Small place, but great brunch. I should've opted for the Turkish specials, but couldn't resist the all day french toast. That was hard to say no to and I certainly didn't regret it. It was certainly a nice cheat meal. I savored that with a wonderful cold brew too. Delicious food and great start to my Sunday. read more

Cafe Dolma - Brioche French Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Located right off the main road in downtown Jersey City. My wife has been here several times for their amazing coffee. We finally came by for their brunch. Service was attentive and quick. Sitting at the patio was great with the weather. The smoked salmon and eggs were cooked well and the vegetarian option and sauces were scrumptious. Definitely swing by here for some delicious food. read more

Very good Turkish omelette and French toast. Soujouk is a Turkish beef sausage with certain spices. The space is small inside and the tables were full, so I sat outside. The heat lamp worked properly. It was a windy day in November which made 54 degrees feel a bit cooler. read more

Came for the gluten free pancakes, turns out the gluten free items have all been removed from their menu! They don't offer regular pancakes either. Tried to French toast, it was alright. Service was mid. read more

Highly recommend ordering in advance. Place is small and takes awhile for food to arrive. Was disappointed how long it took to get a chicken salad sandwich. Waited 35 minutes for the sandwich. It's likely due to the wait staff forgetting about me, as they seem shocked as I was still waiting but didn't apologize. Food however, was good. Would have been better with more chicken salad but for the most part, I was surprisingly impressed. I would go back again but would order in advance. Giving this a 3-star vs a 4 /5 due to the service. read more

Cafe Dolma - Chicken Salad Sandwich with Salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The place is pretty small and quaint and cozy on a cold day. The menu is simple and basically a good spot to go if you wabt to meet up with a small group of friends and none of you want to cook. Service was attentive cause the place is so small so that was nice. The food itself was good but if you've been to Costco then you'll know that all their ingredients come from there. They claim their pastries are made fresh in-house but that was a lie cause it comes straight from the box of croissants that you can buy at Costco; it just looks nice and fresh when they put it in a display case on a fancy plate but it really just comes from Costco so just a heads up there. The steak and eggs were pretty good as well as the eggs Benedict but nothing too fancy but the prices were pretty high knowing where it all comes from. While it was a good brunch, the final bill at the end of the meal just reminded us all that it's cheaper to just cook at home with the same ingredients. read more

Please do yourself a favor and go to Cafe Dolma!! This is a hidden gem in Jersey City. Limited seating indoors, but they do have covered outdoor seating during the summer. The avocado toast is always a hit (get the za'tar potatoes on the side) along with their French toast. French toast is also a great item to share! They have a variety of hot sauces as well. Service is prompt, and the vibes are great. I've never been disappointed coming here! read more

Came here for a brunch during lunch break from the office. Greeted by our hostess and was seated outside. Cute little Turkish place. Got the dolma latte and the poached eggs with kiymali plus added soujouk. The hostess recommended that it gets mixed in and honestly it was amazing. Food and the latte were great. It was filling had a great savory flavor. Wished got a few extra pieces of the pita bread but I'm sure they would have given more if asked. Our hostess was super sweet and was very helpful would def come back here to try other things given more team. read more

Cafe Dolma - Chilbir - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Cafe Dolma is always so packed on the weekends that I've never gotten a chance to go. When I had a friend visiting from out of town and she wanted to brunch on a early Monday morning, this was my instant pick! Since we came around 8am on Monday, it was relatively empty and we got seated immediately. Our server was kind and took the time to walk us through the menu. I started off with a matcha iced latte. The matcha itself was great quality but I wish they add some add in syrup or flavor options (aside from the date syrup). For my main dish, I got the Chilbir. This was delicious and incredibly fresh. The dish itself was a delight. However, the portion sizes were pretty small and left me begging for more. Overall, I think this is a great, cute, casual brunch spot but a bit on the pricier side for what you get. read more

This brunch spot was unexpectedly so good! The outside seating felt really quaint, and the Chilbir was so beautifully plated! I really haven't seen many comparably aesthetic and delicious dishes this year (but maybe the outdoor lighting was just good). I do wish it was a little more filling for $20, but I split half with my boyfriend and was doing my own little food tour, so this was a great addition to the list! read more

Lovely little spot to grab a casual brunch. My friend and I both ordered the cilbir (poached egg over labneh with sides of tomato oil, green sauce, and pita/bread), which looked small at first but was just the right amount for lunch. Each bite was full of flavor - I loved dipping the pita into the different sauces! The dishes were just a tad bit slow, but the server was incredibly friendly and came to check on us a couple times. Will have to try their other dishes and coffee next time! read more

Great food, came out quickly and was delicious. Got the steak sandwich and all ingredients tasted fresh. Salad was AMAZING, especially the dressing. Will be returning to try other dishes. Also ordered some espresso shots were great! Service was also top tier, I ordered at the counter and it was quick and efficient and everyone was kind. I sat to wait for my food to take out and still got my own table and water! It was really cozy inside and there was also a decent amount of outside seating. Tables and chairs are spaced out with interior dark wood finishing which adds to the coziness. Will 100% be dining in next time. read more

Great coffees, well priced. One of the best Matcha, Turmeric and Cappuccino I have at late. All unsweetened, foamy, strong and robust. Just the way I like it. Great hidden jewel. read more

Chose this cute eatery for my 1st BumbleBFF date. The service was nice although they were out of some of the items we wished to try.

I highly recommend this cafe for a cute meetup, business meeting, or solo date even. Classy and quaint. Enjoy! read more

Cafe Dolma - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I need to go downtown more often. I found Dolma by chance because I came too early to a doctor's appointment and didn't want to wait outside. Dolma was right in front of the office, so I decided to have breakfast there while waiting for the office to open. It was very early in the morning...9 ish and there were 3 patrons. Was not busy at all and i was seated and ready to order. Yes it is on the pricey side...it is more of a restaurant than merely a coffee shop...but oh man, was it worth it. $20 well spent. The dishes are unique. It is a mix of Turkish flavors with your staple brunch items. Haven't had anything remotely similar ever, not even in NYC. I ordered the salmon egg Benedict with the mukveri. I couldn't get enough. I am not a salad person, but the salad that came with the plate had the mild sweetness of dill and the tartness of the sour cream and lemon. Turns out it is a house made dressing and a secret recipe at that. I did not leave one leaf behind. The potato fritter was amazing and the eggs were poached into perfect balls with gooey eggs goodness ready to burst out. I wanted to lick the plate so bad, but couldn't figure out a way to do so discreetly without making a fool of myself. read more

Nice outdoor seating with umbrellas to give some shade. Had the sautéed spinach with labneh and spicy Turkish sausage and it was great - full of garlic flavor, really well seasoned sausage and creamy labneh. The poached eggs with kiymali was also very flavorful. Pita were fresh. The hours are short only open for breakfast through 3:30 PM. Highly recommend. read more

Wanted to stop by this cute local establishment after hearing a friend going & enjoying it. And I could not be any happier! (Also, they have the cutest outdoor seating too!) The people in the front were so nice & welcoming (and patient because I literally took 10 minutes trying to pick something to order). Ended up getting an americano with almond milk and their Big Blue Sandwich. The coffee was REALLY good & the sandwich too! The bread was super crisp & the tuna was so so light which was a pleasant surprise. Such an amazing sandwich! Can't wait to come back and try more of their traditional Turkish dishes! read more

I love the inside of Cafe Dolma and now they have added a lot of shade and trees to the patio area as well! I recently came for brunch and ordered the Cilbir (Turkish style poached eggs with labneh, dill, chili butter, green sauce, and pita). I wasn't really in the mood for poached eggs but this dish won me over! The spices were really good and the portions of each item on the plate were spot on! Hazelnut mini donuts were a nice add-on to our meal for a little something sweet. Finished of with the Dolma latte (date syrup, rose extract, cinnamon, cardamom) which was not sweet at all (thankfully) and something different. Dolma is moving to the top of my list of brunch spots in DTJC. read more

This cafe has a great indoor and outdoor space for seating. Perfect for a group of 2-4 people to have brunch or hangout. This cafe has Greek flavors and seasonings in each dish which makes it a unique spot to eat. All the dishes we had are not too salty and seasoned well. The Poached Eggs with Kiymali was perfectly poached and very worth trying. The tomato based dish has vegetables and minced beef. It's like a greek version of a marinara sauce. The coffee was made well. The service was great and employees were very friendly. Def worth coming back to try other dishes and their pastries. read more

What a rip off. We paid $18 and $18.50 for two brunch entrees and got the tiniest portions. The veggies were pretty soggy and not fresh. You can get a way better value and tastier breakfast at many other places in the neighborhood. We dined in at this place a few months ago and also had such a negative experience. They completed forgot about our order and we waited for an hour until we reminded them. They didn't even compensate us or gave us something complimentary. Just said sorry for the wait and that's it. We figured maybe we'll try it one more time and do take out but the quality have gone down even more. For the price you are paying it's absolutely not worth it. read more

I came here for breakfast and had a great experience! I was there on a Saturday around 10 am and there was no wait for outdoor seating. We were under a little covered area. I got an egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant with home fries, and a hot cocoa. The egg and cheese was amazing!! Love finding a great egg and cheese sandwich. The home fries were perfect also! It definitely got pretty filled up by the time we left, so I would recommend going on the earlier side on a weekend. read more

Love love love!!! This is my first post pandemic brunch! Foods are so delicious. The lamb eggplant dish looks a little heavy but it's actually much less creamy compared to other places. I guess it's because they use yogurt instead of cream for the sauce. If you love eggplants this is not a dish to miss. Lamb meat mostly appear in the sauce and more play an ancillary role here. Avocado toast is... new! I think they have either pear or apple in it, and there's a refreshing taste when you take a bite. It feels a little far away from San Francisco avocado toast which is usually salty and spicy. This one actually gives you something like an invigorating feeling. Chocolate croissants are great, too. Nothing surprising, but pretty good. read more

Pretty laid back and casual place to have brunch or lunch at. The food was really good and healthy. The portions could go a bit bigger though.

Still 5 stars for the food. read more

Excellent place to go for breakfast on those mornings off. . Every ingredient they use feels like they are good quality, good flavor combinations. We chose 3 different dishes and they were all amazing. . I recommend the avocado toast. Regarding coffee, it could have been even better, with a healthier almond milk :) One of the stars that I take away is because "gratitude" is included in the bill and they also make you understand as if it were not there, (with percentages of tips at the end of the check), We were only 3 people, normally that is done when they are large tables. . We will be back anyway :) read more

This place has officially just become my favorite brunch spot in Jersey City! It truly has a winning combo: cute interior, delicious food, and reasonable prices. I've been meaning to come here for a while and wished I had come here sooner because there were so many items on the menu I wanted to try, but I couldn't get them all at once. I ended up ordering the Poached Eggs with Kiymali, two mini doughnuts, and a Café au Lait. The food quality was great. The beef ragu in the poached eggs dish was very flavorful. It came with three eggs and four slices of flatbread for dipping. It was delicious and the portion was great! And the mini doughnuts were even better - fresh and soft, filled with Nutella or berry purée. They were probably the best doughnuts I've had in a while: soft, light, and not too sweet. Items I did not get to try but wanted to were the pizzas and avocado toast. I will definitely be back to try those, and next time, I'll be going for the full-sized doughnuts! read more
