This place is ADORABLE! Came here with my family and we all loved the food and atmosphere. Small and quaint, and good quality. I got the bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Delish! The omelets are huge, more like flat frittatas, and the eggs with salmon was a big portion, as well! Lots of salmon. And then at the end, they treated us with free dessert cookies! How sweet!! read more

Green Pear Cafe - Complimentary Cookies :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Diffferent style, and fresh food! It's not your typical American hoboken restaurant. It's very European style. Just go in and try it and you'll see what I mean. Breakfast was excellent. You have to order up at the front register. And they serve it to you. Good pastries! That was our experience. read more

I've been wanting to stop into this sweet little place for quite some time. Perhaps I was expecting too much, after passing it so many times, I was excited and I should've just managed my expectations. It's a nice day today (Sunday) and we wanted to grab a quick drink post spin and maybe a small bite. We weren't up for juice or a shake so we decided to go into this place since we've seen it so many times. The good news is: they have a lot of coffee and tea options, it's not too expensive and when the weather is nice they have 4 two-top tables outside/in front that are covered by umbrellas and a nice big tree. Oh, and they do have WiFi you can use (the password is posted in the back or you can ask the staff). The downside-its small, so there's not much room to order and wait for something to go, and while there are tables in the back, it's tight quarters, so just be mindful. Honestly, this place isn't bad, it just wasn't great, so we didn't feel compelled to get anything beyond drinks... maybe we'll have to give it another try. read more

We got omelettes they were good. Service was thoughtful they brought out a croissant on the house when my friend's omelette was taking much longer than mine. But I was negatively surprised that they don't offer normal tap water, that's something that most places in the states would not charge for, only in Europe have I seen water for purchase only. Seems strange when we are already paying plenty to have lunch there. The Dosas looked good I would be curious to try them next time. read more

Small neighborhood cafe serving brunch, small plates & some cool drinks. Bummer that the drinks seem much better than the food. We stopped by for a light lunch during the holidays and it was quite disappointing. The husband had a salmon burger which came on a bed of salad (open burger, no patty). I had the gnocchi with cheese. Both tasted pretty much generic...nothing that set it apart or made it stand out in any way. The salmon wasn't the freshest either. The Lake Placid drink on the other hand was stellar -- very refreshing, tangy and just the right touch of sweetness. This is a family run business with the kids doubling up behind the counter & as servers. Great idea. My recommendation would be to kick it up a notch; both attention to detail and a touch of warmth. It's really what brings people back and makes a home grown business memorable. read more

Cute place to have breakfast. Owners are very nice and serve delicious coffee and various delicacies.

This looks like a cute brunch place and I wish I could like it. We went today, lots of flies and we need to wave our hands to keep them away from the food, I was a little annoyed, but there is nothing like seeing a black, dried, dead fly in my plate. I ordered an egg salad sandwich. I was half way through, it was just lying there, buried in the greens. I could've eaten it. I was immediately disgusted and nauseated, and started to second guess our other dishes. I didn't get an apology or any explanation. The owner reduced the price of this plate from the total bill. They should really do something about sanitation and quality control. read more

This is a cozy little restaurant in Hoboken which seemed promising but failed to impress us much. We were seated inside, flies were our constant companion. We ordered the Vegetarian Sandwich on Naan bread and the Salmon Pancake which were both good. They have only bottled water which seemed odd and the service wasn't that great. The servers seemed to ignore us and we had to try hard to get their attention. Really hope they do something about the flies, there's nothing more de appetizing than watching flies share your food. read more

there is no better place to get coffee in Hoboken then in Green Pear. it's by far the best atmosphere for your morning breakfast. the food is incredible I highly recommend everyone to go. I heard they have a place in the heights for dinner that's incredible as well read more

Cute cafe, quaint space, great smoothies and friendly service! What more can you ask for? Stopped in on way to a meeting to grab a power pick me up, their smoothies caught my eye and I ordered the mango lassi smoothie and it was delicious!!! Not too creamy/yogurty and really good balance of mango and diary! The servers/owners (I think they are the owners) are so friendly and the space is beautifully quaint. Cannot wait to come back and try more items on their menu when I have time!!! read more

Green Pear Cafe - Mango lassi, lovely pine scented candle for the holidays, French music in the back just perfect. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Review is based on a pick-up order: I went to pick up a breakfast order I phoned in on a Thursday morning. This was my first time at the Green Pear Cafe so when I walked in, I couldn't help but notice how adorable it was. There was someone behind the counter but they seemed busy so I patiently waited and looked around at the mugs for sale for a few mins. She abruptly asks me, "What do you need?" I thought that was a weird way to greet someone in the morning right after they walked in the door. I told her I was picking up an order. She then abruptly asks me, "Cash or card?" Mind you, still no hello or anything. As I was paying, they were staring at the screen when the tip options came up which made me feel so uncomfortable. Who stares when you're entering a tip? I felt forced to over tip for a pick-up order that was already costing me over $30 (the egg white omelette I ordered was around $19 and my boyfriend's three hard boiled eggs, salmon, and dill sour cream was about $16, we also got two coffees). I grabbed my items and left, wrongfully assuming my entire order was in the bag. I got home and noticed the coffees were not in the bag, my mistake for not checking. I had to go back one more time to grab my coffees. They were apologetic which I understand. It happens. The food was ok but not worth $30+ for what we ordered. The coffee is not good. I don't think they've cleaned their coffee pots in ages or something because the coffee is insanely bitter. I wanted to love this place so much. I was so excited to discover something so close with such great reviews. Sadly, bad service and bitter coffee played a major role in me not coming back. read more

Green Pear Cafe - Almost $20 for an egg white omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

How can this place be ranked so high? The food, service and even coffee are so bad. Coffees came out burnt to death, impossible to drink. For a place that's called a cafe that's a big minus. Then we had to sit and wait forever for spoons and sugar that never arrived. Mind you there are 4 tables in this tiny place. The egg dish was 3 boiled eggs out of fridge. Apparently they're not capable of a simple task of fresh- boiling them when I asked. Zero salt on those eggs. I ended up getting up and getting salt and pepper myself as our waiter was too distracted. My husband's dish was brought out almost ten minutes after mine. So we had to sit and stare at my eggs out of the fridge. Very disappointing and hard to trust Yelp reviews after things like this. read more

The most wonderful and friendly atmosphere you will ever find - from the moment you walk in someone is greeting you with a smile! They have great quality coffee that they import from Italy (Lavazza) and different kinds of milk that you can pick from (if you are dairy intolerant). Lunch menu looked incredible too so I will have to come back to try it! read more

I'm not sure how this place is so highly rated on Yelp. I thought it was mediocre at best but I definitely wouldn't come back. I came here for an early lunch on Friday so that I could get there in time for breakfast (served until noon). I ordered orange juice, a dirty chai, and a veggie omelette and went to sit outside. The dirty chai they served me wasn't a latte, which dirty chai usually is (chai latte with a shot of espresso). Instead, theirs was just chai with espresso in it. Meh. Then they brought my veggie omelette. It was served open-faced with a sort of salad on top-- arugula and tomatoes. From what I could tell, the veggies inside the omelette included some bell peppers and zucchini, but not much of them. Weirdest of all, the cheese was sprinkled on top instead of mixed into the omelette, so it wasn't fully melted. It was disappointing but I ate it. All of this might have been okay if not for their tables. Their outside tables are cast iron with a fancy design but nothing on top, so the delicate glasses they gave me for my chai and orange juice were perched precariously on top. At the end of my meal when I was finishing my orange juice, I must have nudged the table because the chai glass tipped over and my remaining half of chai splashed through the table onto my bag and white jeans. I honestly don't remember touching the table or chai glass, that's how little effort it took to knock it over. Those open tables are just a terrible idea and the glasses they give you don't help. It was a bad ending to a not-great meal. Oh, and on top of that, the service is really slow. read more

Mediocre food, terrible service, and rude manager - got the orders wrong and wanted to blame us. Too small of a space as well. We left there smelling like food. I do not understand the positive review but we all experience things differently. My friends and I were not impressed and will not be returning. We were only offered a smile when the check was presented - how interesting huh. read more

I wish there was a 0 star review. My table asked if we could have water and they told us they didn't have any tap and that we either pay for sparkling or $4 Fiji water. Terrible food almost not edible, terrible service (only saw our waitress one time), high prices and terrible atmosphere. Will not be coming back. I got an omelette and water and ended up paying $25. The veggie omelette looked like they just threw eggs and veggies (not chopped up) into a pan and served it like that. My friends ordered croissants and they were burnt. Disappointed i wasted a meal here and gave money to this business. Don't waste your time here! read more

Really cute location in Hoboken, can't believe it was my first time visiting. Had an amazing matcha latte (iced)! Ordered the salmon crepe which was delicious and a pork belly sandwich, would not order this again as it was extremely greasy and fatty and left my stomach a bit upset. Staff was very friendly and left you alone for just enough time to enjoy your company. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Green Pear Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I was not super impressed by this place. Initially, the atmosphere is unique and cute, with blankets outside if you get a little chilly and a back room indoors for main seating. When you walk in, it looks like its going to be counter serve but behind the counter is where they make all the food. Our servers were nice enough, but brought limes instead of lemon and didn't come back for us to ask for lemons. The food is what prompted this review... the dosa is so dry that you can barely cut through it, and the prosciutto pesto combination was so salty that I could not drink enough water after. The ham omelette was both overcooked and over greasy at the same time. Mango lassi was okay also. TLDR: not impressed with food. read more

Home-like and simplistic ambience (in a good way)! I came to the cafe with some of my friends and they were very welcoming. The chai latte is a must-try. We ordered a sandwich, an omelette and an arepa. It was quite delicious and you could taste the freshness of all veggies and bread. Strongly recommended for brunch / lunch. read more

This place is just darling! (I never use that word - but couldn't think of anything better or more accurate.) Its off the beaten path for me as I live in uptown Hoboken but will skip other local cafes to drive down, roll the dice and either get no parking or have to parallel park just for their deliciously smooth coffee and buttery croissants. Also, if you have time to sit and relax, their omelettes are delicious - light but filling! The service is so friendly and they're genuinely happy to help. I love going to quaint, cute cafes and getting a different experience from local shops as opposed to boring, basic Starbucks. read more

I visited this coffee shop with my three other friends a weeks ago for a meeting and we found this place to be expensive. The same items at Dunkin Donuts one block away, can be had for a MUCH cheaper price and much better tasting (with courteous smiles from the Dunkin cashier) The place is small, crowded with cluttery ambience. The food looks good, but all of us found the taste inferior elsewhere in Hoboken. Try Toni Boloney's of Hoboken and Luca Brasi's Deli on 1st Street - service with a smile (cheaper, spacious and good taste without the illusion of expensive decor only to be matched by an expensive price). the short haired blonde lady at the cashier was mean and focused on getting paid only... without a thank you or a smile either to us ... (we didn't think she is native to this land) ... her service was slow and ignored us when we walked in..... to the mean lady, I know you have a business and you had to be paid but there is a way to do this better and more gracious.... seriously ... geeeeez !! Again, other locations close to this establishment are priced better with better etiquette values that makes a small business better. We do not see how this place can have 5 yelp stars, not possible !! unless the people who commented at yelp are friends or family members of this establishment. Don't visit unless of course you have money to splurge on something pretentious and impress your friends with illusions of grandeur over a crowded small table nudge to nudge ..... We will simply not be coming back here again ...... read more

Let's start with the positives: I've been here at least three times before my latest visit today and have always had good experiences. The staff has been friendly and helpful and I have enjoyed everything on the menu, both food and drinks. I like the atmosphere and the proximity to my house. It had become a go-to for meetings and a nice quiet place to get a little writing done. Unfortunately Green Pear has recently changed its policy and no longer lets patrons stay more than 45 minutes. I was verbally informed of this policy after it was clear that my meeting was over and my drink was empty and would not be making another purchase. At this time, there were only two other customers present in the store, and there was plenty of other seating available. They have a limited amount of seating and I understand the need to be respectful of traffic flow and certainly patrons should be aware especially during busy hours not to abuse the space, but as a paying customer I believe a business should clearly establish their expectations (put a clear sign up on the wall or at each table) and leave it to the customer's judgement as to when it is time to leave. While I understand all of this from a cost perspective, my experience today made me feel unwelcome and hesitant to return as a patron. read more

The salmon parm omelette was delicious! They made a great almond milk latte too. Really happy to find this spot.

Recently spent the day working from this little gem on Grand Street. Outdoor seating provides a few tables with umbrellas while and a few set in the back of the cafe. A big bonus is the working Wi-Fi. The owner is a delight, the coffee strong & the food tasty. 2 thumbs up for the Green Pear Cafe read more

A unique atmosphere in Hoboken, by far the best coffee shop. the owners are very nice and friendly, if you want to get real coffee, this is definitely your place. smoothies are also amazing, on the top of that, they sell unique products from Europe ,that are very difficult to find on the market, definitely a must if you are in Hoboken! read more

I have to admit, I sort of stumbled upon this place by accident but I'm sure glad I did! Located on Grand St between First/Newark, it's only a few blocks away from my apartment so it was totally perfect for a quick Saturday morning walk. The first thing I noted when I came in was the really cute interior. It's obvious a lot of work was put into this shop to make it nice. The front has the counter/shelves with various foodstuffs and the back has a few tables. It's spacious (for Hoboken) and the layout is on point. The coffee was really, really good. I ordered a flat white but the owner said he was going to make me a cappuccino instead. Whatever, I'm not picky and it was damn good. A double shot of quality espresso is perfect to get you up and running! The breakfast sandwich I got was actually quite tasty. While they don't have a full on grill, they made it fresh in some type of machine. While that was weird, it was delicious nevertheless so why complain? The croissant was buttery and flakey and delicious. I'm going to have to make this new addition to Hoboken a common stop moving forward. Friendly people, great coffee and pretty good breakfast sandwiches! read more

Extremely rude owner lectured me about this being HER establishment after I politely complained about spending $11.00 + tip on capuccino and oatmeal and being denied a glass of water to take my meds, whereas the owner told me she is there "to make money" and only sells water. I was treated as if I just walked from the street and asked for a glass of water, which was not the case. There are enough cafes in Hoboken where managers and owners respect patrons and are glad to have you and don't give you an attitude. read more

I just tried this place for this first time after a few friends and neighbors raved about and I was blown away!! We ordered the smoked salmon on tandoori naan and the suckling pig on oven baked flat bread as take-out...as soon as I took the last bite of the suckling pig I wished I ordered a second!! The smoked salmon was delicious as well and I don't know if they make the flatbreads and naan on the spot but they are so fresh it tastes like they do. I will most likely go back in the next 24 hours. What a great addition to an area that couldn't be more deserving of a neighborhood cafe like this. read more
