Best coffee shops in Jersey City

Our guide to specialty coffee in Jersey City: 6 verified shops, including Bleu Coffee, bwè kafe and Modcup Coffee. Jersey City has grown its own specialty coffee scene rather than borrowing one from across the river, with a handful of local roasters working out of the Heights, Newport, and the downtown neighborhoods. You will find people roasting their own beans here and a few cafes that pour carefully sourced coffee from respected outside roasters.
