Northside Coffee
605 Forest Ave, Bayonne, NJ
Crema's Take
“Northside Coffee is a genuine neighborhood gathering spot in Bayonne where specialty espresso from Oslo Roasters meets community—regulars rave about the carefully crafted drinks, welcoming staff led by owner Juan, and the authentic vibe that draws musicians for live jam sessions and laptop workers alike. Beyond the coffee, the kitchen turns out solid food with healthy options, making it easy to settle in for hours whether you're there for a pour over, a meeting, or just to be part of the local scene. It's the kind of place where you can tell the owners actually care about what they're serving and who walks through the door.”

Went to Northside Coffee to see CatNip Live Music who were incredible! Northside has great food, coffee and drinks and Juan and his staff are amazing! Be sure to support this local small business!
For a coffee shop, the drinks are pretty underwhelming. My hot drinks tasted a bit watery, with very little espresso flavor. It seems like the ingredients might not be the best quality, as the milk and overall texture feel less rich than what I usually get elsewhere.
🌟 The best local neighborhood spot • A Must-Go 🌟 High quality espresso from OSLO Roasters. I even buy the beans from them for coffee at home. The drinks are always crafted with care and they circulate creative seasonal drink specials. ☕️ The kitchen is outrageous! The chefs keep it interesting with weekly specials. One of my recurring favorites is the chorizo breakfast burrito. The chicken avocado club is also a favorite of mine. 🌯 And they are always hosting fun, creative events! You never know what event Juan, the owner, has up his sleeve. From live music after hours to local artisanal vendor markets and ceramic class pop ups, Northside has really ingrained itself in the community. ❤️
I absolutely love this coffee shop—it checks all the boxes. The food is fantastic, the service is top-notch, and it’s the perfect spot to get work done. I especially enjoy the healthy options. If you’re stopping by, don’t miss the egg white omelette—it’s delicious. Also, the owner Juan is a true gentleman—service with a smile.
Today I came to this place for a jam session, last week I met the owner of restaurant and he was invited me to today jam session. It was a great time with musicians we enjoyed our jam session every other Friday they do a music and drumming session. And we so some comedians did a show and they were so good we had a great time with them. We had couple of beers and some appetizers, we like the food we enjoyed it. Thank you guys
