Crema's Take
“This cozy Jersey City gem excels at inventive specialty lattes like ube and pistachio that feel genuinely exciting rather than gimmicky, paired with thoughtfully made Vietnamese-inspired light bites like pork belly banh mi. The intimate, printer-friendly space strikes that perfect balance between a serious third place for focused work and a warm neighborhood spot where friendly staff remember your order, making it feel like a local secret worth discovering.”

Great food! We ordered pork belly banh mi and egg&spam bowl, both are very delicious! More delicious than expected!
Amazing experience at Short Grain! The food was absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients, great flavor balance, and beautifully presented dishes. The service was friendly and fast, and the staff made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner with friends. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area – highly recommend!
I stopped here for morning drinks and had the ube latte it was really good. It’s a cute, cozy place, the staff is very nice, and they even have printer space if you want to print something.
Recently visited this place and really enjoyed it. We tried the ube coffee and pistachio latte both were amazing. They have a very interesting menu with lots of unique coffee options to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful, and even gave good suggestions on what to try. Definitely worth visiting if you’re looking for something different and flavorful.
This is a small cute cafe in the heart of Jersey City. It is closer from the Grove St exit of PATH station. We grabbed couple of summer favourites coffee and they were amazing. Hands down one of the best i havw tasted so far. We had Banana Mocha and Blueberry Matcha. Matcha was good but Banana flavored Mocha was superb. I’ll definitely be back now that i stay 2 min away.
