Best cafe in the area, hands-down - my wife and I go here multiple times a week. Delicious coffee, great food and an awesome indoor space/outside seating. Patrick and his hard-working team are super-friendly with everyone who walks through the door, and through their day to day business but also local events and partnerships they are building at the heart of this community. Would 150% recommend!! Thank you Patrick for everything you do for your customers, including keeping us caffeinated!!

Loved this place, the food and the super friendly and knowledgeable owner Patrick. They have a wide variety of breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack options. We had the avocado toast and bibimbap. Both were good. The place is very clean and has an inviting appeal to it.

The owner thinks a lot about the community aspect of it and had opened up the place after closing time last Friday for a poetry slam / open mic event. Patrick was very accommodating and essential to make the event a success.

The cafe also hosted a kitten adoption event the same weekend!

If I could, I would give this more than 5 stars.

I like my eggs in a specific way when I have a bacon egg and cheese. Everything was cooked exactly how I like it and well proportioned. My 2 year old son kept asking for more and I knew I was going to want more so that’s why I bought 2! Whoever makes these sandwiches is amazing!

What a great cafe find in the area! Really enjoyed the chicken tacos, avo toast and smoothie.

Menu is varied - love the Korean fusion in some dishes + some brunch and sandwich staples executed really well - and reasonable prices for portion sizes. Service also super friendly!

This is a cafe near the Jersey City Liberty State Park, it is nearby a light rail station. The cafe is comfortable and a spacious. The muffin are delicious, the staff are nice. The cafe does not have disposable cutlery, which helps to save the environment. There are forks and spoons provided and we need to put that in a tray after finished. I had a glass of pineapples and a muffin in the cafe, and got 2 muffins take-away. Overall I am satisfied with the experience.

One suggestion is not to use the stapler for packing take away but stickers instead, when I eat the muffin, I almost swallow the stapler pin.

Ambiance is great. Perfect local spot for grabbing a bite and working on your laptop or reading. Staff are lovely and friendly. Good egg sandwiches with hot honey

Really good spot & food! Was able to find parking, though it was difficult. Average amount of seating. I wish the pastry was warmer & softer, and the chicken/waffles was too sweet for me (wish there was a zesty or spicy element). Good service. I liked the inclusion of East Asian dishes on the menu.

This is not just a regular cafe, they have many options on the menu, the place itself is big and have good ambiance! The staff are welcoming and friendly! Their espresso is good! As for their food, So far I’ve tried their Soy Garlic chicken, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Udon, Bulgogi Rice Bowl and Chicken and Waffles, they all taste good, flavorful and filling! I highly recommend this place!
