Good selection of coffees, teas and other hot beverages. Food looked good as well but did not try it this time.
This is the only decent coffee shop around this part of town. This and The Warehouse Cafe.
Pros:
Their coffee is spectacular. I personally love their iced lattes.
Free Wifi
Nice service
Cozy decor
Cons:
Not enough seats
Coffee is overpriced
CASH ONLY.
I really wish businesses would stop with the "Cash Only". It's really an inconvenience to the customers and any place that does this immediately gets knocked off a star in my book. Still the coffee is good enough for me to return. Just a note, they post the wifi name and password right by the creamer/sugar/coffee what nots.
Wonderful, peaceful coffee shop with excellent coffee drinks, a nice patio, and great staff.
It's a neighborhood place, and is probably great for a residential neighborhood.
I was in the mood for hot chocolate and asked the woman behind the counter, what is in the hot chocolate. Alright,maybe I could have passed it better, but i didn't expect a laugh and a slightly condescending answer of 'chocolate and milk'. I expect a cafe to tell me what kind of cocoa powder. When I elaborated, she looked confused and tried to check, but couldn't figure that out either. So….you don't know what kind of hot chocolate you serve…?
I then decided to go down the safe route of tea…which also failed to impress me. their green tea tastes like toasted rice tea from a Korean restaurant, and less like green tea. I also had 'the diplomat' which is a bread pudding with filling in the middle. This was also ok, but didn't strike me as a memorable bread pudding or pastry.
The space is cute and no one rushes you, but it's small. The total number of seats can't be more than 14, and that's with everyone elbow to elbow.
Overall, the woman annoyed me and their offerings couldn't make up for me. So I can't say if recommend coming back.
Small coffee shop in downtown Jersey City. I really love the vibe of this neighborhood joint and their coffee.
But the coffees are quite pricey and they have limited seating. During the day this is a great spot to come in and get work done. But I have seen it get quite busy on weekends!
The snack and pastry selection is unreliable. They are freshly made which is great, but because of that they usually have very few options since it is a small place
The disappointing part about this place is the service. Last few times I have been there people haven't been friendly at all and it has been very slow service. Just smile a little and be a little more welcoming, please!
And as other reviews mention – cash only!
I was very impressed with the quality of the coffee. We tried a regular latte and a butterscotch latte, both of which exceeded our expectations. I've had my best lattes in NYC, but Dames Coffee is one of the few that stands out on this side of the river. The only drawbacks are that they're a cash-only establishment and the space is quite small, so finding a seat can be a challenge. I'm curious to visit again during springtime to witness the garden that everyone seems to rave about.
Awesome coffee shop in JC. I ordered the butterscotch latte and WOW it was amazing. Loved the simplicity of the menu as well as the simplicity of the interior. Front of the coffee shop has seating for maybe a handful of people, however the garden in the back is the real treat. At least 3 large tables in the back. In addition to the standard coffee/latte menu, they also had an iced tea menu which looked intriguing. I'll definitely be back to #1 – get the butterscotch latte again and #2 – to try their iced tea.
I haven't actually tried the coffee here yet but they make a great chai latte! It's a cute little place but with some seating and free wifi to do work if you need to. They also have a secret garden in the back that is so cute and perfect for warm days.
I also tried the blueberry muffin they have here and it was so good! I wonder where they get their pastries from or if they make them…
The baristas were friendly and quick to take orders. I was here on a Sunday morning and it wasn't too busy. Curious to know if they get busier on weekdays. The location is a few blocks away from Newark Ave so it's a little off the Main Street which might keep it quieter.
Overall I would recommend coming here for a pastry or coffee. They don't have any savory snacks or sandwiches though. I would give them 5 stars but they only take cash!
