Fresh food, great music, and wonderful atmosphere. This place is just great!! Just what Hoboken needed... finally a place that has a wonderful breakfast. It definitely has a great twist to their food. So happy I tried it! Salmon, with dill infused sour cream, and spinach omelet was spectacular. I have tried every breakfast place in Hoboken and have been disappointed... this was a pleasant surprise that you green pear cafe read more

This place is the local "hidden gem" in Hoboken! Serving you the best Italian (LavAzza) coffee and their croissants are OUT IF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS! The owners are pretty awesome and are a part of the community, which we love read more

Green pear cafe was a great, intimate restaurant. I was the chicken salad naan wrap which had a lot of flavor and fresh ingredients. My friend had the tri color dosa which was also very tasty. I think that for a meal, there should be a side or something else on the plate. It's a very small place with 4 tables inside and 2 tables outside. The wait staff is very nice and accommodating. read more

Service was pretty awful, brought out all of our drinks separately with 5 mins in between each one. Lamb sandwich tasted old and gamey. When asked for water, they said they don't serve tap water, only Fiji water. Really not good. read more

Great little cafe! Good Lavazza coffee! Finally a place where I can go in on a cold day, grab a cup of coffee, continue my walk while sipping and enjoying a good cup that doesn't taste burnt, and sour! (People mistake sourness for "strong" and that's not really what it is). The place is clean, well-lighted, warm and inviting. Great snacks on the counter, just tempting us to try their ever changing display of yumminess! Yesterday they had really, really good pignoles! The little area in the far back of the cafe is small and cozy with a couple of tables. There are goodies to browse from on the wall, like Italian cookies, teas etc. The place is located somewhat hidden, but for us who has discovered this tiny gem, will be going back for more. read more

The service was top notch! Best cappuccino and breakfast sandwich in town! Definitely a gem in Hoboken!

Food and drinks were good..but the gentleman serving us was pretty rude..they have an open kitchen and they were probably cooking/cutting some onions because of which every guest seated there had a lotta eye irritation..and when we mentioned this to that gentleman he just flatly suggested that we are free to leave..when we mentioned that it's not just our table but every guest seated there..he openly asked another guest and when they confirmed that they were all having the same issues that's when he apologized and reported it back to their cooks..NEVER COMING BACL HERE AGAIN. read more

Green Pear is a great place to stop for breakfast (only have been for breakfast). The coffee is fantastic and the people are friendly. Its an especially nice place tomato when the weather is nice as they have some outdoor seating. My only complaint is that they don't specify that the egg and cheese comes with Parmesan cheese, not the traditional American cheese, and it's not specified on the menu. Other than that I'd highly recommend it. read more

Excellent food and service. When the weather is nice we come here with our dog and sit outside. She loves the scrambled eggs!

When this place opened, it immediately became a second home for me. The coffee is beyond excellent as is the food. I have loved everything I've eaten here. Some of my favorites include the soups, the date and peanut butter smoothie, mango lassi, omelets, granola and fruit, varied pasta dishes, crab cake, paratha sandwich, well I can go on and on. It's obvious that I've eaten here many times. Every time I have someone in from out of town I take them there for breakfast or lunch. The owners, Isabella and Alfredo, are so friendly and it's a family affair as their children, Claudia and Leon, help out on weekends. I highly recommend this wonderful addition to the neighborhood and to Hoboken. Come down and eat and be merry. read more

My favorite place in Hoboken to get an iced coffee with almond milk, hands down. They also make their croissants, which are AMAZING. The loveliest people work here and are always a joy to see whenever I walk in. read more

Really great neighborhood cafe where I go to get coffee and breakfast often. It's my favorite place to have coffee in Hoboken. The omelettes are very good and my family loves the ambiance of the place. They have outdoor seating available when the weather is nice. The staff is very courteous and friendly. I highly recommend stopping by while in Hoboken! read more

3.5 stars Cool, quaint little cafe. I'll start by saying that it appears they are more geared toward the grab and go crowd (for breakfast, at least) despite their outdoor seating - seems that the area is meant for sitting down at after you've grabbed a coffee or food item. Clearly a family run shop - very friendly bunch, and my order was taken and served by what appeared to be the owner's daughter. Let me start with, although I didn't get any coffee, I am picky with that, and they advertise using only Lavazza - my favorite beans, so major plus. Now, being my first time here, I kinda pigged out to try different items. First, if you're into yogurt, definitely get their yogurt with granola and mango pulp ($5) - it's crazy fresh and a great value, I'd come back for that alone. I also got the salmon on naan with dill sour cream ($8). This was also delicious - the naan was also super fresh, coming out on the plate nice and warm. I will say that there definitely could've been more salmon with only two pieces on the naan - queue the "well it was only $8!" arguments. Yes I agree, great price, but I regularly get fat bagels stacked with much more salmon in the same price range - some food for thought (pardon the pun). Finally I got their peanut butter smoothie ($5) - this was OK, certainly not a highlight. Taste was light on peanut butter, and the smoothie itself was kind of watery. Service was pretty slow, and I wasn't told until I asked for a check some time later that you had to pay inside at their square terminal - no problem, just wish I knew. Also wasn't offered a water, which may have been because I ordered a smoothie (still would've liked one), but I didn't actually get the smoothie until I was finished my yogurt and salmon naan. I actually saw people walk in after I ordered my smoothie, and walk out with a smoothie of their own far sooner than I received mine. These are the points that made me realize it's more of a grab and go place. Don't mean to be picky, I'm sure some of my points seem that way, but as the first review I wanted to be honest and detailed. Would certainly return. read more

Visited today for the first time. Loved my to-go breakfast and latte. Super friendly people working... I look forward to seeing more often. There is not a coffee cafe nearby that I enjoy, so glad to have finally found this place. I wish it didn't take me a year to try. It can be my go to spot for the weekends now, yes! read more

Green Pear Cafe - Love how cute this is ... fall blankets on the chairs incase you want to sit outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Had no idea this place existed, but boy do I know now. Best cappaccino I've ever had, and the smoothie was unbelievable. The paninis were splendid and the decor was very nice! We will certainly be back soon!! read more

European style seating with very nice song selection. Really liked their Panini and Dosa (it's not a usual Indian Dosa)! Great service and must try Cremespresso. read more

Such an charming place, the owner was to polite to me and my family. the food was incredibly tasty. A great Gluten free place as well!

This is HOME! The owner, staff always welcome me with open arms and smiles!! The food is great! The place is very clean! The atmosphere has a POSITIVE energy flow!! !! read more

Great food/ coffee etc. worth the stop if close by, worth the journey if far. Definitely coming back again

This is an adorable little cafe a surprisingly large enough menu for a full brunch. We went in a group of 4 on Mother's Day. It is a family run business, and the son was our server. The food is very fresh and presented nicely. We were seated at a tiny little table and didn't really have enough room for all of our plates and food. This definitely made it a challenge to navigate the utensils and a couple bites landed on the floor because of it. I would recommend the dosas! The egg dishes looked good too, but the dosas are fun and fresh. And some of them have a lot of cheese which is always a good thing. Even though it was a busy day, the staff was very friendly. The service was extremely slow so even though we stayed past the time limit, they didn't kick us out. I would return here to have another dosa for sure. Those are a good amount of food for a reasonable price. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile as we live around the corner. My husband and I ordered a cappuccino and the Malibu juice, both were excellent. As a non-caffeine drinker I really appreciate that they offer all the coffee drinks in decaf. The juice was refreshing and delish! For breakfast we split the Primavera Dosa and a Nutella banana crepe. LOVED the pancake dosa, it was flavorful and something different. Both the crepe and the Dosa were light. My husband left a bit hungry, but it's not a 3 ft stack of pancakes type place so you can't go in expecting heafty portions. Overall it's a lovely little cafe. The only downside was that the air conditioner unit exhaust was blowing out the window right next to my head at the outdoor table. We're not talking a light breeze here, it was really blowing. Not the end of the world but I would certainly avoid that table next time. They should think about doing something to deflect or block that air. Def a must try!!! We will be back :) read more

Our original plan was to go to a restaurant on Washington Street, but it was closed. We found this place on Yelp and fell in love with it. It is my go to restaurant place in Hoboken now. read more

Was in the area looking for a brunch and bumped into this place. Was expecting the portions to be small but it turned out to be very generous! The pork sandwich was delicious and was served with plantain chips. Crepe was also very good. Definitely coming back read more

Great amazing smoothies! They use natural dates versus sugar which I love. I get the mango, coconut, coconut water, and dates smoothie amazing. My friend got a nut based one made with cashews, peanuts, and a few other ingredients it was very good considering I am not a huge nut person when I tried it. I love their smoked salmon on naan bread with dil. They have a great organic fresh menu and import a lot of their ingredients. Love this little cafe right in my neighborhood. For a person who works from home I love to pop in here to grab a late breakfast or lunch and to work for an hour or so on my wifi. When it is is nice out they have a few tables set up outside. Overall great fresh food, perfect neighborhood location, and a friendly staff! A favorite in my Southwest Hoboken which can be fairly limited in food options compared to other parts of town. It will continue to be a frequented place of mine as long as I live in this neighborhood. Keep up the good work! read more

Decided to try out a new spot and was pleasantly surprised. Had croissant, prosciutto and cheese with an iced coffee and really enjoyed. Sandwich was delicious! Croissant was especially delicious perfectly buttery and crispy at the same time. Enjoyed first visit so much decided to go again next day. This time tried the salmon with cream cheese and naan open faced sandwich. Again was very good! read more

Fantastic Family business, I go almost daily. Thank you for the great hospitality and addition to the neighborhood. Food is great, prices are excellent and a very charming atmosphere. Jeff read more

Decent food but nothing was super tasty to set them apart-menu options were interesting with an Indian twist on breakfast food but there are better options in Hoboken. Coffee was a bit burnt but overall not a bad meal. read more

Had a negative experience here. I went in on a weekend morning and there was maybe one customer seated in the back, but the place was otherwise empty. There were 6 employees or so shuffling around past each other in the long, narrow space behind the counter. It took 5 minutes for someone to take my order and then another 10 for me to get my order. All I ordered was a single bacon, egg and cheese croissant. It should not take that long. The portion size was lackluster at best. The croissant was toasted into a crusty death. The cheese was sprinkled over the sandwich at the very last minute and did not have time to melt, such that when I opened the sandwich, those string flakes of cheese (for the price, some nice cheese would have been better) just starting falling out. The price? $8. Total rip off. This place needs some serious help. read more

Terriblej customer service and food is mediocre. The place is cute but so small and they have tables that do not fit the space and people are crammed in. I kept hitting the person next to me because we were so close. read more

Love this little spot tucked away off busy Washington street. Delicious breakfast sandwiches and great lattes! Service is great! The seating area in the back is small, but I've never had an issue getting a seat. read more

Very nice food and very friendly staff, cozy place but perfect for grub food or drink. Love also get breakfast or also Sunday brunch

The worst place and a rude and disrespectful owner who is mean and a horrible person . Beware if you are taking your children there and plan to grab a coffee . She is arrogant and does not understand what customer service is all about . read more

I stopped by Green Pear Cafe with my friend and couldn't be any more happier! The food was amazing and it was also an amazing price! The dinner was a prix fixe menu and included a delicious soup, the main course which was amazing and a nice dessert! I will definitely be back! read more

Use to be a great cafe with great energy! Over priced with undisclosed price increases. The owner always charges me more than anyone else in the cafe with no valid reason. Stay away. Their system shows one price and she overrides with another. read more

I love everything about this place from the whimsically decorated tree outside to the warm staff and and DELICIOUS food inside! Very consistent in all areas. My favorite is the tuna on baked naan and arepas. Coffee and juices are wonderful as well. One of my my go-to spots for sure. read more

Boring.... bland and overpriced... my 2 year old can make better coffee using crusty Keurig ... never again

Went in today bought a coffee for $2.75 and they charged my card charged $10 went back to dispute it to get a refund but they refused to give me anything or acknowledge their mistake. He was rude and extremely unfriendly, no manager around. Beware of this bogus small coffee shop who's owned by a horrible and nasty woman. Wish I could give it 0 stars it does not even deserve the 1 star... read more

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
