    Almond Croissant
    Nikko A.

    Steven's Cafe is the best coffee shop around. The almond croissant is out of this world and taste like a pastry made out of some fancy European bakery. The almond past filling is insane and I would eat this every day if I could. Now when it comes to coffee, you cannot beat the iced caramel macchiato. The staff is always super friendly and the cafe is super clean and a great place to relax and chat over coffee and a pastry. Grab some Steven's cafe next time you're walking by the river walk!

    Once again Steven's get it wrong. Ordered a bagel toasted dark with cream cheese. Not toasted. I dont understand how one place could be so bad all at once. Its continual. Second time today they screwed up an order which i why i am putting in two reviews. Not only overpriced, low quality food - but the level of ssrvice continues to fall short.

    This place was just ok. The ham and cheese croissant sandwich I had was the best part. The bagels tasted like nothing. The latte was just OK. Nothing special. Barely any espresso. Service was ok. The branding and decor were just ok.

    Super hot inside with somewhat slow service. 1/3 macarons was stale. They don't tell you that credit cards carry a 3% surcharge fee, and that cash use is encouraged. Food was just okay, but definitely not worth the price. Protein smoothie (Almond Joy) tasted chalky with synthetic vanilla protein flavor added in. Overall an expensive mistake and a no.

    You can't beat the view! The pastries and drinks are also pretty good with many selections. They have outdoor seating or indoor and are situated next to a real estate agency for luxury homes in the area. We need more little places like these here!

    Stopped here for dessert and a glimpse of the city view one night after dinner. The staff was super friendly and we stopped by about an hour before closing. We got a hot chocolate and a decaf cappuccino. The cappuccino tasted like pure water to me, not very good. The hot chocolate was alright, tasted powdery. Nothing special really. We also got some treats. They have bags of popcorn out with fun flavors. I got a fruit medley flavor and that was delicious. (Low calorie too!) I also got 4 macaroons and 2 eclairs. I got the Nutella and my boyfriend got just regular vanilla creme. He wasn't too thrilled with his and I thought mine was actually pretty good. The Nutella creme was great, the nuts on top were fresh and crunchy. The macaroons fell super short for me. The actual treat itself was baked perfectly, perfect size but the flavors just weren't there at all. The pistachio was bland, the strawberry poppy actually tasted bad to me. I ended up just buying the rest and tossing them. This place definitely has some good options, I don't know if it was a freshness issue or not but some pastries are great and some just fall short.

    It's always a nice stop along a walk by the Hudson River. Probably not your typical artisanal café in Hoboken that carries hand crafted nitro, this place does offer wonderful service and a variety of drinks and food to fuel your adventure over here.

    I'm honestly surprised I have the self control to not visit Steven's everyday. It's my go-to bagel spot; The New Yorker is seriously among the best lox sandwiches I've ever had. I also love grabbing a detox juice after working out! Since COVID they no longer have indoor seating to promote social distancing. However there are still tables outside! I just take mine to go, but it's nice to know there's that option. They have a digital menu board instead of just the paper menus they used to have when they first opened, which is great. I normally order a sandwich, coffee, or green juice (all great), but one of these days I need to treat myself to one of their baked goods. They always have a wide variety of macaroons (including interesting flavors like birthday cake and Nutella!) and they also have eclairs right now that look amazing.

    This would be an amazing 5 stars if they had a toilet. Except for that they are a must try. First their coffee is reasonably priced. They also have an assortment of pastries, macaroons, cakes, breakfast options and paninis. And on top of that they are fast, the waiters are nice and attentive. They have a pretty spacious interior and have nice decorations, their vibe is kind of industrial. This is a must try, and if you do try you will come back guarantied!

    Inside

    The place is nice inside with plenty of seating and they have outdoor seats as well with a beautiful view of the city but I wasn't trilled about the customer experience. The iced chai latte was great and the egg avocado wrap was tasty but the m&m cookie that I got was stale. I will return for the iced chai but that's about it.

    I actually found this place here on Yelp, I'm visiting a friend living in the area. First off, the cashier was super rude for some reason. The only reason I proceeded with the payment is because I was starving and had no energy to do my research again. 3 people ordered after me and got their drinks sooner than I did. Kind of weird. Panini is horrible, all I could taste is mayo and some weird spices. Tasted like a gas station sandwich for $5-6 to be honest. I felt like drinking some coffee, after finishing my juice (juice was good, thank God) and whatever I could eat of that sandwich , but I just didn't want to spend any money there :// Such a nice area and such a disappointment.... UPD: It also tells a lot that the owner labels his customer as a "slander" (that's how he referred to me in his response, not sure if it is visible publicly) You may be surprised but I spoke to another friend who lived in the building for several years, that the food was never good, as well as the coffee . Surprisingly, some ppl voted for my review...must me some miserable slanders! I didn't want to say that, since it had nothing to do with my experience. I never insulted anyone in my review, but the owner's response shocked me even more than the customer service. I now see that it made no sense to even review the place. You could have messaged me directly to find out the details Have an amazing day and good luck with the business

    I live close by, so I enjoy walking to this cafe frequently. There are a lot of different options for drinks -- from everything to coffee, cold brew, lattes, and fruit smoothies as well. The cold brew is my favorite if they have any left for the day! I've also tried the Pistachio Escargot pastry and that was very delicious. Definitely recommend getting any of the pastries heated up. There is also a large selection of macarons but I have never tried any from there - they do like delicious and there are a huge variety of flavors. The pastry case is pretty stocked so I usually end up getting something from the case. 10/10 recommend checking out the place whether you're a local or visiting the area. Enjoy!

First off, the interior and attention to detail is so cute and aesthetically pleasing. Ambiance was so relaxing and just my vibe. I got the watermelon and mint juice, huevos rancheros, polenta fries, and mango pistachio Brulé French toast. Everything was 10/10! Watermelon and mint juice - so refreshing, great way to start off the morning. I just added a small lemon slice to add a bit of brightness to the drink, but great as is. Huevos rancheros - the corn tortilla was super crispy. Everything blended beautifully. We did ask for hot sauce like Tapatio or Cholula, but I guess they don't carry this and gave us more Verde salsa instead. No worries, I think it speaks volume that this place prides itself in giving guests condiments they specially made from scratch! Polenta fries - so crispy so good. Underneath the fries is some sort of sauce with horseradish. It's hard to explain. Just know that this was really good lol. Mango pistachio Brulé French toast - I am more of a savory breakfast type of person but something about this stood out to me so I decided to try it and don't regret it one bit. The mango purée and the French toast was like a perfect blend of something fresh with something super carb heavy. Aesthetically, I haven't seen anything like this, and it was just something beautiful and magically created. There's not many places where I'm just in awe of the food and also not many places where I think the price and the quality of the food matches as well. I am so glad I was able to try out this place and will always look forward to eating here again!

I definitely recommend having a reservation as they were pretty busy on a Sunday morning. The Cappuccino was well-made, soothing, and gave me a much-needed caffeine kick.

The broth is amazing. I loved every bite of that. Then we got the pastilla and tajine d'agneau. The pastilla is delectable. A must. It's some of the wildest flavor combinations I've ever experienced. You're eating shredded chicken mixed with cinnamon and white powdered sugar. All within phyllo dough. The tajine is fun to try, but it was just OK. It's kind of like a lamb stew. I will give kudos to a very soft and not too chewy Lamb. The prunes and apricots are such a unique flavor duo with these. Couscous is fun. This meal was a 4 for me but everything else, divine. The music was fun. They a live guitarist and sax player serenaded us. Dim lighting. Such a prime location. Lovely to walk through this neighborhood after you're stuffed.
