Great place for some fun flavored coffees. The price on the lattes can't be beat either! It's a little cramped inside to wait for your order. I was looking forward to trying the breakfast sandwich. It took quite a bit of time for it to be made, and the flavor was fairly bland. Definitely more places to get a BEC around Hoboken! read more

Came in after going to emergency vet with spouse. Spouse got a small cappuccino. Myself an iced red eye and for us to share an egg and sausage with cheese breakfast burrito. Ambiance is fine. Great small location and the music was on point for the coffee shop with brunch vibe. It's the service that I have to deduct. It's a Thursday. Wife and I both called off work so we could ensure our dog is ok. There was nobody in front of us, only one person sitting down. We were treated as if we asked for a very special and personalized meal during rush hour. Didn't greet us when we came in. Rushed my wife's order, didn't get mine because the gentlemen picked up phone. Afterwards rushed my drink order and left before I could even mention about the egg sandwich. After the drinks were done, were pushed to pay and that's when I said verbatim "excuse me, sir but after you quickly left to make our drinks I had other things to order." Instead of acknowledging the rush, the gentlemen said "Ok what do you want to order" and then spun the pay machine right back at me. Service is 0/10. For a small cappuccino, iced red eye, and a breakfast egg sandwich - all standard orders at any coffee shop, in a day and time that was empty, docking 3 points. Cappuccino spouse said was fine. The iced red eye is exactly as it says - cold coffee with one shot of espresso. Nothing special at all, not worth the $5 paid for it (small size. The egg sandwich was good 9/10. Sausage, egg, on wheat. Highly recommend Come in if you just want to get in and get out. read more

I love this place so much! We took my mother-in-law and sister to have breakfast sandwiches, and the owner was so kind and attentive. We all did a different coffee and egg sandwich. He gave us this chocolate muffin after he wasn't sure if we had gotten our mixed berry muffin already as a gift. When we tried to tip on the register screen, the owner wouldn't let us which he didn't have to do, especially considering how wonderful the service was. You could tell how many regulars there were that stopped by and spoke to the owner. It's the kind of place you return to again and again. The French music playing in the background makes this so cozy too. I love the iced lattes with Girl Scout cookie flavors. One of my favorite little spots in Hoboken. read more

Love this family owned business uptown of Hoboken, it's a gem, great staff and really hearty sandwiches highly recommend they do take credit cards and cash, there is a bathroom in the back and plenty of seating inside and outside, gets busy during morning hours because their breakfast sandwich is very popular along with their seasonal coffees. The ambiance is great and would go back to this spot for sure and their home made black cherry soda is a must try as well. read more

Amazing spot!The owner is so nice and the coffee is great!!!Price is affordable for the area.

This place is amazing! Best breakfast sandwich in Hoboken for sure. Owner is fantastic. Great conversation ;10 out of 10!

They take "Little" too seriously. These sandwiches have such a microscopic amount of fillings it's borderline criminal. If you like your sandwiches to be 80% bread, you found your perfect location. read more

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for this place, but here we are! I absolutely love it here. They have a hard-working staff that make absolutely delicious, fresh breakfast sandwiches. You can get a slew of other things, of course, but the pumpernickel bacon, egg and cheese is my go-to. The drinks are also amazing. I prefer the chai latte. If you're looking for a cozy little nook in Hoboken to have some breakfast or coffee, this is the place! read more

My boyfriend lives close by to this small cafe, and we love coming here for our coffees. The staff is always kind and attentive, especially the gentleman that we believe to be the owner. He always jokes around with us, and remembers us & provides the best service and hospitality. We've enjoyed lunch/breakfast here and the food is always made fresh and with care. They have condiments available (and great hot sauce). PS : They have the best lattes/chai lattes! And a Pumpkin Chai Latte year round, I big recommend. read more

The little grocery is not a grocery store at all. It's a killer little cafe and it is phenomenal sandwiches, breakfasts, coffee, and pastries. Just one girl working and working hard when I was there. It's small, quaint, and super cool. I had the "Thanksgiving on a roll" some chips and a coffee. Reasonably priced too. Meat was sliced to order. Bread was fresh. A few tables but not a lot of seating. It's a small place. Totally would go back. Great little spot. read more

We chose this spot to grab breakfast while we figured out the easiest way to get to NY. We were served the best sausage, egg and cheese croissants and were provided the easiest directions from the PATH train to the World Trade Center (for two people who know nothing about city life). Thank you for everything sir! We will be back in our travels! read more

absolutely incredible food, the service is a welcomed change of pace from the typical Hoboken/City style, you feel like you're getting a true cafe experience akin to a small local spot in your hometown fit with an ambiance layered with wonderful authentic character read more

My heart nearly broke in two when I saw their downtown location had closed, but little did I know that they had a sister spot all the way uptown. All is good again. My heart is fine, thanks! The space is cozy and lined with tables and art all over the walls. You pour your own water and chat with the owner while you wait for your food. You'll feel like you've been friends with him for years. Just a heads up the wait can sometimes take awhile, but it's only because of how much care goes into each order. I always get the same thing: bacon, egg and cheese and it is honestly one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches, ever. He makes the whole thing into a scramble and it just is cooked so perfectly and has so much flavor. There are a ton of great breakfast sandwich spots in Hoboken, but they are the best. Oh, and the coffee is great as well. I've only gotten drip, but it is strong and bold and just the way I like it. read more

Meh. I've had takeout coffee from here before which was fine. This time i sat in. Service was not friendly and woman seemed quite put out when I had to ask for a change to something on my dish. Omlette was fine, but don't tell people you can make a flat white if you really don't know what it is. I added a second shot (when asked) because i thought it would be a flat white, i.e. a full cup of coffee, the cup was barely a third full so essentially like a large espresso. It was undrinkable. I brought it home to add warm milk and try to make an actual coffee drink out of it and it had a bad bitter/muddy taste. read more

Staff is so friendly!! Greeted us warmly upon arriving!! Perfect spot to meet up with an old friend! Tea was delicious!!

This cafe is super cute! The owner? He stopped every table and chat with a customer, a lady takes order and who is a barista, she is friendly. I had a breakfast bagel, egg, cheese, spinach and onion on toasted onion bagel, it was amazing. Fresh eggs not eggs from a carton, the chef makes as order comes in. I've noticed some of the negative comments stated the waiting time, Fresh and good foods will take time, so busy time, you might need to be a little patient or go to Starbucks, it machine made sandwich comes in a bag and they will heat it up in no time. Cafe au lait went very well with my breakfast bagel. I can't wait to come back here. read more

The sandwiches remind me of an upscale version of the ones my Mom used to give me. They are on the smaller side but they are quality. I got one with chicken and it was tender and juicy. The pesto type sauce on it complimented the sandwich well. I think they make homemade lemonade since it has the Little Grocery label on it. It was refreshing and worked well with the sandwich. This is unassuming shop that packs a punch. I ordered delivery and it came quickly. Nothing else you can ask for. read more

I've lived in Hoboken for a decade and I've tried every breakfast spot under the sun. Either if it's for a friend visiting town or I just need my routine morning coffee, the Little Grocery is always at the top of my list. You can't go wrong with stopping in for breakfast at Hoboken's best breakfast experience! In a town where Baby Gap and Lululemon have replaced the local neighborhood spots, Little Grocery is a timeless gem that helps Hoboken retain it's authentic feel. The food is outstanding (literally anything you order), the service is the most attentive in town, the atmosphere is relaxing and genuine and the coffee is sourced from one of the best shops in NYC (Kobrick)! It pains me to let the secret out that the Little Grocery does have, as their menu naming suggests, "Hoboken's Best Egg Sandwich." Whether you get it on a bagel (which you should), croissant, or a roll, you will not be disappointed. I typically get either taylor ham or sausage with egg and cheese and I will never tire of either. These bagels and coffees are always the highlights of my weekend. The eggs are fluffy and the bagels are light enough to not slow you down for the rest of your day. I have legitimately never had a bad or rushed bagel from LG. The atmosphere and service are unparalleled. I walk in feeling like Norm from Cheers and it's evident with every visit that the staff builds this type of relationship with new and frequent patrons that stop by for their morning coffees. The music and aromas always pique my excitement and appetite upon every visit! The personal neighborhood experience does sometimes come at the cost of a wait but only during heavily congested times. With that said, the ambience, atmosphere and food make the wait worth it! read more

They are super friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. It's a cozy spot with lots to offer. The best omelette in Hoboken.

Cute breakfast spot. We came early on Sunday (before 10am) and it wasn't packed. We all ordered bfast sandwiches and cappuccinos. All the sandwiches were on point. Loved the fluffy eggs in my sandwich! Unfortunately, my cappuccino was not that great. It was kinda blah and I'll stick to regular coffee next time. Great place to get a tasty sandwich after a night out. Coffee was 4ish and the sandwich was 6ish. read more

We stopped in for a quick breakfast yesterday and absolutely loved the entire experience! The cafe area is small but very cozy! We enjoyed breakfast outside with coffees and we all loved our food! I got the quiche of the day while my family enjoyed the western omelette and avocado toast! The owner was the nicest man who stopped to talk with us before our food arrived and 100% made this one of our favorite spots! Can't wait to come back to Hoboken and eat here again! read more

Had a sandwich from here a week ago. Soooo good but very skimp on the meat and toppings. Came a few days ago and had to wait almost 20 mins for a bagel with cream cheese. There was no line and only one other person waiting. Instead the staff was gossiping and showing pictures on their phones to each other as I'm just watching my bagel sit on the counter with nobody working on it. Then i get home and it had barely any cream cheese on it. It was also pretty hard to eat texture wise. Such a shame because it is a cute little hole in the wall shop that I would like to support but I definitely won't be going back if I'm in a rush (which I was!!!) read more

I ordered an online pickup order, with turkey bacon in my egg sandwich. When I got to the store I asked the older man who works there if he cooked the turkey bacon yet so that I could ask for it well done, but he said it was already cooked. I watch him cut deli turkey, throw it in a pan, and I say to myself thats not mine. After I get back to my apartment, I open my sandwich, and come to find out this man used turkey deli meat, scrambled it in the egg to cover it up. I went back to the store to confront him and he was defensive, rude, and refused to show me the turkey bacon he used. He said he would give me a refund but did not ask if I wanted anything else. I will never return to your store nor will I suggest it to anyone. read more

The best chai latte I have ever had, it's amazing!! The service is awesome, and the food is great! My new favorite weekend breakfast spot

Had an excellent breakfast here. Food made with care. Friendly owner. Nice comfy atmosphere. A downside is it's not great if in a rush.

This place was a vibe all the way.It was a rainy day in Hoboken and I stumbled in here.Nice couple sitting at the window and he interacted with all of us.Locals came in and bought bread.He made everyone's order from scratch and took his sweet time and none of us minded that at all.The bacon egg and cheese on croissant bread was so fluffy and heavenly.I will go back.... read more

I moved to Hoboken in 2015 and knew a few people in the area who I asked for general suggestions about breakfast spots. They all told me to go to Little Grocery and I'm happy they did. Amazing breakfast sandwiches - my go to is the ham, egg, and cheese on everything. I go at least once a weekend for this. Coffee is pretty outstanding too, both hot and iced. I've never had an issue with quality, as it's always the same guy making the sandwich. I usually call my order in ahead of time or if I'm not in a rush will place my order, get a coffee, go for a walk on the waterfront, and then come back for it. The salads and lunch sandwiches are fantastic, as well. For salads, I've tried the Kitchen Sink and Greek - both are great. As far as lunch sandwiches are concerned, I've tried the Parma and Tuna sub and recommend each of them. read more

Mediocre sandwiches. Small, too tight to walk past people. The worst was the rude lady working, she did not smile once and when our food was ready she yelled "WINDOW" since we were sitting by the window. read more

Super cute, pretty small, service was great and food was pretty good! The sausage on the bagel sandwich was sweet but in a good way!

This is one of our regular Hoboken lunch spots. It's a small, narrow space. It has limited outdoor seating, which isn't great, but it has great food. Its menu is funky, in a good sense: pesto on a sandwich? It really works. Great coffee, not made in a factory, but literally by hand by the staff. Wide array of teas. Very pleasant overall. Delicious food. Nice setting. We'll certainly go back. read more

Best breakfast sandwiches, delicious coffees, the friendliest owner ever, and a gem of a spot!

I'm not THAT picky and try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but this was my second "less than stellar" order from here. I went in for a simple breakfast sandwich and was disappointed by the entire experience. I had gone here before and thought it was mediocre but passable so I gave it a second chance. A bacon egg and cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup shouldn't really be a difficult thing to get right. Roll was stale and the sandwich was lukewarm and it was like $7? I'm pretty sure it was a stale grocery store roll, as I saw no provisions for baking anything they sell. Oh, and apparently paying in cash was some horrible inconvenience for the staff here. TL;DR - Bagels on the Hudson makes a significantly better breakfast sandwich and it's worth the wait. Even O'bagel is better. Tried this place twice and I'm officially done. read more

It's funny, I gave the former downtown location 4 stars, yet find the current spot to be even better. Strong Kobrick coffee is always a win, but what truly sets this spot apart is the care that goes into each order. Yes it takes time. No it's not cheap. But I'd be damned if I said that it wasn't worth the time and cash. I've gotten the veggie omelet on multiple occasions and at many spots in town, the veggies are raw or undercooked. Here, everything is sautéed and that extra time and care spent means a truly epic omelet. Another fun fact is everything is cooked out where all customers can see. The fresh ingredients and sanitation practices here are top notch as well. Truly a five star experience! read more
