Probably favorite coffee place in Hoboken. I love their coffees and I love the sisters that work there they are so nice and entertaining. I get my beans there as well. A must hit!

The prepared coffee and fresh beans are so good. But during the morning rush, the workers talk and talk and talk while a queue extends out the door. Seen it many times.

They have the BEST gluten free muffins. So soft and fluffy. They make a great sweet matcha too. I occasionally like to add caramel or pistachio flavoring to it. Also love to buy a box of Harney & Sons green tea packets from here.

Empire Coffee & Tea Company – Hoboken I’ve been going to Empire Coffee for a minute now, and I swear this place has its claws in me in the best way. It’s one of those spots you wander into once and suddenly you’re like, “Wow, guess I’m a regular now.” And honestly? Proud of it. I’ve basically worked my way through half their menu at this point—hot, iced, seasonal. I recently decided I’m entering my Black Coffee Era (character development), and their black coffee actually tastes like… coffee. Not burnt water. Not overpriced bitterness. Just genuinely good, rich brew for like two bucks. The vibe inside is exactly the kind of chill I need before I attempt being a functional human. The staff is young, friendly, and has that effortless cool energy that makes you feel welcome without being weird about it. Very much “we’re all in this caffeine struggle together.” Love that. One of my favorite things: they sell beans. Like actual, honest-to-goodness coffee beans you can buy whole or ask them to grind for you. Tons of varieties, all reasonably priced. I just grabbed a bag and I’m embarrassingly excited to use my new coffee maker at home like some kind of domestic caffeine goddess. And t

Stumbled upon this cute coffee shop and immediately noticed the long but fast moving line which is a good sign! They're a true one stop shop for coffee lovers, offering great service, delicious hot latte, and a plethora of bean options for home brewing. I loved that they have a machine to grind the beans right there, plus they sell various card games, tea, and coffee appliances. The cost is also very reasonable. The Downside: I was disappointed they don't make cold brew. My iced coffee had a slight French vanilla or sweet note which isn't to my personal taste, but overall, they are definitely worth checking out for the quality beans and unique selection!
