Incontro Caffe
351 Summit Ave, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“This beautifully designed Jersey City gem has mastered the art of creative, ingredient-forward drinks like their viral Hojicha Cacao Latte with pistachio milk and a fresh raspberry specialty that tastes unmistakably premium. The welcoming staff and sophisticated-yet-cozy ambiance make it feel like settling into a friend's living room, whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or lingering over their excellent pastries and cappuccinos. It's become a neighborhood staple precisely because they've nailed the balance between serious, espresso-focused coffee and playful seasonal creations that actually taste as good as they sound.”

They were fast and have fun flavors. The raspberry was fresh and I can def taste this was made with premium ingredients. I can’t wait to go back to try more
Since opening, incontro has become a staple to my routine in Jersey City. Great service each time with truly quality coffee and pastries. Feels like you’re in your beautifully designed living room, enjoying your choice beverage. The owners also do an incredible job of interacting with its patrons, constantly asking for feedback and even bringing events to the space (I.e. coffee tastings) to further exemplify their mission of building community. Best coffee spot in Jersey City!
This coffee shop is a true hidden gem with a wonderful ambience. The host was incredibly polite and welcoming, making the experience even better. You have to try the amazing cappuccino and the rich, thick Italian drinking chocolate. I absolutely recommend stopping by!
What a gem!!! I got the Hojicha Cacao Latte with pistachio milk and I had no expectations coming here, but they exceeded tremendously! The sweetest workers, the vibe, and the space was soo good and so cozy. Will be coming back to try more specialty drinks!
NEW no-tipping neighborhood cafe serving strawberry shortcake latte and delicious chocolate chip cookies in Journal Square. I really can’t stand tipping culture. I’d much rather see restaurants pay their workers a fair wage instead of shifting that responsibility onto customers. That’s why it warmed my heart to see Incontro Caffe stated that they pay their staff fairly right on their signage. They even removed the tipping screen from checkout. All menu prices are tax-included, and NO EXTRA CHARGE for alternative milk. More of this, please!! It’s not just a socially responsible community café. The drinks are actually delicious, and the vibes are chill and cozy. Friendly baristas, comfy seating, plenty of space, and a clean, gender-neutral bathroom. So lovely to have them in my neighborhood. *Strawberry Shortcake Latte $7 * I really enjoyed the strawberry shortcake latte, which came with strawberry purée, coffee, and a generous plop of whipped cream topped with dried strawberries. The sweetness level was just right. *Matcha Strawberry Latte $7 The matcha, on the other hand, leaned more bitter even with the strawberry purée, and I personally think it could’ve used a little less milk or more matcha powder. We even got to sample their Chocolate Chunk Cookie and damn, that was unbelievably delicious! It was a fat and chunky cookie packed with semi-sweet chocolate chips and sprinkled with sea salt. It seriously rivals those famous cookies in NYC.
