I went here for brunch. Dor a Sunday brunch hr it was quite empty, which was pleasant in order to have a conversation. The space is super quaint. It looks like their primary business is take-out coffee & pastries rather than sit down, but our waitress was nice and the seating area was cute. My coffee was just okay, but my capri toast was really yummy and the perfect brunch food. The banana chips that came with it were gross, however. It was kind of pricey for what I got, but I would come back.

Im really glad I found this place. It's a literal whole in the wall that needs discovering. The smoothies here are so good and the pesto ravioli I had was delicious. Service was also quick so you could come during your lunch hour like I did and eat. I'll definitely be back here.

Cute little cafe and restaurant in Hoboken that's off the main streets. They have pretty interesting breakfast dishes and I got the Norwegian open sandwich to try which was hearty. My friends and I sat in the small restaurant area in the back and our orders were taken at the table and food was delivered, but the rest was self service such as grabbing condiments and clearing the table then pay up front. There are pretty cute and niche mugs for sell up front if you're looking to add anything to your mug collection!

Best psl I've ever had. Seriously I don't know how I'll ever go back to Starbucks. The syrup isn't sweet, the foam is real, and it tastes like coffee. We got an iced and hot latte with pumpkin spice and both were delicious. The waiters were very attentive and friendly and the outdoor seating was quaint. It's also on a cute little street that gives it my brownstone feel. We didn't have time to try the food but we will definitely be back for it. They had interesting options and the people eating seemed satisfied. So happy to have found a Sunday morning coffee spot!

When the weather is uncharacteristically nice for January you seek out cute little brunch spots and this place is the cutest of the cute. We sat outside on their wonderful little patio covered in fake flowers, plastic dinosaurs and teeny tiny tables. Did I mention this place was cute? Cute and kooky. The whole menu looked wonderful but I opted for a grilled chicken sandwich. Came with the chicken all chopped up and cooked absolutely perfectly and seasoned really well. It also had basil, roasted pepper, and sundried tomatoes on it. On the side of the sandwich were plantain chips, which I thought was a lovely little alternative to plain old potato chips. My boyfriend got an omelette, which I of course snuck a taste of, and it was delicious as well. Portions are pretty normal and I thought it was very reasonably priced, about $16 for each of our meals. You do pay for water, no big deal. Oh and I kind of fell in love with the mug that they gave me for my water. I THINK I saw that they sell them in their (once again) cute shop inside. Love this place and so happy we finally tried them. I'm also happy that the day we finally decided to try them it was gorgeous outside and we were able to sit outside. Can't wait to come back.

Very cute gem off the beaten path in Hoboken. Everything from the art on the walls to the opinionated cups and the decorated tree... details really matter here and were well thought out. I liked the ambiance and the people watching scene of this quaint cafe. I am writing this review a few weeks after visiting and still remember the taste of the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice which really hit the spot for me that day and I would definitely come back for. I also liked that they have gluten free options although the food was not as amazing as I hoped. It was ok. Overall, it is cute and cozy with cool looking people and trees around so I would definitely come back and recommend to try it.

Super cozy! Delicious food and amazing coffee. Best dirty chai I've had in a while!

One of those cute little cafes that totally live up to your expectations! We drove past this place and few times and finally decided to give it a try one Saturday afternoon for brunch! I went in a group of three and we all tried their vegetarian pancake dosa which we had heard so much about! I must say, we were not disappointed at all- it was delicious! They have multiple options for coffee too. I got their latte and loved it. The service is great, and what I loved what the ambience. It has this European feel to it on the inside and a very green fresh vibe if you get to sit outside. Did not disappoint!

Prianka S.

This place was really good! A super cute and small place on Newark and willow. I got the vegetable dosa and the chorizo omelette and they were very tasty. The service was really slow though, so beware of that.

My friend and I enjoyed brunch at this beautiful cafe this morning and we left feeling more than satisfied. The menu options were plentiful and very reasonably priced (crucial to any brunch experience). I definitely recommend the Dosa and fruit bowl. All of the staff were very professional and welcoming to us, including the chef and the owners! This is the best place I've eaten since moving to north Jersey and I will definitely be bringing more friends here in the future. UPDATE 7/17/2016 Since I first stepped into the Green Pear Cafe several months ago, I have brought all family and friends who have come to visit me to get brunch here. The authentic European flair and attention to every detail of presentation and service alone, brings me back every time. I recommend any of the egg dishes or Dosas (I've had them all at this point) as well as anything on the high fiber menu. As I said previously, I highly enjoy the experience and the food this place provides and will continue bringing friends and family whenever we're looking for a guaranteed delicious brunch experience. read more

This is a great cozy food establishment with a nice staff. I use to love coming for their dossa which is gluten free and vegan. However, they no longer have any of the dossa or crepes on their menu. This was my place to go for breakfast but now with no more dossa I have to say goodbye.

I'm so excited to be living in downtown Hoboken this fall, with all of these great local places opening up! I stopped in one day after work and had one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. Smooth and delicious. I was also pleased to find that not only do they have food, coffee, pastries and Italian cookies, but they also have a little grocery selection with some really interesting items. I got a jar of fantastic pesto. The cafe offers a very interesting mix of menu items and the owners tell me that they are Eastern European and Italian, which may explain why. Great brunch spot, great place for a good coffee, and great spot to stop in to buy something interesting to cook for dinner or bring to a dinner party. So happy to have The Green Pear in Hoboken! read more

What an elegant, good-vibe place! This coffee shop is in a hidden corner of Hoboken, even if it's only a few blocks from City Hall and Washington Street, so going there is like stepping into a cafe on a quiet street in Paris or Rome. It's run by the most gracious Italian couple from Italy, so they have the finest coffee and desserts. Lovely lunches, very economical. Eating there is like visiting family. It's a real find. Green Pear is new, it's only been open about six months, so only the locals and professionals who work nearby have discovered it so far. It's the kind of quality place you disappear to when you want to escape your life in the afternoon, and nourish your soul with a little peace and luxury. read more

I've only been here for coffee. And I'll admit I go for drip rather than espresso. However, for all the great things I've read about their drinks I was expecting better.

There was only one other family dining, and the space stayed empty the entire time. The service was genuinely great. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and a really cute, cozy space. I especially loved the Christmas décor and overall vibe--it felt warm and inviting. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the prices. The house salad was $13 and honestly one of the most basic, smallest, and most boring salads I've ever had--very underwhelming for the cost. We also ordered quesadillas, a cheeseburger with fries, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. My son enjoyed the burger and fries, and the quesadillas were flavorful, generously filled with chicken and veggies, and came with sour cream, pico, and guac. The tomato soup was tasty, while the grilled cheese was just okay. One small but appreciated detail: canned soda. Cold, crisp, and not flat which is always a win. Lunch for 3 came in just under $100, which felt high given what we received. One frustration was being seated in a tight corner right next to the kitchen even though the dining room was completely empty. We were so close I could literally see into the kitchen and count items on the shelves. On top of that, the hostess repeatedly walked by calling out "corner," which became distracting and honestly a bit irritating. Overall, I liked the vibe, but the food-to-price ratio missed the mark for me. It wasn't bad--just alright.

I had also been glad to see that they had a reasonable amount of seating; Hoboken has no shortage of coffeeshops, but few of them have comfortable seating options.

However, I recently met a friend for coffee and found my giant, dine-in mug of cappuccino with almond milk reasonable at its ~$6.50 cost. My drink was creamy, rich, and delicious. I was also thrilled that we were able to get a table on a Saturday afternoon, though we both found the service inconsistent, as it went from overbearing to avoidant. However, it was still friendly and not something that would prevent me from returning. Overall, Bluestone Lane's cozy cafe atmosphere and tasty beverages made it a great place to grab a brew.

In fact, it is considered the least important meal of the day. While in some countries like the US, breakfast contains savory elements--cheese, cold meats, eggs, or bacon. Located on a busy Washington Street in the heart of Hoboken, my close friend's daughter and I decided on this European-inspired establishment for brunch. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival at La Bouche Cafe as first-timers, we were greeted by the staff and got a table evoking a cozy and inviting vibe with light and airy seating. Outdoor dining is also available, weather permitting. Their menu features French and Mediterranean cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. We decided on the Avocado Toast with Feta Cheese and French Toast with Fried Chicken. To wash them down, we ordered each a latte. Not sure if we just didn't order the right selections. Sadly, the food wasn't as tasty as we expected. The French Toast wasn't cooked thoroughly, and the Avocado Toast was not touched. The coffee was weak. The price was comparable to the area. The server was friendly and accommodating. Nothing like the true French places we've encountered.

They're also BYOB so we picked up a bottle of wine from the liquor store a few doors down. I got the Camarones Al Ajillo and my sister ordered the Chuletas Encebolladas. Each dish comes with 2 sides and we both got white rice with black beans. Both dishes were good. The white since sauce with my dish was delicious but heavy. I loved it but avoid if you don't like a thick cream sauce. The food is a tad pricey but normal for the area and the portions are a good size. The dessert looked tasty but we were way too full for dessert. The restaurant was narrow but has a decent amount of seating. A cute place for date night.

We were greeted warmly by whom I assume is the owner. Since I love pistachio, it was a no brainer for me. As one of my companions is trying to decide, I mumbled under my breath..."the Rose latte is really beautiful." He sighs and says to the barista...okay, I'll have the Rose latte, I'll let her have her picture. I tell the barista that I want it in one of those pretty cup and saucers. I was giddy as a little girl when I got the lattes. Soooo eye-pleasingly beautiful. Most of the Rose latte pics on Yelp has the leaf in white, mine was PINK. I am not a fan of any drinks that taste like a rose. Curious I did take a sip and I was wowed. The rose flavor was very subtle in a wonderful way with the perfect balance of the coffee. I loved my pistachio but decided to switch the rose latte with my companion. It was the best rose lattes I have ever had. They also have homemade treats. Their pistachio baklava is PERFECTION, not too overly sweet. I could eat a dozen of these in one sitting. Limited indoor seating with only 2 tables outside.

Still a fan! They put a lot of effort into their lattes. We've been on a pistachio latte kick and…read morehave been testing them at different coffee spots and cafe vista makes a solid pistachio latte... they even put real pistachios in the latte art!

I have never heard of or had a sushi burrito before coming to this establishment. It was an absolutely fabulous!

You have the option to make it less sugar, regular sugar or more and I chose less sugar and it was amazing. I really want to try one of their bowls as I saw a lot of people with it inside for lunch.

Love their cute logo and branded items. Broth is hot and delicious. Mildly flavorful. About 7 shrimps, decent size and cooked perfectly. No chewiness. The broth is packaged separately from the noodle bowl. Veggies are fresh and good. Fish cakes are good. Noodles are decent, cooked perfectly. The half egg was good. Wish the other half was there lol. Bamboo shoots and bean sprouts fresh. I'd order it again and try another protein. Good options! 9/10 The Philadelphia burrito was also fresh. I'm happy it had mostly veggies vs rice. I ordered it with the brown rice. Rice was a little al dente, but it was nice because everything else was on the softer side. Added some crunch to the burrito haha. The salmon was fresh and nice size pieces throughout. Right amount of cream cheese. Seaweed held everything together. Would order another one just to try. But this is very good!! Would order again. 10/10 I'm pleasantly surprised and happy we have a new ramen place! :)

They have these as specials with cold brew but we decided to get it with espresso. Both drinks didn't quite hit the same this time. The lavender and blueberry flavors were both good, added some sweetness, and fruity/floral elements but for some reason, the latte didn't feel as cohesive. The staff were very friendly and offered to remake it if I didn't like it. I think the syrup wasn't strong enough or could've been better layered with the milk & espresso. Decent try!

The carrot cake roll had some big pieces of carrot lol a bit unexpected because I assumed the carrots would be a bit more finely grated. but not bad! the carrot taste is just a lot more prominent. strawberry shortcake matcha was good, but I think the cinnamon rolls are the real star here.

Loved that they have a separate space for little kids to play (which you pay $7 for). Im sure the parents appreciate this - having a place for coffee while also letting smaller kids enjoy. They have babycinno too! Parking can be hard as its street parking only but there are some garages available if you dont mind walking a bit. Would love to return someday for a sit-down experience.

A Delightful Café Experience: A Haven for Coffee Lovers I recently had the pleasure of visiting a charming café tucked away in the heart of the city, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a memorable experience. First and foremost, the café's ambiance was warm and inviting. The cozy and tastefully decorated interior created a relaxing atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The soft lighting, comfortable seating, and soothing background music provided the perfect setting for a tranquil coffee break or a catch-up session with friends. The star of the show, of course, was the coffee itself. As an avid coffee enthusiast, I hold high standards when it comes to a good cup of joe, and this café exceeded my expectations. Their coffee was undoubtedly exceptional. Every sip was a burst of rich flavors, expertly brewed and perfectly balanced. It was evident that the baristas were passionate about their craft, as each cup was prepared with precision and care. The café also offered a wide range of beverages to cater to every taste. From classic espresso-based drinks to creative seasonal specials, there was something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed their signature latte, which was a delicious blend of smooth espresso and velvety steamed milk, adorned with beautiful latte art. In addition to their impressive coffee selection, the café also boasted a delectable assortment of pastries and light bites. I couldn't resist trying their freshly baked croissants, and they were simply divine. The flaky, buttery layers melted in my mouth, leaving me craving for more. The attention to detail and quality ingredients were evident in every bite. What truly set this café apart, though, was the exceptional service. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their offerings. They were more than happy to provide recommendations based on personal preferences and engage in delightful conversations about coffee and culinary delights. Their genuine passion for their work shone through and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. Lastly, I must mention the café's commitment to sustainability. They proudly served their beverages in eco-friendly cups and actively promoted recycling. It was refreshing to see a business that cared about its environmental impact and took steps to minimize waste. In conclusion, my visit to this café was nothing short of remarkable. The delightful ambiance, outstanding coffee, delicious treats, attentive service, and commitment to sustainability made it a truly exceptional establishment. If you're a coffee lover looking for a haven to relax, indulge, and savor the perfect cup of coffee, this café is an absolute must-visit. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

The owner of this place is one of the nastiest women I've ever met. Apparently my last review was removed because it was "racially sensitive" so, suffice it say, I watched her kick out a family for absolutely no reason and berate them the whole way out the door. I left immediately in protest and will not be back. Don't support businesses that don't treat all customers well and equally. Oh yeah, and the food is ridiculously overpriced and mediocre. They don't even have tap water, they make you buy it. read more

I absolutely LOVE this new spot! The paratha wrap with cheese and prosciutto is insanely delicious and the coffee is one of the best I've ever had! I have to say the coffee is even better than any of the locally brewed ones I've tasted in Brooklyn. The staff is also super friendly and it's family-ran. The cafe is also beautiful with all of it's details inside, soft French music, and beautiful outdoor music. It makes me feel like I'm back in Europe. Will definitely come back! read more

This place is the best it gets. The food is the best, I definitely recomend the vegetarian piratha the avocado and the havar spread make a perfect combination. The crispy piratha makes the sandwich even better. The service is also amazing especially the little cute girl. The owner is also friendly and engages a lot of conversation with the costumers. The coffee is definitely has got to be the best I have ever had. The place is adorable and I will definitely be back. :) read more
