I love this place! I discovered it with my partner, and it's been our go-to ever since, especially because other coffee shops in the area don't even offer 24 oz. Like... what are we, kids?! Bring the big sizes to all coffee shops!!! My go-to is the strawberry crème latte with almond milk. It tastes like strawberry Nesquik + espresso. Yum! The baristas (the boys) are so kind, down-to-earth, and somehow remember our order, which I imagine is hard to do with so many customers. Honestly, I hate leaving reviews sometimes because I don't want my favorite spots to become too popular but I've been coming here since last year and had to show some love. The breakfast options are also amazing. Overall, just a really cool coffee shop where you can actually sit, eat, and enjoy yourself :) read more

Recently came to O Kafe after a quick google search for nearby cafes. The customer service here was great. However, I do wish they had more available outlets. I also ordered an acai bowl which was a bit on the watery side. When I asked for honey they said they didn't have any, which is surprising for a cafe. read more

Don't bother ordering food here unless you're craving pastries. Their avocado toast is a joke. It's bread with an overcooked egg that barely has half an avocado. There's no flavor at all. They could have at least given me a whole avocado. You can easily make this yourself with no effort. Coffee and drinks are good and staff is always nice. read more

O Kafe is located right behind my baby's pediatrician's office which makes it an easy spot for me to grab my coffee and lunch after every visit. I just love their Chicken Bahmi Sandwich which comes with a side of house salad or chips which the customer can choose. My favorite beverage at this cafe is Dirty Brown Sugar Latte.It tastes amazing with Oatmilk. This is a must try drink. read more

If you're in the area, O'Kafe is a must have! The staff is extremely friendly I frequently stop by for their Lavender Latte and a Classic Egg sandwich (bacon, cheese, egg, harissa sauce). The harissa sauce gives it a nice kick that you don't typically get on a bacon egg and cheese! Their drinks are great and unique, definitely recommend stopping by and exploring the menu. There is ample seating - A table for 2, Bar style seating for about 4/5, low table seating for 3, and a large shared table for 6. When the weather is nice, there are usually ~3 tables for 2 outside! Lovely view of Hamilton Park and always nice to take your drink and sandwich to the park on a summer day. read more

Walked in and there was silence, no music. Not sure if that's the norm haha since it was my first time being there but it felt a little awkward. Other than that, the atmosphere is really cozy and pretty. Ample seating and space. No bathrooms, I feel like that's important to point out if you're thinking about going to sit there for a while and do work lol. Got the iced chai, half oat/half whole. It's usually my go-to order when I visit new cafe places, sort of a safe option for me lol. Gonna have to give it a 6/10. As strange as this is gonna sound, the taste resembles a dunkin glazed donut? Not something I wanna taste when I drink a chai. Maybe it was the oat milk? Spice level a 3/10 too. Paid $7.95 for my concoction. Don't get me wrong I'm finishing the drink as I speak but I will not be going back for the chai. Instead, their strawberry cream latte caught my eye. Will come back to try that. Maybe arnold palmer too. Hopefully those will be more enjoyable. Service wasn't bad. There were only 2 employees working on a Sunday afternoon, but they were both kind and I could tell the one on bar was working hard lol. They had a couple pastries and a little drink fridge but I didn't get pictures of those. The little lego display was adorable though. read more

I was traveling for work and stopped here. I enjoyed my first coffee so much, I returned the next day! Service was quick! Amazing atmosphere! read more

They make a really great tasting latte and it comes out nice and hot. I just find it chaotic in there so only order to go

I got the chipotle black bean sandwich and iced dirty brown sugar latte and wow both things were so tasty!! The latte tasted good, strong, and not too sweet. The size was also good - they don't skimp you on the coffee here. The chipotle black bean was delicious! The chipotle flavor was definitely there. It was recommended by the cashier and am so glad I tried it! Service was quick and staff were friendly. Pretty cheap too! Will definitely be back :) read more

Best thing about this place: the friendly staff! Second best thing: the variety in their menu. Love to come here but also try to avoid sometimes because it can be pretty busy and the wait times can be somewhat long (esp if you order food). read more

Awesome coffee shop located in downtown jersey city. This place had so many options whether it was pastries or variations of coffee. Perfect location right by Hamilton park, I grabbed a cup and took a walk. Service was great, the line moved quick. Thanks O Kafe! read more

As I was venturing on a Saturday morning, desperately looking for a coffee shop, I saw a parent with a cup of coffee coming from directional, and I walk towards that way and lo and behold. I found this in the gym. The coffee menu is very large and I was a little overwhelmed with all the options, I got my redeye and a very delicious onion sandwich. The staff were friendly, and patient with my questions. Don't forget to get your loyalty card. read more

I love this place! Usually heading here on my way to the turnpike. Their lavender latte with almond milk is my fav. The baristas are very kind. They even gave me a complementary drink when I disliked my order. I'm a personal fan of the avocado toast and the beet salad. The menu is quite large and it's such a cute hipster vibe. 10/10 I come here quite often! read more

O Kafe - Lavender Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I've been coming here 1-5 times a month, since last year. Their customer service is great, I could tell they really put effort into customer service. I'm not a huge coffee fan & usually like my drinks on the sweeter side. * honey ginger tea really good - this got me hooked for about 2 weeks where I would go everyday, sometimes even twice a day * honey citron tea - meh, Not a fan of citron * korean sugar latte - very sweet with the latte, they give so much candy I have left overs after my latte. read more

O Kafe - a variety of cold brews on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

my only gripe with this place is the absolute mess that is their menu and website - everything else is lovely, but it is such a pain to figure out what's on the menu, how to order online, etc. why is it all random pictures under google reviews? ANYWAY. with my complaint in the convenience/design realm aside, this place is pretty decent. definitely a regular cafe for a lot of WFH people - lot of laptops. their sourdough avocado toast with fried egg is quite good, and the matcha is decent. staff is super nice. would come back to try other things - if i can find out what exactly they are lol. read more

Decided to stop by and visit this place and I'm SO happy I did. I think it's a new favorite! The location is really nice & the interior of the store is beautiful & open. I ordered an iced matcha & a chicken banh mi sandwich. They have pictures of the food & drinks available for you to look at as well. The staff member was super kind also! The drink itself was really good, the matcha tasted nice. Not too bitter and not sweet at all (but you can add syrup/sugar from their side table if you'd like) and the Chicken Banh Mi sandwich tasted SOOO GOOD. Every single element was spot on and delicious; the bread, pickled veggies, the chicken, and the spicy mayo complimented everything so well. Overall very very pleased and I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu! Love it & definitely recommend. read more

Cute cafe with fun bites and an extensive drink menu. Coffee, tea, juice, smoothies, you name it. There is something for everyone. Even unique drink choices. It's a standard cafe with counter service and some seating both inside and outside This place closes around 5pm so make sure you get your coffee fix before then. But as far as cafes go hours are good. One of the best cafes in the Hamilton park area. read more

I love the large windows, allowing ample of natural light to flood into the room. My small cappuccino was strong and pretty good, though the latte art left something to be desired (see picture... it's just frothy milk). The chocolate doughnut was dry and crumbly - not really to my taste as far as doughnut textures go. I had to throw it out. Overall, it's an okay coffee shop. I would come back for the coffee products and avoid the doughnuts. read more

Knew it would be an issue before trying my coffee as the cup was extremely light. I removed the lid and seen that the coffee was only halfway. Literally halfway and i ordered a large. I really hate burnt coffee. Last time I gave five stars because it was great, my visit today gives me the impression that this is a hit or miss spot. RIP to my coffee. read more

Great breakfast options - we walked by every morning but never seemed to stop in. We finally did, and now it will be a staple! The iced brown sugar latte was excellent, and not too sweet. We also tried the dragonfruit bowl & açaí bowl, which were fresh and well balanced. The classic breakfast sandwich had thick cut bacon and a hint of spice that was absolutely delicious. read more

Stopped in for a quick caffeine fix after we finished viewing apartments in the area. I had a delightful iced tea while other members of my party had coffee. Those who ordered coffee had good things to say. My cousin ordered a matcha latte was pretty disappointed - you can still see matcha chunks floating in the drink. Staff were super nice and very friendly. Drinks came out quickly and the store is big enough to socially distance while waiting to order / pick up your drinks. read more

Had placed an order ahead to go. Tried their new milk tea with Korean candy, delicious! The barista's were nice and friendly. Inside of the store is clean and super cute. Only one other customer. I double parked outside of the café as a lot was apparently going on that day but can imagine parking would normally be difficult. I also ended up trying their hotdogs in a bun. They were also very tasty and had cheese in them which was a pleasant surprise. My boyfriend also ate it up! It is a bit expensive but typical for the area. I ended up posting a photo of my drink on Instagram and tagging the café in the photo. They reached out to me to see how my drink I had any recommendations which was really awesome of the place! I had no recommendations lol would definitely recommend this place ! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to warm up from the brutal wind and cold of the day and enjoyed a chai latte and hot chocolate. Both were delicious and truly hit the spot. Prices are a tad high in my opinion, but not enough to prevent me from coming. Note there is no bathroom, so stop somewhere else if you need that too. read more

Love the flavored lattes here--thin mint is delicious! Looking forward to trying the lavender next. The hot breakfast sandwiches are also pretty good (love that they use Balthazar croissants), and the service is friendly and fast. Great neighborhood spot! My only gripe is with the price: over $6 for a large iced latte is more than a little insane. If the prices were reasonable, I would stop by more often. Even a punchcard/loyalty program would make me feel a little less guilty about spending so much here. Until then, this place will be reserved for days I want to treat myself! read more

The Matcha Latte is amazing! I had a blueberry muffin which was good too. If you go in the morning you will find the location to be great to do work! They have a good variety of gluten-free and vegan choices of desserts. It might be difficult to find parking after 3pm. read more

Cute place to grab a beverage or snack. They stop making some of the items on their menu in the late afternoon/evening, but have plenty of grab n go style items. I enjoyed my green tea lemonade and chocolate croissant. The cafe is located in a quaint area in JC and totally goes with the vibe in this neighborhood. Cafe had plenty of light, seating, and good ambiance for working, relaxing, or reading. Definitely wouldn't mind heading back here if I were in the area. read more

O Kafe - Green tea lemonade made by Sharlene. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I've come here several times (back when this spot was known as Smith & Chang). I've had a couple things from their menu that have either been a hit or miss (mostly misses). Hit: the aaron burr, iced hazelnut latte Miss: o kafe sampler, açaí bowl, mango dragon fruit bowl, avocado egg toast The consistency of the bowls were *always* off the mark as they would come out soupy for some reason...definitely was not expecting to drink my açaí bowls. Portion size, especially for the sampler, was abysmal. They advertise it for 2 people but really, it's suitable for 1. Also pretty pricey for the amount of food you get. I've given this cafe several second chances but I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon. read more

My favorite cafe to come to! They make delicious oat lattes and everyone who works here is so nice! They truly value keeping loyal customers happy. To the point that sometimes even if I don't want coffee I'll come in and grab a latte because I love seeing everyone who works here. Andrew is the best manager they could have chosen, always a sweetheart. And everyone else here is really a blessing compared to your usual coffee sho 'tude, you won't find any bad attitude here. Love you O'Kafe!!!! read more

Added tip could not remove- this should be an option, it's not a given. Vegetarian sandwich has an egg in it. After the egg was removed , the sandwich was good. Better instructions and more care when checking out needed. Overall decent neighborhood place for a bite. read more

This is a very cute cafe. They have very nice seats outside. I went there for brunch and try an acai bowl. Wow, it is so refreshing, fresh strawberry, blueberry, granola and banana. I love it!

Great coffee and food options, and a very friendly staff! I also like that they offer a rewards card.

Coffee is delicious and this is a great place to sit and enjoy with friends. They have giant long tables so you can bring a bigger group to sit with. Drinks were made quickly and the barista quickly corrected a drink that was made incorrectly.. and was very polite about it. They serve gluten free muffins and pastries which I hope to try next time. They also have a large menu of food to order although we did not try any this time. read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and this was the nearest coffee shop to me. I'm so happy it's so close. The baristas are so nice and accommodating and the coffee is delicious. I tried a red eye and the Korean candy latte, which is right below. I'm also loving their GF pastries. Their Apple cinnamon donut didn't even taste Gf at all, it was perfectly soft and didnt have that dry, flakey texture other GF desserts tend to have. read more

I have been frequenting this cafe for over a year (it went through a name change and is now under new management) one of the male baristas there was so rude to me today that I was finally compelled to write this review. I had ordered an oat milk latte. After waiting 15 minutes and seeing that there was an almond milk latte on the counter I asked him if that could be mine. He said no. I asked him to check with the cashier, (btw the rest of the staff there is very nice). he refused to check with her, it would have taken literally one second to ask her if perhaps the order had been wrong. he then continued to be extremely rude to me refusing to even let me know when my order might be ready. long story short, the cashier then came over and said that she had misheard me and actually that almond milk latte was supposed to be my oat milk latte, again something that could have been prevented by him just simply asking her, she was an arm's length away. Here's the kicker, it was a terrible latte. Maybe he should stop being a barista? Will not be returning here. read more

This place is a staple to come to for me and my husband. We love a great coffee spot locally and this place hit it home for us. We visit them multiple times a week and always grab their avocado toast or vegan veggie delight sandwich. If your a mushroom fan then their mushroom toast is also a winner!! I love their menu with their coffee selections. Their pastries are phenomenal Too many to choose from you wanna try them all. My personal favorites is their creme brûlée hot latte with Oatmilk or their Dirty brown sugar iced latte with Oatmilk. Give them a shot!!! They deserve more then 5 stars for sure read more
