First, you have to know that if Misa is working (he’s in the photo), you NEED to order an iced latte from him. Trust me. He does some thing with the milk that just makes it absolutely magical without being sweet. Best. Latte. Ever.
I’m a busy realtor in Hoboken and Jersey City. I have been in every coffee shop and every brunch spot there is. My boyfriend is a Home Inspector has been in even more than me. This place is our favorite go-to.
I’ve liked every food item I’ve gotten there. If my friend is sick, I get a soup from dolce and salato. If I’m in a hurry, I grab one of their chicken Caesar wraps or any other pre-made food and feel spoiled eating it every time. And unsurprisingly, their pastries, gooooooood lord, they always make my day.

Surprisingly good lasagna! Not what you were expecting either right? Super nice spot to chill outside with some pastries or cookies. Solid egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast.
But yeah, I'm really surprised by how good the lasagna was. It was priced at $17 and the portion wasn't ginormous - but the quality and taste were better than a lot of other spots in Hoboken. From a pastry place.
As far as coffee goes, I have to figure out my order. Overheard a staff member mentioning they had the best iced lattes - so I ordered one. They pour the espresso over ice and then blend it - and then toss that over your milk or whatever. Wasn't bad - but, maybe call it something else. I still prefer espresso over milk on ice cubes. They do use lavazza coffee beans - those are pretty good.
Tough not to leave without some cookies - especially with the toddler shouting 'i want this one' at anything with a sign of chocolate on it. I'm personally a fan of the the tri color cookies (cakes?).
Overall fun spot - a bit of a trek for where I am in the neighborhood, but we'll worth it on a nice day.

I've only tried the pastries and a rice ball so far, but the sandwiches and entrees look good. Service is great.

Very good food, pastries and espressos. Casual atmosphere and very clean which is the perfect breakfast stop or taking food to go. Their sandwiches and eggplant parm are very tasty but their gravy i.e. red sauce is amazing!!

Terrible and rude service. They were not interested in being nice or us having a pleasant experience - people really underestimate the power of being nice! Croissant was terrible, burnt and not fresh. The only good part was the whatever this rice ball was hence the 2 stars. Won’t be coming back here again!
I have been coming here since day 1 & never have I been so disappointed! I waited for 40 min for an avocado toast & was given a prosciutto panini. I had to ask the staff 4 times for the status of my order. Additionally, my cappuccino was cold & the peach tea I ordered was chai tea! Terrible experience & I will not return.

My Italian partner and I, visiting from Rome, stopped at this bakery today with a close friend for some pastries, coffee, and a chat. We were *so* pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. The pastries were great, and upon discovering a fellow Italian, the friendly owner offered us a coffee. Though not familiar to my partner, the 7-layer cookie was great. The chestnut-chocolate cake was delicious, and the pumpkin pie was lovely, too. The pasticciotti, cantucci, and pine nut cookies looked so good we took some home for our American family, along with another small chestnut chocolate cake. Highly recommend, with an Italian's stamp of approval. Bravi!!
Their coffee is rich and flavorful, while their pastries are freshly baked and delicious and not too sweet. The buon santo panini has the perfect balance of ingredients and is so yummy! The people working here are so friendly and the service is great. My new favorite place!
