The latte was pretty decent, the barista was friendly and the menu is long, but it is a bit overpriced and the inside seats are few. Go on a weekday if you want a table. - Coffee / Drink Quality: 8.2/10 - Atmosphere: 9.0/10 - Solo-Friendliness: 9.2/10 - Value: 7.2/10 - Staying Power: 8.4/10 - Overall: 8.4/10 Perfect for: reading ## The Space A quaint cafe down a few steps in a basement, with limited seating inside. Out back there is a patio with a ping pong table, which is where you want to sit. ## The Coffee I had the latte, which was pretty decent, though a bit overpriced. The beverage menu is extensive, and the cups come in bright colours. > Go for the backyard patio, and bring a book. ## The Vibe Nice vibes and an affable barista. On weekends the queue is long, because this is a favourite with the locals. ## The Verdict A good place to read a book alone or just enjoy the scenery from the patio. Come on a weekday, and order something off the long menu. ### Practical information - Address: 295 Grove St, Jersey City, NJ 07302, United States - Price: $$ - Type: basement cafe [Website](https://lackawannacoffee.com) ## More in Downtown Jersey City - [Dames Coffee Espresso Bar](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/dames-coffee-espresso-bar-jersey-city) Steep Pick Downtown Jersey City · Steep Index 8.7/10 A tiny Jersey Avenue espresso bar with coffee-minded baristas and a backyard patio garden out back. - [Dullboy](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/dullboy-jersey-city) Steep Pick Downtown Jersey City · Steep Index 8.6/10 A dimly lit cocktail bar on Grove Street with a cocktail-minded crew, a long bar menu and a backyard patio out back. - [Choc O Pain French Bakery and Café - JC Downtown](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/choc-o-pain-jersey-city) Steep Pick Downtown Jersey City · Steep Index 8.5/10 A small French bakery cafe on Jersey Avenue with baguettes, croissants and tarts, and a pain au chocolat worth crossing town for. - [Hidden Grounds Chai & Coffee House](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/hidden-grounds-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City · Steep Index 8.4/10 A cozy Powerhouse Arts District chai and coffee house where the masala chai and the sense of neighbourhood camaraderie are both the real draw.
