LACKAWANNA COFFEE
295 Grove St, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Tucked away on Grove Street, this underground-feeling gem combines brutalist charm indoors with a hidden backyard oasis complete with tree cover, creating the perfect escape whether you're rushing in for your morning espresso or settling in for a slow afternoon. The baristas here have earned genuine affection from regulars who describe the vibe as warm and communal, with stellar espresso drinks that justify the passionate following this spot has built across Jersey City. It's the kind of place where the staff feel like friends and every visit feels like coming home.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.
