    Great first impression for this new cafe in Hoboken. The menu is very limited but still has lots of delicious options. I got the cin-caccia and breakfast burrito. I took my order to-go and it was ready relatively quickly. The interior is very cute and the team was efficient and kind.

    Had a great breakfast at Mile Square Cafe. Love the atmosphere with the owners walking around talking with customers and good, quick service on a busy Sunday morning. We tried vanilla lattes and they tasted good with just the right amount of foam. We had MSC Breakfast with tasty ricotta scrambled eggs, sour dough focaccia and a tomato and cucumber salad and White Toast, with heaping egg white with ricotta and a little spice on sour dough toast. Both were so delicious! We also really enjoyed the avocado falafel with a tangy sauce --a nice combination with the falafel

    pancakes and breakfast burrito
    Leah O.

    Such a great neighborhood spot! there's seating inside and outside but i'd say it's most comfortable for 2-4 people in your group. They've only recently opened but are doing well and sell out of food during the weekend so try to get there before 1pm!! We ordered the pancakes and breakfast burrito - both were so so good! I'd want to go back and try more but also I'd be tempted just to reorder the same meal.

    Breakfast Burrito (~$18)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Latte w Lavender (~$7) Pancakes (~$15) with Blueberry Compote (+$2): with lemon, ricotta, and maple syrup Breakfast Burrito (~$18): Guajillo-Braised Beef, Scrambled Eggs, Oaxaca-Mozzarella Blend, Fries, Side of Cilantro-Lime Crema Aya's take: I've been meaning to try Mile Square Cafe since they first opened and particularly when I saw they had a breakfast burrito on the menu! a good one (without pork) is hard to come by in NY/NJ. Upon entering the cafe, you can tell it has a thoughtfully decorated interior and the menu is deliberately designed to highlight the owners, the culture, and some great dishes people would want. The girl who took our order was also super friendly & patient! I started with an Iced Latte w Lavender. By the color alone, I knew it was made well. First sip, confirmed. The espresso, milk, and lavender were deliciously mixed and paired so well together. The Pancakes with Blueberry Compote were golden brown and not thick, topped with luscious ricotta that I needed more of, tangy-sweet blueberry compote, and some maple syrup for that added sweetness. The amount of blueberry compote and ricotta was lacking compared to other photos I've seen but otherwise, they were well-made pancakes. The Breakfast Burrito was hearty and savory. The eggs & braised beef were well-seasoned and plentiful, the fries could have been crispier or replaced with tater tots (it would be so much better, imo!), and the crispy cheese exterior was ultimate big back behavior. The cilantro-lime crema is literally drinkable and I loved how it cut through the fat and denseness of the burrito. All in all, I'm confident MSC will do well in Hoboken and I would definitely go back.

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Elizabeth G.

    Mile square exceeded our expectations (and this was after someone had told me they had the best breakfast burrito they've ever had). I would wait in any line for their food. To start, we got an almond milk latte. It was good but a little too much milk and not enough espresso for our liking. The breakfast burrito had the greatest crusty cheese layer on the outside to give it a little crisp, and fluffy scrambled eggs on the inside, along with some tasty potatoes. They don't go light on the goods either. There was so much delicious meat in the burrito and it was perfectly wrapped so you get a bit of everything in every bite. The fried chicken sandwich was my personal heaven. The chicken is so crispy but doesn't feel greasy or heavy. They have simply perfected the perfect crisp to juicy chicken ratio. The sauce had a spicy twang that paired nicely with the sweet slaw and soft brioche bun. The sandwich is simple yet bursting with flavor. We had all this incredible and fresh food while sitting by the window enjoying the beautiful Hoboken Sunday. 10/10!

    Avocado toast
    Lola L.

    From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding, attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. The staff and management clearly take pride in creating a great atmosphere, and it shows. We ordered the burrito, avocado toast, and pancakes, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The burrito was flavorful and hearty, the avocado toast was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the pancakes were fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. Highly recommend this spot for anyone in Hoboken looking for amazing food and even better hospitality. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Cinnamon focaccia
    Lisa M.

    I'm sorry Stephen but I would not come back here. The menu is very limited, anything with a semblance of protein is going to cost you $15+. I thought maybe there would be something easy to grab like a sandwich or panini with some deli meat or chicken salad? Nope! Not in this cafe! Instead, I figured I'd pickup a sweet treat and sit outside. I got this Cinnabon focaccia. It looked good. It was extremely hard to eat (tough on the outside, tough on the inside). It tasted stale. Wtf? At like $10 for one slice (literally $9.83) it should be the last delicious and chewy and sweet cinnamon pastry of my life. The verdict is Mile Square Cafe is overhyped on Instagram and overpriced for the taste & quality.

    Cute cafe in Hoboken. The breakfast platter was delicious. The ingredients all tasted fresh. They lost a star because the cappuccino machine wasn't working. I couldn't see why if the shop is fairly new. The zeppoli's were a little too zesty for me.

    Pancakes for Sunday breakfast!
    H H.

    Solid addition to the neighborhood! We came first thing on a Sunday morning with our daughter, sat inside (they have seating for about 26 at tables and another 4 at the bar by the window up front) since it was a bit hot. There are a few tables out front as well. You order at the front counter-you can take out or have them bring it to your table. Nice blend of fast casual. You can sit down and have breakfast without it being a production. We ordered the Cin-Caccia (their take on an Italian version of a cinnamon bun, and I gotta say-it's the best version of ANYTHING traditional or non traditional like it we've eaten in town yet, and a first for this spin on a classic). We ate it so fast while we were waiting I didn't get a pic! The pancakes we ordered without the compote-3 of them came plated with a generous dollop of ricotta (I could've done without it, but that's me). We also got the white toast, which was a light and filling toast a bit different than a few others we've had. Place filled up quickly (families with small children at opening) but it wasn't overwhelming. They had a steady flow of pick up/take out. The decor inside is simple, modern and welcoming. All in all-friendly staff, really good food, and we look forward to having another upscale casual spot uptown to grab breakfast!

    Pancakes, Burrito and lattes.

    I stopped by Annie & Em's Bakeshop in search of their cinnamon donuts of which I had seen pictures…read more Unfortunately, they were out of those and there is no guarantee they will be available unless one orders them in advance for pickup. The ladies working here were so kind and gracious about it, explaining how to order the cinnamon donuts in advance and they freeze well if you order a large quantity, so I purchased an apple cinnamon caramel scone instead. I ate it the next day and it was very good. I appreciated that it was a scone and not too sweet. There are chunks of apple in there with a definitive cinnamon presence. The caramel is drizzled over the top. It would go well with coffee or tea, particularly chai. There are other offerings here and if you see the cinnamon donuts, do not pass them up. 3.5 stars, but I am certain that could be revised upwards if I sample more of their baked goods.

I'm not gluten free but love any and all sweets. And I have so many GF people in my life. We were all patiently awaiting their grand opening and let me tell you: it was worth the wait. I stopped in shortly before they closed to pick up a box of cookies to bring to said gluten free friends. I got a mix of the sugar cookies, chocolate chip and sea salt caramels. All are incredible and none give the slightest hint that they are made to be GF. Crazy moist (Oy, sorry if you hate that word, but they were MOIST), soft and flavorful. The sugar cookie stole the show for me but I don't think you'll find a cookie you don't like. They had so many lots of vegan options as well if that's something you're on the hunt for. I can't wait to stop in again and try more of their cakes and sweet treats. Happy to have you in Mile Square!

I got the original cinnamon roll and the April special, which was carrot cake. Also got a strawberry shortcake matcha. The rolls are big! Worth the price and wait in my opinion. I preferred the original over the carrot cake. The carrot cake roll had some big pieces of carrot lol a bit unexpected because I assumed the carrots would be a bit more finely grated. but not bad! the carrot taste is just a lot more prominent. strawberry shortcake matcha was good, but I think the cinnamon rolls are the real star here. There's a good amount of seating. Staff is very kind. Def want to come back to try the other special cinnamon roll flavors in the coming months!

We also got just plain oatmilk latte and brewed coffee as well as some cookies (smores, confetti) and all were pretty good! not to mention the latte arts were perfect and service was friendly! Loved that they have a separate space for little kids to play (which you pay $7 for). Im sure the parents appreciate this - having a place for coffee while also letting smaller kids enjoy. They have babycinno too! Parking can be hard as its street parking only but there are some garages available if you dont mind walking a bit. Would love to return someday for a sit-down experience.

I've never eaten anything that I didn't like. My faves are: milhojas, breakfast croissant sandwich, and any and every cake with dulce de leche filling.

Absolutely zero gatekeeping here. Please everyone keep patronizing this establishment. I need this place to continue to exist in my hood.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!

Place is a hole in the wall to the point that I walked right past it. Lone server inside was very friendly. Definitely a 'get your shit and go' kind of place, but what do you expect with Hoboken real estate. Got a red eye over ice, which was slightly burnt but still good. For food I tried the La Rustica sandwich, which has proscuitto, stracchino cheese and truffle cream on homemade bread. The bread was great and I could've had just that. Decent amount of proscuitto however the price ($16) justified that. Cheese didn't do much for the sandwich, as it was outmuscled by the proscuitto and just added a touch of cream. Truffle was similarly lost. All in all could do better, could do worse. Donut bites, on the other hand, were freaking money. Got 3 of the ones with custard and should've gotten a dozen. That made the place itself. Lots of other interesting things here worth trying. Wish I could a sandwich with mozzarella as there were plenty of others that looked good too. Definitely would give this another shot, as there's some good stuff here!
