What a pleasant experience here. I was staying with a cousin and she told me to stop by to support small businesses, and I'm glad we did. We just wanted to sit and people watch for a few mins, order a hot latte and yap. Very cute cafe! The owner was very welcoming and kind. He wanted to make sure we were satisfied. I wish him nothing but the best! :) read more

I came here earlier today and really enjoyed my experience. The coffee was yummy, I got the cookie butter iced latte. It was good coffee but I didn't really taste the cookie butter. My friend got the banana bread latte and it definitely had more flavor. We also got some pastries. The quiche was good, as was the everything croissant. It had an unexpectedly sweet cream cheese filling. Overall, the atmosphere is very homey and well decorated. I would definitely come here to get some work done and grab a quick bite. read more

Froth on Franklin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I stopped by here after my morning gym session and ordered an iced coffee. I was planning on eating breakfast at home but this danish looked really tempting to pass up on it. So I ordered the Cheese & Guava Danish and it was delicious. I enjoyed every single bite of it. Cute coffee shop to grab a pastry and your morning brew and sit here reading your book in peace and tranquility. The girl at the counter seems friendly; she looked happy to be at work with a smile on her face. 10/10 coffee shop recommendation. read more

I love this little spot away from the avenues and tucked into a quiet block. The selection of drinks are plentiful and they have a nice selection of muffins and scones ect. I love the way it's decorated and it's a nice quiet spot to come on a weekday morning to sit and get some work done or enjoy peacefulness. Everything is freshly made and the seating areas are so artsy and clean and inspiring. Definitely want to come back and try more muffins. I had the kale and cheese croissant heated up. Really good and flakey! read more

(Dined 07/12/2023 WE @ 3:15pm): They may serve frothy things at this place on Franklin, but I opted for something dirty and some pastries! A local realtor suggested Froth On Franklin as a convenient place for our initial in-person meeting. This place was barely a ten-minute walk from my friend's place which was great and allowed me to further familiarize myself with the neighborhood. Generally speaking, I wasn't much of a coffee person, but I was usually open to eatery exploration. Would I find options other than frothiness!? PURCHASE Iced Dirty Chai w/Lowfat Milk 24floz Cup ($5.95): Since I didn't drink coffee (unless I was taste-testing it), my other option was tea and frankly the name caught my attention. With a light aroma of various baking spices and a more overt matching flavor, this was an enjoyable refreshing drink during this humid day. I could've done with less ice since it took up so much space in the cup, and the lactose residual effect was no bueno when I got back to my friend's place, but I'd order this again. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AWPyzb2o30nqKDJTUjqRdw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Cheese Danish ($4.50): A large flaky pastry with blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, this was a lovely way to introduce myself to this small establishment. I wished I asked if it could've been slightly warmed up; nonetheless, it was tasty and filling while paired with my drink. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ubkpuDFj1vBoUynTp1I7TA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw THE "APPLE FRITTER IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD TOUR" CONTINUED... Filled Apple Fritter ($4.25): I dove into this the following morning. Not that I was an apple fritter snob - eff it...yes I was! - but there was a certain way I liked mine. 1st, the price was comparably higher to the going rate. 2nd, it was generally round, thick and dense as I liked but not generally fluffy, and more the size of my palm (small) rather than my face (an ode to the great Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys). 3rd, it was filled with gooey apple bits. 4th, the overall darker brown color was very good (I preferred a darker hue) with no burnt ends (I loved it burnt), and the heavy glaze made for a good cracking effect and quite a mess. It was void of any smaller crunchy odd crannies, corners, and nooks which I liked to break off into small little morsels. 5th, based on its temperature it was room temperature with zero hints of oil pockets but had gooey apple bits and juices that leaked into your mouth and dripped down your throat. Overall, it had very good value - 4.0 STARS. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1iUCZWnpDWDfU-BBFl9HUg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Non-Cash Fee ($0.59): There was no mention of this until I got the receipt, but this appeared to be a growing movement, so I regrettably accepted it. SERVICE Warmly greeted by a lone female, I was the only customer at the time, so she quickly handled my order. She continued to clean as closing time neared when eventually the rest of my party arrived. She cordially allowed us to stay past closing time but kindly asked us to depart when she finished. Props for her generosity and patience - thank you! PARKING (Street Only; N/A this instance) I walked from my friend's place. Otherwise, as was the case for much of "The Heights" in Jersey City, there were plenty of spots along the main drag of Franklin St. and all surrounding streets if you were lucky enough to find an empty spot, or you took public transportation which stopped nearby - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A bright casual open space wooden motif with the elongated order counter and display cases directly to your left, a central communal long table https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6MXn5XlIWEZAREy2uc19wQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw to met strangers, a cozy nook with a comfy couch and padded bench seating in the front corner, a high bar table along the other front corner along the windows, and a handful of framed pictures hung on the walls. Very good natural lighting came through all of the windows and door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while soft music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=U6PSTtcnVDEnBdmMP_2ONA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Froth On Franklin was a nice find albeit I wasn't a coffee shop person. Their hours were morning through late lunch. The prices were slightly elevated, a reasonable menu selection, very good portions, and effective service. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

A girl can never review too many coffee shops. I've been to FROTH a bunch (like 2-3 punch cards worth of times) and I plan to make it a usually stop for a caffeine fix. The good (it's all good): -The coffee is great. I've gotten everything from a hot cup of black coffee to an oat iced latte. Always great. -Everyone that works there is super friendly, helpful if I am trying to decide what to order, and quick so there is never a long wait, even with a line. -Cozy spot to sit and chat, plop with your laptop for a bit or grab & go. Big FROTH fan. read more

Made my way to Froth twice the past couple weeks while exploring The Heights area. The decorations are so cute! The seating is abundant and has a cosy corner with couches. I've tried the peppermint mocha latte and their honey butter latte. Loved them both! They seem to do the seasonal drinks really well. I also sampled some different croissants and macaroons. They were pretty tasty but their drinks are the star. Both baristas I met were kind and friendly! read more

Located in the heights on Franklin St, this place has a cute ambiance and gives relaxing vibes to have a coffee especially during weekends! I decided to go for black velvet which is a dark roast and asked for a shot of whole milk to be added which turned out to be Cafe au Lait. The dark roast felt smooth enough and was refreshing enough to wake me up on a gloomy day from the little sleep I had in my eyes! I also decided to try out their 'everything croissant' with cream cheese, it's just the bagel version of croissant and it tasted good. The pastry though seems to be bought from somewhere but was fresh enough to start the morning! The service was quick and the baristas were friendly, overall a good local place to have a coffee. Would definitely love to try out their other selections as well in the future! read more

Froth on Franklin - The Perfect Mocha. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

FROTH on Franklin is such a cute little coffee shop with two amazing owners that really make you feel at home. Inside the shop you have some fun seating options, you can sit by the window in a built out booth (not too comfy) or a long high top table that you'll have to share with other peeps. I visited FROTH bright and early on a Saturday with my fiancé we had two drip coffee's, an almond croissant (my favorite), and an Apple turn over which comes with a side of vanilla ice cream. A very nice twist on breakfast LOL. Everything was warm gooey and delicious. Parking is limited to street parking so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for a spot. I'll definitely be back to try some other fun food and drink options. read more

Second time here and I enjoy the coffee once again. It's a very authentic coffee shop with lots of nice decor with positive messages and cozy vibes, The coffee is also on point with that good good espresso machine lol They also offer good tea from TeaPigs and a variety of pastries. Only area of opportunity would be having sugar free options for coffee syrups. read more

I lived around the corner from FROTH for a few years but recently moved out of the area and I miss them dearly. Al and his family and staff are such an asset to our Heights neighborhood. I think I've tried almost every one of their pastries at this point and all have been wonderful. Their chocolate croissant is my go-to, so highly recommend that. Pre-pandemic, I used to spend a few hours a week working remotely here because the atmosphere was quiet, welcoming and outlets were a plenty. read more

I just discovered this coffee shop while dogsitting in the heights, and am so impressed! Cozy seating area, great pastries, coffee, croissants and quiche, and friendly, fast service! I'm making this my regular spot whenever I am in Jersey City. read more

There is no shortage of great coffee in the Heights, but Froth will always be our number one. That's probably because of the combination of great coffee and a warm atmosphere. The staff and owners are always so welcoming and kind- it makes you want to come back (even if it is the 4th or 5th in proximity to our home). "Froth Fridays" - as we call it in our house- has become a staple and adds a bit of extra caffeine and brightness to the weekend. Thank you Froth team! read more

A pretty cozy cafe I must say. Plenty seating space and definitely a nice interior. One can easily come here and work all day. Could be a bit noisy so I would get a pair of noise canceling headphones. But the high bar table and chair setup is perfect if you wanna work on your laptop and a few couches if you wanna enjoy your book while sipping their amazing coffee. read more

I'm a bit gutted that I haven't discovered Froth on Franklin before because its a great coffee shop in The Heights district of JC. Tucked away on a cross street it is a bright and spacious spot with cute decor and lots of different seating areas. The people who work here are all so nice and the counter service is efficient. They have barista drinks, smoothies, sweet and savoury pastries, cookies and a daily sandwich. They use Kobrick's coffee and my coffee tasted great - very flavoursome without being bitter. Prices are good and there's a really nice atmosphere and community vibe here. I will be back! read more

I'm a coffee snob and disappointed by most spots I visit while out of town.... But this was perfect! Family owned and operated, amazing coffee, and even better smiles from behind the counter. The pastries are wonderful (croissants taste better than what I had at the French bakery a few blocks down) and great place to plug-in if you need workspace while enjoying coffee. Have to try this place!!?? read more

This is a great spot to either grab a high quality cup of coffee "to go", sit-sip-chat with friends, or bring a laptop and do some work. Our visit was on a Sunday morning and while not crowded, a constant stream of customers came and went while we sat at the rustic high top wooden table in the center of the cafe. The decor has a hip vintage feel with old photos from the neighborhood and is tastefully decorated with a mix of tables, chairs, counters and stools, with some loungier seating areas too. Coffee - we tried a variety, including one of the brewed (medium roast) coffees, a cappuccino, and a cafe mocha. All were delicious and well-made by the barista who was meticulously working behind the counter. The kids chose a strawberry smoothie which was a good consistency (not too thick or thin), made with fresh fruit and milk, and was not overly sugary. Food options - I opted for the savory Chili Cheddar twist. It is like a croissant made into the shape of a pretzel. It was buttery and flakey; cut by the sharpness of the cheddar with a final hint of spicy goodness from the red pepper flakes. My kids and husband went for sweet - double chocolate, cranberry, and coffeecake muffins which were also moist and full of flavor. I was hoping one of them would have tried the cream cheese zucchini muffin, it was calling my name...I will have to go back for that one! The chili cheddar pretzel twist was so good I made my daughter go and order her own since she ate like half of mine! I in turn ate the rest of her muffin which was a nice way to polish off the rest of my coffee. read more

It's one thing to be a coffee place that doesn't open til after 8am(when many need to be already working) but you could at least be available during your advertised hours. A "be back in 5 min" sign during your prime hours is kind of ridiculous when running a business read more

Love the cold brew and the spinach kale ricotta croissant is delicious! Very friendly neighborhood staple!

In a place saturated with trendy coffee shops and hipster hangouts, this place really stands out among the crowd. As a new place in an up and coming neighborhood, it's great to see a good business run by a local heights resident. But regardless of that, their product is excellent. An extreme variety of options and flavors, as well as seasonal ones, each and every one is a treat. The place itself is also extremely relaxing, having a large seating area good for one person, or for your entire squad. The owner is often there too, ensuring excellent service and local bonding. The Phamily will be back to study soon :)) read more

Froth is the local, family owned cafe with unique decor, terrific service, and excellent coffee. The owners are friendly and personable, and the environment is suitable for longer visits. There are many outlets available to charge your laptop or cell phone, and the seating options are varied and comfortable. The prosciutto and mozzarella croissant, and the array of different types of muffins available are genuinely delicious. They now have a loyalty card- every 7th purchase nets a free 8th cup. I would recommend a detour to this place for your caffeinated needs, as it is a superior experience overall when compared to Starbucks and the like. read more

When we moved to the neighborhood last year, we weee excited to find several coffee shops nearby. It took some time for us to visit Froth because it's a bit further than some of the others. But now it's our favorite (and really only) choice. Froth is welcoming- from the smell of fresh coffee beans to the kind staff. And their drinks are some of the best I've ever had- not just in the area. We'll be coming to Froth for a long time!! read more
