Such great coffee and great staff! The coffee is huge and comparatively cheap for the neighborhood. My only gripe with this place is that they don’t allow tipping on the card- your staff SO deserves it! Bring cash :)

Amazing place!! I ordered a sober matcha with almond milk and it's incredibly delicious, highly recommend! It's so easy on the stomach too and tastes like a melted cold milkshake !

Great coffee place in Jersey City with unique flavors and coffee choices. They have some seating inside but little seating outside.

Always saw this coffee shop while commuting to work. So decided to try it out. Only wish I tried it much sooner! Their coffee and matcha are the best! I tried their sober matcha with “white top” man that tasted so good. I also tried their sober shot. It’s like a sparkling water fusion with espresso shots and white top as well. Sounds different but it’s worth trying! I’ve tried different coffee shops in the neighborhood and this is by far the best! Look forward to trying their other drinks!

A very unique take on coffee. Absolutely recommend the “sober shot” coffee which is sparkling espresso with a “white top” (creamy sweet milk). If you’re tired of the same old, nearly indistinguishable coffee offerings from other cafes, give this place a shot. Bonus points for being dog friendly!

Such a unique spot! I loooved the not so black iced, it’s basically black tea with foamy sweet milk. The cozy campfire is tasty, too! A lot of space, not a ton of seating (prob bc covid), but really awesome drinks and a really unique menu! Definitely coming back. The drinks are a bit pricey 6 - 7, but they are BIG. Unfortunately, you can’t order smaller sizes. But fortunately, you get your money’s worth!
