    This restaurant is one of our favorites places for their healthy, tasty and fresh breakfasts, even when we have never been on-site because we usually order home-delivery pretty early in the weekend mornings. Everything is fresh and greeny, the fruits, juices and bread, everything looks like morning field-picks! Our first choice is the avocado toast, simple but delicious, also the almond toast with banana. About the drinks, any juice is very refreshing and full of flavor and color. I think that this is a great option to have something tasty and healthy. Of course the delivery time matters, and it's really fast... one point added to these guys is that it is one of the very few businesses that open pretty early in the morning so you don't have to wait if you are an early-bird.

    Update: I tried the flat white and the taste of espresso was strong and good! Cafe is spacious and good place to work. They roast their own beans in NY and it's good. Some of their pastries are from Balthazar bakery which are delish. You can park in the parking garage building next door - free for 3 hours! Wish it were a tad bit cleaner and more inviting.

    I am surprised this place is rated as high as it is. For me, it was nothing special. It was fine. (That's why I gave it 3 stars.) A few things about my experience: personally I prefer to drink out of ceramic or glass, but they only serve paper and plastic cups. Also maybe the barista was having a bad day but he seemed annoyed from the onset of the interaction. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 meals. I had a reward of a free drink but it was for a 12 oz and I guess the drink I ordered (cold brew) they would only make it 16 oz or bigger. I said I understood and asked if I could change it to something else that would qualify, and in response the barista kind of rolled his eyes and left the register and started making the original drinks that I just went ahead and paid full price for because it didn't seem like there was another option. For food, we got avo toast and a sandwich. The "poached" eggs are actually eggs cooked in a little metal tin ring and the avocado didn't seem to be seasoned at all. The food was very bland. I only ate a few bites of my toast which somehow managed to be both stale and mushy. There are so many legitimately good coffee / breakfast places around here, I'm taking this one off my list.

    3/5 latte (tastes much weaker compared to other places I frequent). 5/5 atmosphere and working spaces. There’s free parking validation for patrons at Hudson Lights!

    I have become a regular at this place and today was blown away by the service. I usually show up when it opens at 7:30am. Jerome (who is always there with a warm smile) remembered what I always order (which is a bit complicated in its own way - coffee, water, and parking ticket validation) and had it ready before I ordered. Can't imagine this happening at any of the big chains. The space is also awesome - great place to work. I have no affiliation with this business and almost never leave reviews.

    I have ordered avocado 🥑 toast with egg 🐣. It was very delicious. I have an American coffee. The place is good to write your article and do computer stuff. The service was excellent. I like the ambiance. I will come here always to have a coffee.

    Great place for coffee, plenty of indoor seating and small outdoor seating section. I enjoyed avocado toast with feta, microgreens, tomato with a poached egg on top. I also enjoyed an amazing blueberry scone. Matcha latte was nice. Place has a chill pleasant atmosphere. Definite repeat!

    Bean & Bean Fort Lee consistently offers the best and most high-quality coffee in the region with excellent customer service that's efficient, friendly, and professional. The ambiance is spacious and relaxing and the coffee, pastries, and food items are fresh and tasty. I'm here sometimes twice in one day and appreciate the organic and fair trade coffee as well as the kindness of the employees who take time out of their day to exchange pleasantries.

    Went there all winter and there was always great service. The coffee was good too. Large coffee shop and plenty of space to sit and not be too close to others.

    Really like this coffee shop. The food is tasty and coffee is good. I like that they have organic coffee, but more organic options would be good. The atmosphere is a bit stark/industrial for my liking. It's not very comfortable (seat are not comfortable and tables are too low for the chairs they have). The service was overall good, but there was a time they forgot my pour over. I waited a long time and by the time they finished, it was cold. So that was disappointing since I picked a more expensive bean and was looking forward to a good cup. All in all, I do like the place and will be back when I'm in the area.

    A bit pricey but most items are worth it. Açaí and honey latte are great.

  • 2/5 Yurim N. 1 year ago on Google
    It pains me to write this review because I LOVE(D) this cafe as a Fort Lee resident of 4+ years. Kate, Mike, Jerome, and a few others have always been friendly faces to walk into, greeting their customers with kindness as if they were the owners themselves (which is rare)! Coffee is good, environment is nice, so I’m not writing this review to bash on the cafe; I simply want to let my voice be heard as a customer who spent at least $2,000 (probably more) at this establishment. Recently, a new “GM” came in. My love for this place went downhill when he sarcastically asked whether my 4-lb Maltipoo is a “service dog.” I bantered back, replying, “haha… my emotional support puppy!” I honestly thought he was joking. Then he turned stark and proceeded to say that my puppy, whom I was carrying in my arms, is not “permitted.” You can run your business however you’d like—who am I to object—but here are my grievances: 1. If you’re going to implement a policy, do it correctly from the beginning. Don’t have your customers rely on your cafe to drop by to grab a cup of coffee and then overnight change your policy without a warning. My little fur baby has been welcome at Beans for months, and I never let her loose on the premises. 2. If you want to implement a rule strictly, do so directly. Don’t put a smirk on your face and sarcastically ask whether a 4-lbs pup is a “service dog” and then proceed to render me and my dog wholly unwelcome. It’s confusing— and more disappointing. Lastly, I concede this is not my prerogative, but what’s wrong with letting your customers grab a coffee on the go while carrying their little fur friend? Do you know how many dog lovers are in Fort Lee? I don’t mind paying $7 for coffee (just to add a little oat milk and honey powder) but do I really need to tie my dog to a pole outside just to order a coffee? I’m just so sad that I can’t be frequenting this place while taking a walk in spring.

    Great place if you go in the morning. The AM staff is friendly, professional and can make great latte. But the afternoon young staff are not paying attention to their customers even sound rude. AM: 5⭐️ PM: 2⭐️

    Had a great time at this establishment for a meeting with my team. Such a cozy atmosphere and has tons of room to enjoy company. I usually get just black coffee but I went for a hot mocha and I really love how rich the flavor of the brew was.

    Best for coffee in area. Most times easier to find seats than next door which has better sweet selection. You don't need the extra calories or over indulgence so stay with good choices here. Latte with a heart ....thanks Jerome and Gordon.

    I had a croissant and a honey latte and it was delicious and not too sweet.

  • 3/5 Warrior Way H. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The “hot” drinks are never hot. They are lukewarm. If you request “extra hot” they are still barely warm in temperature. I used to go here daily but stopped due to this. It’s a shame because the coffee is good. The cashier argued with me that it should only be warm…so ridiculous! If a customer is paying premium price for a cup of coffee, honor his or her request. I think they changed owners because they used to actually serve HOT coffee.

    I walked in at 8:38 pm, after driving around 15 minutes to get there, and the doors were closed. We walked in and tried to order a hot latte and they said that the espresso machine was down. They said they were getting ready to close and were already mopping the floor and cleaning the coffee machines so they kindly suggested to go next door to paris baguette because “there coffee is great”. Unbelievable.. first and last time here. Sign at the door says “close everyday at 9:00 pm”.

    This place is amazing! This is a good place to study or chill with friends. The coffee and pastries that they had were so delicious. The barista Jerome he is the best..! So friendly and pleasant to talk with. I will definitely rate them a five-star for everything that they provided. Truly amazing! Highly recommended!

    Visited recently and ordered a regular drip coffee that tasted like deli coffee. Also please fix your cups and/or lids— most of my coffee was spilling out which was a major problem as I was commuting. Super annoyed by the cup issue.

  • 4/5 Khải �. 4 years ago on Google
    A little bit overpriced cup of cappuccino for me. They have nice space to sit and do my work. However, the space is kind of echoing and it makes me hard to concentrate if i do not have a headphone to block noise and talks.

    Good coffee. Pleasantly surprised to see how much coffee knowledge staff had from where crops were grown and harvested to roasting. This is real coffee culture you miss at other coffee shops. I didn’t give 5 stars because I got avocado toast. The avocado was pre packaged avocado spread. You could tell by taste and color. I would’ve preferred fresh or don’t offer it at all.
