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!

The cappuccino was delicious, and he was incredibly kind and generous. The interior and exterior are both adorable, themed with pink and beautiful china. Highly recommend!

Looking for a coffee spot around Hoboken, this place popped up on my Yelp app. It was a yes for me…read moreimmediately when I saw the gorgeous latte artwork. We were greeted warmly by whom I assume is the owner. Since I love pistachio, it was a no brainer for me. As one of my companions is trying to decide, I mumbled under my breath..."the Rose latte is really beautiful." He sighs and says to the barista...okay, I'll have the Rose latte, I'll let her have her picture. I tell the barista that I want it in one of those pretty cup and saucers. I was giddy as a little girl when I got the lattes. Soooo eye-pleasingly beautiful. Most of the Rose latte pics on Yelp has the leaf in white, mine was PINK. I am not a fan of any drinks that taste like a rose. Curious I did take a sip and I was wowed. The rose flavor was very subtle in a wonderful way with the perfect balance of the coffee. I loved my pistachio but decided to switch the rose latte with my companion. It was the best rose lattes I have ever had. They also have homemade treats. Their pistachio baklava is PERFECTION, not too overly sweet. I could eat a dozen of these in one sitting. Limited indoor seating with only 2 tables outside.

Ambiance (5/5): Really nice storefront with both interior and exterior seating. The ambiance is super chill and a great coffee shop for chats or to do some work.

I had a very upsetting experience at this place today…read more I came in with my small elderly dog, who was in a sling and not walking around the restaurant. Instead of treating me respectfully, staff immediately focused on questioning me and demanding "papers" for my service animal in a very aggressive and humiliating way. What made the situation worse was the tone and behavior. I repeatedly tried to explain calmly, but I was spoken to dismissively and made to feel unwelcome in front of other people. I ended up leaving extremely distressed. I know my rights under ADA laws, and businesses should know that employees are not allowed to demand documentation or certification for a service animal. There should be proper staff training on how to handle these situations professionally and respectfully. No customer should be treated this way.

However, in past versions, it felt like an insulated group of regulars, and I was hesitant to go in. However, with this latest re-branding, they are a warm and inviting place (I'm sure they were before too, I just didn't know!). The espresso is still great, and the pastries are wonderful. In particular, their empanadas are the absolute best in the Heights, and they experiment a little with them. This morning I had my usual Bacon & Egg, and also tried their new Prosciutto and Mozzarella, both were fantastic. Also a fan of their Beef & Sweet Plantain one. Grabbing quick breakfast now on my way to work has become part of my daily routine here and I can't believe I lived next to this place for so long and missed out! A great locally owned business that everyone should support!

The baristas are always super sweet, it is never too busy inside and I love perusing the wall of locally made goodies like ceramics, candles, etc. They don't have much seating besides the counter along the front and a couple big comfy chairs in the back, but it is perfect for a quick pop in. Lattes have always been made well and I always look forward to stopping in!
