Kaffa Espresso Bar
276 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Kaffa Espresso Bar is a genuine European-style espresso haven where the owner and baristas take their craft seriously enough that regulars trust them to fuel their entire workday. Beyond the expertly pulled shots and specialty drinks, you'll find yourself lingering over an exceptional chocolate croissant in a welcoming space that's equally suited for a quick caffeine fix or a long morning of work, all at prices that won't break the bank.”

As a small business owner, great coffee isn’t a luxury for me—it’s fuel. And Kaffa absolutely delivers. My engine truly runs on their drinks, and they serve some of the best coffee in the area, hands down. Every cup is thoughtfully crafted—bold, smooth, and consistently excellent. Their house-made tiramisu is out of this world—rich, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with love. The pastries are just as unforgettable. The chocolate croissant, pistachio muffin, and apricot croissant are flaky, fresh, and completely delectable. Every bite feels indulgent in the best way. Kaffa is one of those rare spots that gets everything right: exceptional coffee, incredible pastries, warm vibes, and true passion behind the craft. Whether you’re powering through a busy workday or slowing down to savor the moment, this place is a Jersey City gem.
Kaffa Espresso Bar is an excellent spot for coffee and croissant lovers. The service and quality are truly top-notch. The owner and baristas are highly skilled and consistently prepare coffee exactly to your preference. The pastries are baked fresh daily, and it shows. The apricot croissant is a standout—fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.
Great cafe in Jersey City! An amazing chocolate croissant, great frappe… a true Euro style cafe in the heart of JC! Prices are reasonable as well. Highly recommended place! Congrats, Al!🙏🏼
Got a great mocha latte here and the staff were very pleasant! Also looks like a nice place to get some work done
We were doing an early morning run to a bakery when we needed our coffee fix, and this was the only spot open around 7 a.m. We walked in and were greeted by the barista, who was friendly and happy to answer a few questions about their flavor options. We ended up getting the usual—caramel lattes. The caramel definitely had a different taste, more homemade and not overly sweet. It was actually pretty good, though next time I’ll ask for a little more caramel. The vibe of the coffee shop was very cozy—exactly what you want in a quiet early-morning stop
