Wonderful little coffee nook inside CoolVines. I was looking for coffee at 7 pm and didn't want Starbucks or Dunkin'. Butler came in clutch! The woman helping me was friendly as can be, and the americano I ordered was spot on. There was some seating available, if you needed it, and their menu boasted all the traditional drinks (matcha included!). Check 'em out! read more

Beginning in May, Butler Cafe will begin charging $0.50 if you do not bring your own cup to purchase their coffee. HAVE YOU LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY OR DO WE NOT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE BOTTOM LINES IN 2026? There's practically a new coffee shop opening up in Jersey city every month. Where do we get such an absurd idea. This isn't the using reuseable bags at the grocery store model, these are fundamentals, if you're going to pass the cost of cups because we can't do math in 2026, you won't be lasting much longer. Thank you for the last 3 years of a great experience , especially at the grove st coffee cart. Best of luck. You lost another customer. read more

I ordered a vanilla latte here. Service was quick but latte was okayish. It lacked flavor and was too watery for my taste.

The coffee was normal, nothing exceptional. We ordered a latte but the guy made a cappuccino by mistake. So, I'm not impressed with the service. The ambiance was decent and there's lots of seating area! read more

Really got to give these folks a signal boost. This is a very nice cafe a short walk from the Metro Plaza and a must stop for anyone interested in great coffee and a mid-high end grocery run. Their coffee is quite bold and well priced for a more craft coffee experienced. It is a HUGE plus that they are open til 8PM. They also sell their beans by the bag and will grind them how you wish (little pricey, but worth it). The other 3/4 of the space is used by a shopping mart, with most of it being used for great wines and liquor. Every type of wine you'd like, they have it, as well as the foreign specialties. It's a real treat to see. Exceptional note to their "groceries". They focus on high end products that are a bit harder to get outside of a Whole Foods. If you like truffle and foie gras, stop here. Overall, nice find and a good place to hang on an evening before dinner. read more

Good coffee, meh service. I came in on a Sunday afternoon to knock out some work while enjoying a cup of coffee. I ordered an iced caramel latte and Juan Dulce cookie. Both the cookie and coffee were very good, but also kind of pricy (~$7 for an iced latte). There are many places in JC with coffee equally as good if not better at a more reasonable price point. If you are just looking for a quality coffee pick me up, I'd try somewhere else. The real stand out factor of Butler cafe, in my opinion, is its indoor seating area. It is surprisingly one of the only cafes in my nook of JC that has and is open for indoor seating. The cafe area was also empty and quiet - perfect if you are trying to get some work done. $7 for a quiet, secluded work space is not so bad. They also have a bunch of board games available to play which I thought was a fun idea. The biggest negative and primary reason for 3 stars was the service. Since it was my first time here, I had some questions on the menu which the barista could not be bothered with since he responded with short, curt answers. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but came off super rude. It was also kind of weird that none of the staff knew the password for the free wifi...luckily they were able to figure it out before I left. *responding to owner* The $7 was based on what my friend who accompanied me ordered. She had an iced vanilla latte (no milk substitute) and no cookie. What's more concerning is that she may have been overcharged then. read more

Butler Café - Latte (iced, caramel) and Juan Dulce chocolate walnut cookie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Good cappuccino. This is a small cafe inside of Cool Vines offering a straightforward coffee menu and some pastries. Most people grab drinks to-go, but there are a few small tables if you wanted to sit down here. read more

It's a small place with Cool vines next to it- my personal fav spot for coffee. Excellent Lattes and a great place to catch up with my girlfriends while playing board games and having a chat with the barista. Great service with a beautiful smile I asked a lot of questions about the coffee they use and I was given all the answers with a lovely smile back from the Barista. I highly recommend this place in my neighborhood read more

New to area and decided to walk down a side street instead of up Christopher Columbus.. definitely worth the new route..stumbled upon Cool Vines and found this little cafe inside..like that you can sit inside with window views for a quick latte..will be back to try cold brew which I saw someone else order that looks good too!! Friendly barista ..real chill vibes read more

Butler Café - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Aesthetically, this is a really lovely place to meet a friend for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Think exposed brick, old timber and cool concrete floors. They have a legit espresso machine and an excellent curation of chocolates. I'm not giving 5 stars because they don't quite have the outlet situation sorted and they don't have enough customers yet to have a good non-pastry fresh food assortment. Otherwise really relaxing and pleasant cafe to work in. read more

Disgusting. Too bad this is the only coffee shop open late in NJ. It's inside of a wine shop on the right hand side. Literally walked into the shop 7 minutes before closing because I had a long drive and needed a pick me up. Instead of a hello how are you from the guy behind the counter, I get um you know we close in 7 minutes. No really sir?? Lol. Anyway, I opted to try a vanilla or caramel (can't recall) latte as I figured the coffee was probably cold and waiting to be poured out shortly. Whatever syrup they use is awful. Very fake tasting and waaayyy too sweet. The espresso was just eh as well. read more

I stopped here for a coffee after walking around the city with my camera all day. I was greeted by the world's friendliest dog, Roscoe. He belonged to a guest there. Coffee was delicious and the look of this place is very nice and neat and inviting. I would definitely go back in the future. read more

Wonderful place to hang out and have some good coffee. And the places has interesting games to play if interested, a wide variety of craft beers and food. Friendly staff tops it off - the service was great. They will even cool your beer while you are having your coffee. It's a go to if you're in the area. read more

My first coffee with a friend during quarantine! Happy that this place is a bit isolated so I didn't have to worry about too many people being around. I also appreciated all the signs they had up informing people to wear masks - barista also had a mask on. Love that the cafe is combined with Cool Vines so half the area is dedicated to wine/liquor. I got the vanilla iced latte and a chocolate croissant for $8.50. Normal prices, normal items. Iced coffee was a great relief on such a hot day! I'd come back for coffee here just because it's a large space and never typically crowded read more

Cafe inside Cool Vines at Morgan st. Super cute, delish cappuccino and sweetest barista! Loved the biscoff cookie with the coffee and looking forward to tasting some tasty treats from Chocopain on a not so busy day. read more

Perfect cafe down the street inside of CoolVines which I come to weekly or more. Loved the coffee and espresso bean selection at the cafe and they will even grind the beans for you if you have a typical coffee maker at home. Have never been disappointed with the selection that they have. Have also gotten croissants here for a quick breakfast on the weekend. read more

The only thing that slaps harder than Muji's jokes at the crack of dawn are his lattes. Whether or not Butler serves the best coffee in Williamsburg may be a point of contention, but if you're grabbing a cup as a reprieve from solitude, Muji is your guy. read more

Coffee was not bad but service was terribly disappointing. They serve great coffee, a smooth, pleasant cup of coffee, which delivered as expected. But that's about where my experience ended in terms of positives. The barista was pretty rude and not very helpful to customers. When asked a question he responded back with short answers that weren't of any substance. He repeatedly asked us to check the board above our heads for the options, which would have been fine if the menu was clear. The menu was vague in that it only listed prices for some items, and even if you ordered the mentioned items, you were charged a lot more than the board read. I had a flavored latte which was based at 5.50 and 50 cents for the flavor at most, which by basic math is $6. I was charged $7. It was also not clear that vanilla in an latte was going to be 50cents extra while the "caramel" latte was $5.50 inclusive of the flavor. I also ordered with regular milk so it doesn't explain the pricing. The guy was not very clear/ helpful in the pricing either and seemed unbothered in giving any form of customer service. Honestly, not very pleased with the experience and not likely to return which is disappointing because I would have liked to have a cute sit down spot like this Cafe as a go to. read more

So now we have a dope espresso bar in a modern wine store. Love this concept. And we can sample some local artisinal brews without leaving! Also love the no-laptop policy! Brings back the good old days when people would actually read a book or talk to one another. Oh, and the coffee is legit. read more

The BEST Coffee in Jersey City is located at Butler Cafe inside CoolVines at the Modera building downtown. 40 Weight Coffee from Ithaca roasts them an exquisite blend that brings out the best in REAL coffee. If you want a maple pumpkin syrup infused "coffee" drink this is not the place. If you want a proper espresso, cappuccino, or just grab a robust flavored cup of drip on the way to work this is the place. Fresh pastries delivered daily from local bakeries is a nice touch. Oh and after 10am when CoolVines opens you can enjoy wine or beer in the cafe with NO corking fees. After work I grab some of my favorite craft beers from the store, then the cafe provides me a proper pint glass that I can pour into and start to unwind. Before or after work this is my spot!!!! read more
