9 Cafe - Jersey City

Charming café with a striking black-and-white historic photograph of Newark Avenue's pedestrian street. It's an ideal spot to grab a coffee and unwind from the bustling energy of downtown Jersey City. Conveniently located near the Grove Street PATH station. The restroom is clean and well-maintained, available for customers only.

This charming little coffee shop has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The coffee is expertly crafted and the prices are reasonable. If you find this location a bit too cozy, there’s a larger spot in the Urby Building. However, I personally prefer this one. They also have a bathroom that is well-maintained and clean.

In my quest to support local businesses and discover the best coffee in downtown Jersey City, I've found that 9 Bar Cafe is my favorite so far. The service was quick, and the croissant was fresh—although I was told it was chocolate, it had a hazelnut flavor instead. Regardless, it was delicious! The walls were adorned with floral artwork by a local artist, which is available for purchase. Overall, it was a lovely experience with fantastic coffee!

Good little cafe. I enjoyed my matcha latte. I brought my laptop to sit for a bit and work on stuff while enjoying my latte, but unfortunately their wifi wasn’t working and they don’t have bathroom for customers. So I’d recommend this place for take-out only if you live in the area. Maybe the other location on Greene st. has more of a workplace-like environment—but not this one on Erie st. Just FYI :

Love this place! Fresh coffee no matter what time of day and awesome desserts like green tea tiramisu or matcha coconut doughnuts.
