For years now, BWE in Newport has been our go-to coffee haven. Every single team member is genuinely kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They remember our favorite drinks, and Shana, the manager, fosters a warm, enthusiastic atmosphere. We love the board highlighting their monthly specials! Jess, Will, and the whole barista crew clearly love what they do--and it shows in every sip. The oatmeal is a hidden gem, packed with protein, chia seeds, and fresh fruit. The cheese scone is fantastic, and their matchas are spot-on. As for my partner, he's always thrilled with his light dry cappuccino. We're lucky to have them! PS: Once in a while there are classes here like the coffee one. Check them out! read more

Bwè kafe is a cozy spot in Newport for a quick drink and bite to eat. Visited on a Friday afternoon, and there were many people working remote here - Free wifi, and the password is easily seen by customers! The portion size of the Oat Bowl was huge - The oatmeal itself pretty bland - The portion of toppings was a surprise! A full banana, had to have been half an apple, and lots of walnuts. if you're going to order the Oat Bowl, come hungry! I would not finish it. The matcha latte was just OK - Not the most flavorful. Would definitely give this spot another try and go for a coffee next time read more

One of the best matcha I've ever had, they have their own homemade seasonal flavoring, and I can't get enough of the summer blueberry flavor. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious as well and good for a light breakfast/lunch. I get the tomato mutz and love it! read more

I love the location of this cafe! It was quite packed on a Sunday morning but there was enough movement that we could find a table. The latte was good as well as the cheddar scone and the cutest madelaine. read more

Bwe kafe is a cute coffee shop right by the water in NJ. Came here after a work out class so the coffee was refreshing. It was not the best Iced latte I have had but it did the job. This place is also by a nice park called Newport Green so I am sure people get coffee to go and some snacks and may picnic or take a walk around the park. The staff were nice and the space had a cozy feeling. If I am ever in that area again I would stop by again and try one of their specialty coffees. read more

The staff is friendly, the place has a nice open setting with windows galore, and the treats there are delicious!

A decent coffee shop in Jersey City. The closest to the local park and Waters Soul statue on the Hudson Nothing special Good coffee and didn't see anything special they were offering. Not much seating. Really a grab and go with internet read more

Most awesome flat white with just warm enough microfoam and balance. Interesting espresso blend includes beans from Haiti. Dan is also pretty cool--spend time that with his thoughts on coffee and go away with more appreciation of the cup you are drinking. read more

bwe in Hoboken has always been a favorite. The space is CUTE and the coffee is GOOD! You need little else in a neighborhood cafe and this Jersey City loc is no different. I stopped in for a quick lunch and can confirm the space is just as adorable, cozy and welcoming. Lots of seating so it's perfect for working or grabbing a coffee or lunch on your own or with friends. Oh! And everyone working there was lovely and helpful. Vibes are great all around. I got the couscous salad bowl and added grilled chicken. Loved that it came with a very generous olive bread on the side. The bread was fresh and I loved the olive spread. The salad was delicious and oh so filling. It came with a soft boiled egg, a bed of greens, only a sprinkling of couscous, walnuts, feta, cherry tomatoes and the olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. I do wish that the salad lived up to its name just a little more with a bigger portion of couscous because it wasn't as expected, but still very tasty. A great lunch and I will definitely stop in next time I am bopping around the area and need a bite to eat or a coffee fix. read more

Cute cafe with good hours and drinks. They have outdoor and indoor seating. It's good to work at or just meet friends at. The baristas have always been kind. It's a neighborhood staple for a reason. read more

The espresso and cold brew have been great for years. Don't know much about the food, but when I mentioned that I wanted something fast that wasn't a scone, they directed me to the Bwekfast sandwich, a fine choice. The service is always great. Bwe Kafe was historic for me. Pre-Covid, I returned to the open mic scene here after more than 20 years away. Hopefully my Andy Kaufman-esque "anti-comedy" didn't single-handedly destroy the event, as the open mic is back but run by the Guitar Den with more of a pure music emphasis. (Who would have thought that impersonating my co-worker in the form of a hypothetical review of the little-seen Linklater movie Everybody Wants Some would fail to inspire guffaws?) read more

Considering that there are only two restaurants in this area, I stopped by skeptical but was pleasantly impressed! First, the service is wonderful and fast! We got the avocado toast and the avocado and tuna sandwich, and they were both super fresh with plentiful avocado on delicious bread. Indoor seating was cute with available outdoor seating. There aren't too many "kid friendly" options, which could be helpful in the future since there is a playground near by, and as long as the quality remains the same as what I ate, I'd come back again! read more

Came here couple times on weekday morning. Seems quite popular among locals. Usually busy and needs short wait on queue to order. Environment is nice. Plenty of seats or tables. Came here Monday and was told kitchen not open Monday so only pastries for breakfast. Came again following day and got smoked salmon sandwich. Quite big and good. Latte/espresso drinks are good here too. Nice place for breakfast. read more

Unpopular opinion, but I did not like my coffee at all. This was the first time I actually threw out my coffee without finishing it - because I just could not finish it, it was so bad. I ordered a cold brew and it was so bitter and it just tasted old and stale. I'm not even sure how to properly describe it, but it just tasted bad. And trust me, I've had coffee all over Latin America and Europe - this was just bad. Staff were nice and friendly though, but I'm not sure I'm venturing back for the coffee. read more

We ordered the couscous bowl and although it was a solid meal, it definitely could have been better. The balsamic vinaigrette flavors didn't come through and wished that there was something sweet to cut through the mellow flavors of walnut and couscous--either dried cherries or cranberries. I'm not a huge fan of olives, so I'm not going to give my opinion other than it was really strong and my friend felt that the bread didn't have much flavor. The smoked salmon toast with egg salad was actually pretty delish. And the country bread was tasty--definitely would come back if I lived in the city for the variety of toasts. I ordered the vegan turmeric latte and it honestly tasted a little too milky for me without enough flavor, and wished there were more sediments at the bottom. read more

The baked goods are fantastic! Cannot wait to try more options from here. I placed my order on GrubHub and it was ready when I arrived. Heads up the pick up orders are just inside the door. I waited a few minutes on the other side of the room before somebody told me where to go. The line gets in the way, but just poke your walk through. Was on the fence about the breakfast sandwich until I tried it. The crispy layers of croissant go perfectly with the eggs and cheese. And then there's the sriracha sauce...that seals the deal. The couscous salad is pretty good. It's a nice mix of flavor, however, I was expecting the feta to standout a bit more. The real gem of this salad is the phenomenal crispy toast with olive tapenade. read more

Good casual coffee spot. Really small inside so I usually take it on the go, but Baristas are nice and flavors are usually good.

this cafe is amazing!! i got the iced vanilla latte and it is so good -- one of the best lattes I've tried. They have the La Marzocco espresso machine! The ambiance is so nice to get work done and the seating is super cute and comfortable. The prices are extremely reasonable esp for the location -- $4.75 for small Iced latte and $5.25 for large plus $0.75 for flavors. It is even less than prices of popular coffee chains(and tastes better!!!) One of the best cafes I've been to recently!! Highly recommend! read more

Lovely! Had this place bookmarked for some time now due to the high ratings and I'm glad to add in another 5 star review. Interior is small and quaint. More of a grab and go place.

Came here for the first time during covid times. All the staff and patron adhered to covid regulations. I picked up the following: Honey ricotta basil toast: SO delicious, ricotta is whipped into a creamy, homogenous texture and laid on thick over the toast. Which had a crunchy crust and soft, chewy center which is my favorite. The combination of ricotta, honey and basil was delicious. Smoked salmon toast: came with a bed of mixed greens and egg salad. This combination was super tasty. Same bread that was with the ricotta toast. Delicious! Match latte: sweetened and with oat milk. I could have enjoyed a slightly stronger match flavor but overall really enjoyed this drink! Would definitely come back again read more

Discovered this place after moving to Newport. It really is such a perfect little neighborhood café. I like that they have interesting blends like Japanese cold brew. The (I think) manager Dan is really friendly and made an effort to learn my name and order on my first few visits. My go-to is an iced caramel latte which is so good! At the time of me writing this, there is no indoor seating, which is a bit sad since the interior is so extremely well designed! There's even a corner with a breathtaking view of the Hudson and Manhattan. But the outdoor seating is still great, and you can get those same stunning views while doing WFH or just relaxing. The wifi I would say is the only weak spot about this place though. I did a speed test and it was about 600kb/second download speed, which is pretty bad. So I just use my hotspot when I come here. Thankfully they have a gender neutral bathroom, which is always nice. After moving here this has became my go-to spot! read more

Cute little coffee shop in Jersey City! We went to bwè kafe to satisfy our morning craving of a good cup of latte and some pastries, and not their lattes were so good! I ordered an Oat Milk Latte and my boyfriend ordered a Caramel Latte and I have to say the coffee they use tastes so smooth; we simply loved it. I would say, even if you don't have any dairy restrictions, try the Oat Latte once, it enhances the flavor altogether and you're gonna love it! Since bother of us are PB&J lovers so the moment we saw they had some baked PB&J Breakfast Bars, we had to order them. And we simply loved how they tasted. Perfectly baked bars with amazing peanut butter and jelly flavor, not too sweet, just the right amount. Oh I also have to commend them for the amount of cleanliness they maintained. Both the baristas were wearing masks and gloves, so that!was great too. read more

Love this cafe! They got nice selection of drinks and food! I have tried their latte, chai latte and flat white. All tasty, though sometimes the flat white was on the bitter side. As of food, I enjoyed their carrot cake loaf. Not so much on the sweet side, and was moist and filling. Great pair for an afternoon coffee. Nice atmosphere and vibe. Good service! read more

I wrote a review for bwè kafe in Hoboken a while ago but since they have opened their second location in JerseyCity, I have to show this one some love! Everything remains the same, except this spot is bigger and there is more of that natural light. (Oh and the parking situation is so much better here) The interior is still lovely and the service is always welcoming. The best part is that my vanilla lattes are still made on point. I just found out they added a more extensive food menu and that's on my to do list. I've only tried the ham/egg on a croissant which was good! But I'll be back for that pancake stack :) read more

What a cute and aesthetic cafe! Lots of comfy seating areas and very cozy decor. I ordered the bwekfast sandwich and a matcha latte with less syrup.

My favorite coffee shop! Everyone is so nice here and the seating area is pretty cozy. The coffee is great. I get an ice oat milk latte and its delicious. I really appreciate how it taste the same every time. the consistency is perfect. I never have to worry about getting a bad coffee. I literally go here every single day. Maybe even twice a day. The food rocks too. The breakfast sandwich is soooooo good. Perfect buttered croissant, egg and cheese. Their homemade sauce, OHHHHH YEAHHHHH. Not feeling up for all of that? Get the waffle. Don't even warm it up, who cares. It's so good cold (am I weird for this?) take a bite, sip the coffee and close your eyes. Yeah, that's heaven right there. Avocado tuna sandwich SLAPS great for lunch. Grab a bag of chips too and you'll be fine read more

This place has a very positive, relaxed vibe to it. The walls are whitewashed, giving it a somewhat Brooklyn-esque atmosphere. The people lounging around at the tables look super chilled out and there's a decent view of Newport Green Park. I picked up a cappuccino to go, and even though I had to wait quite a while for it, it was creamy and smooth. Also grabbed a teddy bear-shaped madeleine pastry, which was so rich, buttery, and delicious. Probably not something you want to be eating every day though. read more

Got my coffee fix! They offer Japanese cold brew of one wants to try the taste and have it cold during the summer heat waves! Conveniently located on the corner of the block from high rise trails and the trail off of the train station! Cute and contemporary shop. read more

Love this place & their generous sized & affordably prices lattes & salads! The olive spread on their rustic bread is absolutely amazing. The couscous & feta salad had such a generous amount of delicious feta and the vegan avocado salad had to have a least half an avocado in there, maybe more! Nobody gives that much delicious quality food these days! I LOVE their turmeric lattes - an easy and delicious way to get some anti inflammatory benefits in your life. Their almond milk & oat milk lattes are delicious and sized for coffee lovers. They have a water refill area to refill reusable bottles is you carry one. Also the views right outside this shop are absolutely gorgeous. I stop in as often as I can when training to/from the Hoboken station Plus their coffee beans support Haiti. Nothing better than supporting places that do their part to support others! read more

Review is based solely on the drip coffee (delicious) and the cauliflower sandwich (with sriracha dressing is amazing). In terms of what you can get out of a coffee shop I was impressed by this place. Positives: Light roast was an exceptional cup of coffee! Vegetarian options that don't suck! Areas for improvement: Salad was a bit bland and underwhelming - instead of the dressing that tastes like nothing, give me the sriracha dressing on everything! Don't expect things to be ready instantly, this is not fast food but it is good food. read more

Found this place because it's highly rated and highly reviewed on Yelp and close to my new office. One of the first reviews I read was that the Japanese Cold Brew was good. I wholeheartedly agree with that Yelper. Space was bright and looked cozy and comfortable if you were looking to sit down and get some work done on a weekday or catch up with a friend. I'll come back and try more things most likely. It sounds like some of their food is worth nomming on. We'll see! read more

Best Soy Chai Latte I have ever had outside of making it myself and they turned me on to Oat Milk...whoa! Super friendly barristas, knowledgeable, and expedient. Right across from a water park where I bring my kids. I'm glad I remembered to check this place out. The ambience is absolutely gorgeous. There is a sweet spot to sit with really comfortable chairs by the large windows. Lots of table space and is very laptop friendly. I don't write at coffee shops...but I will work on social media for my publishing house or relax while working on a chapter edit or two at a shop from time to time. We are still considering the next neighborhood to move into and if we do decide on the new towers here in Newport since my wife works a short ways away in Hoboken (even though I have my heart set on the Upper East Side) this coffee shop will be a welcomed regular stop for me. They also serve drip coffees and sell exotic coffee beans. I am in love with this place. read more
