Your typical coffee snobs that think there is no other coffee shop than them and Starbucks, maybe cause all they know is White only establishments. I recommend you go literally anywhere else, after all you are in Jersey City a vibrant city with a long history of great coffee from Latin America. Anywhere else would be better than this uppity White gentrifying space. The white male presenting at the register is extremely disrespectful and passive aggressive. Newsflash, there is great coffee in many other places in Jersey City, that are also cozy and welcoming!
I love this place! Great vibe and coffee! Awesome little cafe to check out.
Everything about this place is superb. We had a house blend hot latte and a pour over Panama Gesha, both were excellent. The best of our trip. And we haven't even got to the decor which is also extremely cool and chill. We can probably sit here all day and be happy. The batista (or owner?) was very knowledgeable and masterful. He was the only batista for the whole trip who invited us to smell the coffee after it was grounded and during the second dripping process.10 out of 5 if we can give that to this place!
I recently tried the Secret Affair espresso blend. It’s an incredible everyday coffee. Bright and fruity and also dark and rich. Good price point and a lot going with this one.
What a great experience. Friendly staff great coffee. Travas from the UK ?? gave me a tour of his roasters i loved it and the smell is out of this world. Would highly recommend.
What a lovely warm and welcoming coffee shop ! They know what they are doing ! Chris is one of the nicest barista I met in my life !
Modcup is a truly exceptional roaster and coffee shop. In Jersey City, it's fair to say they are second to none. In my four years living here, I've walked into the Journal Square roasting facility a handful of times. Each time, I've learned something new and valuable about specialty coffee. Their cold brew, pour overs, espresso, and milk drinks have all been world class. When I have ordered beans online or purchased from local retailers, the offerings have always been unique and delicious.In the past year, I began working for a business that exclusively uses Modcup in all of our drinks from filter to espresso, and I've seen first hand the quality and consistency from month to month. Shoutout to Malcolm and the two Chrises for all the helpful info and fun talks on my last visit! These guys are the real deal.
Excellent coffee. Knowledgeable and welcoming staff. They feature a rare San Remo Opera espresso machine. Very cool.
Was there a few weekends back looking for a great single origin coffee. The barista there, I think his name was Ricky, helped me find the perfect one for me! It was delicious. He was so patient and took his time to really understand what I was looking for. Can't wait to go back.
If you really appreciate coffee, this is the place. If you are unsure, ask them - they do a wonderful job of explaining each of their roasts and how they taste, it’s not just posh speak. It’s good coffee, period.
