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!

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

Solid cappuccino

Great cappuccino. Clean space, calm vibe. Loved it. Will definitely return again & I recommend!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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%!

Matcha and Black Tea

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

Not too sober
Chandni L.

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.

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.

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!

I am still a big fan of Matcha Yuzu Opera. It is simply delicious especially when matcha sponges…read morewere made very moist. I get disappointed if it was sold out or the chef didn't make it on my visit. The spread of Yuzu Marmalade on top of the cake makes big difference. When it was replaced by squeezes of white butter cream, it became totally different taste and flavor, which i didn't care at all. The white milky cream in between layers tastes so good as well. It blends perfectly with matcha sponge and Yuzu marmalade in your mouth. I have also tried a madelane raspberry cheesecake, a madelane lemon cheesecake, a chocolate hazelnut opera, and a flan. Both cheesecakes were very flavorful and could spread raspberry or lemon flavor in my mouth right after the first bite. I liked both very much. I also really liked a chocolate hazelnut opera. Its chocolate hazelnut cream was so good. In the end, I liked all of their "opera" cakes. Flan was okay. Not my favorite. It was just a baked version of flan. It's too simple.

My friend's hot chocolate was also excellent - rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I spent a good five minutes just staring at the display case, especially the pistachio cake and lemon cheesecake. I'll be back for a full pastry run soon!

more like a 3.5 out of 5 stars. i was in town for a business trip, and this place wasn't too far…read morefrom my hotel. I walked here about 30 mins before closing, and it was empty. Heads up, this place is extremely small, i don't even recall any area inside to sit. Think all orders here are for to go. When i arrived, i order via a kiosk and the person making the drink was able to make it fairly quickly. ended up getting a mango sago drink. most boba places i go to now, i typically order a version of a mango sago drink. guess i'm in my mango era. overall, decent place to get your milk tea / boba drink.

Peach season is back and so is my favorite peach drink…read more The Peach Cheese was full of big, juicy peach pieces. You can really taste the difference when drinks are made with fresh fruit. The Pineapple Bobo with coconut milk was another good one. Pineapple and boba worked surprisingly well together. Black Grape Cheese is still my go-to. I always get it with no sugar and it's honestly not sweet at all. Mango Sago is my husband's favorite. Even with no added sugar, it's still naturally sweet because the mango is so ripe. For fresh fruit tea in JC, this is still my favorite spot. Get the seasonal fruit drinks while they're available. And you might get lucky and see the cute guy working behind the counter.
