-made! I highly recommend the Iced Wildflower Latte. As someone who usually gets floral flavors like lavender and rose, they nailed it with their housemade syrups. So good and complimented the pastries well. Their containers are not suitable for pastries; they should use boxes instead and I was also a little bummed that their lattes didn't come in their cute cups they show on Instagram. Good try, all in all!

Spoiler alert: the hype is justified. The family wanted pastries to go with breakfast, so I stopped in and was immediately impressed by the selection. I had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly friendly and happy to recommend some of his personal favorites along with the bakery's best sellers. I also love supporting minority-owned businesses, and everything here is baked fresh in-house. For our haul, I grabbed the Cinnamon Bun, Nutella Pistachio Croissant, Butter Croissant, and a Quesito, along with a hot Lilo Latte. Every single item was phenomenal. The pastries were flaky, buttery, fresh, and packed with flavor. The Nutella Pistachio Croissant was especially memorable, and the cinnamon bun was the perfect balance of soft, sweet, and indulgent. Honestly, everything was so good that I'm already considering another visit tomorrow before I leave just to try more items. The bakery itself is small with no seating, but the setup is charming. I loved how the pastries are displayed almost museum-style behind the glass cases, and being able to see directly into the kitchen adds to the experience. ‍ It gives you confidence that everything is being made with care right there on-site. One thing to note: these pastries are not cheap. But they're also not your average bakery pastries. They're generously sized, made with quality ingredients, and absolutely worth the price. Between the portion sizes and the incredible flavor, I left feeling like I got exactly what I paid for. If you're in Jersey City and love pastries, Butter Bakery is a must-visit. Just be prepared to leave with more than you planned to buy!
