The Butler Café
Downtown Jersey City · Jersey City · Steep Index 7.9/10
A quaint little cafe tucked inside the CoolVines wine store, with a warm room and a friendly barista. The cortado is the part to skip.
The Steep Index
The room is the draw. It is cozy and stylish, the barista was affable and served with a smile, and the wine shop around it is worth a look. The cortado shot tasted flat with almost no coffee flavor and seemed under-pulled, which holds the score at 7.9.

The Space
A small cafe perched inside CoolVines Powerhouse, with limited seating. It feels cozy, and the store around it makes a nice backdrop.
The Coffee
The cortado shot was flat and lacked any real coffee flavor, and it seemed under-pulled. It is an easy fix, and I hope they improve it.
A lovely place to visit and chillax, and I hope they improve the shots.
The Vibe
Great ambience and a barista who was affable and served with a smile. A good place to sit back and unwind.
The Verdict
Come for the room and the welcome, and look at the wine selection next door. Order a pastry before the cortado.
