Almond Croissant
Nikko A.

Steven's Cafe is the best coffee shop around. The almond croissant is out of this world and taste like a pastry made out of some fancy European bakery. The almond past filling is insane and I would eat this every day if I could. Now when it comes to coffee, you cannot beat the iced caramel macchiato. The staff is always super friendly and the cafe is super clean and a great place to relax and chat over coffee and a pastry. Grab some Steven's cafe next time you're walking by the river walk!

Once again Steven's get it wrong. Ordered a bagel toasted dark with cream cheese. Not toasted. I dont understand how one place could be so bad all at once. Its continual. Second time today they screwed up an order which i why i am putting in two reviews. Not only overpriced, low quality food - but the level of ssrvice continues to fall short.

This place was just ok. The ham and cheese croissant sandwich I had was the best part. The bagels tasted like nothing. The latte was just OK. Nothing special. Barely any espresso. Service was ok. The branding and decor were just ok.

Super hot inside with somewhat slow service. 1/3 macarons was stale. They don't tell you that credit cards carry a 3% surcharge fee, and that cash use is encouraged. Food was just okay, but definitely not worth the price. Protein smoothie (Almond Joy) tasted chalky with synthetic vanilla protein flavor added in. Overall an expensive mistake and a no.

Dulce de leche frappuccino and macarons (strawberry inside drink, pistachio  earl grey and caramell)

You can't beat the view! The pastries and drinks are also pretty good with many selections. They have outdoor seating or indoor and are situated next to a real estate agency for luxury homes in the area. We need more little places like these here!

Stopped here for dessert and a glimpse of the city view one night after dinner. The staff was super friendly and we stopped by about an hour before closing. We got a hot chocolate and a decaf cappuccino. The cappuccino tasted like pure water to me, not very good. The hot chocolate was alright, tasted powdery. Nothing special really. We also got some treats. They have bags of popcorn out with fun flavors. I got a fruit medley flavor and that was delicious. (Low calorie too!) I also got 4 macaroons and 2 eclairs. I got the Nutella and my boyfriend got just regular vanilla creme. He wasn't too thrilled with his and I thought mine was actually pretty good. The Nutella creme was great, the nuts on top were fresh and crunchy. The macaroons fell super short for me. The actual treat itself was baked perfectly, perfect size but the flavors just weren't there at all. The pistachio was bland, the strawberry poppy actually tasted bad to me. I ended up just buying the rest and tossing them. This place definitely has some good options, I don't know if it was a freshness issue or not but some pastries are great and some just fall short.

Imperial Panini (I ordered it without the red peppers)

I'm honestly surprised I have the self control to not visit Steven's everyday. It's my go-to bagel spot; The New Yorker is seriously among the best lox sandwiches I've ever had. I also love grabbing a detox juice after working out! Since COVID they no longer have indoor seating to promote social distancing. However there are still tables outside! I just take mine to go, but it's nice to know there's that option. They have a digital menu board instead of just the paper menus they used to have when they first opened, which is great. I normally order a sandwich, coffee, or green juice (all great), but one of these days I need to treat myself to one of their baked goods. They always have a wide variety of macaroons (including interesting flavors like birthday cake and Nutella!) and they also have eclairs right now that look amazing.

Interior

It's always a nice stop along a walk by the Hudson River. Probably not your typical artisanal café in Hoboken that carries hand crafted nitro, this place does offer wonderful service and a variety of drinks and food to fuel your adventure over here.

This would be an amazing 5 stars if they had a toilet. Except for that they are a must try. First their coffee is reasonably priced. They also have an assortment of pastries, macaroons, cakes, breakfast options and paninis. And on top of that they are fast, the waiters are nice and attentive. They have a pretty spacious interior and have nice decorations, their vibe is kind of industrial. This is a must try, and if you do try you will come back guarantied!

Inside

The place is nice inside with plenty of seating and they have outdoor seats as well with a beautiful view of the city but I wasn't trilled about the customer experience. The iced chai latte was great and the egg avocado wrap was tasty but the m&m cookie that I got was stale. I will return for the iced chai but that's about it.

I actually found this place here on Yelp, I'm visiting a friend living in the area. First off, the cashier was super rude for some reason. The only reason I proceeded with the payment is because I was starving and had no energy to do my research again. 3 people ordered after me and got their drinks sooner than I did. Kind of weird. Panini is horrible, all I could taste is mayo and some weird spices. Tasted like a gas station sandwich for $5-6 to be honest. I felt like drinking some coffee, after finishing my juice (juice was good, thank God) and whatever I could eat of that sandwich , but I just didn't want to spend any money there :// Such a nice area and such a disappointment.... UPD: It also tells a lot that the owner labels his customer as a "slander" (that's how he referred to me in his response, not sure if it is visible publicly) You may be surprised but I spoke to another friend who lived in the building for several years, that the food was never good, as well as the coffee . Surprisingly, some ppl voted for my review...must me some miserable slanders! I didn't want to say that, since it had nothing to do with my experience. I never insulted anyone in my review, but the owner's response shocked me even more than the customer service. I now see that it made no sense to even review the place. You could have messaged me directly to find out the details Have an amazing day and good luck with the business

2 iced coffees, on a bench about a block over from the coffee shop

I live close by, so I enjoy walking to this cafe frequently. There are a lot of different options for drinks -- from everything to coffee, cold brew, lattes, and fruit smoothies as well. The cold brew is my favorite if they have any left for the day! I've also tried the Pistachio Escargot pastry and that was very delicious. Definitely recommend getting any of the pastries heated up. There is also a large selection of macarons but I have never tried any from there - they do like delicious and there are a huge variety of flavors. The pastry case is pretty stocked so I usually end up getting something from the case. 10/10 recommend checking out the place whether you're a local or visiting the area. Enjoy!

I have never seen anything quite like Aux Merveilleux de Fred. What an absolute delight! Not only…read moreare the desserts incredible, but the employees were so friendly and pleasant to deal with as well. The star of the show is, of course, the Merveilleux. It's made with light, airy meringue and whipped cream, then covered in chocolate shavings. It somehow manages to be rich and delicate at the same time. I can see why it's their signature dessert. They offer different flavors and sizes too, from mini versions to larger cakes that are perfect for sharing. One of the coolest parts of visiting is that the kitchen is completely open. You can watch the pastry chefs assembling these beautiful creations right in front of you. It's mesmerizing and makes the whole experience feel special. The bakery has roots in Northern France and Belgium, where the Merveilleux originated, but pastry chef Frédéric Vaucamps reinvented the classic recipe to make it lighter and more modern. Whatever he did worked because these pastries are unforgettable. A quick tip: cash only, so come prepared. Honestly, if you're anywhere nearby, I think you need to run there. Between the amazing desserts, the friendly staff, and the chance to watch everything being made fresh, it's one of the most enjoyable bakery experiences I've had in a long time. I know you won't be sorry!

I came for the pastries and stayed for the cold brew. Then came back for more cold brew later that…read moresame afternoon hehe. Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a tiny, beautifully fragrant shop on 8th Ave. I ordered the cold brew black and it was one of the smoothest, most satisfying first cups of the day I've had in a long time. Finding genuinely good black cold brew in this city is harder than it should be, and this one hit the spot so perfectly I made a second solo trip before sundown. The chocolate and almond croissant was delicate, flaky, and exactly what a croissant should be. The shop itself is small, no indoor seating, but two benches out front! The staff was warm and the whole place smells incredible the moment you walk in. I've already earmarked the Cramique for my next visit, because if it's anywhere near as good as everything else, I'm in trouble. Do yourself a favor and stop in!

First cardamom! Didn't know what to expect but it somehow exceeded my expectations. The bun was…read moreairy yet with a nice bite, perfectly sweet & sticky, and gone in 60 seconds. The best little midday pick me up in the city. Staff was a delight. Inside it's warm & cozy, and I could imagine adding a hot cup of coffee to my order only would've elevated my quick stay.

Ok guys here's my eclectic opinion on this spot…read more It's a small quaint spot, but a nice vibe to sit in the back & chill or meetup w/ friends. It's also a very busy spot. Note: Order boxes of these delicious buns & cakes for Office events, House parties, Bridal Showers, Birthdays , Home on weekends drinking tea or coffee etc. I ordered (4) buns. Two Cardamoms very moist & tasty with a hint of bergamot. I may be wrong but the taste is very exotic w/ out loads of sugar like most bakeries. I'm diabetic so that's important to me. The other (2) were the Brown sugar & Walnut, again very tasty & the cinnamon bun. All yummy but we all have our preferences. So, if you haven't been yet you need to patronage this spot you won't regret it. Plus, constant patrons coming & waiting on line to place orders. Awesome! says a lot. I'm never impressed with the size of a place, but the influx of foot traffic & cleanliness. Friendly staff! I've visited Malmo, Sweden & it's nice to know when I have guest visiting I can buy good pastries from here to impress w/ out the sugar rush. I recommend this spot, it's trendy.

very pretty cafe/restaurant in the west village. the inside is a bit tight but they managed to…read moresqueeze a good amount of seating in, and there's additional seating outside. The staff is all very nice and the food comes out quickly. portion sizes are decent for lunch items and things like french toast are above average. I liked that they used real tableware that had some weight to it as opposed to plastic, we accidentally knocked over a glass as we were leaving and it hit the ground but didn't break so that was a big relief but it makes the dining experience feel like more thought was put into it when even the table ware is of good quality. Overall it seems like a place that will be around for a long time, and you should definitely visit if you're in the area.

Banter never disappoints. Relaxing, casual vibes. Modern pop hits playing softly in the background…read more Outdoor and indoor sitting. Very small space, so you'll be squeezed tightly with your neighbors. Come here after the brunch rush, after 1:30pm, to get a seat. Otherwise, there's always a wait. Quick, efficient service. Menu is small, simple, but everything is tasty and you can't go wrong with any option. $24 big banter Breakfast was a healthy combo of filling ingredients. Good to share between two people or take leftovers home. $18 avocado toast + $3 egg was tasty, filling and healthy. Pretty presentation. $6 hot matcha was disappointing. Very bland and watered down. Tasted only milk, no matcha, which was sad.
