The store is bright and sunny with lots of windows and plants everywhere. The staff were nice and made a solid recommendation for my latte. I ended up ordering a Dulce de Leche iced latte, and my husband got an iced caramel latte! If you find yourself in the area, swing through! The coffee is tasty and the flavors are strong! There's also a board game section if you're looking to spend some time inside :)

The place is cozy, artsy, and so relaxing I ended up sitting there way longer than planned. Tried their cappuccino (served in those charming traditional mugs) along with a cream cheese bagel and avocado toast -- all really good! Loved seeing people sipping coffee, working on laptops, and even playing board games. Quick service, great vibe, and the kind of spot that makes you want to support local -- one cappuccino at a time.

Great food at this sweet little cafe in the McGinley Square neighborhood…read more Nice to find this spot located near the Beacon - breakfast options were delicious and prepared with love & care My son had the breakfast sandwich and it was good size for a 12 year old - good value too! The sausage gravy and biscuits that I ordered was also very good. The bagel with lox was another good option for our table. Altogether the service was great and we didn't have long to wait before food was in front of us - definitely up for returning for a meal on our next trip to Jersey City!

The food was not up to the standard that I was expecting. The presentation was lacking, the flavor…read morecombination was amiss, and the poached eggs were overcooked. Perhaps a drizzle of hollandaise sauce would have helped elevate the flavor and make the presentation more appealing. At some point, they ran out of glasses for the mimosas and brought them out in regular white wine glasses. I noticed some employees arguing and one of them was saying that he was going to speak to the higher-ups. In summary, there won't be a repeat visit.

It's so cute and cozy, making it the perfect place to actually sit and enjoy a cup. Their coffee definitely lives up to the hype; the house drip I had was robust and incredibly flavorful, easily some of the best in the area. I enjoyed it so much that I even grabbed a bag of beans to brew at home. It's clear why this place gets so much praise, as the quality is consistent across the board. Whether you're stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or looking for a spot to linger, Modcup is a must-visit for anyone who takes their coffee seriously.

I've never had such delicious chai and high quality, flavorful and smooth black coffees. The sandwiches like the pastrami were also very solid. Service (5/5): The staff and owner are so friendly.

Ambiance (5/5): Really nice storefront with both interior and exterior seating. The ambiance is super chill and a great coffee shop for chats or to do some work.

My husband and I each ordered a Griot sandwich which is served with plantain (think a large tostone) in place of bread. I ordered mine with pork and an added egg on top, my husband ordered his with chicken and added bacon. Both were delicious, the kind of meal that leaves you entirely satisfied afterward, but I think we would both give the edge to the pork! Despite being fully satisfied with the sandwich, I finished the meal off with the beignets covered in chocolate sauce. It was a perfect dessert and well worth the calories. My husband also really enjoyed the fresh juice that he got, I don't remember exactly what it was, but it had beets in it. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're in the area!

He was running around the whole time and it took quite a while to get our drinks and food. I love the ambience of this place though! They serve coffee and a variety of savory brunch dishes. Apparently they also have pastries but none were available when we went. For my entree I had the cheese omelet, which came with potatoes. I loved the seasoning of the potatoes! They were cooked really well. The omelet was simple but filling. Unfortunately they were out of matcha so I just had a regular tea instead. They do offer some alternative milks for drinks which is nice. With some extra help this place would be great on a busy weekend day, but otherwise expect to be waiting a bit...

We all exchanged stories about where we are from and what we are doing. The staff took great care of us while Francis and crew whipped up the most delicious food.

Had a fun time here for a weekend brunch. Waited just about 5-10 minutes before we got our table…read more Inside, we got entertained by someone may be the owner or someone who's been there for a long while. Alongside my cold brew, I ordered a weekend special, which was the creamy spinach omelette. It was really good. The sourdough bread was also good and not too heavy. My fiancée got the Weekender with vegan sausage. It came out pretty well. The vegan sausage didn't feel like your typical frozen fake meat. The egg whites were a nice touch too. Overall a very satisfying brunch and I'd return again.
