    $6.30 for a cup of ice latte. Expensive!!!  Outrageous they charged for the cup and less ice?!?!?!
    Victor H.

    It seems customer service is not at their top of their list. These barista give $#!T faces and are unwelcoming. Once i came to the counter to order they dont bother to say hi and they dont walk you thru any add ons pricing on their products. I came here and orderd an ice latte with less ice. I looked at the price menu and there was nothing saying about add on pricing. When I received the product I was charged for extras: * 0.5 for less ice, are you serious?!?! * 0.25 for single use cup, who does this?!?! I politely asked for an explanation and that they should give heads up before moving forward and charge the customer. The barista didnt care, turned around, and completely ignored me. I was completely speechless! Other places would have been apologetic and would try to make it up for you, this place didnt even bother and ignored the customer as your business is quite insignificant Definitely not the place to come for coffee when you could take your money to another place. For the ice latte with less ice it cost me $6.30, see picture. You could take that to go to Starbucks or any other franchised place and cost you less and better service Terrible service from Modcup!!! Not coming back again!

    Hot latte

    My son wanted to share his favorite coffee shop with me! Loved my latte! Flavorful and nice and hot! You can purchase coffee beans to go! There's a series of coffees with fruit maceration! Like coconut or passion fruit! You get a fruity taste with your coffee! Hot and cold coffee drinks available. You can purchase on site or on line. Liked the decor! Friendly Staff! Caffeine & Dreams!! Looking forward to returning!

    Great local chain, 4 locations from what I could tell. Very knowledgeable on coffee roasts with plenty to purchase including rarer roast vacuum sealed and imported. We got the seasonal cinnamon toast crunch latte not pictured but lined with Graham crackers on the rim of the cup. Sweetened with honey so very true to the core of a solid latte with focus on artistry. My latte is pictured with apple butter syrup. It really felt like fall in an apple orchard. The only only only thing I'll say is both of our lattes were not hot enough upon us being handed them immediately and drinking them. Just a tip, maybe let them know you like a very hot drink. Milk might not be getting steamed at a hot enough temp for most preferences. Or at least mine. Smooth extraction, great latte, highly recommend! Vibe check...check!!!

    Loved the vibe of this place. Super chill & interesting mix of color patterns. Nice place to work on a weekday afternoon. Coffee was delicious too- try their gingerbread dirty chai latte.

    4.5* This place surprised me so much, in the best way possible! It's kind of off the beaten path a few blocks away from the Journal Square PATH station. The inside of the store is decorated SO beautifully, the ambiance is absolutely stunning. I ended up ordering a cold brew with whole milk & vanilla syrup. Their vanilla syrup is TRULY unique because I've *never* tasted anything like it before, really good coffee honestly! They also DO sell some pastries in the front as well, a small selection but something none the less. I overheard one of the staff members saying they get it delivered fresh in the morning which is awesome. They also have such a nice seating area; I decided to stay for a bit and read and the vibes were great! All in all, great coffee spot & would definitely recommend

    Staff are super friendly but it seems like they're training someone new. Our lattes took awhile, even though there weren't any orders. The lattes came out a bit messy--spilled milk onto the saucer and just a bit of a mess on top. But they weren't overly steamed and the milk was still sweet.

    This spot is adorable and the barista is so knowledgeable. The coffee is strong, distinct and delicious. Definite staple.

    You know you're in the right place when they have this!

    Doesn't get better then this. Ethiopian guru's, the best beans you can find. My only critique, which is a personal one is to use a 17:1 vs 15:1.

    One of the best-kept secrets of Jersey City I guess. Love the coffee here, service very friendly and warm and the ambience is just amazing. It's a shame we can't dine-in during covid, would love to come here again.

    Just updating my drinks. Again, I don't recall the name of the drinks but here you are!

    What a trip! Smooth, but like.... Finishes on a heap jolly rancher note
    Rachel R.

    ModCup is the best! Delicious coffee, wonderfully kind humans, what more could you ask for? The Classico coffee is the perfect morning cup of joe :) and the "Balearic Beans" is the most far out coffee I've ever tasted. It finished on a grape jolly rancher note. Wtf! Yum!

    Totes empty Prtty n Pnk ... it's that delish

    Great coffee. Cool vibe and decor. This place is a little hidden and not many people know about it. I wish they stayed open later.

    Decent coffee in a cute shop. They seem to focus more on the hipster decor than the menu but it's a cool hangout spot.

Sometimes it's hard to find a seat because it gets crowded, but that's just me, because you can meet new people or run into old friends.

    I have been frequenting this place for years, & the food & service is good, but the amount of…read morepeople that sit at tables for an extended amount of time has gotten completely out of control. Monticello Ave has turned into a ghost town in regard to food choices. Customers are buying one coffee here & taking up a table for four using their laptops for hours on end working. I love their whitefish salad & have had to walk out several times before ordering because there is literally not one seat available on 2 floors!! I spend an average of $30 every time I go in, & someone who purchased a tea 3 hours ago is taking up 4 seats. What caused me to write this review today was the actual "Cuddle Puddle" that was taking place on the couch this afternoon right in front of the register. Three people with no food or drinks were snuggling & playing on their phones without one crumb of food or even an empty drink cup in front of them. There was also a woman holding up a table for 4 while going outside to take business calls on her phone. Is this WeWork or a coffeeshop? Put a time limit on the tables, & no one should be treating this place like their parents living room to take a nap in the free air conditioning. Oh & to the staff member that called me "Sir" today- I am a woman. This whole experience was so uncomfortable I will get my whitefish from Wonder Bagel moving forward.

This…read morecharming coffee shop, which opened about a year ago, has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The kids' play area is a fantastic touch for families, and the staff couldn't be more friendly or hospitable. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners during one of our visits, and they were wonderful. Everything we tried was excellent, including the hot chocolate, vanilla protein cold brew, and the cappuccino. I also really enjoyed the croissant, and the rest of the baked goods looked just as tempting. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I ordered the Iced Vanilla Protein Cold Brew, and my mom went with the French Velvet Latte (lavender and vanilla). Both drinks were delicious and well-balanced. The French Velvet in particular had a lovely floral flavor without being overpowering. My only complaint is that it felt a bit small for the price. Our group also picked up a few croissants, and everyone enjoyed them. They leaned more sweet than savory, which isn't usually my preference, but they were still tasty. The drink menu offers plenty of variety, though the pastry selection is fairly limited, and the pastries aren't baked in-house. The real standout here is the vibe. Call Me Mia is quaint but incredibly chic. The decor feels thoughtfully curated, with vintage telephones displayed in elegant frames, antique teapots, moka pots, and other charming touches throughout the space. It feels cozy, stylish, and very Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. As for service, the barista was efficient and knew what he was doing, but he came across as a bit short and matter-of-fact. Not rude, just not particularly warm or welcoming. Still, the drinks were excellent, so he definitely delivered where it mattered most. Overall, I'd happily stop back for another coffee and to soak in the beautiful atmosphere. If you're looking for a stylish coffee shop with creative drinks, Call Me Mia is worth a visit.
