Forum Coffee (Downtown Hoboken)
123 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ
Crema's Take
“This petite Hoboken spot wins hearts with its espresso-focused menu and creative signature drinks like their Cloud Matcha Coconut—a refreshingly light take that skips heavy sweetness. The cozy, intimate space perfectly suits a quick coffee run rather than a work session, and while pricing leans higher (expect around $7.50 for specialty drinks), the friendly staff and genuinely good coffee keep locals coming back. Just note that consistency matters here: their cold brew and espresso drinks shine, but matcha preparations can be hit-or-miss depending on who's behind the counter.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab.

Great coffee! Also super reasonable for a local coffee shop with a great priced latte! It’s a small space so it’s not recommended to sit and work there, but everyone is super friendly. I would definitely recommend this neighborhood spot.
A cosy spot to grab a quick coffee. Pricing was on higher end. Paid 7.5$ for a small hot choc with oat milk. Service wasn’t very welcoming either.
Small, cutesy coffee shop with good coffee and a nice cozy vibe. I went here on a warm autumn morning and got a nitro cold brew with some oat milk. It was quite nice. I sat here for a bit reading my book and all in all I had a great experience. Will definitely be back.
Extremely disappointed. Instead of being properly whisked, the iced matcha latte was literally just milk with a pile of dry matcha powder dumped on top. Every sip was a mouthful of bitter, chalky clumps — completely undrinkable. I wish I had taken a photo before I mixed it, but…
Tried both the Cloud Matcha Coconut and the Cloud Espresso Coconut, sooo good! Super refreshing, light, and not sweet in a heavy way at all. The matcha one (in the pic) was smooth and just right. And the espresso one, no photo because I literally finished it before I remembered…
