    Finally got to try black rail on a very cold day. Loved the vibe the music and the coffee. The location isn't the most convenient for me but worth a stop if you're close by! Also there was plenty of space for a large stroller and outdoor space for nicer weather.

    Avocado Toast

    Perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy a pastry. Great location right off the rail. Staff were kind and quick. I'm a brat about my almond croissants and this one is amazing! Avocado toast was incredible. Cold brew was alright. Entire shop was very clean, including restroom. Overall experience 9/10! Will be back:)

    Morning coffee!

    I've started going her more lately and I'm so glad about it. Sandwiches are solid, you can order ahead or call in an order. I've tried the Caprese, Big Tuna and the Fitness wrap. Food is made perfectly and tastes so fresh every time. Pricing is reasonable - also into their iced coffee in the summers!

    Hidden coffee shop right off the 9th and Congress light rail. I just recently saw the shop since I always get off on the other side of station. But saw it today and this shop full of options from coffee to sandwiches to pastries of all kinds. I stopped by post workout on Friday morning and picked up a oat cortado and an ube flavored cookie which was really moist. They also had lots of pastries and Sandwiches and salads to order. I will be back to try more options.

    Healthier sandwich (sooooo delicious, really one of the best sandwiches of my life), comes with popcorners

    The aesthetic of this cafe is ugly and tacky, and the bathroom is dumpy and dirty, but the food tastes great. I had the Chaka Chaka sandwich and a side container of macaroni salad. $19.

    Avocado Toast with salmon, and Iced Latte  Bagel breakfast sandwich and a Chai Latte

    Everything was delicious! Experience was great, was not a far walk from our Airbnb in jersey city. You can also catch the train there when finished, and it will connect you to subway system for NYC.

    I really liked this spot! The sandwiches were really well stacked and they don't cheap out on any of the products. The coffee is a bit overpriced. A simple cold coffee with almond milk ends up running you over $7 dollars so everything really adds up quickly, but it's a great weekend treat-yourself spot

    Caprese Sandwich. With Turkey

    Super cute vibe inside. The drinks were perfect and the sandwiches were LEGIT. I don't live in the area and will be visiting again just for some seconds ! Everything in the sandwich was 100% fresh as can be. Did I mention I had the gluten free bun that did not fall apart ! Totally recommend checking this lace out

    Came into Black Rail Coffee on an extremely cold day and because it was right next to the 9th st lightrail! So convenient! The staff were welcoming once I got inside and it is very nice to see smiling faces before work. I decided to get the hot chocolate with skim milk. I had never tried skim before this and I must say it is delicious. The hot chocolate was not bitter and strong like ones I've had previously. This one was light and chocolatey. The decor is fabulous! There is something to view on every corner and it draws you to stay longer because it's so cozy and cute. I was recommended the chai latte and their sandwiches by a friend so I will definitely be returning for more!

    These chips are delish!

    Really enjoyed this spot for breakfast. We got avocado toast (huge portion and lots of avo), a Turkey sandwich, a bag of Joe's jalapeño chips, a cold brew, and an Ube cookie. Everything was great! Service was wonderful, too. I really enjoyed the vibe inside - all about Biggie and just quaint and cozy. I was full for hours after I finished my toast.

    Feta Avocado Toast
    China D.

    this place is a total delight and is now my goto breakfast spot near the Heights since congress station (RIP) is closed. The food is always fresh and i love how simple everything is here. The english muffin breakfast sammys are so cute and convenient, especially when you arent in the mood for a huge bagel sandwich. The avo toast with feta is the best breakfast/lunch item IMO. All the coffee drinks here are wonderful and my personal fav is their fresh lemonade! Sometimes i pop in just to grab a lemonade. They have a decent amount of seating both indoor and outdoor and its set back from the road so you dont feel like ur sitting on a busy sidewalk like many of the other places in hoboken! The service may get a little slow when they are busy but it is totally worth the wait. This place is very popular for families with young children too

    Avocado Toast with salmon
    Nishtha C.

    This is a very cute cafe in Hoboken. The staff is extremely friendly and nice. The vibe of the place would make you want to visit all the time. The places makes you feel at home. We ordered the avocado toast with salmon, bacon egg and cheese on a croissant, latte and croissant. We will definitely visit again.

    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!

    I came for the pastries and stayed for the cold brew. Then came back for more cold brew later that…read moresame afternoon hehe. 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!
