The coffee is a step behind, the flat white and cold brew both read as under-extracted with little flavor to carry them. - Coffee / Drink Quality: 7.0/10 - Atmosphere: 8.4/10 - Solo-Friendliness: 8.0/10 - Value: 8.9/10 - Staying Power: 7.7/10 - Overall: 8.0/10 Perfect for: brunch, people watching ## The Space Seats fill up fast inside, with a bench outside for anyone who does not mind eating on the go. Popular enough with locals that a weekend queue is normal, not a surprise. ## The Coffee The flat white and cold brew both came out under-extracted, thin on flavor, a letdown against everything else on the counter. The egg tart more than made up for it, genuinely delicious and clearly the reason regulars keep coming back. > The egg tart alone is worth the trip. The coffee needs a little more attention. ## The Vibe Staff are friendly, and the whole place runs on a real neighborhood following, locals treat it like a regular stop rather than a discovery. Prices stay reasonable even with the crowd. ## The Verdict Order the egg tart and whatever sandwich looks good, skip expecting much from the coffee. Come on a weekday if the weekend queue is not for you. ### Practical information - Address: 61 Erie St, Jersey City, NJ 07302, United States - Price: $$ - Type: bakery cafe [@scramjc](https://instagram.com/scramjc) ## 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.
