The classic sober shot is hands down my favorite coffee of all time. It is CRAZY good and the people and atmosphere are great too!

This is my go-to place when I crave for iced frizzy coffee on a hot day. The Sober Shot coffee has sparkling water and espresso shots with cream top. I like the look of the layer and the cream top gives another layer of flavor to the coffee. The routine for me is to get the lox on a everything bagel from Wonder Bagel across street and come here to get a drink to start my day. read more

This place might throw people off if they're looking for traditional coffee but the drinks here are delicious and worth a try. Service is always friendly and quick. The white top is delicious (reminds me of Asian bubble team foam cap), it's creamy and a perfect combo with whichever drink you order. My favorite is the green tea one. read more

SOBER SHOT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

My husband and I love trying new coffee spots, found this while going through yelp. Nice spacious place, our Barista were great at helping us. We got 2 different types of Matcha and the latte everything was on point and delicious! Would definitely love to come back here and try their other drinks on the menu! read more

We were craving some coffee and spotted this place right across from Wonder Bagel, so we decided to give it a try. There's a few sitting but not a lot. I forgot exactly what we ordered, but one of them was a matcha -- and both drinks were delicious! A little on the pricey side, but maybe that's just standard for the area (we're out-of-towners). Definitely worth stopping by for a quick and tasty coffee break! read more

SOBER SHOT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Any fellow coffee lover will adore this spot. The barista was so pleasant and she made all our drinks fast and delicious. The place has the downtown jersey city vibe to it. Artwork dotted along the walls and enough space for you to work on your laptop and snazzy music. The menu is basic but surprisingly delicious with what they offer. We got the regular size cups and I ordered the Pink Lady and the strawberry with the coffee was 10/10 for me and it didn't hurt my stomach cause they used the lactose milk. Total for my drink was $7. Decent price for the size and the location so not too much to complain about. If you're in the area stop by and have a shot read more

Love Sober Shot! I stopped in to grab some coffee during my break. I ordered a latte with oat milk and it was just what I needed on a rainy day. Loved the jazz music playing in the background as I waited for my order. Great friendly service. I shared that I was a new customer and was given a thorough rundown of the menu options which I greatly appreciated. Definitely will be back soon! read more

Never had a bad drink or service here! Service is always super friendly and drinks hit the spot. Love matcha and the spin they take on it with so many different varieties. A must try! Yes, it's expensive but what isn't in Downtown Jersey City anymore lol at least the specialty drinks are worth it! read more

I love Sober Shot's Matcha drinks! The atmosphere is great and they sometimes play jazz. The baristas are vert fast and nice. Only down side I'd say is that you have to pay for no Ice, especially in the cold weather. read more

SOBER SHOT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Sober Shot is a treat! I come to Jersey City to visit one of my friends a few times a year, and I always like to stop in. My favorite drink is their iced coffee with the strawberry foam! I've never had a coffee with strawberry foam before and it is genuinely one of my favorite things I've ever had. I do wish they offered smaller sizes though. The drink is really really big, and is a bit pricey too- 2 iced coffees were $15. read more

I came by Sober Shot on a Saturday afternoon and they weren't busy. The cafe has some seating area where I saw people doing work. The place has great vibes and I would love to come do work/study here in the future! I got the Pink Lady which tasted absolutely amazing! It was strawberry milk foam with coffee! I definitely recommend! I would come back to try their other drinks and the custard eggs which I heard are very good! read more

SOBER SHOT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

We walked by Sober Shot the other day and I was intrigued. On the outside you can tell it's a coffee shop, but I had no idea what kind of coffee they sold until I looked them up on Yelp. I was immediately intrigued. Right before the pandemic hit, I tried a carbonated tea drink in Manhattan and loved it. I'm also a huge fan of nitro coffee. So it's only natural that I opted to go for the Not Too Sober, which is an Americano with cold foam top. I LOVED it. The flavors mixed so well together. On its own, the foam top is a bit salty. But together with the bitter and sweet coffee, it really added to the flavor profile. They're running a combo where you can get select drinks + their egg carton (an egg shaped cake that's popular street food in Asia) for $9.50. An amazing deal and we loved the eggs so much. They remind me of these drum cakes that they sell in Japan filled with custard and chocolate. I'm so happy I found this cafe and cannot wait to be back to try more drinks! read more

Um hello amazing coffee shop with an amazing name and amazing prices!!! I got an iced soy latte and it was easily $2 cheaper than most places, not to mention it tasted fantastic. The cups are so cool too, for those who recycle you can definitely get a few good uses out of it. Great service too, will be back 100%! read more

My go to for coffee - perfect each time The vibe in here is good , wish they would have indoor seating again but alas..... Will return a million times over read more

Love the vibes here. Super chill coffee shop. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and we were the only ones here. The drinks came fast and there's a lot of different options. Overall will recommend this place for the great service and the variety of drinks. read more

Really underwhelming. We didn't like the sweet cream foam AT ALL. We actually poured out the top foam in the street trash can. It's incredibly sweet and the texture is thick. Maybe this place is for people with a higher sugar tolerance (though I have a major sweet tooth), but I was disappointed to pay a premium price for such awful coffee read more

SOBER SHOT - Matcha and Black Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This was a fun place to check out in Jersey City. They definitely have unique options, between the sparkling drinks and the butterfly pea. One thing I appreciated was that almond and soy milk are free (oat was extra). We got the Not So Sober (americano with white foam) and the Blue Monday (latte plus butterfly pea). The drinks are definitely aesthetically pleasing and decent. The Not So Sober definitely turned out to be sweeter than expected. I'd probably go again to try a matcha drink or to have a fun drink again, but this wouldn't be my go to or everyday coffee shop. read more

Cute place for unique coffees! I ordered the sober shot which was carbonated espresso with cream on ice! Honestly was very good, different and I loved the fizz. They have a lot of different options for coffee and matcha lattes that are all aesthetically pleasing. I give a 3 star however due to the wait and questionable cleanliness. There was only 2 other people when I went yet the barista was very slow and unfocused. I waited about 15 minutes for my one order. While he was making it I also noticed him touch several things in between including the trash and recycling bin without washing hands. Maybe it's just this one barista but it did not sit well with me. read more

SOBER SHOT - Sober Shot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This costs $$$ so get ready to shell out. The white top (foamy creamy sweet milk) was different me at first I thought it was cheese foam which is a turn off for me. But that first sip was strong all I tasted was the white top foam haha. But you gotta sip a bit more then the "bubbly" expresso seeps through . Then, it's a nice sparkilng and cheese foam like consistency all together! So after a few sour face sips I shook the cup to mix it all coz I can't just keep drinking the expresso through the foam! Btw, the lids are incredible preventing spills. I didn't shake it like a barista but a light shake back and forth didn't spill my drink! Now that it's shook , it's a way better taste!! It was too sweet for my boyfriend and I agree it is sweet and I don't believe you can customize the sugars because the white top is already prepared but I'll ask when I go back next time! read more

The worker was really nice and told us the white top was made of heavy cream and a condensed milk so I was very excited to have it on top of my matcha I figured it would be similar to a sweet cold foam but I was VERY WRONG. The white top tastes like cheese? It's really weird and I wasn't expecting it at all. With that being said the matcha was really good and when it started mixing it wasn't bad kind of like a matcha cheese cake but I had to scoop some off the top because it was a lot. Over all the place was nice and it's a cool concept the cheese flavor just threw me off. Matcha was good but I wouldn't get the white top if you don't like cheese. read more

The lady working was one hardworking woman! I've always wanted to try butterfly pea flower tea and I finally got to at this coffee shop! I really appreciate that they do not charge for almond or soy milk bc charging for a nondairy alternative is an incredible turn off at any coffee shop. the coffee here is outstanding and their matcha is perfectly sweet. Definitely recommend stopping in read more

I've walked past Sober Shot a few times after getting bagels across the street at Wonder Bagel. I always thought that the name, along with their sign - which appears to be made of white duct tape - made it a strange looking place. After hearing good things from others and on Yelp, I decided to give it a try. I ordered their namesake drink, the Sober Shot, and really enjoyed it. First of all, the drink itself is huge and more than a fair size for the price, unlike most coffee shops which charge $5-$6 for a drink that is a few ounces smaller. I was skeptical of the fact that these drinks have sparkling water in them, but I really enjoyed my drink. It tasted like a slightly carbonated cold foam cold brew; the carbonation was barely noticeable. Overall, very interesting taste and a unique offering compared to other local coffee spots. I did knock off a star because their menu doesn't do a great job of explaining what each drink actually is. Had I not looked on Yelp in advance of showing up to the shop, I would have had no idea what I was ordering. Other than that, I really like this place and look forward to stopping here on weekends after picking up bagels. read more

All the milks are pre-sweetened, and there are no options that are unsweetened... I couldn't get a latte that was not sweet, which was a bit weird. Other than that, the cafe is nice with some seating. The drinks are pretty big too. read more

I really enjoyed the dirty matcha with oat milk (+$1). The sober shot has a little fizz with coffee. Definitely is more of an acquired taste. I wasn't a fan of it. But the service and food were great!!! I wish they had something like this in nyc!!! read more

Very cute cafe with nice decorations inside. The drinks are all very unique, but be aware as they are pretty pricey. I feel like it all really depends on the barista, because I went twice and the first time, it was really good and I absolutely loved it. But the next time I went, it was really watered down (from the first sip)/flavorless, and I barely drank it. I think this place might be a hit or a miss depending on when you go, but definitely worth a shot going! I liked their menu selection and how pretty all the drinks looked. read more

It's not always easy making a name for yourself in the hustle and bustle of downtown Jersey City, but Sober Shot brings a unique concept to the area...and some delicious coffees and teas to match. The main draw is the Unnormal: espresso, green tea, black tea, or others mixed with sparkling water and frothy milk, with traditional coffees and teas on offer as well. The Unnormal espresso is one of the best iced coffee drinks I've had in a long while: the fizz brings a clean, bright flavour out of the espresso with the milk not dimming the bold roast. read more

The baristas here are so helpful! I didn't know what to get so I just got a regular coffee with a milk top and it was phenomenal. I went here after getting bagels (obviously) across the street but was such a good coffee I will be going back. read more

i accidentally found sober shot while attempting to find a smoothie or tea based drink before work. i am new to jersey city and have no idea where anything is - but sober shot came up on google and yelp and i 100% based my decision to stop by n the fact they have cat murals. i showed the girl behind the counter a photo from yelp of a drink and she knew it was the sexy matcha by the color. the drink was delicious and very cheap which was also a plus ! read more

SOBER SHOT - sexy matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I was interested in checking out this new coffee spot after seeing so many great reviews. I went in knowing that they have sparkling water and white tops in their drinks. It sounded kind of strange to me but I was willing to try it nonetheless, and I'm glad I did! Shop is located right near Würstbar and easy to get to. I took off a star because it was an extremely hot summer day and the inside of the store is extremely hot. I felt like I was melting in the 5 minutes I waited to get my drink. I was trying to decide between the regular unnormal sober shot or the sexy matcha, so I asked the cashier to give me her reco. She said the unnormal sober shot had a cleaner taste so I went with that. Wasn't sure what she meant by "clean" but that's exactly what I felt when I tasted it! It was surprisingly really good. The white top was slightly salty, but creamy and sweet. It was just the right amount of sweetness overall- I don't like drinks that are too sweet. Also a very cool layered drink to take pictures of if you're into that lol I shook it up to mix everything. Definitely satisfied and will be back to try the sexy matcha next time! read more

I am a huge matcha fan!! Soooo, when I saw this place In jersey city I was super excited to see the pretty drinks I saw online along with the fact that its advertised explaining what your drinking. I had the sexy matcha which had a lavender color on top which is a type of Asian powder they use called butterfly pea flower and it has its own benefits and what not. It was delicious, if you love matcha it's very matcha forward and that's what I loved about it!! They have very convenient cups they give too that comes with a little top u can use to open and close back up, I actually reused it cause I liked it so much The drink is also very Instagram friendly! It's colorful and pretty. Parking sucks in that area of jersey city because it's so busy but if your in the area I still suggest to try it because it was delicious and there will be interesting flavors you may have not tried and it's foodie approved!! read more

Nice lil shop around the busy street, the price is affordable and drinks are ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy! Loving the iced macha, beautiful color with kick ass cup. This place is worth a trip! The decor is warm, wish more seats and outlets but still a good place for reading or afternoon study. The barista is pretty knowledgeable on drinks. Spoke to the Taiwanese owner, heard about her interesting story about how she building the shop and selecting the ingredients to cups. Def check out this place when you are around! read more

First off, the interior is simple but eclectic chic. Definitely fits in with the trendy neighborhood. The staff are all very polite and efficient in making drinks quickly even with several customers ordering multiple beverages. I ordered the sober shot and my friend got the butterfly pea flower latte. The sober shot was one of the most refreshing beverages I ever had. It had just the right amount of sparking effervescence with smooth espresso. The white foam top was not overly sweet but complimented the unsweetened espresso. I also stole a sip of my friend's drink. Never had butterfly pea flower latte, but it was also tasty. It was almost a cross between matcha and sweet soybean powder latte. With so many health benefits and a delicious taste, it's a winner! This cafe is definitely worth a trip, especially on a hot summer day! read more

This was the most unique coffee shop I've been to in jersey city! I loved the custard eggs- we got 3 custard and 3 nutella, they were fresh and warm and delicious treat to split with friends. I got the strawberry sober shot which was an interesting flavour with coffee, (I'm normally pretty boring with my coffee but tried to be a little adventurous) my friends got the classic sober shot which I tried and 10/10 recommend! read more

Bumped into this little hidden gem on Easter when they did the soft opening and fell in love right away! Ordered their signature drink Sexy Macha, the beautifully layered macha drink awesome in both looks and tastes. I had that paired with egg custards with mixed flavor, including both sweet and savory ones. The original cream one was my favorite but the savory one with tuna salad and corns was such a pleasant surprise! Overall the experience is super refreshing - never seen anything similar in Jersey city/Hoboken area and neither commonly found in the city. Above all, the price is super friendly and conveniently located near grove street path. The shop is simple, clean and chic. Lots locals and visitors in and out within the short 20 mins while I was there. Won't be surprised to see those innovative drinks get popular on Instagram soon! read more

This is a cool look spot great for work. They have this cute sweet Taiwanese street food that comes in 8 in an egg carton. I tried vanilla and chocolate custard and tuna. I suggest the custard though they are a bit too sweet, they are very cute and come piping hot soft and fresh. The kids would love this. I tried a sparkling drink (sober shot) and it wasn't my thing but others liked it. They can make all the drinks without the seltzer like taste as well Instead I opted for a plain mocha which has Nutella in it; it was light on the Nutella so I asked for more Nutella. The drinks are mild; I wish they were stronger in flavor (less watery) hence 1 star removed. The barista was one of the nicest ones I've ever met; definitely 5 stars for her! I got a solid 3.5 hours of work done here so I'll definitely come back. read more

The coffee is affordable because the iced coffee was 2.50 read more
