“I would recommend tasting everything on the menu and having their cappuccino, fresh made almond milk, and lattes.”

The place is located somewhat hidden, but for us who has discovered this tiny gem, will be going back for more.”

Green Pear Cafe is the BEST! Every time I enter I am greeted with smiles and very welcoming staff. I feel like family there. The iced latte is amazing and the food is Delish! I haven't had one bad meal. My kids also love it. They order the fresh pineapple juice and yummy croissants.
It is such a quaint and beautiful cafe that you would usually only find in Europe. I would recommend tasting everything on the menu and having their cappuccino, fresh made almond milk, and lattes. The list goes on and on.
Cute cafe, quaint space, great smoothies and friendly service! What more can you ask for?
Stopped in on way to a meeting to grab a power pick me up, their smoothies caught my eye and I ordered the mango lassi smoothie and it was delicious!!! Not too creamy/yogurty and really good balance of mango and diary!
The servers/owners (I think they are the owners) are so friendly and the space is beautifully quaint. Cannot wait to come back and try more items on their menu when I have time!!!
My friend and I enjoyed brunch at this beautiful cafe this morning and we left feeling more than satisfied. The menu options were plentiful and very reasonably priced (crucial to any brunch experience). I definitely recommend the Dosa and fruit bowl. All of the staff were very professional and welcoming to us, including the chef and the owners!
This is the best place I've eaten since moving to north Jersey and I will definitely be bringing more friends here in the future.
UPDATE 7/17/2016
Since I first stepped into the Green Pear Cafe several months ago, I have brought all family and friends who have come to visit me to get brunch here. The authentic European flair and attention to every detail of presentation and service alone, brings me back every time. I recommend any of the egg dishes or Dosas (I've had them all at this point) as well as anything on the high fiber menu.
As I said previously, I highly enjoy the
experience and the food this place provides and will continue bringing friends and family whenever we're looking for a guaranteed delicious brunch experience.
I have been wanting to try this place for awhile as we live around the corner. My husband and I ordered a cappuccino and the Malibu juice, both were excellent. As a non-caffeine drinker I really appreciate that they offer all the coffee drinks in decaf. The juice was refreshing and delish!
For breakfast we split the Primavera Dosa and a Nutella banana crepe. LOVED the pancake dosa, it was flavorful and something different. Both the crepe and the Dosa were light. My husband left a bit hungry, but it's not a 3 ft stack of pancakes type place so you can't go in expecting heafty portions.
Overall it's a lovely little cafe. The only downside was that the air conditioner unit exhaust was blowing out the window right next to my head at the outdoor table. We're not talking a light breeze here, it was really blowing. Not the end of the world but I would certainly avoid that table next time. They should think about doing something to deflect or block that air.
Def a must try!!! We will be back 🙂
This is an adorable little cafe a surprisingly large enough menu for a full brunch. We went in a group of 4 on Mother's Day. It is a family run business, and the son was our server.
The food is very fresh and presented nicely. We were seated at a tiny little table and didn't really have enough room for all of our plates and food. This definitely made it a challenge to navigate the utensils and a couple bites landed on the floor because of it.
I would recommend the dosas! The egg dishes looked good too, but the dosas are fun and fresh. And some of them have a lot of cheese which is always a good thing.
Even though it was a busy day, the staff was very friendly. The service was extremely slow so even though we stayed past the time limit, they didn't kick us out.
I would return here to have another dosa for sure. Those are a good amount of food for a reasonable price.
The very definition of a community-oriented cafe, Green Pear gives back to us what Starbucks took away.
The owners, such friendly and caring people, create a warm atmosphere and hit all the winners- excellent and varied food options, quality coffee, inspiring retail and imported goods, reasonable prices and perfect service.
I consider this business a gift to the people of Hoboken.
Small neighborhood cafe serving brunch, small plates & some cool drinks. Bummer that the drinks seem much better than the food. We stopped by for a light lunch during the holidays and it was quite disappointing. The husband had a salmon burger which came on a bed of salad (open burger, no patty). I had the gnocchi with cheese. Both tasted pretty much generic…nothing that set it apart or made it stand out in any way. The salmon wasn't the freshest either.
The Lake Placid drink on the other hand was stellar — very refreshing, tangy and just the right touch of sweetness.
This is a family run business with the kids doubling up behind the counter & as servers. Great idea. My recommendation would be to kick it up a notch; both attention to detail and a touch of warmth. It's really what brings people back and makes a home grown business memorable.
Let's start with the positives: I've been here at least three times before my latest visit today and have always had good experiences. The staff has been friendly and helpful and I have enjoyed everything on the menu, both food and drinks. I like the atmosphere and the proximity to my house. It had become a go-to for meetings and a nice quiet place to get a little writing done.
Unfortunately Green Pear has recently changed its policy and no longer lets patrons stay more than 45 minutes. I was verbally informed of this policy after it was clear that my meeting was over and my drink was empty and would not be making another purchase. At this time, there were only two other customers present in the store, and there was plenty of other seating available.
They have a limited amount of seating and I understand the need to be respectful of traffic flow and certainly patrons should be aware especially during busy hours not to abuse the space, but as a paying customer I believe a business should clearly establish their expectations (put a clear sign up on the wall or at each table) and leave it to the customer's judgement as to when it is time to leave.
While I understand all of this from a cost perspective, my experience today made me feel unwelcome and hesitant to return as a patron.
