Visiting daughter discovered this lil gem! Great coffee and service. My go to for Java

The young male barista working there clearly does not want to be there. He was in no rush and seemed bothered to take anyone's order. By the time it was my turn, I asked what was in the Harvest Moon latte (a limited edition holiday option) and he replied with such an attitude saying "I literally couldn't tell you if I wanted to." HUH?? Whether he didn't know or didn't care, this bothered me even more than his overall demeanor as it was. I asked for a regular latte instead, but so much for trying to offer customers a festive drink when your staff doesn't even know what it is either. The latte was also, just okay. Update: the comment on this review by the business owner requested I update my review in exchange for not firing the barista. This is not my intention and any adverse action towards an employee needing feedback I do not condone. I have a better understanding now of why he may have been unhappy working for an establishment like that. read more

This coffee shop is located in an apt/condo complex on the corner across the street from ShopRite. I stopped in while I was waiting on a friend to arrive in town. The person working was friendly. I ordered an iced coffee with cold foam and an almond croissant and sat outside on a little table and chair. Both items were tasty but nothing incredible. The inside is small but there is a decent amount of seating and the ambiance is clean and welcoming. read more

Jefferson's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

We did not try any pastries. My latte was decent! I ordered a latte with cookie butter cold foam. My husband had to wait a while for his coffee. He got his about 5 minutes after mine. They made the following party's coffees before his which was a bit odd but we didn't fuss. Decent vibe inside, pretty colorful. Love the seating in the windows. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I will give them another try next time we are in Hoboken because I have always heard good things and almost everywhere I look someone is holding a Jefferson's coffee cup. read more

This coffee shop is my recent favorite! The coffee is good and the staff is super friendly. I recommend Jefferson's Coffee to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. I stopped in today for the first time and was surprised by the quality of the coffee. The barista was so friendly and welcoming, and the coffee was some of the better ones I've ever had. I will definitely be back! read more

Really cute place with a wide variety of coffees. I had their iced latte, was delicious and I felt instantly refreshed. The staff at counter was professional, accommodating and the service was quick. There were folks reading a book and chilling, wish I could do that. Overall would highly recommend this place, I enjoyed my experience. read more

Great coffee, yummy snacks, and basically designed for you to comfortably set up shop and get some work done. As I recently started working from home more, Jefferson's has quickly become my favorite place to bring my laptop and actually do work. They only have three tables but they have extension cords between each seat so you don't have to awkwardly run your chargers under someone else's feet. I've gone several times and, although there isn't a tone of seating, there has always been a table available. It might just be because they are a pretty out of the way coffee shop. While most people will walk over to one of the more popular places on 1st St or Washington Ave, I've loved being one of the only people in this tiny little shop all the way down on 10th and Madison. Their coffee is delicious and pretty affordable for Hoboken at only $3 for a large cup of either hot or cold. I've had both their hot coffee and their cold brew and I'd vouch for either. Their snacks range from fresh fruit to banana bread to gluten free treats. They even have different kinds of candies like green tea kit kats (my weakness). It's a small little shop but it does the trick whether you are looking for a place to hang out at for awhile or are just looking for a pick me up on your walk home. read more

The coffee here is usually good. Inconsistent though. They will change the coffee beans on you and not tell you lol. Different flavors. Some of the sugar free flavor options are nice but very light in taste, as in you can't even tell some of them are in your coffee. I like the matcha latte here. I also like that they have dairy free alternatives including macadamia nut milk! Just a little costly. Customer service is usually pretty good. If there's a line you're going to wait since it's one person making all the drinks. They have some snacks available too and sometimes free samples. read more

I love the cold brew and nitro here. Legit one of the best coffee around however the almond croissant was very disappointing and did not compliment my coffee at all. I wish their pastries were up to par like their coffee. Hell yeah to coffee, hell nah to croissant. Picture shown, is nitro. It's a must have. read more

Back in December I sent an email with a complaint, hoping it could be handled privately without posting anything publicly. I never received a response. I went back to Jefferson's last week and unfortunately I had the exact same issues that I had mentioned in the email, which let me know that no one there reads the emails. My coffee was made incorrectly and with visibly dirty equipment. It was undrinkable. So I decided that I would copy & paste my email here in hopes that improvements can be made, since this *used to* be my favorite coffee shop. The unanswered email: I have been a long time patron of Jefferson's on Madison St so I write this with the kindest regard. For the last few months I have been disappointed by the lattes I have ordered as well as the customer service I've been receiving. I have visited Jefferson's on Madison St between one and three times a week for the past four years, and I have never been served a bad latte until recently. Unfortunately after my last visit, I'm going to have to call it quits for now. For the cost of the product, I would expect more expertise. I have no problem paying for good coffee and I do understand the times we're in with the pandemic and also the rising cost of beans during a worldwide coffee shortage, however, I cannot justify after receiving only undrinkable lattes for the last few months. I have had a barista on Tuesday & Thursday mornings who oddly pulls shots into the steam jugs with the flavor shots inside and then whisks them before pouring in the milk, and then heavily stirring again. This turns the espresso extremely bitter and leaves a metallic after taste.. I have never experienced this method before. I have noticed the few times a new employee begins working, there is never anyone there training or guiding them and I worry that it's affecting your product. At my last visit, unfortunately, another barista used dirty equipment to make my drink. The espresso machine was not wiped down or purged and the shot glasses had leftover crema from previously made drinks. The milk is never steamed properly, it is either scorched or too cold. I only write this in hopes an owner or manager is able to make appropriate changes before visitors start to leave public negative reviews. I would love to return to my morning ritual of Jefferson's on Madison before work, but as of now, I will have to put a hold on that. read more

I grabbed Pistachio vanilla latte this morning here. I was studying eating it and I had to write comments! I appreciate this cafe has the coffee. There are a lot of options I can choose. It's only the place in Hoboken I can get Pistachio vanilla latte which is one of my favorite. I'm gonna try Lavender vanilla latte next time. Love you Jefferson!! read more

Love the iced coffee here! 1) happy that they offer regular iced coffee as so many small places like this have begun of offer only cold brew which I don't love. 2) hazelnut is my favorite and they do it well. Many places taste too sugary/syrupy but it's just right here! 3) very accommodating - one time I got home and realized my coffee was missing the hazelnut so I stuck it in the fridge to go back in the afternoon when I was going out anyway, and they apologized and gave me a whole new one. read more

Excellent coffee. Really nice staff. Ability to sit indoors and outdoors. There's nothing not to like about this place. I just went here twice in the last week for coffee. Both times my drink was expertly made (I only had to tell them once, despite my requests/customizations, and it was dead on both times). The second time we came (earlier today) they had huge samples out (like a 4th of an almond or chocolate croissant), which were super good. My favorite thing is that they have cape cod chairs outdoors so you can chill and sit underneath the trees on a nice day! read more

Great coffee, strong and delicious. Being particular but just wish they offered more savory food items lolll but really enjoyed their zucchini cake and banana bread also! read more

Solid coffee shop in a part of town that doesn't have a lot of gourmet coffee shop options. It's a place that'll craft your drink with care. This isn't Starbucks, so don't expect to walk in and walk out immediately. But, somehow, you're okay with that. It's about the quality of drink you're going to get. If you are in a rush you can always pay and grab a regular coffee. Which is always a good roast as well. Not many food options but that's not why you come here. Croissants, cookies and assorted pastries and a cup of coffee are a great way to start the day if you're in this neck of the woods in Hoboken. read more

I doubt the Owner know that his lazy employees close early most of the time. We try to go and have a hot cocoa and there's usually a sign taped to door that says "we are closing early today". I ask "why" and the girls always say "just because". Done with this place. There are plenty of other options in Hoboken. read more

I'm at literal loss for words with this shop. I didn't think it was possible to be so disappointed with a simple order of two cold brews and a pumpkin spice latte. I came in on the basis of the good reviews expecting a great coffee and left with a cold brew that tasted like toothpaste and sugar. My friend literally thought we gave him a cup of pepsi. How is this place real? The pumpkin spice latte left a chalky taste in my mouth and had...zero pumpkin. Amazing. I would probably be more satisfied getting gas station coffee. read more

In hidden spots throughout Hoboken you'll find good coffee spots that only a coffee drinker can appreciate. While chain stores like Starbucks and DD are always reliable if given the opportunity why wouldn't you want to support a local business that specializes in all things good coffee. Located on the corner of Madison St. across from Shoprite you'll find this great coffee spot. The theme (if you didn't catch it already) is inspired by Thomas Jefferson. Inside you'll find about 3-4 tables to sit, relax, and catch up on some reading while examining some of the Jefferson memorabilia stuff they have to offer. For regular cups of coffee it is self serve. You can find all the necessary add-ons such as milk and creams in the fridge near the sugar etc. If you're a latte person like myself you can get yourself a hot/iced nice size cup for $4.50 ($5 for a large). Every time I've come I have never been disappointed in my brew. I may slightly be sometimes when I don't get to the fresh baked goodies (limited supply) they have daily but the good tasting latte makes up for it. Add Jefferson's to your local coffee spot and I promise you won't regret it! read more

My "Thank You Thursday" goes to Jefferson's Coffee. Very friendly service and great espresso.

I went there around 8am. The service was rude and the coffee was overpriced -the self serve -large coffee from the pot was $3.. not warm enough.. very disappointing I just updated my review on google after I got the comment from this place saying I wasn't there not on the camera which is completely a lie. Please do not go if you want to have a good cup of coffee without drama. read more

If you're like me and mostly interested in a good cup of coffee, then Jefferson's Coffee is worth a visit. Their small java is $2 and it is delicious! Always two varieties to choose from each morning. The staff is always smiling and friendly. The space is ok, some small tables and chairs. A couple of outdoor seats are there for nice days. The food offerings are limited, mostly croissants and muffins. read more

Great service, coffee, and general vibe. We had an Americano, a cappuccino, and split a slice of walnut zucchini bread. All were perfect. I am so picky with my coffee. This is my daily stop from now on. Nice design, perfect team. Thank you guys! read more

This amazing lil coffeshop on the corner across the street of shoprite is a perfect place to unwind and have an amazing cappuccino or coffee.

Jefferson's Coffee - Awesome! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I like this place but when I see dogs sitting on benches that's when I stop coming. I like pets but seriously the belong outside or at lease on the floor inside and better be well trained. The owners obviously don't say anything so be warn, you could be sitting where a dog just licked itself. Hope some of you are not allergic to dogs. This whole "service dog" to me has gotten out of hand. Well, sorry but I'll go to places where it's clear NO DOGS ALLOWED" read more

We love their coffee and food! However, the hours say they open at 7am and we have now had several instances of getting there after that time and it still being closed.
