Great spot- SUPER convenient location, reasonably priced, great coffee! Been here several times (non rush hours) and staff are always welcoming and accommodating. Gabby the manager is literally the bomb- I just LOVE her! Space is charming though I've never sat in before. I always see small groups of people there though, enjoying themselves. Decent food options. Small detail but super important for me- even though this is largely a coffee/beverage destination with small bites, they do have a toaster oven so if you get a croissant or something, they can warm it up nicely and you can enjoy it even more read more

There is simply no better place for a teeny tiny cafe then right off the path. Running to catch a train but oh wait you have 5 minutes? Latte. Just got off the path into Hoboken but can't think of the next thing you need to do until you get some caffeine in you? Americano! After some very brisk walks to catch a train I've popped in for a quick water bottle and even then I am grateful they are there. Baristas have always been fast and kind and the coffees I've gotten have hit the spot. They do have some chairs and tables in a covered section, but I would still only recommend for the grab and go type of drop in. Absolutely perfect for that but if you are looking to chill for a bit, there are cozier spots if you are up for the walk. read more

Unfortunately received stale pastries. I would try their hot drink but definitely not for the baked goods.

got a chocolate croissant and it's so stale and hard to eat. And there's the tiniest bit of chocolate inside

I stopped in here for the first time the other day, despite walking right past every morning. I wanted something quick to eat and I saw the banana bread in a basket on top of the display case. I asked where they get it from, and employee behind the counter said they make it! Omg it's the BEST banana bread ever. Super dense and gooey. It has best texture, it's not dry at all and it's not falling apart or crumbling out of your hand. It's truly delicious. 10/10 for the banana bread. I am looking forward to stopping in again and trying the coffee and something else. The employees were friendly and the service was quick. read more

Tyranny. Ordered an Americano with room for oat milk and get dinged for the oat milk. I get that (don't agree with it) for cappuccinos, but a splash in an Americano. Give me a break. Also - an undisclosed $0.25 surcharge for using a credit card for charges under $5. Yes, there's a little sign under the oranges, but how about a mention at the cash register? And finally - as we sat at the tables outside, the fake foliage got caught in the fan and landed on us. No big deal. No danger. But the staff? "Oh no. The decorations are falling." No apology no concern for us patrons. Rookie mistakes that could easily have been remedied with a smile and an apology. An opportunity lost. Little insignificant unimportant moments in the scheme of things. But I will get my coffee elsewhere. read more

The woman working was nice but that's the extent of it. I usually drink espresso straight. I enjoy the bitter taste and the strong intensity of espresso but the shot I got was really awful. I also bought the overnight oats with fresh fruit. I ate about half until I found an extremely long hair in the mix. I understand that can happen but...gross. read more

Visited this cafe before work and decided to get a hot chocolate. I got a small but there is a small and large option. The staff was very welcoming and nice. She was smiling the whole time which was great to see early in the morning. The hot chocolate tasted fresh, chocolatey, and of course HOT. Perfect for the cold weather. I love that the place is small. Seems homey and the Christmas decor is so festive and nice. Will try something else next time! read more

I'm a regular! I work in Manhattan and stop here nearly every morning on my way in. The location makes for a seamless stop on the way into the city. My usual order is a hot coffee with a bit of almond milk and sometimes their GF, V banana bread. Pastries are tasty, staff is friendly and gets orders out fast, coffee is, in my opinion, delicious and the best option in the area. Only reason I gave four out of five stars is the to-go cups. Without fail, the coffee leaks all over me. Somehow, the lid just deposits coffee all over my hands and jacket. I've never had this problem before. It's bad enough that it sometimes deters me from stopping there, even though I love the coffee. read more

Joboken Cafe - Joboken cup after an average subway ride. It's delicious but it leaks all over me. - Cafes Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

One of the best cold brews I've had. The banana bread was to die for. Nice quick service which is needed for a place near the train station. read more

I very few requirements for a good coffee place. Joboken hits all of them: great brews, fast service, and friendly staff. Im sure it gets crazy packed on the weekday but I fought 0 line on a Saturday and enjoying the heck out of the cold brew. Their prices are also on par for any coffee place in NYC for sure. I will be sure to come back as, insider tip, I rent cars out of Hoboken and will need a caffeine fix to accompany my drives. read more

The location is really convenient and it's the perfect place to pick up coffee in the morning before going to work. It is small, but really cute with outdoor seating. I ordered a small ginger-lemon tea and a chocolate croissant totaling to about $7, which is fair. I originally wanted the tea to be hot, but unfortunately the ginger lemon only comes in cold. The chocolate croissant was not toasted and honestly tasted average. I wish there were more food options, but for the small space, it can't be helped I guess. Adding something warm to the menu would be appreciated, especially with the cold weather coming up. This place is not AMAZING, but it's a cute and convenient cafe to grab a quick bite and drink before your commute. read more

the overnight oats are great, I am trying to change my diet and those oats help me In the morning.

Joboken is the cutest lil coffee shop with the cutest darn name. It is the perfect place to stop right before you hop on the path and head into work. The shop is small, but I have never experienced bad lines because the baristas are so good at getting your coffee to you asap. Skip the starbucks and head to Joboken!! read more

Andrea, the barista is simply amazing! Actually, the whole staff is super friendly! Every morning I look forward to grab my "Joboken" coffee and get on with my day! The spot is so convenient and the pastry is fresh as well! I feel like grabbing coffee from Joboken is a routine now and talk to Andrea who is always in a great mood and makes customers feel like she is your friend! Love love! read more

Terrible macchiato. It was so citrusy / acidic it made me shiver. I had to throw it away. Cool decor, I guess.

Two of us got iced Chai Lattes. We both took one sip and walked back in to ask if we could get something else. It looked and tasted like iced milk with sugar. Not a drop of flavor. The nice employee looked defeated as she answered my questions about how the Chai tea is prepared. She kindly made us two iced mocha lattes. I figured it HAD to have more taste as this was made with coffee. Nope! Completely tasteless, both of us could not taste any coffee at all. Hot milk with sugar. I didn't want to hassle the one employee again so we just tried to drink it, but didn't really enjoy it. To the owner of this business, are you selling coffee and tea, or hot milk? Either business is not doing well, and you cut back, or your drinks simply suck. Do you taste your own coffee's and teas? My friend is a barista, so it's not like we are uninformed on how chai and coffee lattes are supposed to taste. Maxwell House coffee is tastier than what you are serving. read more

I wish I could give this place better rating because the cafe is cute and the staff is very friendly. Location is convenient as well as it's right next to Path station. No room for seating unfortunately. The coffee is average. Pastries are decent. I felt like the prices were high for what they are serving compared to similar cafes in Manhattan. There are a couple of better options within 2 blocks of this cafe so I'll recommend those. read more

It was my first time there and I was extremely excited because I always walked past and it looked nice. I ordered a small hot chocolate and I was charged 4.25, it was a bit pricey but I still was excited. I got my drink and left and when I took a sip all I tasted was milk. I opened the cup and it was complete white, I've never seen white hot chocolate. I took a few more sips but all I tasted was hot milk. extremely disappointed read more

This cute little place is just right in front of the Path entrance in Hoboken. In my opinion the coffee is really good, but the sizes are small. read more

Banana bread and over night oats from Joboken Cafe are my to go breakfast on most days. Big fan of their coffee and creative signs on black board outside! read more

It's in a prime location so I had to try but I don't think I will try ever again. Their cappuccino was just unbelievably not tasty. Maybe it's just their milk or overall cappuccino making skills. There was literally no form. It tasted like a watered down coffee and some milk. read more

I am not sure why others really did not enjoy this place either. The simple, cute, chic decor. I tried their special drink and it was solid! The service is good from a friendly staff. I had a great experience at Joboken Cafe. read more

Amazing iced coffee! The cold brew is so refreshing and not the slightest bit acidic. The staff is friendly and prices are low too! Would come here daily if I lived closer. read more

I love trying new coffee shops and decided to visit this one today, but unfortunately experienced one of the worst iced coffees I ever had. I ordered the Nutella latte which is usually one of my favorite flavors but it tasted very poorly to the point where I couldn't drink it anymore. When ordering, I also asked for almond milk which I was charged extra for and I watched them pour regular milk into my coffee. Overall, not the best experience here. read more

Everyone is always smiling at this place, no matter what time you show up. Amanda is the best!

Great spot next to the path. The coffee is hands down one of the best in hoboken. Rather surprising considering the location but the lines are very reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

Very cute grab and go spot. I've been getting the hot matcha (hoping it warms up soon so I can try the iced version), tastes great and the service was super friendly. read more

Best coffee in town. Try the cold brew! This place is as authentic and convenient as it gets!

I love everything about this coffee shop. The staff is super friendly, the coffee shop is so clean, great location, and I LOVE my hazelnut latte with skim milk. Only thing is I wish they opened at 5am because I take the 538am train, nonetheless I'm always happy with coffee and the service read more

Just to start off, the location is prime for us commuters! Before this place opened the only other option for coffee right next to the path was Dunkin...need I say more... The coffee is of quality (the prices definitely reflect this), and the whole milk super creamy and delicious. I also love that the Small and Large sized teas are priced equally--I appreciate the honesty there (after all, water is free!). Would give 5 stars, except the coffee is never actually reasonably filled up to the brim (a pet peeve of mine as an ex-barista) and my espresso shot has been burnt a couple of times. Other than that, a great addition to our town! read more

Excellent coffee, no bs. Great food options. Music is great too. Makes me feel like I'm in a palace video. get the banana bread it's delicious. read more

Great Location! Great Service! Banana Bread is a must! Coffee is awesome! Easy in and out for commuters...and great little area with a few tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your cup of Joe. read more

The owner was rude and the coffee wasn't great. Wont be going back unless I'm desperate for a coffee before my commute!

I look forward to seeing Andrea and the rest of the very sweet friendly staff every morning. I'm always in and out in under two minutes and I like the homemade breakfast they offer, specifically the homemade seed/granola bar. Sometimes I go out of my way to come on weekends even though I don't need to go toward the path because the iced oat milk latte is that good & they always welcome my pup read more

Convenience is a big thing for me when it comes to cafes. Theres no indoor seating but i think thats intentional. Its there for us busy commuters who just need a cup on their way to the path and for that its perfect. Staff is also super, super sweet. Its an intimate setting and when you go there enough, the staff really gets to know you and how you take your coffee. Coffee isn't the absolute best but everything else is perfect. read more

Every morning I start my day with the banana flax seed bread. Today was by far the best yet, it is the perfect texture and moist. Although it is always very tasty, sometimes it is very dry. Keep making them just like today's batch on 01/04/2019. Thank you and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!! read more

It's a teeny tiny place, super cute and great espresso. Outdoor seating only. It looks like they're still working out a lot of the kinks and details, but I don't hold it against them. They're a great addition to my morning commute. read more

I don't buy coffee every morning. But every now and again I like to order a cappuccino. I'd prefer to support local instead of going to Starbucks when possible. This morning I tried Joboken. The workers are super friendly and pleasant. The cappuccino was $3.75 and the cup was about 30% smaller than the cup that you get from Starbucks, more like an espresso cup... my immediate reaction was disappointment. After discussing this with coffee aficionado friends (which I am definitely not) they suggested that this is probably because the coffee/milk is better quality and it's the correct ratio of coffee and milk. For me though, someone who doesn't really know the difference... I was bummed at the small size. If you're super into coffee and have the refined palate of a barista, good on you! You'll probably love it. The coffee is tasty for sure and they have Balthazars pastries which are excellent. The coffee cup sizes are "normal sized" so if that's what you want you're in luck. But for specialty coffee drinks, if you're not a coffee aficionado and prefer cup size over quality (lol so I've been told), you may get more bang for your buck elsewhere... read more
