Empire Coffee & Tea
338 Bloomfield St, Hoboken, NJ
Crema's Take
“Empire Coffee & Tea Company has genuine warmth that matches their craft—regulars rave about the supportive community vibe and baristas who genuinely make their day, while the shop itself smells like a Moroccan spice market thanks to sacks of fresh-roasted beans lining the walls. They excel at both coffee fundamentals (excellent drip and espresso) and thoughtful creativity, whether that's their celebrated gluten-free muffins, a perfectly balanced sweet matcha with caramel or pistachio, or carefully sourced tea selections, all without breaking the bank.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

They have the BEST gluten free muffins. So soft and fluffy. They make a great sweet matcha too. I occasionally like to add caramel or pistachio flavoring to it. Also love to buy a box of Harney & Sons green tea packets from here.
