I am very happy to have finally had a chance to try Griot! The café is spacious and very welcoming…read moreand comfortable, with good music playing and friendly service. My husband and I each ordered a Griot sandwich which is served with plantain (think a large tostone) in place of bread. I ordered mine with pork and an added egg on top, my husband ordered his with chicken and added bacon. Both were delicious, the kind of meal that leaves you entirely satisfied afterward, but I think we would both give the edge to the pork! Despite being fully satisfied with the sandwich, I finished the meal off with the beignets covered in chocolate sauce. It was a perfect dessert and well worth the calories. My husband also really enjoyed the fresh juice that he got, I don't remember exactly what it was, but it had beets in it. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're in the area!

Unfortunately i never…read morereceived the sandwich instead i was sent a sandwich on a brioche roll with eggs, potatoes, pico de gallo , onions and guacamole. Not only did i not order that, it was literally disgusting and sloppy. Would never order from here again. When calling to get this fixed they recommended I place another order so they can fix it and refund me after. No thanks! There's a bunch of places in Jersey city so look the other way before trying this place!

Spacious cafe serving staple brunch options (avocado toast, french toast, omelettes, wraps, salad,…read moreetc.). The food was all ok - nothing stellar and nothing bad. Pastries are on the pricy side. Ones with filling like the pistachio croissant are pretty heavy so it might be better to take it to go instead of eating it all in one sitting there. Service is odd - and by that I mean you come in, grab a table, scan the QR code, go up to the bar to order, and then they'll bring the food over to you. We noticed our drinks were sitting at the bar and had to go and get those ourselves, but I'm not sure if that's the norm. IMPORTANT: Their coffee-based drinks (aka lattes) contain 4 shots of espresso! If you are sensitive to caffeine, you can ask them to put in only 2 shots.

The service was amazing. Staff were very welcoming, pleasant and accommodating of our request…read more The food was amazing and what better the portion was big. I had the Sunny Side up Burger and Truffle fried substituted in and it was amazing. My favorite was the Dubai Chocolate French Toast as the Knafe was still very crunchy and gives it another layer of texture. The dish itself was not overly sweet which is a plus. My wife had the Omelette and the flavors were great everything worked well together. The Home fries that came with her food were sweet but worked very well for such a savory dish. My sister had the Avocado Toast and it was great from the bite she shared with me. Sister in law ordered a grilled cheese and tomato soup. I greatly enjoyed the portion she shared with me. I love the flavor of the soup on the Grilled Cheese. I ordered the Nitro with half and half on the side with vanilla syrup and it tasted great and not too sweet again. I love the restaurant decor as it is very modern and welcoming due to its large open space.

I've never been inside this establishment, but I've ordered through delivery services a few times…read more One of my favorite things about this place is they are CONSISTENT! I get the same two sandwiches generally, the LSP and the big Johnson (with turkey sausage instead of bacon). I fell in love with the pastrami in the LSP, it's just a really good rounded sandwich. Perfect egg on top with the yolk running (if you like that), arugula, chipotle mayo, and a good amount of pastrami. It's a well rounded sandwich and I am a huge fan! Love the pretzel bun on the big Johnson, but I think the LSP has way more flavor. Since I like the pastrami so much, last week I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich and it was okay, not bad, but the balanced flavors in the LSP make that sandwich top tier! Wouldn't get the hot pastrami again. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of half/half and vanilla syrup and it was good! I am not usually a fan of cold brew at all, but it was so good I ordered it back to back AND made sure to get ingredients to attempt to make it at home this week (didn't quite work) so I guess I'll be making an order soon. I don't have any pics, this is a place I order from when my hunger has defeated all odds (meaning no time for picture taking lol) and I KNOW they won't disappoint! Quick service too!

Eggs Up is one of those places that just makes your day better without trying too hard. It's right…read moredownstairs from me, which is already a win, but honestly I'd go out of my way for it anyway. The food hits every time, the coffee is legit, actually good, and the vibe is exactly what you want in the morning. You've got neighbors catching up, regulars posted up, and a mix of people coming through, from police and transit folks to construction crews, and everyone gets the same warm, friendly treatment. Marina is awesome, and the whole team just gets it. There's a genuine, easygoing energy where you can grab your food and go or hang for a bit and chat. It never feels rushed and never feels forced. It's convenient, it's welcoming, and it's consistently great. Exactly the kind of place every neighborhood wishes it had.

The only issue is that people take up the seats very quickly so if you want to sit down, you have to get there early or wait I also think it's a little expensive but it's on par with everywhere else in Jersey City

I would've loved to see them use a higher quality ceremonial grade matcha at this price point that is stored and utilized correctly and I'm sure it would help this place flourish!! their homemade syrups are delicious which are much appreciated but probably better enjoyed in coffee here.

Came here on a Friday morning for a nice and relaxing breakfast while responding to some emails…read more Unlike the weekend crowd, it was quite quiet and mostly filled with a few students, families with young kids, and remote workers like me. The inside is nice and bright so it offers a great start to your morning. Also, the wifi is pretty good so no issues from a work perspective. I ordered an avocado toast along with a cold brew. This has somewhat been a routine of mine since moving here and I haven't really been disappointed anywhere I've gone. This was no different. Loved the picked onion addition too. Now - the pricing is not necessarily breakfast pricing. Expect to spend around $20 for both a breakfast item and coffee like I did. But if you have the means to do so, then you might as well.

I visited on Christmas and ordered egg benedict and beetroot latte. I found a green bug that looks…read morelike a stink bug dead, upside down, fully intact of every part in veggies in egg benedict. I took it to the counter and showed it to them. The server asked if it was alive or dead when I found them. I told him it was dead and looked steamed....like it matters... Long story short I asked for refund but they said they have to ask their manager who's not coming back that day since it is holiday and I would need to wait until next day for refund so I end up getting a cheesecake instead. The cheesecake tasted little sour so initially I thought it went bad. Also it tasted like it's been sitting in the fridge for a long time. You know when you taste fridge smell from the food. I lost sanitation of their food and will not recommend it to anyone

The service is always great, they have you order at the counter and then bring the food over to where you're sitting. Everyone is always so kind & the owner even greeted and checked in on us while we were eating. Also the music playlist here is so good! It's like they have my entire Spotify wrapped on shuffle lol. There's a lot of indie rock/alternative music playing. I always get a turkey club or a avocado toast, but their entire menu is great (including the coffee, bubble tea, and their deserts)

We ordered the asparagus, goat cheese, and herb omelet, tofu scramble, mexi bowl, ricotta pancake with blueberry compote, coffee, and a mocha latte. Gorgonzola fries were our least favorite. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. Service was quick and friendly, which added to the overall positive vibe. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and looking for a peaceful spot with good food and easygoing service.

Our drinks were 3/5, the quality was decent but nothing that I would crave again. On the other hand, the food was super good and fresh! Definitely come here if you're looking for something light. The huevos rancheros were basic, but the buffalo cauliflower wings were so flavorful and yummy. The quinoa wrap was super fresh, and would definitely recommend to add an egg! Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow even though we were one of few tables here and my friends meal came out probably 15 minutes after everyone else was done with theirs. However he loveeeeed the Cilbir eggs and gave them 5/5. Would come again if I was looking for something non-greasy and refreshing after a week of heavy NYC eats!
