Bean Vault is an easy pit stop on your morning commute to the PATH station. It opens at 6:30AM during the week and is just around the corner. Though there isn’t a seat to be found in this small shop, the coffee is incredible, and the shop offers a small variety of pastries. Do try the almond milk latte and sprinkle some cinnamon on top if you’re feeling fancy.

Expect ample seating both indoors + out, French music, vegan soup + sandwiches, baguettes, macaroons, croissants, and of course… coffee. Our go-to order is a house blend with vegan soup + side of baguette. There are also a few locations in Jersey City.

First opened in 2015, this shop proudly serves the iconic Lavazza coffee, and the cappuccinos are nothing to scoff at either. If in more of a dessert mood, however, the espresso pudding in a chocolate “cup” is definitely the way to go.

We love you SO matchaIf you’ve ever been to Hoboken’s ShopRite, then you’ve literally been steps away from the gem that is Jefferson’s Coffee. Any fans of an iced coffee will be pleased with this version, but we highly suggest the iced matcha. If you’re not near ShopRite, however, be sure to swing by Jefferson’s downtown location on Washington Street.
