    french press at the table
    Gabby A.

    This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or brunch in uptown Hoboken!! We came here on a Saturday morning and were seated about 10minutes after arrival. The inside is so cute and well themed, plus, the view is amazing! Our waitress was really helpful and funny, making sure we ordered the right items and answering all our questions. I got the vegan pancakes and the Turning Point french press coffee. Both were excellent and I was even allowed to take my leftover coffee home in a to-go cup.

    Came here a few months back without a reservation on Veteran's Day and they were so accommodating and patient. We only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, and the service was also great and our server was very attentive! We shared a wilbur skillet, cinnamon rolls, and chicken and waffles are were stuffed to the brim! The food was tasty and worth the price! I think Turning Point is a reliable and fun brunch spot without a doubt and I'm already looking forward to coming back here soon! Thank you!

    Celebrated my best friend's birthday here for brunch. Had a great experience. Little bit of a wait even with reservations, but the service was good once seated. We ordered shareable cinnamon buns for the table (I asked them to customize them for my friend's announcement). They did amazing! I had a smoked eggs benedict and it was fantastic. The iced coffee with coconut cold foam was unreal. The interiors of the place is cute and loads of natural light with an amazing view! Can't wait to return back!

    Always come here for brunch. Great views and value for what you pay for. It was a coz and laid back spot to catch up. The food is as always really good, have savory brunch entrees and the portions are generous. Service was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. I'll try their pancakes next time as it's been a while since I had em here.

    Great breakfast place with skyline view of Newyork. It's very crowded place and service is slow . We took pancakes and Avocado toast which took almost 30 minutes to come. Good was good and view are amazing . I would just go for breakfast with view.

    Everything is mediocre and expected but the waiting time on Sunday is just insane. It took us 60+ minutes in the line and some 20 minutes before we got the food. Good thing you can go outside and get walk along the waterfront with a good weather. Otherwise I would not stop by to wait for infinity. It's crowded and very noisy inside too.

    The food was quite okay for the price of the items on the menu! also the beach house vibe indoors works really well. Although I was disappointed that the cold pressed carrot juice wasn't freshly made as I had hoped and was just bottled drink :( The person who served us was very friendly and would highly recommend this place for a cheap brunch :)

    Turning point is such a fun breakfast diner! I heard there can be a wait to be seated, but we called ahead and we barely had to wait at all when we arrived. The menu has so many options. It was really hard to choose. I went with the breakfast combo so I could have a little bit of everything. And I upgraded my pancakes to get the cinnamon roll pancakes (yum!). The eggs and bacon were standard. The potatoes were not my favorite but everyone else loved them. The pancakes really won me over because they were delicious and unique! They tasted just like a cinnamon bun. The lattes we ordered were HUGE, just FYI. The French press coffee is yummy but expensive. We did take to-go cups for the coffee we couldn't finish. This was a pleasant experience. It was nice to see the water front view during breakfast. The waiter was friendly and prompt. In conclusion, I would come back again.

    Turning Point has been a brunch favorite of mine with a large selection of hearty home staples. While I've never frequented the Hoboken location until recently, I felt that the overall experience left a lot to be desired. *AMBIANCE* The decor here is consistent with how the other locations are decorated and feels like you've arrived at the Jersey Shore. They have an online waitlist function which is convenient if you are coming here with a large party on a weekend. This restaurant is on the waterfront and is great for looking at the NYC skyline over the Hudson. *FOOD* The cold brew here is great and comes in a large jug. I like how you can opt for the sweet cold foam which they give to you on the side. At other locations, I've always loved the skillets and decided to order a Wilbur Skillet here, but must say the food at this location is disappointing and not fresh. My dish tasted average, which came with ROTTEN avocados that looked like they were intentionally hidden in the dish. There were questionable black moldy spots... *SERVICE* Our waitress was friendly, but on weekends, it's hard to get attentive service since the place is packed. Overall, if you want fresh food, skip this location as there are much better brunch spots within the area.

    This was a far more delicious breakfast than we expected. It was a nice walk along the water from our hotel. Food was super good. Very clean and warm and great service. We had to wait a bit for a table but if you get up early you should be fine. My vanilla dirty chai was also perfect. Great views of the water NYC from most tables.

    Classic brunch place in Hoboken with an amazing view of the water. Came by with 5 friends on a Sunday and we were expecting a long wait time, so we put our names on the waitlist online on our way over. Thankfully we did, because when we got to the restaurant, there were crowds waiting outside. When we checked in, we were told our wait was another 10 min, so definitely check in with the host if you put yourself on the waitlist early. Food was good - although we wished they had more sharing appetizers because the only options that were easily shareable were the bacon lollipop (picture attached, nothing like I imagined haha) and the chili (which unfortunately our waiter forgot about early on and we needed to ask them for it half way through our meal).

    The food was delicious! There is so much variety in coffees and food. It is not very expensive and the view is beautiful. You can see the skyline from the restaurant. There was a long wait but the food was worth it. The service was great.

    Do you offer breakfast everyday and for reservation can we do the waiting list on yelp?

    Yes you can do the Yelp waiting list but still expect ridiculously long wait times just to eat at this hipster location. If you have extreme patience then the food might be worth your time.

    Is there street parking during the week?

    Yes ....2 hour pay parking on 14 th street........ No parking for street cleaning 8am to 9am on Monday South side of 14th st & 8am to 9am on Wednesday North side of 14th…

Since my last visit, I had only ventured there once for a drink, but it had been far from a first choice. I loved that they had live music and a casual vibe, but my past culinary experience had been a letdown. However, I was very pleasantly surprised on my recent excursion. We grabbed seats at the rustic bar and enjoyed friendly service and pints of Kane Head High, my favorite beer. The crisp, refreshing brew went well with my cup of Chicken Noodle Soup. While that might sound like an odd "snack", I selected it because it was one of the few appetizers on the menu that was not fried. The broth seemed to interestingly be made of tomatoes and potentially other vegetables. It was packed with large, spiral noodles, shredded chicken, and fresh spinach. It was an interesting rendition for sure, but it was also very tasty, despite the fact that it was rather greasy. I was also bummed that it did not have more chicken and that it had not been served with any crackers. Oh well! Overall, it at least had left me with a much better impression than my last trip had.

The Mexican street corn, spicy rigatoni, cavatelli, and fettuccini. They were equally good but my favorite was hands down the fettuccini and rigatoni. Everything was so creamy and well seasoned. The ambiance: low moody lighting. Cool plates and attentive and kind service. I'd def recommend for date night with your lover our group of friends.

The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We started with the French onion soup, although it arrived at the same time as our entrees instead of beforehand. Even so, it ended up being my favorite dish of the meal. Rich and flavorful. For my entree, I ordered the steak and eggs. It was decent, but the quality of the steak wasn't quite what I expected. My mom had the chicken salad, which she said was satisfying, and my husband ordered the eggs, ham, toast and French fries, a solid classic breakfast that he enjoyed.

The first course was white asparagus with a hollandaise sauce and that was so tender and delicious but light enough that I wasn't full at all. The second course was halibut with risotto and crab and there was so much meatiness. It was my favorite place and the flavors went so well together. Next was grilled oysters and I've never liked oysters but these were amazing! The bacon and breadcrumbs that had a slight lemon flavor went so well with the oysters. Next was lamb loin with stewed white beans and carrots. The lamb was medium rare, I could have skipped the beans but that's me. Dessert was a strawberry Terrine which was full of fresh and authentic strawberry flavor. I would come back and try their normal menu and also do a tasting again as it was delicious and reasonably priced.
