One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience!

I do suggest small boxes for the donuts that have a whipped topping. I had an almond donut with a whipped topping and it was tricky to take out the bag without getting the cream lost inside. The Belgium bacon, egg and cheese was really tasty and filling. Eggs were cooked nicely, bacon was the perfect saltiness to it (but I did expect sliced of bacon not crumbled as it wasn't specified on the menu), I had the maple syrup on the side and I loved being able to just dip it when I wanted as opposed to having it mixed in the sandwich as it originally is made.

Please note, the pictures on Yelp are of their 2nd Street location. This one on Beacon Way was particularly difficult to find since Maps didn't navigate us to the front and this is actually in The Beacon apartment complex. We had to ask someone walking by to open the gate door for us, otherwise there's no way to get in. The Beacon Way location is very small; they occupy a small corner of the lobby. The Honey Lavender Latte was decent. There was a lot of lavender flavor which I appreciated, added sweetness from the honey, and boldness from the espresso. Not the best I've had but it did the job. Decent try but I would love to check out their 2nd Street location since it seems more spacious and proper.

Treehouse Coffee Shop is exactly the kind of local coffee spot I love discovering while traveling…read more I looked up a few cafés in the neighborhood and decided to give Treehouse a try, and I'm glad I did! I ordered the Iced Bee's Knees Latte , made with vanilla bean, honey, espresso, Himalayan pink salt, and my choice of almond milk. It was absolutely delicious! The flavors were well balanced, slightly sweet, and the hint of salt really made everything pop. I'd definitely order it again. I was hoping to grab a pastry with my drink, but unfortunately there weren't any gluten-free options available and the pastry selection seemed pretty limited overall. It was around 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday, so it's possible they had already sold through some of their offerings. The shop itself is small but incredibly cute . There are enough tables for maybe 8-10 people, which feels just right for this quaint Jersey City neighborhood. It's the kind of place where you can sip your coffee, read a book, or catch up with a friend without feeling rushed. Ordering is flexible since you can either use a Square self-order kiosk or place your order directly with the barista. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, so I opted for the kiosk. Service wasn't unfriendly, just a bit hands-off. The prices are a little higher than some other coffee shops in the area , but the quality of the drink was excellent, and I'm sure rent isn't cheap around here. Overall, Treehouse delivers on atmosphere and coffee quality. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood café and a great latte, it's definitely worth a visit.

The Iced Funfetti Latte is basically a dessert coffee drink. If that's what you're going for, this is a good one to get since they nailed it. It tastes just like a vanilla funfetti cake. It was too sweet for my liking, not super well-balanced, and I didn't care for the sprinkles on top. The syrup and cold foam ratio seems high for the size of the cup. Only the large iced cups have their cute logo on them; I wish they used it consistently across all their cups. If I come back, I'd get a classic latte or iced tea instead.
