The chic Aussie-style coffee shop Bluestone Lane has recently opened its doors on Washington Street, and coffee lovers everywhere are rejoicing. Bringing its signature Gold Coast vibe and fun, modern interior to the East Coast, Bluestone offers popular menu items such as avocado smash toast, and their expert baristas brew sustainable coffee.

Even though it’s right around the corner from the famous Carlo’s Bake Shop, The Roost Outpost can still draw a crowd. Its vintage look and feel combined with its comfy and laid-back vibe create a welcoming ambiance for friends to hang out in and enjoy a pour-over cup or Nitro-brewed coffee. The Roost Outpost also houses a small marketplace where you can purchase artisan and lifestyle goods.

On the border of Hoboken and Jersey City, Black Rail Coffee is so good that they can serve two towns. Swing by this cozy yet lofty and minimalist café to fuel up on hot pour-over coffee, espresso, and their Sandwich of the Month.

At this café, there’s more to a cup of coffee than meets the eye. The heritage and inspiration behind Jefferson’s Coffee is a family roasting plant in Tucson, Arizona. Today, you can come here for fresh-roasted coffee beans and local dairy products that go into creating espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes.

At their third and only New Jersey location, Hoboken’s City of Saints coffee shop prides themselves on having integrity, ethics, and undeniably delicious coffee. With an unabashedly unapologetic motto, “drink what you like,” City of Saints makes flavorful cups in a stylish storefront that has a distinctly mid-century mod style.

Located right near the waterfront walkway and only a few blocks from the ferry, train and PATH station, Bean Vault Coffee is perfect for grabbing a coffee on your way to work or a weekend walk. It’s a welcoming and rustic shop with plenty of sweet treats, too.

This petite corner café serves fresh, hot coffee and artisan loose-leaf tea from their storefront on Willow Street. On top of that, Maroon Cafe Bake Shop also sells sweet treats, sourdough bagels, and ice cream to satiate your sweet tooth.

Bwè kafe means “drink coffee” in Haitian. Coffee shop owner and philanthropist Maryanne Fike opened Bwè Kafe as a means of supporting her foundation, Love for Haiti/The Ark Project, which funds and assists youth education programs for children in Haiti. At Bwè Kafe, they serve Haitian-style coffee and baked goods, but it’s the mission and heart of the coffee shop that truly makes an impact.
