For all the freelancers and coffee shop campers out there, finding a place to work after 5PM on any given day can be a real production. Even more so, finding a caffeinated beverage + a quaint coffee shop to sip it in after dinner time is a scavenger hunt in and of itself. Luckily, many Hoboken and Jersey City establishments have heard your cries for caffeine and made themselves readily available for late-night coffee consumers, some having sit-down options, and some just giving you an option to grab and go. Read on to discover the list of coffee shops that are open until at least 6PM in Hoboken + Jersey City.

 While the Jersey City location closes at regular dinner hours, the Hoboken location is open late. At this cozy cafe, locals can find lattes, cappuccinos, and all other sorts of brews. This spot also serves wraps, sandwiches, pastries, and more.

Alfalfa | 1110 Washington Street, Hoboken + 160 1st Street, Jersey City

Hoboken location open until 8PM on weekdays; Jersey City location open until 8:30PM Monday-Thursday, 8PM on Friday

Predominantly a salad shop born originally in Hoboken (with a location now in Jersey City), Alfalfa is one of our favorites. It’s a cafe-style spot that isn’t your typical coffee shop WFH spot — that said, it does serve a slew of coffees and other caffeinated drinks. Try the matcha latte, and thank us later.

Bagels on the Hudson | 802 Washington Street

Open 24 hours

Hoboken’s only 24-hour bagel shop, Bagels on the Hudson has an array of bagels and toppings to serve any carb craving, day or night. Since we’re talking coffee, there’s also a DIY coffee station with the basics: cream, sugar, and some syrups. It’s no frills, but then again, most of the best things are.

Empire Tea + Coffee Company | 338 Bloomfield Street

Open until 8PM on weekdays, 7PM on weekends

A Hoboken favorite, Empire Tea +  Coffee provides that caffeine fix to keep freelancers on point from morning to night. This long-standing gem has all of the great vibes one needs to get the job done.

 

Jefferson’s Coffee | 534 Washington Street + 1001 Madison Street

Various hours

The Washington Street location has varying hours, but the Washington Street location never closes before 7PM (except on Mondays). The Madison Street location is open until 6PM on Thursdays and Saturdays. Jefferson’s Coffee is also a great WFH spot. The coffee varieties are rich and fresh baked goods are made by hand.

Joboken Café | 23 Hudson Place

Open until 6:30PM Tuesday-Friday, 6PM Monday + Saturday

Joboken Café is located at 23 Hudson Place, right next to the PATH station. The storefront itself is small, but has outside seating and a walk-up window. Along with delish coffee, Joboken also sells baked goods, Natalie’s juices, yogurt, biscotti, and other snacks to compliment your morning brew.

Mojo Coffee Company | 801 Bloomfield Street + 230 Willow Avenue

Open until 6PM

With two locations in the Mile Square, Mojo is a certified coffee fixture in town. The Bloomfield location is open until 6PM (the Willow Avenue until 5:30PM), and has a great WFH setup for any of our remote friends out there. Plenty of tables, outlets, and little treats for days.

Prime Corner | 301 Madison Street

Open until 12AM

While this is not a sit-down, laptop-out kind of place, any passersby can run into Prime Corner (or any Prime grocery spot in Hoboken, for that matter) for that midnight caffeine fix. Grab some last-minute groceries while you’re there, too.

Pour Amor | 123 Washington Street

Open until 6PM on weekends

Pour Amor describes itself as Hoboken’s first pour-over specialty coffee house. For those who may not know, pour-over coffee is made by manually pouring hot water, set to the exact right temperature, onto ground coffee beans, then allowing the caffeinated beverage to brew. The interior in Pour Amor has limited seating, but there is a table and a few chairs if you’re looking to meet up with a friend after work.

Toast x Bowl | 328 Washington Street

Open until 9PM

Toast x Bowl serves a unique array of sandwiches and bowls — each turning a classic meal on its head with an Asian-style twist. The drink menu is just as expansive as the eats, with an array of hot and iced coffee options to indulge in.

Jersey City

Butler Café | 350 Warren Street

Open until 8PM

“Strong Coffee and Tasty Treats” is Butler Cafe’s motto, and it is spot-on. Butler Cafe keeps its doors open until 8PM. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and hit the books.

Creme Brewtique | 558 West Side Avenue

Open until 8PM Monday-Thursday, 9PM Friday-Sunday

This woman-owned cafe opened in May 2023, and the interior is a visual treat itself, with its candy-colored hues across the walls, whimsical Alice in Wonderland-themed table tops, and a gorgeous floral backdrop with pink velvet chairs. On the menu, caffeine fiends can find a decadent selection of coffees (think white chocolate mocha with edible glitter) and bubble teas.

City Cafe + Grill | 2800 John F. Kennedy Boulevard

Open until 12AM

This spot located in Journal Square has a great selection of bagels, pastries, and coffee, but it recently rebranded to feature lunch + dinner items on its menu, too. The staff is friendly and it’s a nice low-key spot to get some work done.

Crema | 1 Duncan Avenue

Dunkin Donuts | Multiple Locations

Open 24 hours + until 9PM

Although a chain, Dunkin Donuts is another 24-hour option that does not disappoint. Pop in for a classic coffee + doughnut combo – we’re fans of a good ol’ fashioned glazed doughnut. Grab a cold brew to-go or take a seat for a late-night nibble or breakfast. 

7-Eleven | Multiple Locations

Open 24 hours

While not the most glamorous of options, and definitely not a sit-down option, 7-Eleven coffee gets the job done at all hours of the day. Whether it’s 2PM and you’re out for a midday pick-me-up, or it’s 2AM and you’re stumbling in for that extra shot of Joe to keep you going, you’ll never be without your caffeine fix.
