Yes, yes, and hell yes! Do not come here to complain about the price or anything else. I am extremely picky about food, and this sandwich hit every flavor note perfectly. I drove 20 minutes home before eating it and honestly thought it would be soggy by then, but it was not at all. The bread was soft without being dry. The pesto was hands down the best I have ever had. Even the chips paired perfectly with the sandwich. The red onions were sliced perfectly, the turkey was generously packed in, and the lettuce and tomatoes did not overpower anything. You could taste every single component working together. From the bread, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, chips, turkey, pesto sauce, and the other sauce, every bite had balance and flavor. I also ordered a cookie butter coffee. I have definitely had better coffee before, but honestly this one was perfect because it was not overloaded with sugar like Dunkin. So for me, it was just right. The staff member was also amazing. I originally ordered a bagel, but it was forgotten. I reminded her, but then I saw someone else order a sandwich and asked if I could switch instead. They told me the bagel had already been made, and I said it was totally fine and that I would just take both because I did not want to be a bother. Instead, they resolved everything for me. I am so sorry for the confusion, but thank you guys so much! read more

NEW LOCATION ON SUYDAM AVE. Not sure how I feel about the new location, I definitely enjoyed the other spot better. They now have bagels and sandwiches which I didn't get to try this go around but they looked great. Still great service and awesome coffee nothing has changed except the location. Supposedly the rent of the last location went way up so they moved to the other spot. Cool atmosphere, awesome employees, very dope aesthetic and great coffee. Doesn't get much better than this. read more

Coming from NYC, I have high standards for bagels, and the everything bagel with lox here was delicious! They don't skimp on the lox. I also really enjoyed the iced matcha . I asked for it to be sweet and it was the perfect amount. Definitely a cool vibe in here as well. Will be back whenever we are around the area! read more

Stopped in for the first time, had a chocolate croissant and latte, both were very good! There is a nice and somewhat secluded seating area in the back if you decide to "eat-in" as we did. We already like both Mordi's and Pinwheel along this stretch and now we like The Grind, too! read more

We stopped in on a Tuesday before work to grab a coffee and bagel. Even though the shop was busy, we were served very quickly and the employees were upbeat and helpful. Drinks and bagel were fresh and awesome. (Latte could have been slightly less milky, but I also could have ordered an espresso with cream.) Inside of the shop is spacious with plenty of outlets for working. read more

I was on my way to the airport and ordered two sandwiches through Uber Eats. The app said 10 minutes. When I arrived, they told me it would take much longer. I said I couldn't wait and wanted to cancel, but was told they couldn't. (no food prep food was started yet) I even tried to cancel through Uber Eats and couldn't. No apology from the front desk, no effort to help find another solution. I was the problem for them. I ended up waiting 40 minutes. I should have left, but $35 for two sandwiches is too much to walk away from when you're already late for a flight and not making 6figures. When I got to the airport and opened the bag, it wasn't even my order. They gave me a completely different sandwich..... I live in the area but had stopped coming after a bad first experience with unfriendly baristas and overpriced items. I gave them another shot after hearing they improved. Same thing again. Very disappointing.... read more

Today was my first time visiting and i'm definitely going back again to support a #BlackOwnedBusiness! I was immediately greeted by the staff when my friend and I walked in. They were extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable when choosing what to order. I don't drink coffee so the guy made me a pistachio latte which was delicious! For my friend, they suggested their new chocolate covered strawberry latte. The presentation of both drinks were on point! We would order them again. They have a couple of seats inside where you can bring your laptop and work. They also sell small bites/pastries. And the music? A VIBE. See you soon, The Grind Shop! read more

Entered here and had a good time, place was chill and service was great. The food was delicious I would recommend.

The Monitor sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. 10/10 Pro tip: ask them to add a little jam to it and *chef's kiss*. I also really like the new location! read more

The best! So many frat and unique drink items. I had the green tea citrus peach juice but look forward to trying the horchata and lattes. Staff is friendly read more

Coffee was great quality with amazing flavor. Service was super welcoming and I just loved the whole vibe

Stepped into The Grind for an afternoon pick me up after dropping my sister off at her apartment. Staff were super nice and helpful. Coffee was A+, smooth and rich. The barista tried really hard to stick to my "splash of half & half" request and I really appreciated that. I love that they have iced coffee and cold brew - because these are separate drinks and have different flavors. I still remember a barista at another café trying to shame me / school me by saying that "it's basically the same thing" when I asked if I could have an iced coffee and she responded with "you mean, like, a cold brew?". No, it is not the same thing. read more

Owner of the cafe and baristas are so incredibly welcoming. The cafe has a great environment, plenty of space to grab a bite and get some work done. The coffee is easily the best I've had in Jersey city and the sandwiches are to die for. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Great little coffee shop with your typical hand crafted latte drinks and a variety of pastries/etc. Good spot to also open a laptop and work from during the day if you're lucky to grab one of the tables. My favorite - in summer, the little patio space they/JC sets up on the street outside for people to hang out, most bring dogs, very social. My least favorite - no Citibike station around. This would make it incredibly easy to get to/from. Otherwise customers within walking distance only. Not sure how this could get set up, but that corner of Pacific and Communipaw is huge with plenty of space and extra wide sidewalks - this needs to happen, please! read more

Love #TheGrindShop and anytime I'm around the area - I will splurge and always try to get one of the pastries to go along with my iced oat vanilla latte. It is always made perfect. The staff is always friendly. The space is nice and clean. I noticed they sold this chocolate cake that I always ordered at Sam AM so it made my morning :) stop by and support your local café! read more

The Grind Shop - Smooth, balanced, strong ice latte with a reasonable price! Will definitely come back. Service is excellent too! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Staff is great. Prices are not. 12 oz decaf cappuccino with oatmilk $7.73 BEFORE required tip here, taking the total cost to $9.12. 16 oz decaf cappuccino with oatmilk $5.60 at Starbucks, no tip required at checkout. I can't afford the upcharge for decaf and non dairy, I'm glad others can because it really is a nice little shop with nice owners and should be supported. I hate giving my money to Starbucks, but, it is within my budget and same quality. read more

This was a great find! We came Saturday around 7:05 am and they weren't quite open yet. They fully opened up a few minutes later and we gave them some more time. Walked in around 7:15. Staff was super nice and they were still setting things up. Looks like the delicious donuts just got delivered a short time before. I ordered a black and tan and it was perfect! Husband ordered a vanilla latte (they have vanilla or coconut syrups). He forgot to order an iced one but was pleased with the flavor anyway! We both ordered cinnamon raisin bagels and we're pleased. Also tried a red velvet donut because why not! Staff greeted all of their regular customers and knew their orders. Also asked questions about family, etc. They made us feel welcome and at home here. Great laid back coffee shop. Love! read more

Always a must whenever I'm in JC and need coffee to jump start my day! Staff are so friendly and welcoming! I love how clean the place is and love that they have so much variety to offer.
