# Jersey Avenue, Thursday to Sunday

Jersey City · 4–5 hours · any

Six stops along Jersey Avenue and Newark Avenue, from a family cafe to a French bakery, ending at a dim speakeasy-style cocktail bar that opens as the bakery closes. Scram Bakery is open Thursday to Sunday only, so the whole walk is too.

## The route

- [1. The Hive](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/the-hive-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City

The one stop with a play space for little kids, plus a backyard patio. The cinnamon buns are sold Friday to Sunday and run out, so get there in the morning. The chai latte is decent.

3 min walk to the next stop

- [2. Scram Bakery](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/scram-bakery-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City

The egg tart is the move here, along with whatever sandwich looks good. Skip expecting much from the coffee itself. Closes at 3pm.

2 min walk to the next stop

- [3. Dames Coffee Espresso Bar](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/dames-coffee-espresso-bar-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City

This is where the coffee is. Order the butterscotch espresso drink and take it with you, or carry it out to the garden.

3 min walk to the next stop

- [4. Vis à Vis Cafe & Bistro](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/vis-a-vis-cafe-bistro-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City

The sit-down stop, with good wifi and tables inside and out on the Newark Avenue porch. Order the shakshuka and a latte, which was nicely pulled. Open until 8pm, 6pm on Sundays.

1 min walk to the next stop

- [5. Choc O Pain French Bakery and Café - JC Downtown](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/choc-o-pain-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City

Take the pain au chocolat, flaky and airy with a moist inside. The cortado was a little under-pulled, so the pastry is the point. Small room with few seats, and the close is 5pm or 7pm depending on the listing.

1 min walk to the next stop

- [6. The Archer](https://thesteep.app/cities/jersey-city/the-archer-jersey-city)Downtown Jersey City

The bar opens at 5pm, right as the bakery closes, and it is a minute down Newark Avenue. Dim, intimate and a little posh. Order the 40 Winks, mezcal-forward, and look at the small bites. Walk-ins, 21 and over.
