    Seriously good mocha latte and banana bread. If you're looking for a cozy local gem, this is it.

    Nice decor

    Stumbled upon this little coffee shop while out for a walk. The name fits it perfectly because it's little and it's nestled in the middle of the block. It's easy to miss. It's a small cozy coffee shop with one or two seats in the back and two seats at the window. Definitely not a place for a group to sit. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk. It was very good. Good quality coffee. They had some small pastries there as well. There was one barista and he was very nice and inviting. The shop is a good place to stop in on a morning stroll and if you can get one of the seats it's probably good to bring a book since it's a quiet space.

    Medium Iced Oat Lavender Cold Brew (~$5)

    Ordered: Medium Cold Brew (~$5): with lavender and a splash of oat milk (+50¢) Aya's take: Small coffee shop with your typical cafe menu. I opted for the Cold Brew today with Lavender syrup. I love floral flavors and the lavender really balanced out the bitterness of the cold brew. It could've used a bit more oat milk to make it smoother. I got the caffeine kick I wanted and was nice to sip on for the time being.

    Cool space. Customer service was great ambience was small but decent. Nice little coffee shop if you're looking for something in the area. Coffee was typical but good.

    If you like supporting local small businesses, may I suggest The Little Local coffee cafe? This spot is so under the radar but anyone who likes quaint coffee shops would love the vibe, service and the beverages. There is some cozy seating in the back but true to their word, the space is little.

    Cute unassuming coffee shop. Coffee was ok, the service was great. They have very limited space but the layout is very cute.

    I'm kind of sad to give this rating, but I didn't have the best experience here - it's a small coffee shop that's easy to miss, and I walked in with high expectations since I read good reviews before and wanted to try a new coffee spot in Hoboken. However, there was only one person working there and the espresso machine stopped working. The barista was very nice and offered to make me another drink but it took quite a while. If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't come back here compared to other places in Hoboken but it's reasonably priced.

    Chai tea!

    Such a cute little hidden gem! I tried their matcha latte and chai tea latte, both were great. What really hit the spot was their caramel dark choc sea salt pastry- a must try They have a few chairs to sit outside, and the young lady that works there is very helpful to arrange seating. Will definitely be coming back :)

    AMAZING! Thank you to The Little Local for being such a hidden gem in Hoboken! I loved my experience here. I am not a coffee drinker so I was excited to be recommended a non-coffee option featuring turmeric, oat milk and agave. It was so delicious. Wish I lived in the area so I could get this weekly. Definitely a must-stop!

    The most watered down cold brew I've had in years. Had to find another coffee shop immediately after.

    I have never seen anything quite like Aux Merveilleux de Fred. What an absolute delight! Not only…read moreare the desserts incredible, but the employees were so friendly and pleasant to deal with as well. The star of the show is, of course, the Merveilleux. It's made with light, airy meringue and whipped cream, then covered in chocolate shavings. It somehow manages to be rich and delicate at the same time. I can see why it's their signature dessert. They offer different flavors and sizes too, from mini versions to larger cakes that are perfect for sharing. One of the coolest parts of visiting is that the kitchen is completely open. You can watch the pastry chefs assembling these beautiful creations right in front of you. It's mesmerizing and makes the whole experience feel special. The bakery has roots in Northern France and Belgium, where the Merveilleux originated, but pastry chef Frédéric Vaucamps reinvented the classic recipe to make it lighter and more modern. Whatever he did worked because these pastries are unforgettable. A quick tip: cash only, so come prepared. Honestly, if you're anywhere nearby, I think you need to run there. Between the amazing desserts, the friendly staff, and the chance to watch everything being made fresh, it's one of the most enjoyable bakery experiences I've had in a long time. I know you won't be sorry!

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a tiny, beautifully fragrant shop on 8th Ave. I ordered the cold brew black and it was one of the smoothest, most satisfying first cups of the day I've had in a long time. Finding genuinely good black cold brew in this city is harder than it should be, and this one hit the spot so perfectly I made a second solo trip before sundown. The chocolate and almond croissant was delicate, flaky, and exactly what a croissant should be. The shop itself is small, no indoor seating, but two benches out front! The staff was warm and the whole place smells incredible the moment you walk in. I've already earmarked the Cramique for my next visit, because if it's anywhere near as good as everything else, I'm in trouble. Do yourself a favor and stop in!

I got an iced banana split latte, and it was absolutely delicious! Was not excessively sweet- you could actually taste the coffee too, which is important to me! I also got this super yummy buttery croissant (don't remember the name) with pecorino romano cheese and mozzarella. It's set up like an open faced sandwich- which I liked and it made it easy to cut and eat with minimal mess- unlike when it's put together like a sandwich and those yummy flakes go EVERYWHERE- when you are dressed up, this makes a difference! I liked that you can stand outside and order or go inside. It's charming and has an old time sophistication inside. They also have a few outdoor seats. There was the slightest wait- so maybe bear that in mind if you are rushed and can't be patient- but a little wait for high quality food and drinks is well worth it! Those things take time. Definitely plan to visit again!

Though the dispense was out of soap. Great experience overall!
