- Tons of tasty French pastries (sweet + savory) to choose from. Recommend the coffee, quiche loraine, ham & cheese croissant, & pain au chocolate! Take it to go or sit & enjoy the cozy atmosphere.
Eaters HeavenJuly 21, 2016Pastries, bread, quiche, coffee drinks...adorable place. One of the best chocolate croissants I've ever had! Flaky, crisp & moist with just enough chocolate. Double macchiato was pretty damn good too
Amy Johnson CookMarch 17, 2013Amazing, so glad they joined the neighborhood! Smaller than their location in Hoboken but still the same great selection. Love the croissant but the fresh raspberry pastry was absolutely heaven.
A cozy little bakery/café that serves coffee from La Colombe Torrefaction. Don't sleep on the financiers (bite-sized French cakes).
Rinna EscamillaApril 8, 2013Holy cow! The pain au chocolat is SUBLIME! I'm def going back for some of those and can't wait to try the jams and spreads. Have to try the coffee as well next time.
They serve La Colombe (a huge plus) and have agave for sweetness. And of course, simply the best french-style bread in the Hoboken/JC area- A cup of coffee and chocolate croissant from Choc O Pain is the perfect start for your morning walk to the PATH station.
Amanda Petrocelli McLeanApril 21, 2015Had the chocolate almond croissant and raspberry petit kouign... heavenly!!! Free WiFi
So far as I can tell, this is the best coffee in the neighborhood. And the pastries are some of the best I've ever had.
Lovely cafe, never too crowded so you'll find seating. Wifi and lattes, what's not to love!
Lauren WintNovember 28, 2018The cara cake is awesome. And the staff is so warm and inviting. They definitely go above and beyond to make their patrons feel at home. I highly recommend. It's like a warm hug on a cold day.
Sami HeroMay 7, 2013Fantastic baguette, chouquettes and croissants. Great friendly location - makes you think you're back in Paris. Their quiche is like the French grandma's we all remember.
Darryl M.October 15, 2013Get the Choc•O•Pain. Delicious! Great spot to get some work done. Just wish they had later hours.
Without exaggeration, the best almond croissants anywhere including Manhattan.
Ask if they have kouign amman (pronounced "queen-y-ah-mon"). Get it if they do.
DanielleDecember 23, 2014Delicious French pastries and decent coffee. Make sure to try the almond choco pain!
The chocolate bread pudding is a must-have. Simple, smooth and easy to digest, very chocolaty but not too intense.
Free, dependable Wi-Fi, and amazing desserts with quality coffee. This place is great.
Top notch addiction-inducing French-style bakery. Not cheap but so worth it.
JenniferNovember 7, 2013The chocolate almond croissant is, as promised by the fabulous barista, LIFE-CHANGING.
Emily RoAugust 26, 2018I came wearing this t-shirt, and they gave me a free coffee https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GFJL345
The coffee is absolutely terrible. Get your favorite pastry and head over to Dames on Jersey/3rd for some real coffee.
Carl SisonNovember 24, 2013La Colombe coffee is the greatest. Get a red eye for those rough mornings.
John PerezJune 9, 20131st time here...coffee is fine but my girl and I prefer Dames coffee on Jersey Ave. We had the iced latte and cappucino. Food was served less than warm.
Buy a loaf of bread, go home, and make the most delicious French toast!
Love the pastries but the coffees are a bit hit and miss.
