    Specialty lattes
    Tiffany A.

    What a lovely coffee shop! In town for the weekend and it snowed overnight - we felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. The shop had some seasonal beverages - two of us for a hazelnut maple latte, then a cortado and a normal coffee. The specialty latte was delicious - not overpoweringly sweet. Also I thought the prices were very reasonable! We also got an almond croissant to split and it had a light and delicious airiness to it. The only ding I'll say is the flow of the space - it's a little tight to get through with people in line when you're walking from the back of the shop to the front. Would definitely come back if In the area!

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Hoboken. I love to come here to work, meet with a friend or just grab coffee on the weekend. They have good gluten free pastry options. I came in around 2pm on a Saturday and it was all gone. Come early. I love the calm vibe, friendly staff and nice people in the coffee shop. They also have some music and events in the evening sometimes and a community board that truly helped me with a career transition at some point in my life (a resume miracle worker had posted an ad and I responded). If you haven't been - come on out!

    I walked by this cafe after taking a SoulCycle class nearby. There were a lot of foot traffic when I was there. Most customers were there with their laptops. I enjoyed the hot chocolate that I ordered. The barista who made it was very friendly. The service was fast. I would come back here again to try their coffee.

    Rose honey latte - seasonal

    I've been a regular here for years and love that baristas are sweet and know my order. It's a great place for a quick coffee on the way to work or after the gym. I love that the owners are often there and engage with the customers. My only complaint is that the space gets a bit crowded and slightly hectic during rush times mostly because there are a bunch of regulars sitting by the door right in the area where you wait for your order. Other than that, great spot!

    Lavender cold brew latte

    This is a GREAT spot if you're looking to hunker down and get some work done while sipping on great coffee. This is also a great spot if you are looking to grab and go with a matcha latte, cold brew or a different specialty coffee drink. Anddddd, with all of the additional outdoor seating they have, it's pretty perfect for sitting and hanging out for a bit. They always had a few tables but set up a parklet with a few more seats this past year. I usually get their matcha lattes with added vanilla because they make them super well and there is never any matcha powder clumps. On my last visit, I asked for a recommendation from the barista and ordered the lavender cold brew latte. Delicious! And refreshing and the perfect caffeinated treat. It was sweet and so tasty and I hope they still have it the next time I drop by. The shop is super cute and has plenty of seating. I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and it was filled with people on laptops studying and working. They have shelves and shelves of goods, candles, coffee makers and all things for a trendy home. I did think about getting a fun and wonky looking candle but it was a little outside of my price range. Still, I'll be back for coffees and teas every once and awhile!

    A cozy cafe on Washington St. right in front of Elysian Cafe. Small but heavy traffic .... people in & out ordering coffee. The 3 of us had cortado ... @3.25 ... quite good [But, I definitely prefer the cortado from Frisson @ Hell's Kitchen in the city]. Cortado of bwe was of small portion. Not at all enough for me. I was still craving more.

    Top three reasons why you should make Bwe your staple coffee shop 3. Efficient and friendly service plus nice outdoor dining area with really short waiting time for tables 2. I thought their lattes were rich and yummy and then I tried their Genmaicha tea with oat milk - heaven! 1. Prime dog-petting area with a lot of neighborhood puppers on stroll

    I loved this location! The flower shop selection was a bit small but the cafe portion was really nice. There is plenty of seating inside and good wifi connection. I also loved the variety of seating: couch for hanging out and long tables for studying. The staff were very friendly and helpful, service is a 10/10.

    I had a wonderful experience with my partner. Place is really nicely decorated and a great stop on that hot day We got the lavender lemonade and chai latte. I've tried a lot of floral based drinks (rose/lavender etc.) where the flower tasted way too strong, but their lemonade was really good and well balanced. Would definitely suggest, the lavender gave it a nice colour and bitterness to balance it out. Chai latte was really good, not as iconic as their lemonade but it really good. If you want a small kick without coffee I'd definitely recommend it.

    Some of the best coffee I could get here in Hoboken, though the price could definitely be better. Line goes by fast.

    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!

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!

The staff is all very nice and the food comes out quickly. portion sizes are decent for lunch items and things like french toast are above average. I liked that they used real tableware that had some weight to it as opposed to plastic, we accidentally knocked over a glass as we were leaving and it hit the ground but didn't break so that was a big relief but it makes the dining experience feel like more thought was put into it when even the table ware is of good quality. Overall it seems like a place that will be around for a long time, and you should definitely visit if you're in the area.

Very small space, so you'll be squeezed tightly with your neighbors. Come here after the brunch rush, after 1:30pm, to get a seat. Otherwise, there's always a wait. Quick, efficient service. Menu is small, simple, but everything is tasty and you can't go wrong with any option. $24 big banter Breakfast was a healthy combo of filling ingredients. Good to share between two people or take leftovers home. $18 avocado toast + $3 egg was tasty, filling and healthy. Pretty presentation. $6 hot matcha was disappointing. Very bland and watered down. Tasted only milk, no matcha, which was sad.
