Biscuit Babe in Hoboken really said, "Come hungry and mind your business." Because this BBQ biscuit? Whew. Juicy chicken popping off. Savory onions doing the most. BBQ sauce sliding in like, "Don't forget about me." It's messy, it's bold, it's giving soul food in a biscuit with an attitude. 10/10, would ruin my lipstick for it again. read more

People need to be more patient on opening weekends! They didn't expect the rush and for the biscuits to be so popular and sold out 200 in one day which they had anticipated would cover the whole weekend. Customer service was friendly, transparent, and honest about the shortcomings of their first weekend and I appreciated it. I waited the 15 min for the next biscuit batch to be made and they were SOO GOOD. Ackee and saltfish, chicken bbq biscuits, and the sausage egg and cheese we ordered and they biscuit was buttery, fluffy, and tasty along with everything it came with. Cute spot with nice seating. Their homemade jam was also really delicious - this will definitely be a new go-to place for me. read more

I would suggest coming back in a few weeks once they've managed through grand opening learnings. We live locally, and have seen the artwork on the window of what used to be D's Soul Food Cafe for what I'm estimating is 12-18 months minimally, potentially 2 years. We've been looking forward to them opening for a while. While we've visited and supported many new businesses in town over the years, and they all have to get their "sea legs" when opening, this establishment left a bit to be desired due to: 1) no staff present - there was literally no one behind the counter for up to 15 minutes (it seemed everyone was in the back, as you could here people behind the curtain) 2) lack of clarity on what they had to sell/offer customers--when someone did come out, they didn't ask if I needed help, so I asked if I could order, she said sure. I asked if there was any food left (they are a biscuit place and nothing was in the pastry case by the register with no food on sight). She said she wasn't sure and had to check. 3) whatever they did have at one point, they ran out of very very early which left nothing on the menu to order (but coffee)--there was not food to order. Once the employee came back, she said that they ran out of biscuits (the only food item they sell and their namesake) not even half way through their business day (3.5-4 hours in) and 5 hours before their business day ends. I was offered to order coffee if I wanted. I chose not to (I came to try the biscuits). 4) no communication externally--if they're sold out, even placing a hand written sign in the window would be helpful. Seemed like they were so overwhelmed that they didn't even know what they did/didn't have to offer. I really hope they work through some of the above opportunity areas and I'll try again in a few weeks. Interested to try what their namesake product tastes like. read more

It looks like a legitimate business, but after my first visit I'm not so sure. I placed an order through Uber (which can be finicky, I get it) and walked in to hear the systems were down. My order hadn't even been started, so I had to wait. The girl at the counter told me she wasn't sure what they had in stock--if it's on the menu, shouldn't it be in stock? Isn't the one job here to actually have the ingredients? Meanwhile, the customer behind me wasn't acknowledged at all and left after five minutes with no service. Eventually, the worker came back to say one of the three items I ordered wasn't available, and that I'd need to go through Uber for a refund (kill me). I thought about grabbing a biscuit from the display case until I noticed the fly casually hanging out on it. When I finally got my breakfast sandwich, it was painfully dry and just plain gross. I tried salvaging it with some hot honey, but it didn't make the rubbery, cubed chicken any less depressing. On top of that, the sauce I specifically ordered was completely forgotten. I really wanted to leave a great review--I like to support small, local businesses--but honestly, I think a kindergarten class could've put together something more impressive than what I experienced here. read more

Ordered from the Biscuit Babe Sunday 4/12. I was very excited to support a black owned/woman owned business. My biscuit arrived in a black bodega bag unwrapped. They used one of those bakery tissues that didn't even cover the full circumference of the biscuit. It arrived floating around in the unsanitary bag. I commented on one of their IG post and instead of taking responsibility for their poor packing practices they tried to blame the delivery svc. The biscuit should have been wrapped individually in something secure so floating around in what is essentially a garbage bag is not a possibility. I will be telling everyone I know not to support. Poor customer service is the biggest red flag!!!! read more

Food & Drinks: We ordered the Basic Babe, BBL Drizzy, and Cry Babee, along with lavender lemonade and matcha babe. The biggest issue was that the sandwiches were very dry. The biscuit itself is really good, but once it turns into a sandwich, it's where it goes wrong. The chicken was too thick and not coated in enough sauce for the biscuit size and texture. The egg, cheese, and sausage were also very dry with the biscuit. It feels like, because the biscuit was good, that they thought they could put anything with it and it would taste good, but they didn't put much thought into the sandwich creation and build. The drinks were terrible. The counter person raved about the drinks and how they would taste, but they lacked flavor. They were warm instead of iced, and the additional flavorings that we asked for were not present in the drinks. When we asked for more sauce because the sandwiches were dry, we were told the sauces cost a dollar each for a very small amount. Atmosphere and Service : We arrived it's an acute small cozy place, there are tables to eat and dine, but it's very intimate. There was one person working the counter and it looked like one person was in the kitchen cooking. The counter person was a great server but he did make our order to go which we didn't ask for and we waited 15 minutes for a drink due to the fact that he was sitting at the counter eating a sandwich behind the register and our drinks were not made the way we asked. Overall we wanted to come out and support the business and try the food I would not return due to the unpleasant experience with the food but hopefully they will make some changes for future customers. read more

First time stumbling upon this spot! The crispy chicken sandwich with homemade honey sauce (BBL Drizzy) was to die for. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy. The biscuit was hot and soft. My boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich which was great too. His only complaint was there wasn't any ketchup on the table lol and the only employee working was too busy for him to ask. But otherwise everything was perfect, and service was great. read more

This spot has become a regular breakfast date spot for my husband and I. We love the basic babe, and the single biscuit with honey butter and mixed berry jam with a latte. Definitely a place worth trying out for an amazing breakfast! FYI - skip the BBL drizzly (it's too salty and weird) read more

Great biscuits, service, and ambience. Lovely local spot to hang out and read a book on a calm Sunday evening.

Such a sweet place! Stopped in for coffee and breakfast and I'm so glad I did. Their biscuits are phenomenal, so fluffy but also that textural crunch on the outside. Soso good! It's so bright and well lit inside with a popped out window seat which you can sit at if you're lucky. Dana took my order, made me feel welcome and brought my food out piping hot a few minutes later!

The Biscuit Babe - Basic babe w sausage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Giving them grace because they just opened. Waited 10 minutes at counter to get my order taken because the person at counter was hustlin drink orders and the register.. like a champ handling it all herself - kudos to her! Then waited about 30 minutes for the biscuit. They were only bringing out like 1-3 at a time, so not sure what was going on - I suspect just still getting their footing. I only write this part to set expectations on early days of opening and wait times - it's just good context to have if you're in a rush or have to park or something. That being said, I enjoyed a chai latte while I waited. The girl at counter was nice. It's a cute little spot. Personally, the turkey bacon was very very undercooked and I got nervous to eat it so I took it off the sandwich. Maybe because they were busy my biscuit kind of felt like it was reheated rather than fresh. I don't want to use the word still because that may not be the case, but it just didn't have that soft texture that I had expected. Though the biscuit was a good size, I also didn't really get any flavor from the sandwich, which was interesting... Not even like a hint of salt. I guess I just had a more bold expectation for almost $19. I was excited and wanted to love it so bad and maybe I'll come back and try again when it's not as busy. Perhaps I need to come back and try something with their berries and butter or just a different option... I wouldn't totally count this place out, but I definitely think I need to have a second try. Hopefully that's a fair review. read more

I have been meaning to write a review for this adorable shop with sterling customer care since August (oops). Coming into NJ to meet friends for a road trip to NE I knew I needed caffeine and breakfast. At a reasonable price. Enter The Biscuit Babe. Or, I entered The Biscuit Babe, as it was the only place I could find on a weekday morning to get a filling breakfast, caffeine, and not spend over $25. The biscuit was buttery and crumbly and delicious. I believe I got a BEC, it was delightful, as was my beverage, no notes. I've a terrible memory so I don't recall the name of the woman behind the counter but, she was great! I feel like maybe the owner had stopped in also and she was a "vibe", as the kids say. If you live in this area let The Biscuit Babe be, at least, in your rotation of places to stop in to get caffeinated and (if you have a little extra time) a breakfast bite. It will be a bright start to your day. read more

Had the chicken and waffles. Both were cooked to perfection, and both were incredible. Great service, only about 15 minutes for the food, and a calm atmosphere. All in all, a great spot. read more

Not amazing, not terrible. Wouldn't rush back but the location is pretty good. Maybe it will improve over time.

Meant to write this a while ago. I personally was so incredibly surprised that a biscuit place didn't have gravy, like that's one of the best known things about biscuits! When I asked about gravy, the person working the register said they'd have it in soon; I thought this meant it was being cooked but apparently she meant it would be on the menu soon. Still she was very sweet and did apologize. I also would've loved to have had pork bacon or sausage (or even beef!) on the menu, but it was only turkey. Biscuit itself was very large but also dry. This place is very much catering to the gentrifiers in Hoboken, the interior feels like one of those AirBnB's that are devoid of personality. Personally not a place I would go to but many of the gentrifiers love it so it's worth a try. read more

love the love that is placed in the food !! the service is excelent love the sauce for the chi ken busi ut ...

This place is the bomb, their food is to die for. Big biscuits with hot delicious fried chicken and honey, and the prices aren't bad. Also super friendly staff, and they served us after they had started closing which was super nice of them. This place rocks let's keep it bus read more

Excellent fresh biscuits and very good food and drinks large drink menu variety of espressos and coffee.

I had been anticipating the opening of The Biscuit Babe for over a year when coming soon signs appeared. This cute little cafe opened a few weeks ago and I stopped by on a Saturday morning. I ordered a chicken biscuit sandwich. The young woman said there would be a wait because they make the chicken fresh. I assumed the wait would be no longer than a half hour. After 45 minutes, I approached the counter to inquire since the couple who placed their order right before me received theirs five minutes before. I presented my receipt and she took it to the kitchen and disappeared for five minutes. At that time the owner began taking orders at the counter. I explained what happened. She was very apologetic and within minutes I had my order. Shortly after I placed my order, other customers were told they wouldn't be taking any orders for 15 minutes. I heard one customer say she wouldn't come back. I realize this is a new restaurant but I would have thought that timing would have been worked out during their soft opening. In the future, I will place my order in advance by phone or online. Now, for the positives, the black and white decor is very cute. The restaurant seats about 16 and even though the space is not large, it doesn't feel cramped. When I got my sandwich home, it was still warm. The chicken had a very nicely seasoned breading and was perfectly fried. The biscuit was delicious and only slightly flaky. The honey sauce was delicious. I only wish the chicken were cut thinner because the biscuit didn't hold it well. It was nice that they included a plastic cutlery set because it was needed. Hopefully, Biscuit Babe will find a way to serve their food more efficiently because for the quality and price, it's certainly worth the trip. read more

It was just a biscuit, nothing special. Given it was their first Saturday, we expected a longer wait but expected a great biscuit. Once we got home we noticed our order was wrong. Coffee taste like McDonalds-meh. Yes the wait to order and then for food was long (arrived 5 minutes after opening). The flow inside needs to be improved. Very tight space and once you get your food you are trapped at the back of their establishment. If you decide to dine in you will have people waiting in line standing over your table. Will try one more time after the opening bugs are worked out. They should consider their price point is about 10-15% high for what is an ordinary biscuit. The price could be supported if the food was great. We'll see if they can survive Hoboken foodies? read more

Love that we have a biscuit and coffee place in Hoboken - I love biscuits and always seek them out when I'm in the south but am so happy there's a place to go here now! Biscuits are great and coffee is good too - recommend! read more

People tend to be used to fast service when handling food but I will always wait for quality fresh foods. Love small businesses and supporting them. Had the BBLChicken biscuit and it was great! They even gave me a different biscuit I was eyeing for free. I also ordered the Watermelon spritz. All were great and I'll definitely be going again. read more

I do realize it's opening weekend but not at all what I was expecting. This spot took about 2 years for them to open so I was excited to support their opening weekend and another small business in town. Food options were disappointing and honestly the biscuits not that great. Maybe my expectations were too high but was expecting like a seriously good biscuit since this is what the business is based on and it was just ok. It wasn't tasty. The coffee was good but it's unfortunately not a spot I would run back to. My hope is things will change over the coming weeks. Also all food was delivered in to go boxes and bags even for people who opted to dine in . It was brought to the table in a shopping bag which was a little strange and seems to be a little wasteful and not environmentally friendly. read more

The Biscuit Babe finally has brought authentic recipes and best coffee to the New Jersey area. Food is packed with flavor and amazing options. The employees were kind, friendly and very thoughtful. A total vibe from beginning to end when I visited. I will be back tomorrow ! read more

As a first day opening I completely understand getting into the groove of things and having the right amount of help. Which is why I want to say thank you to the owner and employees for doing the best they could do today. I know people hold high standards and expectations but you really never know what you're getting into till you're going through it. I think the place is cute and cozy, I like the biscuit sandwich options as well and really like that they have their own coffee brew. Definitely will return. read more
