Three thirds, please be aware JC is not known for their food but are known for their thousands of cool cafes! There is no reason to come to an establishment, with my husband and child, not be greeted, wait for 8 minutes at the register, and not even a "I'll be with ya in second". Literally, this barista was struggling with one person at the cafe. Please close down. You're so lame. There's literally 6 others down the block with the same vibes and actual service. You're not that special. I would even prefer coffee from a stagnant Starbucks versus this place. Also that bakery is stale. Baby just throw it out before you get someone the hanta.

Walkable towards the light rail station in WestSide and located in a quiet neighborhood/blocks of buildings. There is a public parking lot across the street. Inside is spacious, minimalist but comfortable. Service is friendly and fast. Would recommend to friends!

Call Me Mia was my third and final coffee shop stop during a weekend in Jersey City, and it was a…read moresolid way to end the trip! I ordered the Iced Vanilla Protein Cold Brew, and my mom went with the French Velvet Latte (lavender and vanilla). Both drinks were delicious and well-balanced. The French Velvet in particular had a lovely floral flavor without being overpowering. My only complaint is that it felt a bit small for the price. Our group also picked up a few croissants, and everyone enjoyed them. They leaned more sweet than savory, which isn't usually my preference, but they were still tasty. The drink menu offers plenty of variety, though the pastry selection is fairly limited, and the pastries aren't baked in-house. The real standout here is the vibe. Call Me Mia is quaint but incredibly chic. The decor feels thoughtfully curated, with vintage telephones displayed in elegant frames, antique teapots, moka pots, and other charming touches throughout the space. It feels cozy, stylish, and very Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. As for service, the barista was efficient and knew what he was doing, but he came across as a bit short and matter-of-fact. Not rude, just not particularly warm or welcoming. Still, the drinks were excellent, so he definitely delivered where it mattered most. Overall, I'd happily stop back for another coffee and to soak in the beautiful atmosphere. If you're looking for a stylish coffee shop with creative drinks, Call Me Mia is worth a visit.

The kids' play area is a fantastic touch for families, and the staff couldn't be more friendly or hospitable. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners during one of our visits, and they were wonderful. Everything we tried was excellent, including the hot chocolate, vanilla protein cold brew, and the cappuccino. I also really enjoyed the croissant, and the rest of the baked goods looked just as tempting. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Super cute new coffee spot on the west side. The barista was friendly. As you can see by the…read morephotos, the decor is adorable. I ordered a matcha latte. It tasted great but it was way too hot. I burned my tongue, that's how hot. I couldn't take another sip for a while until it cooled down, then it was really good. So just something to be aware of. The other disappointing thing was they have pastries on the menu so I went to order one but the barista said they actually didn't have any available. So I ended up having to go somewhere else for that. I'm still giving this business 4 stars though. I know they're new, and every new business deserves time to work out the kinks!

Stumbled across this place and I'm so glad I did! They're a coffee shop with pastries and boba drinks available. The shop is a little small with a little bit of bench seating and one table, but it works. I decided to go with an ube infused latte which was good. I didn't think the ube flavor was too strong but I did order another add shot of espresso which might've overpowered the ube flavor. Also, I really appreciated how the barista asked if our drinks were sweet enough before we left the shop. Amazing customer service!! I would stop by again for another drink if I'm in the area.

Which today in April was carrot cake. I got one of those and a classic and lucky charms matcha to try.

Perfect sweetness levels. I'll be back once a month to try their new cinnamon roll!

I thought it was odd that they had the rolls already packaged in containers. I expected the roll to be soft and warm. It was neither. It just didn't have enough of a cinnamon and yeast flavor. The cream cheese frosting was excellent....not overly sweet and intense cream cheese flavor. I also had the cereal milk latte. Good, but not great. Service was excellent...very friendly and welcoming. It also is a cute coffee shop. I would go back-just not for the cinnamon roll!

Barista and cashier were incredibly patient and friendly. They helped create a nice atmosphere. So good we were back 4 days in a row.

The ube latte is also exceptional: smooth, creamy, not too sweet, and rich with ube flavor. The ube cookie is a must-try. It's packed with a rich ube flavor and has a wonderful chewy texture without being overly sweet. The ube cinnamon roll is the standout item on the menu: soft, moist, and bursting with rich ube and cinnamon flavor. Their cold brew is strong and solid, making it the perfect companion to their delicious sweets.

Please note, the pictures on Yelp are of their 2nd Street location. This one on Beacon Way was particularly difficult to find since Maps didn't navigate us to the front and this is actually in The Beacon apartment complex. We had to ask someone walking by to open the gate door for us, otherwise there's no way to get in. The Beacon Way location is very small; they occupy a small corner of the lobby. The Honey Lavender Latte was decent. There was a lot of lavender flavor which I appreciated, added sweetness from the honey, and boldness from the espresso. Not the best I've had but it did the job. Decent try but I would love to check out their 2nd Street location since it seems more spacious and proper.

A kind stranger opened it for us otherwise we may not have been able to get it. Careful with where Google maps routes you to, it routed us to the read of the building and so we had to drive around.

The shop has a few tables, good for folks that are looking for a place to do work, and it overall just has a really nice ambiance.

I visit a few times a week and it's become my new coffee spot. This is a no tipping establishment, and their coffee prices are well priced. 10/10!

When I was there in person I got another order of the takoyaki too. I'd like to go back try the soft serve options soon. It's a nice cafe that would be a cute setting for a date or to study and work. If you have a chance to visit in person definitely do. There's a lot of attention to detail even right down to the packaging and food as well which is most important. The delicious food and ambiance will keep me coming back when in the area. If they can keep it tasting the same I'll keep ordering for take out as well. The cafe has beautiful interiors and even the take out containers are very beautiful and colorful. It feels like a passion project. You can tell they paid a lot of attention to the branding. I like the purple and would keep the take out bag even. The cup sleeves are cute and colorful, it might take a lot to print all the colors though so maybe that can be kept to its essence. I would say keep up the standards for the food and drinks, I'd come back for more because of it. simple stuff like sleeve can probably be simplified to its essence. I'm not sure what the costs are for something like that for the business but I'd probably invest in the food. I only say that because I'd like it to stay around longer and it is a nice addition to the area. Having a small business is not easy.. especially service, so props to every business owner in it. when I was there last in person the staff were really nice as well. Hope more people can discover this lovely cafe and enjoy!
