I am a huge fan of One Two Cup Cafe at 201 Warren Street in the Paulus Hook neighborhood of Jersey City. This quaint cozy little eatery offers breakfast, lunch items and assorted muffins, salads and cold beverages. Owner Maggie is personable and the staff of Maddie and chef Romero is top-notch. Today I had an incredible sandwich of sardines, hard boiled eggs and lettuce With a tasty sauce. I highly recommend this cafe to all comers. read more

Hands down best coffee in the neighborhood! They have freshly squeezed orange juice too!

I used to order from here all the time, as they had an excellent Lox bagel. Not sure what happened but in past 12 months the food and service are lacking for a lack of a better word. This is going to be en episode of What I Ordered vs. What I Got. I ordered a "one liter of peach nectar" for $8 but what I got was 1 can of 250 ml instead. One liter is 1000 ml, so by doing a very easy quick math would I say that I received quarter a of juice promised. This is not the 1st time by the way. I thought they made a mistake last time I ordered the juice. False advertisement in its finest! Also please take a look at Greek Salad as advertised vs what I got. A quarter of tomato A sixth of bell pepper A smidge of onion 5 olive A dash of feta And the whole bowl of lettuce Please don't waste your money. read more

Pastirma brought me here but there was no evidence of this component of the Yummy Sandwich. The pickles and sauce provided good texture and I liked the bread. Delivery was quick. I had better luck a few months ago with the Sunflower Sandwich. (Updating after owner's response: I ordered this theoretically existing sandwich on Uber Eats. When I ordered it, pastirma was listed. Since then it's been updated. Menu lists a Yummy Sandwich but doesn't mention pastirma). read more

Too expensive , and they charge more than their menu and sign says. Two eggs on a wrap with cheese almost $9. No thank you.

Bagels are good!!! Coffee is Strong! My kid likes to visit this place after a ride to get bagel sandwich!!! read more

Ordered delivery from here today for my boyfriend and I. I ordered a latte with almond milk, a macchiato with almond milk, tuna sandwich, and smoked salmon everything bagel. The latte and macchiato both spilled in transit. Thankfully in a carry tray separate from the food. They also tasted the exact same and not a strong flavor. Seems watered down. We wouldn't get them again. $3.92 for the macchiato and $4.60 for the latte. They arrived hot. The tuna sandwich was okay. Fresh veggies. My boyfriend wasn't a fan because there is no mayo in the tuna salad. I also saw a photo of it with a spinach wrap on seamless and we got it in a white wrap. Idk. A bit pricey at $9.10. It's not that big. Wouldn't get it again. Not sure if it was supposed to be warm but it wasn't. The smoked salmon everything bagel was also okay. Cream cheese was cold, capers throughout, tomato sliced thin which was nice, red onion, and smoked salmon was a decent amount. The everything bagel was thin though and underwhelming. Would have been nice if the bagel was toasted and warm with the cold salmon and cream cheese. Also high at $9.42. We may try something else from the menu another time. We'll see! read more

This was a tiny local cafe near my brother's apartment where we stopped by to grab some breakfast. We ordered some breakfast bagels and a coffee, and also took away some baklava. The location is fairly small, so rather than waiting we just took a walk around the block - our food was ready right when we came back. The bagels definitely hit the spot and were fresh, hot and delicious. The coffee was hot and fresh, but tasted okay. Not bad for a quick cup of coffee! We'll be back again. read more

Charming and efficient local café with friendly service. First time visit today - after a Yelp search - because we were missing the BEC sandwiches in our former neighborhood. Really glad to find One Two Cup Café. The bacon (turkey), egg, and cheese on a croissant was excellent. The iced coffee was also good. I called in the order and it was ready in 10 minutes and well packaged for takeout. The only reason there is no photo with this review is that we were so hungry that we ate before snapping a picture! We will definitely go back for more breakfasts and likely try out the rotisserie chicken (to go) in the future. read more

Not a lunch place, closes 2ish rather than 3pm that it mentions, post 2 its only the stuff on shelf which is a shame as the whole purpose of grabbing a sandwich or a simple toasted bagel is defeated! read more

Discovered this small cafe several months ago and have been a fan. I usually get an egg and cheese on a bagel (with scallion cream cheese, salt, pepper & ketchup). It hits the spot every single time. I've tried their coffee and pastries, wasn't too big a fan on that. However, it is on my favorite list for a quick breakfast. They get really busy on weekends, and wait time is much longer so I recommend calling your order in beforehand. read more

Great place to grab breakfast, lunch, coffee, or your next rotisserie chicken for dinner. The food I've tried here has consistently been delicious. If you like a mediterranean food, then I think you'll like the food here. read more

Got the tasty sandwich at lunch. Very small size considering I paid $10.45. It tasted really good though. Bread was thin and the chicken, eggplant inside were delicious. However if you buy this, I prefer to buy two of them or buy some sides. read more

Small place at a very reasonable priced. A neighborhood favorite among many similar others.

- Excellent breakfast sandwiches - Awesome sandwiches for lunch - Friendly staff Thinking Cup Cafe is the top no-frills reasonably priced breakfast place in Paulus Hook. There are great options for healthy eaters, like egg whites and turkey bacon. I would skip the more expensive breakfast place down the road - you'll be happier at Thinking Cup Cafe and you're wallet will thank you! read more

Would not recommend this place. Ordered iced americanos, bagel with bacon egg cheese and bagel with scallion cream cheese. Iced americanos were definitely just iced coffees (without ice) and tasted burnt. He got our bagel order wrong and used plain cream cheese and barely any at that. BEC was soggy as well. Not sure if this is because they're under staffed (only one person was working) but even so they shouldn't sacrifice quality. Was our first time there and definitely will not be going back. Plenty of better places in the neighborhood or just make it yourself at home... even grocery store bagels would probably taste better. read more

Thinking Cup is a great Paulus Hook addition. On any morning the bagels will be tasty (not made in-house) with a wide variety of options. The two-man operation can be a bit slow but the food is always great. I've had both breakfast and the roasted chicken on several occasions and always enjoyed the meal. Service is friendly but on the weekend can be a bit slow with the crowd. read more

The ordering of the coffee was unpleasant and not very inviting. The taste was unacceptable and I literally tossed the whole thing out. Can't recommend at all, at least for drinks. I did not try the food. 6 a.m. around the corner offers better coffee for sure read more

Yes yes yes yes yes: - Cute cafe that makes you feel trendy when you're in it - Great coffee - Veggie scone is my jam - Owner is sweet - Everyone is kind and attentive the moment you walk in the door - Cute tables for a quick brunch This is the kind of neighborhood place that makes you feel good going to. It's not fancy, and food is great quality, the people are kind and the service is on point. And honestly, the people who have comments below that suggest anything less than 4 stars should go back to Brooklyn. read more

I preface this review with this: my boyfriend and I have gone for coffee dates every weekend since last autumn, trying out a new place in JC every time. We tried to keep the same order each time - one cold brew (or iced coffee, if unavailable), one chai latte, and a savory little something to snack on. Thinking Cup Cafe, for me, was just average - the iced coffee my boyfriend got was OK, the bagel was... actually surprisingly very good, but my Chai Latte was the worst I've had to date. I'm not saying I need my chai to be sweet (quite the contrary), but this one just lacked sweetness altogether. It's like they forgot a key ingredient. One other note (unrelated to taste) - there's a $7 minimum to use credit cards. Which isn't really a problem if you come as a pair (as we tend to), but may be worthwhile to mention to those that swing by solo on the weekend. You'll have to commit to coffee and a sandwich - a pastry or bagel won't get you to the minimum. read more

I was excited to try this place, but unfortunately I was let down. Walking into I could only smell Lysol, the bagel was a good price, but mediocre at best. The worst part was the iced coffee was weak and also tasted like cleaning product... don't waste your time. read more

"Two Aprons" is back and how :) With a prettier decor and more seating, this place probably has everything the previous version didn't while still retaining the old charm. The breakfast and lunch menus still have a number of vegetarian options [My favorite being the cream cheese bagel with scallions and black olives] along with the mozzarella sandwich. Other pleasant additions to the menu include cheesecakes, baklavas and more. One of the many things I love about this place is the ability to give them a call and place an order and then pick it up while getting to work which potentially saves everyone the time The folks who run this place are still as nice as ever. Oh and yes, this place is now open even on Sundays :) read more

Nice thin bagels, cream cheese had fresh veggies. Would love to try an egg bagel next time. Very good

Wow, great small shop with delicious coffee, snacks, (rotisserie chicken), and most important friendly stuff. Check them out. read more

This is a lovely little cafe in the Jersey City waterfront area - I went to the cafe while visiting a friend who lives in the area. There is limited seating inside, but the decor is very nice and inviting. I had the Tasty Sandwich (chicken, makdous, lettuce, tomato) which came with a small salad, and a portion of the firni, an Afghan dessert which was creamy and not too sweet. Everything was fresh and quickly prepared. The customer service was cheery and helpful - they steered me in the right direction as I took some time to make my choice. Definitely visiting this place again when I'm in the area. read more

A cafe that serves Rotisserie chicken and almond milk lattes...oh my good Lord. The service is always friendly and such cute decor. Glad this place is nearby read more

Love this spot! In my opinion, the best coffee in Paulus Hook, plus their selection of high quality pastries (muffins, croissants, almond triangles (my favourite!)) is worth a pop in. I have also had their bagels, breakfast wraps, and lunchtime sandwiches. An emphatic thumbs up for all of these! The freshly squeezed OJ and baklava are also good. The One Two Cup Cafe team are friendly and polite, and in my experience always keen to get your order exactly as you like it. Only thing I am yet to try is the roast chicken, and that's only because I never remember which evenings they offer it :) Anyway, highly recommend this place - I'm sure you will love it!! read more

The cafe is small but cozy, there's seating right outside the door for those who come with their dogs and rather not keep them outside alone. The coffee is fresh and so was the lightly toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese and freshly cut scallions. The prices are just right! For the area I'm surprised in that factor! Readers: Definitely come In for a cup of Joe in the Am and support your local business!! I'm not in the area often, but if I pass by again I'll make a stop!! Enjoy read more

Great tucked away spot. My favorite morning routine for coffee. Great breakfast wraps.

Bad Iced Americano (like other review said, def. old ice coffee) and even worse service. Barista was rude and clearly in a rush to close early. I guess if you come here you're on the barista's schedule. read more

One Two Cup Cafe - Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. So good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Came to this place a few times before. The service was never great but the bagels are pretty good. Today I called and ordered pick up: sesame bagel with lox,egg and avocado. I came in paid 16$ which I think is insane for a bagel, the guy told me they charge $6 for eggs. In what world you charge 6$ to add eggs on a takeout sandwich I don't know. Anyway I paid and took the bagel. I came home and found out that it was all wrong they put onion, cheese tomato that I didn't ask for and no avocado that I actually asked for and the guy on the phone read the order back to me when I called. I had to go all the way back. Gave them the wrong bagel, waited for the new one. No apology, refund or anything complimentary was offered. Have you heard of customer service? You made it wrong, you caused the customer inconvenience, seriously overcharged and didn't offer anything. I think it is unacceptable. Last but not least the avocado on my second sandwich tasted sweet. But I didn't want to deal with that anymore. Mistakes have to be fixed and customer has to be accommodated. Working in a food business you must know that!!!! read more

Very slow. Decent food. Actually waiting for my order now and i have had time to read all their reviews and write my own. They offer many things but im still trying to find a good reason to go back. Maybe the convenience since i live nearby. read more

Love this cute cafe! Have come here a few times on walks with my baby and they are so friendly and nice. Only thing they need is a ramp for stroller because I usually have to rely on nice stranger to help me up the steep step, or try and lift her on my own and wind up spilling my coffee! I haven't had any of their food yet, just coffee, tea and juices - all delicious and reasonably priced! read more
