Beni Coffee
216 19th St, Union City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Beni Coffee feels like a carefully curated European-style refuge, where every detail—from the mid-century modern furniture to the thoughtful design—creates a space that's as much about lingering and connecting as it is about exceptional coffee and food. The team clearly knows their craft, pulling excellent traditional and specialty drinks while maintaining the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you want to settle in with a book, sketch, or friend rather than rush out the door. It's become a rare neighborhood anchor, the kind of place where quality ingredients, aesthetic care, and authentic warmth converge into something that locals are genuinely grateful to have found.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Beni Coffee is truly the best thing to happen to this neighborhood in a long time. From the moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in the most beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully designed space. The mid-century modern furniture gives the café such an elevated, chic feel while still…
