Great neighborhood coffee place

The coffee has no flavor! The barista really does not know how to make a proper latte. The steamed milk was not silky and had big bubbles. Nobody greeted me when I went into the store either. Never going back.

Good place for coffee. We do like the turmeric latte, Turkish latte, among all others.

Love this cafe! Super modernist interior space and has a great range of drinks and pastry! The staff is the kindest:))

This place used to be: "omg you have to try this place" to "what is this watered down folgers." They sold me two burnt chocolate chip cookies and a Turkish latte that tasted like water.

The baristas have no idea how to make a coffee and simply waste the beans. No idea how to steam milk either (e.g: no purging, so the coffee was super watery). I tried latte, flat white and in both cases the outcome was a coffee with 0 flavor. Waste of time and money, hire good baristas.

Staff is very unfriendly. Stays silent even when customers walk in. This is not the only coffee shop in this area, so do not waste your time.

This is not a proper coffee shop, but rather and small coffee grab-in-go within some kind of gallery? The selections are minimal, the “food” is premade within an open cooler/fridge, at least what I saw. I had some weird coconut based yogurt that was like soup, probably not cold enough or sitting in the fridge too long. The coffee was terrible, just very bitter and no flavor. I had a special latte drink, and it just wasn’t good. The decor is sparse and uninviting. I don’t know how this passes as a coffee shop! May be I am old fashioned, but sitting down and having a great cup of coffee is a “shop” this is a step up from a grab-in-go. The only bright spot was the staff, who were very friendly and pleasant. Skip this one and head over to Starbucks - which is very sad because I want to support local businesses but just can not when the product and experience is subpar.

Lackawanna is great as usual, but this location is a bit odd in my opinion. Inside is weirdly formatted and barren, and not much place to sit and enjoy. Otherwise fine

Coffee is very good. Staff is very nice and laid back. Food is rich and a bit expensive, especially the yogurts and foods on the side display.

As others have said, the baristas have no idea how to make coffee. They have good beans an expensive coffee machine, but nobody has taught them how to use it. Milk was over steamed and had way too much froth. Complete waste of money.

Loved the way they presented the coffee. Prices were also cool.

Good coffee, beautiful design and interesting books, friendly staff - easily the best cafe in Jersey city

All time best coffee in my opinion! Such good quality drinks and pastries and i love that they participate in Too Good To Go! My go to’s are the sesame latte with a shot of espresso and the everything croissant 🤤

I love going to this cafe during the weekends to work. A beautiful young lady, Salima, always greets me with a cheerful smile. She makes the best matcha lattes for me, and the environment is peaceful to work in.

barista needs more training…. when you order a macchiato and the barista pours enough milk for 2 lattes and starts making bubbles instead if steaming the milk… cant help but have cncr inside then he just starts scooping multiple spoonfuls of foam??? i didnt order a capuccino also no small cups for the espresso enjoyers? would have gone to a circus if i wanted this clown show just shows that the management is either ignorant or doesnt care this store is an obvious cash grab

New Lackawanna Coffee outlet at The Lively building Jersey City ! Love the vibe and coffee here.

Delicious food and drinks but there’s not a lot of space. Would be a great place to grab a bite and catch up with friends. Recommend the apple cheddar scones! Their black sesame latte was good too.

love the matchai. shop is nice and cold on hot summer days, and the staff is very kind :)

Amazing lattes and great selection of teas! Clean, light filled space. Will def be back next time we are in JC.

very bitter drip coffee, undrinkable. ive had the same issue with their americanos and japanese iced coffee. they also are so obnoxious which is a bummer. snobby coffee shops are the worst

Best coffee around!! The staff is very helpful and friendly too.

Best coffee; friendliest people

Good service, great coffee, interesting specialty drinks

I work right next door and they're the best. I love the vibes and the dulce de leche iced latte, yum!

Go to coffee shop in JC. Love their blueberry muffin as well.

Always friendly service, always clean. Great place to grab a quick iced coffee while I walk my pup in the morning. Pet friendly too.

Best Latte I’ve ever had!! Really. I got the iced Latte with oat milk and vanilla syrup. I don’t know how they made it but it was sooo good. This made my day! Love it!
