Downtown Jersey City · Jersey City · Steep Index 8.1/10
An all-day neighborhood kitchen on Bay Street with plenty of seats, wifi, a long breakfast and lunch menu, and a salted caramel cold brew worth ordering.
The Steep Index
This is an easy room to spend a morning in. There are plenty of tables, the wifi works and people were on laptops, and the staff are warm. The salted caramel cold brew was pleasantly good, and the menu is long enough to come back for breakfast and lunch.

The Space
A roomy, relaxed dining room with plenty of indoor seating. It is the kind of space where nobody minds you taking a table for a while.
The Coffee
The salted caramel cold brew is steeped for 18 hours. It was pleasantly good, with the right amount of salted caramel and nice aromatics. The menu runs through breakfast, lunch and brunch.
Plenty of seats, wifi that works, and a cold brew with the salt in the right place.
The Vibe
Relaxed and friendly, with a good atmosphere. There is wifi, and I saw people working at the tables.
The Verdict
A good place to work or read alone for a few hours, and to eat while you do it. Order the cold brew.
