Great neighorhood cafe! We love the breakfast buns here, and come here when we want to indulge. The milk buns are so soft, and the scrambled eggs are silky and to-die-for. They have a solid number of pastry options, and the cold brew is strong. If we had one request, it would be to swap out the ketchup in the bacon bun for hot sauce since the milk bun already provides enough sweetness. The service is friendly though there is a bit of a wait. It's a casual spot, and there's usually enough seating these days.
While the hours are pretty limited, it's worth making an effort to visit. I arrived around 9 am on a Sunday, and miraculously there was no line. I ordered a BEC and a seasonal donut and have no regrets. The bread was soft, the eggs were fluffy, and the bacon was thick. The caramelized onions were a great counterpoint to the sharp cheddar and tangy ketchup. The donut was soft and fluffy and had a rich yet light pumpkin cream filling. One thing to note is that the crème donut is only available on Sunday! Otherwise I would've gone for the apple cider cruller. All in all a great spot for breakfast and I look forward to my next visit!
Tiny little spot with lines out the door. I don't know how they do it but whatever they're doing, they're doing it right, every single time. Perfect brioche buns, fluffy eggs and the crunchiest bacon. Highly suggest take out bc it's so hard to grab a seat but if I can, I'll sit down and eat just to experience it freshly made. It's worth the hype! So worth the hype.
Scram was a cozy place that I found exploring while visiting new york. I came near the tail end of their opening hours so lines weren't too bad. The store is bigger than your average coffee store and about the same size as your average bakery. They have an assortment of fresh buns made to order of which I had to get. There's also a small coffee menu and a larger tea menu. Cold brew- Pretty standard cold brew. Solid and gets the job done, but wasn't the smoothest Ham milk bun- The bun part was very good, and the jam was also delicious. The egg was my favorite, being runny and soft and warm and fresh. My only gripe was that the ham was a bit cold and on the drier side. Overall really solid! As I left the baristas managed to remember my name which I really appreciated :)
Nice local bakery! Got there before closing. I got the strawberry white chocolate chip scone and the egg tart. I think they ran out of cinnamon buns at that point. Both pastries were good. The scone was moist and not dry!
Scram is a local favorite and it's quite easy to see why. Because of their extremely limited hours, the lines usually go out the door on any day, even weekdays. Their menu is straight to the point. They specialize in egg sandwiches and they're very good at it. My favorite here is the sausage bun. The bread bun is soft and absorbs the fat from the quality ingredients. The jalapeños complement the fat from the sausage and cuts it. The coffee is pretty standard and I like that you can also grab a pastry from their huge selection as well. Definitely recommend and worth it to stand in line for sure.
Was not expecting anything grand yet it exceeds the thing that I was looking for somehow. Simple tasty sandwiches, fluffy egg, fast service on a Sunday Brunch. Little but cozy and beautiful shop worth a visit. I think I found another bfast bruch cafe to include in my rotations.
First off the sandwich was tasty. I got the sausage bun and it was nice. We also tried the egg tart, it was ok. The coffee was fine. The cons: -Prices are high -Seating is a challenge...some of the tables don't even have chairs. -The wait is excessive. There's usually a long line, and then the wait to get food after placing the order is long (especially since it's such a limited menu).
Best breakfast sandwich place in jersey! When you walk in the place smells soooo good! Like butter... Can get really busy --------- All the sandwiches are good! Fluffy egg but ham has egg with yolk that spills out. I think the other sandwiches are all's scrambled eggs and it's so soft and fluffy Ham: the best! So good cus the pineapple jam and thinly sliced ham. I like this the best cus I think it's harder to find a sandwich like this Bacon: can't go wrong. Second fav! Sausage: solid. I don't think the jalapeños make it spicy. I needed hot sauce and maybe even some ketchup Fontina: good. Liked the shallots and all. Pimento: tasted like it was on a biscuit. It's good ------- Granola and yogurt panna cotta was soooo good! But I didn't know how pricy it was. My bf got it and I really enjoyed it but idk if I'd pay that much for it again Honey cake also really good Cookies were all good but my fav was the citrus cus it had like a yuzu taste and so subtle.. my sis liked the vanilla malt. Scone - tried the cranberry pistachio or something and we both thought it was okay and wouldn't get it again Lemon cheesecake bread or something- would not get against so underwhelming and did not like the black pepper. Kiwi pie crust or something- like a kiwi pop tart... good but wouldn't get again. Would like more of the kiwi inside ------ Iced chai latte with oatmilk- omg sooooo good! Def getting it again when I go back ------- Service is good :) everyone is so kind and patient even in all the busyness ----- Parking: street
The line was out the door when we arrived but we wanted to try it, so we waited. There is stroller parking outside, and none are allowed inside. Once we made it in, we could see why. The space is right, with about 10 or so tables up against either wall, but most on the left. It was very lively, but floors had a bunch of spilled drinks and food. When we got to the front to order, most of their baked goods were sold out except for three items. Ended up buying the last two chocolate chip cookies, three breakfast sandwiches, and a tea. There is a water station as well, if you'd prefer that. The sandwiches took about 15mins to come out, which wasn't bad considering the place was packed on the Saturday morning. The sausage breakfast sandwich was my favorite, super fluffy eggs. The right balance of spicy and savory. I do wish there was more sauce, and felt the same about the fontina but nonetheless still a solid spot.
I was sooo excited to finally get to scram and wow it did not disappoint. Definitely one of the best cookies i've ever had which I was not expecting! The flavor was incredible, but for some reason the pimento puff breakfast did not sit well with me for the rest of the day.
the place is small but the vibes are still great. Their passionfruit donut was so incredibly good. I probs wont get the egg sandwich again. Their cinnamon roll was good too. More like a cinnamon muffin though. The service was efficient at taking orders. Took a while to get my food though.
Buns! So I recently learned that the City stopped Scram from making these egg sandwiches because the cooking equipment did not meet the fire code or something like that. Anyhow, I was looking for a nice spot to grab some breakfast on a Friday morning and found this as an option. Surprisingly enough, there were buns! And I got myself a Fontina. That was SUPER SUPER SUPER good! I washed it off with a cold brew and it was the best way to start off a Friday. Turnaround time was also super fast! I could've easily did some work there, but opted to do it on my phone while I sat there and enjoyed the people and vibes around me. Seating is decent enough and you have your choice of high tables or regular size. Plenty of space to work, so don't feel nervous next time! read more
Ordered: Fontina Bun (~$12): scrambled eggs, sautéed shallots, chili mayo (No) Bacon Bun (~$13): scrambled eggs, cheddar, caramelized onions, ketchup; removed bacon Spicy Tomato & Cheddar Gougeres (~$6) Aya's take: It is so difficult to find a good breakfast sandwich in the area but Scram is holding it down for the community. We got the Fontina Bun & (No) Bacon Bun! The Fontina Bun is insanely good. The buns are super pillowy, fresh, and buttery. The scrambled eggs were fluffy, moist, and complimented the sautéed shallots and chili mayo so well. I liked it a lot better than the (No) Bacon Bun which was a bit more basic and not as cohesive. We also got the Spicy Tomato & Cheddar Gougeres which I absolutely loved. The tomato was fresh & sweet, the gougeres was buttery and had the texture of a biscuit, and the cheese added a savory element to each bite. I enjoyed this way more than I thought! Contrary to other reviews, they did still have the breakfast sandwiches which I was thrilled about but they didn't have any donuts when I went which I was also looking forward to. If you're in the area, definitely check them out! read more
Visited this spot as part of a bakery crawl in JC. Vanilla malt cookie and asparagus pecorino puff were both amazing. Also liked my iced oat milk latte. Didn't actually try the famous breakfast sandwiches... next time! And I want to get the cinnamon roll. read more

I've tried both the ham and the sausage sandwiches. the sandwiches are great, but I had to knock a star down because of the price. A $13 (in 2023) sandwich this small makes it hard for me to come back. However the coffee is also good and the seating is a great addition. read more

cute cozy cafe w/ ample seating and delicious breakfast sandwiches pinmento - the egg scramble was nice and fluffy! puff had a crumbly texture while maintaining structural integrity; pimento wasnt too overwhelmingly strong and had a nice cheesy flavor, theres also a sweet chili-like jam! delicious read more
Whoa. That egg tart is the business. I thought it was overhyped but... wow. The egg tart is so eggy and not custard creamy like the average one, but so rich while not being heavy, and overall delicious. The burnt top gives it a caramelized flavor at the end of your bite that makes it scandalous... We also got a sausage wrap... I'd say its just ok but bf loved it. It's def where I'd go when craving a bfast sandwich but next time will try the bacon/ham. Iced latte with the SESAME MILK. You guys have me looking through whole foods like a crazy person with no sesame milk to be found :'( Service was fast and friendly and there was plenty of standing room for your average coffeeshop on a Sat morning at 10am. I blame the torrential downpour. $14 for a breakfast sandwich is questionable. $5 for an eggtart is also questionable. Will revisit upon craving a bfast sando/sesame milk craving/luscious egg tart desire. read more

Ordered the chorizo breakfast sandwich. It had a surprisingly sweet tomato jam on it that was too sweet to pair with eggs in my opinion. The bun was deliciously buttery and flaky, you could tell it was made in-house. Could've used more chorizo and less sweet jam sauce. Wouldn't get this one again, but looking forward to trying the classic bacon sandwich next time. Cold brew was great. read more

First time I came to the bakery was Saturday 10am and after waiting 30 min, was told most of the pastries were already sold out. This time I came at Saturday 8am and with barely any line, I left with my order in 10 min. Ordered the ham bun and egg custard tarts. Ham Bun: The brioche is soft and warm, and the egg is over easy. The ham has a VERY sweet pineapple marinade which I didn't appreciate. It's too sweet for a breakfast sandwich so early in the morning. The $9 price tag seems unjustified for a breakfast sandwich but the ham/bacon/sausage sandwiches are the bakery's most popular items. Not sure if I'll crave and/or order this again any time soon. Egg Tarts: I'm a fan of both Hong Kong and Portuguese egg tarts. Scram's egg tart's outward appearance resembles the Portuguese type, being burnt at the top. The custard is creamy and sweet (surprisingly less sweet than the ham) while the outside is flaky and toasted. It tastes similar to the Portuguese egg tarts I pick up at my local Chinese bakery but these have extra volume! Would definitely recommend trying this one out! read more

Their pastry and egg sandwiches were amazing! Personally I enjoyed the sausage sandwich the most while my husband loves the ham sandwich. Tried a few pastries like egg tarts and fig coffee cake. Nothing to complain about other than they sold out fast(come before 11am to get a better selection). Coffee was good too. Staff was friendly and efficient. Love this little gem! read more

This place is amazing!! I always go for their pimento and pastry (so far have tried the egg tart, carrot cake, and cinnamon roll and cookie - all delicious!) The egg tarts usually sell out around 10/10:30am so be sure to get there early. Staff is also super friendly! There is not a lot of seating inside so most people take it to go. I only wish they were open for more days or longer hours. I believe their current hours are Thursday - Sunday 8am -12pm. A definite go to in jersey city! read more

We got the pannacotta yogurt granola and the pear almond danish with a little espresso don't sleep on this place!! Right now open 8-12PM Thursday through Sunday. A delightful way to start your morning. I prefer to share my food so we bought our items $20 dollars as a light breakfast before lunch. Reasonable for the quality of their food. The ambiance is great the music is great and the shoo always has people in line but we got our stuff almost immediately. Really great business I would come here everyday if I could read more

the early bird gets the sandwiches! finally made my way over here after multiple (mental) attempts to try to come over here on weekend mornings. the bakery wasn't too crowded when i got there and a few ppl were waiting on their order. the layout of the place was a little odd, you'd see the coffee station first, kitchen, display case for the baked goods, refrigerated case with some juices, and you'd order at the small station in the back on the left side. ordering was quick and easy and i got the following to try: -ham sandwich: runny egg, gruyere, bechamel, ham, pineapple jam on the softest milk buns. the pineapple jam was a nice sweet, surprising touch. -sausage sandwich: fluffy scrambled eggs, cream cheese, chives, jalapenos, sausage on the same soft milk buns too. the flavors were good, though i did the find the texture of the sausage was a little "close" and sorta dry. -cinnamon roll: soft & pillowy, cinnamon-y, and just the right amount of sweetness. what a treat! -iced latte (with whole milk): a little too milky for my taste, the coffee became a little muted. it took about 15 mins for me to order and get my food. i do understand that they're made to order but even at that felt a bit long lol. highly recommend the ham sandwich when you go, and some baked goods too. will return for sure. read more

We love Scram! Arrive early in a Saturday/Sunday Morning to experience delicious egg sandwiches with the most delightful meats and specialty jams. The pastries do not disappoint, and their donuts are world-class. The lines get serious as the day progresses and the space is quite small - but the food and the service are fantastic! read more
