We're visiting friends in Jersey City this weekend and wanted a walkable coffee shop - this place…read morewas just around the corner and we're so glad we popped in! The store is bright and sunny with lots of windows and plants everywhere. The staff were nice and made a solid recommendation for my latte. I ended up ordering a Dulce de Leche iced latte, and my husband got an iced caramel latte! If you find yourself in the area, swing through! The coffee is tasty and the flavors are strong! There's also a board game section if you're looking to spend some time inside :)

A cozy cafe off of the hustle and bustle of JFK Blvd. The cafe is walkable, located on Cottage…read more(just a 100 ft off of the boulevard). I was warmly greeted when I entered and allowed time to review the menu. There were 4 other people in the cafe working and waiting for their order. I ordered the Feta-Avocado Toast without papitas (pumpkin seeds). I thoroughly enjoyed the avo toast. The feta was supremely creamy, almost as though it had been whipped. The acidity in the tomatoes was cut by the sweetness of the balsamic drizzle. The white toast was sizeable and firm. I am looking forward to returning and trying other items, especially the handcrafted beverages.

Sometimes it's hard to find a seat because it gets crowded, but that's just me, because you can meet new people or run into old friends.

Dropped by this local coffee spot on a cold weekend, and it instantly felt like stepping into a…read morewarm hug. The place is cozy, artsy, and so relaxing I ended up sitting there way longer than planned. Tried their cappuccino (served in those charming traditional mugs) along with a cream cheese bagel and avocado toast -- all really good! Loved seeing people sipping coffee, working on laptops, and even playing board games. Quick service, great vibe, and the kind of spot that makes you want to support local -- one cappuccino at a time.

Alyce was a true 10/10 experience.

My entree was shrimp and grits which was also delicious, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and there was a poached egg on top which always makes everything better. I got to pick a type of bread to go along with the meal and was about to choose sourdough until the server mentioned the option of a fresh baked biscuit! Bonus - it was served with butter and house made jam. My husband got the mojo chicken which was also very good, especially the black bean puree. We also wanted to try the crispy bacon fried rice (which also came with an egg!) and it was something we'd definitely order again. Last but not least, the service was amazing! Can't wait to try their dinner menu.

Everyone was asked how the food was and service except for our table which consisted of two black women, this was the man in the instagram Videos he completely ignored us .

I will never return here my money is best spent somewhere else.

I've now officially visited all three Modcup locations, and I love how each one has its own unique…read morecharacter. The main spot in Journal Square is particularly charming. It's so cute and cozy, making it the perfect place to actually sit and enjoy a cup. Their coffee definitely lives up to the hype; the house drip I had was robust and incredibly flavorful, easily some of the best in the area. I enjoyed it so much that I even grabbed a bag of beans to brew at home. It's clear why this place gets so much praise, as the quality is consistent across the board. Whether you're stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or looking for a spot to linger, Modcup is a must-visit for anyone who takes their coffee seriously.

Tried out an unnamed little café on St. Paul's Ave today and it was awesome. It's tucked into the…read morecorner of a classic red-brick building, with a few tables outside that make it perfect for people-watching. I ordered a coconut cold brew and a banana muffin--both hit the spot. The cold brew was smooth and refreshing with just the right touch of coconut, and the muffin was moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The vibe inside was cozy and welcoming, with a mix of neighborhood regulars and people just passing through. Definitely feels like one of those hidden gems you stumble on and want to keep coming back to.

I was impressed by the pour over selection and other variety of drinks. I opted for an almond milk cappuccino. The flavor profile was really good. It was definitely a nice strong cappuccino. The espresso blended in well with the almond milk. They also had some muffins and cookies there which was not in the diet but I got an oatmeal cookie and a pistachio muffin. Both were excellent. A little too big for my liking but they tasted great. The staff was friendly and inviting. It was a little busy but the two baristas made it happen!

We stopped in the Griot Cafe the other day to get out of the cold and enjoy some warm beverages…read more The spacious place was nicely decorated with bright colors and modern, comfortable furniture. There were Afro-Caribbean paintings on the wall that matched the cuisine and heritage of the cafe. The food menu included unique and interesting items like Samosas and Creole dishes that I would love to try on a day when I was more hungry. On the afternoon that I visited, I just stuck with a Matcha Almond Milk Latte, which was probably one of the strongest I had ever had! It was definitely more matcha-heavy than it was milk-focused, but I needed some caffeine to wake me up for an evening event that I was attending, so it all worked out for the best! We sat and enjoyed our drinks in the incredibly relaxing atmosphere. Despite being during the hectic holiday season, we felt no need to rush and could simply sit an enjoy the calm. There was an excellent soundtrack playing great tunes that reinforced that sentiment. It all made for a nice lull in the day before our busy evening, and I would love to go back and try their culinary items next time.

He was running around the whole time and it took quite a while to get our drinks and food. I love the ambience of this place though! They serve coffee and a variety of savory brunch dishes. Apparently they also have pastries but none were available when we went. For my entree I had the cheese omelet, which came with potatoes. I loved the seasoning of the potatoes! They were cooked really well. The omelet was simple but filling. Unfortunately they were out of matcha so I just had a regular tea instead. They do offer some alternative milks for drinks which is nice. With some extra help this place would be great on a busy weekend day, but otherwise expect to be waiting a bit...

Waited just about 5-10 minutes before we got our table…read more Inside, we got entertained by someone may be the owner or someone who's been there for a long while. Alongside my cold brew, I ordered a weekend special, which was the creamy spinach omelette. It was really good. The sourdough bread was also good and not too heavy. My fiancée got the Weekender with vegan sausage. It came out pretty well. The vegan sausage didn't feel like your typical frozen fake meat. The egg whites were a nice touch too. Overall a very satisfying brunch and I'd return again.

Service was generally speaking friendly though the day we went was super busy as there was a running race and it was super packed so the folks working definitely seemed a touch flustered but kudos to them for handling the crowd well. We got the bulgogi sandwich and the tuna sandwich both of which were good though bulgogi would be the one i choose over the other. Nice flavors though and the coffee we got was nice. Cute spot but again we were there on an unusually very busy day so would want to come back on a typical morning to try again. Overall, recommended.
