Arc Tsuki

Amazing. First time being here and I'm already in love with the place. Will be coming here very more often.

Joel Brooks

Friendly staff, a lot of neighborhood regulars in the morning (around rush hour). Still plenty of seating. Coffee was great too.

Mary Odufuwa

Visiting here from California and I have to say this was one of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had. The oat milk was fantastic. Highly recommend you give this place a visit!!

Becky Barstein

Good place for a quick coffee or a place to hangout and work. Good amount of seating and great music (normally playing hip hop). La columbe coffee and decent snacks. Not a meal kind of place.

danesh j

Good local neighborhood coffee shop. They have Wi-Fi and take cards. They have Oatmilk which is great, and AlmondMilk too but no soy (Oatmilk is a good alternative though if you haven't tried it). Friendly staff. A bunch of different pastries. No meals but there is open fridge with some pre-packaged salads.

Trish Szymanski

Good service, easy vibe, MilkSugarLove's PBJ Bar insane, extra good coffee beverages.

Tony Vijayan

Consistent quality coffee over many visits!

John Collins

Great food and coffee and clean

Christina Dorando

This place is amazing. They have really great beans and skilled baristas that turns out incredible caffeinated drinks!!! Their cappacunio is top notch and my go to in all of jersey city. Have also fired their iced lattes, cortados, various pastry items and all have been very delicious. We come at least weekly (because we have to drive here as it is not walkable from our home) but definitly more if they were closer!!!

Cute coffee shop, awesome coffee and desserts. Wish they had a few more snacks but I am sure in time.. I thought prices would be slightly less in this area.

Nafeesa S

I love the service, AND the coffee is great. The draft late is life-changing.

Lisa Marie Zapata

This was a great accidental find. I was in the area on business and had about 40 minutes until my next appointment. The cafe is neat, clean, and beautiful. The staff is pleasant and my drink was good.

Jennifer Love Williams

Cozy and comfortable

Alejandra Ruiz-Dana

This is the first business I visited in the area. It was such a pleasant discovery. I thought I would have to go back the Paulus Hook or downtown Jersey City areas to find something like this. The coffee shop serves La Colombe coffee, which is one of the best coffees around. All of their baristas are very friendly and attentive. Orders are fulfilled quickly, so the wait time, if any, is very short. The regular coffee is excellent and so are the espresso drinks. In the summer time, I recommend the draft coffee. The pastries are outstanding, too. Last, but not least, the space is well-lit and very welcoming. Good for working, people-watching and/or hanging out. Can you tell I love this place?

Cynthia Cortes

Great quality coffee I have had in a long time. Well recommended.

Jeremy Langer

This coffee shop has a very chill atmosphere and is priced right. The coffee is delicious and hits the spot every time.

Joy S

Friendly n pet friendly atmosphere

J Lynn Gladkowski

This is my favorite coffee shop in Jersey City. Really friendly staff who go out of their way to get to know their customers, great music always playing, chill vibes, & the black & tan cold brew/draft latte is the greatest iced coffee drink ever invented! So glad The Grind is in my neighborhood.

Ray Z

I recommend this place to a lot of people. Hot lattes are Fire! And the cold brew- latte cold draft, mind blown delicious. Love that they bring in Donut Planet donuts into their space to share with the world. I used to live at Donut Planet when I lived in NYC. Overall great spot for family, dogs and loners

Kevin Joel Berland

Outstanding coffee, friendly staff and neighbors, beautifully designed room, a real treasure in Lafayette.

ashley swiggett

This is the best coffee in the neighborhood! The staff is amazing, always courteous and fast. They also have donuts from donut plant on weekends and they're amazing. I have to stop myself from buying more :) I hope they keep expanding ... maybe up the hill a bit to Bergen?

brooke tippens

My new go to spot for coffee in JC. Excellent service and coffee drinks. I had a cafe mocha. One less star for the playlist - not a fan of the profanity-laced hip hop. Happy to support a local business.

Mario Cortes

best spot for coffee/ small bites in jc

It was a great place to work! It's cozy and super clean. The staff are friendly and you can see that different kinds of people like coming in here. It is a very modern setup and probably the only food/beverage joint on the whole street that takes card. Definitely worth 5/5 stars!

Nice place.

E R

It's sad to see a new business move into this low income neighborhood and charge $4.21 for a DONUT! The Gentrification has begun to spread from downtown Jersey city. It's an outrage and they should be ashamed of their Trumpistic ways. It's not right to put an establishment in a neighborhood and make it too expensive for the local residents to eat there. Stop the Gentrification NOW!

Gilbert Moore

Undeniably the best coffee in JC.

Mor Sheinbein

Great, cozy, and hip coffee shop in JC

A lovely place in a calm neighborhood. Me and my mum really enjoyed our short trip in new jersey and this place made it even better. Every products tastes sooo good and everyone are so nice and friendly. Thank you !

Christopher Perrotta

THE HIPSTERS ARE COMING.. THE HIPSTERS ARE COMING. It's exactly what you'd expect in a neighborhood that's being slowly gentrified. Coming soon: The Barber Shop, The Vape Shop, and The Craft Brew bar.

Love the drinks here. I love that they offer almond and soy milk choices. Cool vibes.

Eugene Grinberg

Fantastic addition to the neighborhood. Great La Colombe coffee prepared perfectly, excellent pastries (including Donut Plant on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays), good music and atmosphere, and friendly employees. Basically everything you'd want in a coffee shop.

Modern design with high quality coffee and good. $7 for an iced coffee and pastry.

Alexis Mullen

Great coffee and bagels

Delicious, strong coffee! Had a small coffee and I was amped for a few hours! Definitely would recommend :).

Juan Galvan

Great drinks hot or iced. Awesome staff.

Alex Kudryavtsev

Cool spot. I love the coffee cup lids. I loved the friendly barista and how she made the experience an authentic one. I was just on my way from NJ to BK, will probably never stop by there again, but the Americano I was served was awesome.

Crew Hunter

Sorry Hoboken, been to your "Top 3 Coffee Shops" but this one beats it hands down. Tucked away in a cross intersection on Communipaw Avenue, if you ever wanna sit down and enjoy a serious but aromatic cup of joe,you' re here. Definitely worth the drive or walk depending where ur coming from.Great staff,clean,and just cool vibe...enjoy!

Heather Jimenez

Best coffee NJ, if not in the tri-state area. Shout out to Mateo for always being warm and inviting. You guys are greatly appreciated!

Gloria Grant

The coffee is pretty good, along with the croissants.

Tim Bradshaw

Stopped in quickly, OK tea selection but had donuts from donut plant in NYC. Definitely worth a try if you haven't had the pleasure yet.

Erin Acheson

I find myself here every day when I'm visiting.

H Bush

Great espresso drinks!

Danny Weller

I am so glad to have this great coffee place in my neighborhood. Staff are super chill, and Charles is definitely in charge. Good coffee, super friendly vibes. Worth a visit.

Eric Shaw

Got a pretty good iced latte today. They have limited milk options (only had whole or skim) but maybe I'm just being spoiled by Starbucks. The staff were very friendly and the place was very clean. Really like the minimal design, props to the decorator. They have Planet Donut donuts on weekends here which is cool.

Ram Khat

I was pretty disappointed with this place for a couple of reasons. They charged me an extra $1 on top of the latte price for lavendar syrup. This was not stated anywhere on the menu. In addition, the owner tried charging me 75 cents for a cup of water. He tried justifying by saying "I pay for the cups". Aah such disappointment after overpaying for a latte which was mediocre in taste. I went to this place with high expectations after reading positive reviews but unfortunately my experience was a bit bitter. I am sorry but you've lost a customer.

Gautam Shankar

Great spot, rivals that of any modern cappuccino shop. Nice simple menu, and open welcoming atmosphere. I live just around the block, but never noticed it! I hope to see these guys in business for decades on end.

Fatima Mcdad

Mmmmm their pastries are sooo goood! Coffee and coffee drinks were very good as well! Staff was extremely polite and helpful!

Paul Y.

Coffee was on point ^.^ they even ground up a bag to go. The oat milk is to die for :) the people who work there are chill and there’s a good atmosphere

Ed French

Had an espresso, which was correctly made and very good. My wife had the cold brew, and it was actually very delicious. The staff was also very friendly. Nice interior, but the seats weren't the most comfortable for heavy people like me.

Joao Klein

Googled a decent roasters for a latte, drove myself all the way from Newark. It was worthy. Latte was excellent and fairly priced for the quality. Doughnuts were expensive, but of the highest quality too. Place was clean, checkout was fast, they have plugs and WiFi, and service was very good! I’m Definitely coming back.

FRANKLYN Diaz

Great coffee, service, prepare to your liking,awesome pastries,clientele and just about everything. The music could use a more versatile D.J. but it'll do.

Timothy Cadiz

This place is Legitness

Amy Perchick

Friendly staff with good beverage and food choices.

Josh Tede

Good coffee, atmosphere, and tempting sweets.

Sherita Smith

Small, cozy place with a nice ambiance. The coffee, teas, and pastries are great. They have an open Mic night but it's a different crowd than those that frequent the spot during the day. A lot of young people, teenagers to early 20s. Otherwise, great, great place!

Daniel Lieuwen

Jazz. Reasonable prices. Variety of beverages and food items

Outlet Home Inspections

As a small business owner myself, can't think of a better way to fuel myself but with some Grind Shop Coffee. Both the hot coffee and ice coffee are solid options. This is a nice boutique style coffee shop with a very welcoming seating area. I also enjoy the small pastries including the chocolate croissant and doughnut options.

Vanessa Ponder

Love it great coffee great service, as well as other refreshing drinks. Live jazz the last Friday of the month. Oh and the donuts on the week are to die for

Geovanny Llano

Great coffee great people

Good, cheap coffee and didn't even once make fun of me for ordering a decaf Americano.

High quality coffee, friendly service and a setting you actually want to spend time in.
