Had a really bad experience. I walked in a few minutes late because of parking and the tall man with glasses decided to repermand me. I understand being late isnt right but there is no need to get angry at your guests and make a rude impression. 0 out of 10. Never Again. read more

This is the first and only time in my nearly 50 years that I have ever written an online review for anything. I just signed up on Yelp for this specific reason because I am so horrified. I am (or at least was, until today) a regular customer of this restaurant. I often order takeout via Grubhub. Today, I ordered the eggs Norwegian which is 2 poached eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. I paid several dollar extra for "organic" eggs. When it arrived, late and ice cold, I saw that I couldn't really find the eggs. On further inspection, I discovered that there was almost no egg at all. Not sure why, in moving my spoon through the sauce, I disovered that the eggs were not cooked. There was probably a 1 mm thick or less of barely cooked egg white - probably had been in a pot for 30 seconds max. No other cooked whites were visible. No yolks were visible. Instead, what was on the bread was a clear, liquid texture mess of raw egg whites and yolks. I am no expert, but I have always expected cooked egg whites and yellow, runny yolks. Furthermore, organic eggs have almost a yellow-orange color. There is no way they served me organic eggs. I put in a complaint through Grubhub, who called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, who gave his name as "Bob." I specifically wrote in my message that the whites of the raw eggs were the "consistency of a child's runny snot" and apologized for the graphic depiction. I confirmed that Grubhub read that description to Bob verbatim. Apparently Bob claimed the eggs were properly cooked, denied a refund and hung up on the Grubhub rep. I am writing to warn everyone to avoid this place because you will receive raw eggs and horrific service from management. I had to throw the order in the garbage. I wish I had been able to take a photo to show you of the snotty-looking clear eggwhite hanging from my fork but I was so taken aback and confident there would be no problem that I threw it out and it wasn't possible to get a photo. read more

The place is very cozy, cute and charming.Their omelette is delicious. However because the room is limited, there's high possibility that one should wait. read more

As a bit of a Francofile, I really had hoped that this cafe would fit the bill. It's charming, I like the rustic French country decor, and the staff is friendly. I love French crepes and looked forward to a very basic mushroom, ham and cheese crepe. The two Creperies in town both use the sweet batter for their savory crepes, which I find disconcerting , but they are basically fast food establishments and don't bill themselves as a French cafe. When the crepe came out and I saw that it too, appeared to be made out of white flour, and not buckwheat, I was disappointed. However, first taste lowered the bar even further! The crepe was too doughy, and fluffy, and tasted like it was made of Bisquick! Nearly as bad was that the mushrooms were clearly canned, and still cold as if they were thrown into the crepe straight from the can! There was virtually no flavor to the crepe. Crepes and Things has the consistency correct, and other than not using buckwheat flour, is far better, and three or four dollars cheaper. Sadly, I have no desire to give Le Cafe Bouche a second chance . read more

I literally created a Yelp account so I could give this business 5 stars. I had a small baby shower here and couldn't have been happier with the service I received. I was told that I had to have a minimum of 10 people in order to reserve the whole restaurant but this was no problem for me, given that I was having a party. I was able to do some light decorating around the place, but it's so cute as it is that I really didn't have to do much. The owner was very responsive and worked with me to create a very affordable menu and ensure all of my needs were met. She even allowed me to bring in alcohol for mimosas and provided orange juice as part of my package. The food was amazing (and plenty) and the servers couldn't have been more attentive. I will definitely be holding another event here in the future. Thank you Ezra and the staff a La Bouche for making the shower one to remember! read more

This restaurant sucks. They cancelled 1 day before the thanksgiving. And I could not move to other restaurants b/c it is too late. So, I and my girlfriend went to McDonald. This restaurant must shut down the business. read more

Small, French style cafe for good breakfast or lunch at reasonable prices. Reliably tasty food. Generous portions. Try the prosciutto omelet if you're in to meat. The wild mushroom omelette is very good to as a vegetarian option. Nice people, good service. Comfortable, neighborhood ambiance. No alchoholic beverages. read more

Every time I come here something always gets messed up with my order. It's a tiny spot with unfriendly staff and unfortunately an overall sloppy dining experience. The only option is to get a coffee and pastry to go....pass on dining in. read more

Came here with friends for dessert, specifically waffles. We settled on the Belgium waffles and had all the toppings (Nutella, bananas, strawberries, chocolate sauce). Later we found out that the chocolate sauce costed an extra $0.50. Had we known earlier we wouldn't have wanted that. Anyway, the waffles arrived shortly and initially we were baffled about the Nutella presence. It was actually on the bottom piece of waffle and not evenly distributed on every piece. The waffle was dry.... But the toppings especially Nutella made up for the dryness. Would have appreciated it being covered with some maple sauce! Probably won't return as the place is super tiny and food is just average. read more

La Bouche - Belgium waffles - French Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Really nice atmosphere and great coffee, I thought the meal was going to be pretty lovely. Croque monsieur was a little weak, 2 slices of ham maybe, it really emphasized the walnut bread, which was a nice treat. My partner was alright with her dish, the beni, and the appetizer was alright, a pear crostini. The staff was friendly and dressed le cute and alla that. You kind of have to ask yourself what you expect from a french cafe, and this place may fit it if your into southern France. So it was 3 stars, till the macaroon came into play. Get the macaroon, get the coffee, let the dates rock the tables. The staff busts tail. read more

The first time I came here I was pleased with my order so I went there again today. I'm not sure if it was the owner or manager, but I'm pretty sure she yelled at a worker because she exchange something I had gotten. I didn't know whether to say something but the chocolate cake was not only expensive, but it tasted so bad. The worst thing I've tasted in my life.... I changed it for a carrot cake and I'm sure that made the owner/manager mad. I felt so bad... Also while I was eating, they decided to mop the place, which I found kinda disrespectful because it wasn't like they were just opening or closing. They could have waited until we left since there was no one around... I felt like a disturbance versus a customer. Needless to say I don't think I'll be going back again. PS: I'm sorry to the girl that I might have gotten in trouble. I didn't mean to. read more

One of the cutest places in the universe, great ambience, great music, super confortable, scones and chocolate mud are top of the notch and Revna is adorable. We recommend this place to all our friends and of course we'll be back. read more

Very nice local neighborhood cafe. Not a lot of seating; probably nice to sit outside when the weather is good. The goat cheese panini with prosciutto and apricot jam is delicious. I really like goat cheese and appreciate that is it is evenly spread across the sandwich so that you taste it and the other flavors in every bite. We also had a chicken and mushroom crepe, which was only so-so. The crepe was more like a pancake; generous with ingredients, but not much flavor. read more

My wife and I ate brunch here (mid-week). I had a Greek omelet and my wife had calamari over arugula with cheese. Both plates were very well done. Friendly and attentive service. Nice atmosphere. read more

been here twice before and will definitely keep coming back! they have perfect brunch dishes, that aren't too heavy but perfectly filling! the norwegian and avocado toast both come with eggs that i usually get runny, which honestly makes the entire dish plus it's BYOB, which is always a good thing read more

30 minutes and counting still don't have my mushroom omelette. They did bring my husband's dish, but no silverware....trying too hard to be French...hopelessly America diner tasting brunch. 3 waitresses could not keep track of around 15 tables, not sure if the lack of any smiles is due to the overwhelming tasks at hand, pompous imitation of French demeanor or general poor service .... will not return. read more

The food is alright, nothing to write home about. Prices are fair and the service is alright. Good for a coffee and crossiant.

Worst place. You will be completely forgotten, with exception when they have to bring your food. I guess they don't want me to pay I had to go to the register myself after 20 minutes and I seriously timed it myself as it was already ridiculous from the beginning. It was my turn at the register and the lady who looks like the owner just kept on reconciling her bills with disregard that I was there in front of her, so I had to interrupt and apologized that I don't want to be rude but I it has been 30 minutes after the lady took my plates, and I need to pay my bill. No apology was returned and the waitress who came at the register, just played it off that I left and she thought I paid the bill. What a liar. This place just messed with my morning. read more

I'm still pleasantly wired from the delicious, fresh, strong cup of Cafe Americain from this delightful new French cafe. Not only is the coffee good and strong, but the Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Omelette w/ Dill is out of this world....so flavorful, delicate, delicious. It comes with Balthazar french bread and olive oil....seriously amazing. Charming space, very homey. Will surely return. read more

Great place for breakfast! I got the eggs Benedict and it was delicious, my friend got the French toast and it was very good as well. The ambiance is great! They served the check in a cute vintage looking box which I thought was really cute and original. The waitress was very attentive. I have no complaints about this cafe, absolutely recommend it! read more

True French food. Focus on lean meats and veggies with delicious dressings. Friendly staff and cute environment - and best of all, multiple menu options that were gluten and dairy free! I had the Niçoise salad with added bacon and tea. read more

This place has absolutely delicious food especially the brunch. The eggs are light, fluffy and filling. However, their big situation is out of control. Gnats and flies swarm you as soon as you sit inside or outside. It's gross to sit here and eat your breakfast amongst the bugs. If they're bad in the dining area, I shudder to think what it's like in the actual kitchen. read more

The place is cute, and good music (instrumental jazz), but they need to work on their coffee. I ordered an iced coffee (not rocket science), and I took two sips. It watery, flavor-less, and not nearly as flavorful as it should be. At $2.50 for an ice-filled regular-sized glass, I would have hoped for more. I see that they've gotten good reviews for their food, but I'm skeptical of places that don't have the basics of coffee down-pat. Can't wait to find a high-quality, locallly-owned coffee shop with a good study atmosphere so I can stop selling out at Starbucks. Alas, that's where I'm headed as soon as I'm paying for my un-touched iced coffee. read more

I just had lunch at this place for the first time and I am so in love with it! It's cute, cozy and just a little bit NYC trendy. I had the Goaty Panini (turkey, goat cheese, apricot preserves, peaches). The turkey meat wasn't your standard deli-sliced turkey--it was think cut and probably cooked there. In any case it was delicious. The flavors worked really well together. I also had a cup of coffee and it was very good. What I like so much about this place is that it's different from the standard Hoboken fare. It's the kind of place that you can go to by yourself and read a paper. The decor is cute and comfortable. And the food (omelettes, crepes, etc.) is exactly what you want it to be--well priced, interesting, simple, yet creative. This is a perfect place to meet friends for brunch. Please go here! This is the kind of place that needs to stick around. read more

I found La Bouche through Yelp, only 2 blocks from my apartment and had never discovered it before! What a cute little café-like place for some yummy breakfast. I came in with one friend, and we both ordered an omelet and coffee. There were cakes in a display case that looked homemade, and the décor around the place was like a little French café. It was fairly priced, and I will definitely be back. I heard somebody come up to the front and order food to go as well, so as cute as it is to dine-in, also have take out options as well! read more

Automatic 5 stars - because this place shares a name with one of the greatest one-hit-wonders of all time. Deducted a star for service - I thought everything was generally pretty slow. Also deducted a star because my panini had only a little bit of meat/cheese/spinach on it. I was hoping for a bit more. It tasted good, but it was a bit weak for a panini. I did, however, try my friend's iced hot chocolate - AMAZING! It was my first taste of this chocolatey goodness and I absolutely love it now. Adding one star back on for cute decor and comfy seating. Great local spot for breakfast - stick to eggs or something like that. read more

Crap. Went here after Hurricane Sandy. Paid $8 for an egg sandwich on whole wheat toast. Unfortunately, I went here because only they and Anthony David's were open and I live downtown. The sandwich was really crappy and I can only suppose they gouged the sandwich price since nobody would consistently pay that price for the low quality product. Will never go here again. Walking 8 blocks for breakfast tomorrow... read more

Came here for brunch. My croissant egg and cheese is good, but my wife's jalapeno mushroom omelet has all the mushroom in one half and all the jalapenos in the other half, making the jalapeno half way too spicy. read more

Delicious spicy wild mushroom omelette with mixed greens, avocado and the best potatoes I've ever had. Cute French vibe cafe with outdoor seating. The only thing missing was a mimosa! read more

Truly mediocre. I had the smoked salmon crepe. Salmon was too fishy, eggs were rubbery. Only saving grace was the field greens and the coffee. Ambiance is cute but service is awful. Will not go back unless I do a takeout coffee. read more

Okay, so I finally tried this spot out for lunch. It's cute and tiny with decent service but the food left much to be desired. I went solely to try their white onion soup. Whoa, hold up. What did I just eat? It was a gross gloppy mess. Yes, you read that right. Gloppy. I hate peppercorn. Hate. And yes, it's in there. There were cold spots. They obviously nuked it. That was what finally killed it for me. French cafe with terrible onion soup? No thanks. Next! Prosciutto Panini - It was just okay but my partner liked it. Maybe the prosciutto was too thick. It came with a little side sald. Yes, it was disgusting. Some of the leaves were brown and wilted. Bland and gross. All you need is some fresh lettuce and good olive oil to keep us happy. Pastries are solid because they outsource them from Bouchon Bakery and Balthazar. Coffee was excellent. Will not be back to dine here but may stop in for some coffee. read more

Love the decor and the space. Small personal little cafe. I ordered the Eggs Norwegian and an iced coffee. Both were delicious. My only complaint is that they sprinkled paprika on my eggs. I've ordered eggs Norwegian at many places since it is one of my favorite brunch options and have never had this. As someone who doesn't enjoy spicy flavors I wish they would have asked if I wanted paprika sprinkled on top. It wasn't written on the menu as one of the ingredients and I personally don't think paprika goes with eggs Benedict. I do know a lot of people enjoy spicy flavors, so I just wish it was an option they asked about. I was able to wipe most of it off, and it ended up being amazing! read more

I came to this cafe looking for a quaint place to have brunch with my girl friends. I live uptown and had passed the place a couple times and checked out the menu before. I was really impressed by the menu-- there were all the classic breakfast items like eggs, omelets and Belgian waffles-- they even had sweet and savory crepes. I was excited for what seemed like a European-style menu (I mean it was called La Bouche, we felt like we were going to a delicious French place). 'We were disappointed to say the least. The food just...wasn't good. I have made simple omelets at home that were light years better than their omelet's. It's an omelet for cryin' out loud, it's not that hard. Two of us had omelets-- I ordered a mushroom and cheese (with egg whites) which I asked for with spinach. I got a mixed vegetable omelet with no cheese and it was not made of egg whites. That's fine-- there's nothing bad about a mixed veggie omelets. Except for the fact that the omelet looked more like terrible, grey scrambled eggs in the shape of an omelet. Fine again-- looks can be deceiving. So I ate it. It tasted really bad. It just tasted like very poorly done eggs (almost under cooked), and there was no seasoning (like they forgot salt and pepper). I tried to finish it but physically could not (neither did my friends). My friends ordered a Chorizo and cheese omelet (sounds awesome right??) and sausage crepes. The eggs were the same as mine, strangely scrambled, and the color was neon orange. We were all very confused. The crepes seemed like they would be the winner, but they looked like they were made by someone who had never seen a crepe before in their life. And validated by the friend who had them-- they were nothing special and extremely greasy--Just like the sides of potato we all had that were extremely bland! BOTTOM LINE: The menu looks like it would be great place to have a leisurely brunch, but it's not! I never write reviews, but I felt I had to share this since the disparity from what I expected for downtown Hoboken, and what I actually had were so incredibly disparate. I could think of giving it 3 stars I GUESS, since the food didn't have dead insects or something in it, but that would be generous. Not only that they got my order wrong and the service was, EH. Don't support terrible food that has a front of being good because of --just make some eggs at home or go to a diner. read more

Cute small cafe. The food was OK, it wasn't that great. Not as impressed as I wanted to be!

I really want to love this place - great location, cute interior, great outdoor seating...but that's where it ends. The food is just bland. I was not impressed with their granola/fruit/honey (honey is a kraft packet?), and their eggs are microwaved. If I'm paying these prices, I expect some real cooked food. read more

not the best or the worst. their french onion soup seems like it's blended cause it's thick and not what I expected but it is pleasant. I haven't been back since the first time I went over a year ago.. nothin to rant and rave about read more

This place has a cozy atmosphere and the staff is really nice, but the food wasn't that great. I had a panini and asked for no mushrooms. I guess to them that means "add all of the mushrooms in the kitchen in this girl's sandwich". There was one couple that order their food before me and my meal took 20 minutes. Don't think I'll be going back there. read more

Adorable cafe. Reminds me of little places in Paris. I had the smoked salmon omelet, which was delish. Only negative was the slowish service. read more

My wife and I come here about once a week for the organic and healthy food options. The place is charming and always has a refreshing and relaxing ambiance. If you are in the neighborhood, you will not be disappointed! read more

Went here for Sunday brunch a few weeks ago, for the first time hoping to have found a local "go-to" French bakery/bistro. Unfortunately, my hopes were quickly shattered. The food is mediocre at best, the service is horrible and the rudeness is above and beyond even French standards ;-) First the food, every dish we ordered came out at different times. So I had my entrée for 10 minutes, before the entrees of the other people in our party were brought over ( also 5 minutes apart). The crepe is by no way anything special or "French". The side "salad" was a few pieces of droopy lettuce. The waiter screwed up both our drink orders and the entrees. At this point with the confused look on his face, there was no point in pointing out the error as it would only lengthen our misery! We just wanted out!! When we asked questions about the menu and the specials, the waiter had no idea and would go behind the counter to ask. A shrug of the shoulder and confused look were common with all the employees here. Too bad...we had such high hopes for this place, but will definitely not be returning. read more
