The Biscuit Babe
918 Willow Ave, Hoboken, NJ
Crema's Take
“The Biscuit Babe is a Hoboken gem where the owner's genuine warmth and thoughtful recommendations set the tone for a memorable visit, complemented by creative signature drinks like the BBL Drizzy and Cry Babee alongside expertly crafted biscuits—particularly their standout BBQ Chicken with its buttery, soft biscuit and juicy, savory chicken. While some guests have noted dryness in certain sandwiches, the majority rave about the quality of their pastries, full breakfast offerings, and the inviting brunch atmosphere that makes it perfect for lingering with friends or working solo. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where the hospitality and personality shine as brightly as the thoughtfully crafted menu.”

Food & Drinks: We ordered the Basic Babe, BBL Drizzy, and Cry Babee, along with lavender lemonade and matcha babe. The biggest issue was that the sandwiches were very dry. The biscuit itself is really good, but once it turns into a sandwich, it's where it goes wrong. The chicken was too thick and not coated in enough sauce for the biscuit size and texture. The egg, cheese, and sausage were also very dry with the biscuit. It feels like, because the biscuit was good, that they thought they could put anything with it and it would taste good, but they didn't put much thought into the sandwich creation and build. The drinks were terrible. The counter person raved about the drinks and how they would taste, but they lacked flavor. They were warm instead of iced, and the additional flavorings that we asked for were not present in the drinks. When we asked for more sauce because the sandwiches were dry, we were told the sauces cost a dollar each for a very small amount. Atmosphere and Service: It's a cute, small, cozy place, there are tables to eat and dine, but it's very intimate. There was one person working the counter and it looked like one person was in the kitchen cooking. The counter person was a great server but he did make our order to go which we didn't ask for and we waited 15 minutes for our drinks due to the fact that he was sitting at the counter eating a sandwich behind the register and our drinks were not made the way we asked. Overall we wanted to come out and support the business and try the food I would not return due to the unpleasant experience with the food but hopefully they will make some changes for future customers.
Just tried the BBQ Biscuit from Biscuit Babe, and listen… this thing is serious. The biscuit is soft and buttery, but the real moment starts when you hit that juicy chicken layered with those savory, caramelized onions. It’s the kind of bite that makes you stop mid-conversation. And the BBQ sauce? Sweet, smoky, a little tangy the perfect finish that ties everything together without drowning the flavors. It hits every corner of your taste buds in the best way. If you love comfort food with real depth and flavor, this one is worth every crumb.
The Owner was so welcoming and eager to serve us. She recommended some popular options to help us with our decision making and she was right, they were very good. Decided to try the Cinna babe as well which was amazing, and she was so sweet giving us an extra so we didn’t have to split it. Their chai drink was very tasty, perfect spices for the holidays. And to top it off— as we were getting ready to finish up, she came out with her biscuit and gravy for us to try, just because she really wanted us to try it (and it was absolutely delicious). When you have people who care about your experience and their food, it truly shows and creates an all around better experience for the guests. Having great food on top of that is always a plus! Thanks for having us, we’ll be sure to visit again soon!
