Crema's Take
“B18's food—especially the grilled chicken sandwich—is genuinely excellent and fresher than what you'd expect from a casual coffee spot, but the service is consistently inconsistent: expect long waits, staff indifference once you're seated, and operational chaos that undermines the kitchen's actual talent. Reviews mention fraud issues with their payment system, attitude problems from staff, and a general sense that this place has ambition it can't execute on yet. If you're nearby and patient, the food might be worth stopping in for; otherwise, there are safer bets in Jersey City.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Can't say enough about how delicious and fresh the food is and how warm and welcoming the service was! A must if you are in the City. Check them out. They are by the harbour where you can catch the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Stopped in for breakfast and went back for…
Tried out this place a few months back based on a friend’s recommendation and I must say, it was pretty good for a coffee shop. They had been ordering coffee and a few sandwiches from here pretty regularly so I had to try this place when I visited them. We had a takeout order…
