I’ve been here three times now, and at this point, coming here every weekend to get some work done has become a little ritual. I absolutely love the vibes here! ☕️✨ But the real star for me is their NEW ORLEANS BREW. If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to! So far, I’ve tried: * Caramel * Brown sugar (jaggery) + cardamom * Brown sugar (jaggery) + mocha And every single time, the barista has absolutely nailed my custom combinations. She’s amazing at bringing these flavors together! Definitely one of my favorite spots to work, sip, and experiment with new coffee combinations. 🤎

Best coffee I’ve had in a long time. The lime guava bread was also lovely. I enjoyed sitting and watching the traffic roll by.

Decided to drop in on our last day in Jersey City. Excellent choices on the coffee and chai. I had the Lavender Honey Latte and it was delightful. Chocolate croissant hit the spot too. The chicken tikka masala sandwich was amazing. Recommend this place if you're close to it. Staff were friendly!

On a friend’s suggestion, I visited this cute café and absolutely loved it! We ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a chicken tikka sandwich — both were sooo good. For drinks, we tried the New Orleans brew and the rose brew coffees, which were unique and delicious. The vibe of the place was amazing, and overall, it’s definitely a must-visit spot!

Great choices for coffee and tea. We loved their bakery items (specifically the cardamom bun). Their filter coffee hits the spot and with the available options you can control the sweetness which makes it perfect. The almond croissant was good too.
