Jefferson's Coffee @ Madison — Restaurant in Hoboken

There are two things on Jefferson coffee at Madison that have correlations , Baristas behaviors and coffee quality. They are both pretty much similarly amazing. Now for coffee I would not say the daily coffee that have both medium and dark roast are my first choice since their ground fresh latte or Americanos taste much much better. But they have great choices of milk too. And you can guy round coffee or other drinks from their small refrigerator. Or sit behind one of the three tables and look how snow has changed Hoboken white.

If I have only one complaint , and this has been same since first time came here maybe a few years ago, is that their menu doesn’t have the price , similar to the other location. But you know what they have in common, those cute wood tables. Add a bit of ancient taste and voila it’s Jefferson at Madison, the name says it, doesn’t?

I have seen my share of occasional frustrations with barista when there is one person only working with a seemingly infinite line and takes forever to brew a small cup of coffee, but that also says they care about their customers satisfaction, so I take it on customers who stay for a while to order something simple. So a five star for me could be a three or lower star for you but hey we all get unlucky...

Rude arrogant manager. They weren’t accepting card payments because their POS was down and I wasn’t informed until after I ordered and received my drink and I had no form of cash payment. The barista working there seemed very stressed and overwhelmed at the situation. I asked if I could Zelle or Apple Pay someone. He called the manager and the manager randomly came in and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience. He tried to fix the POS and after a minute or so he asked if we had Venmo. There were other customers present and he let the male customer leave without paying and told him “you can pay when you come back,” but had me standing there trying to figure out how to pay for their inconvenience and fault. Still at this moment he hadn’t even apologized or acknowledged my presence. The barista working the bar had to offer to pay for my drink because he could see how uncomfortable the situation was. Eventually, I just had to go out my way and download Venmo to pay him his $3. Even then he made no apology for the inconvenience...

I found this place right across from ShopRite and I’ve always been curious of this cute little coffee shop. I decided to go in a week ago and I ordered a americano hot and a couple pastries to try with my family. I took my first sip and the coffee was tasteless and extremely watered down. Didn’t have any flavor to the blend at all. And the doughnuts were not moist, dry , and were stale. Even my other pastries were extremely stale and the filling in the cheese danish might as well put none cause they was barely any inside.

The place is cute but definitely not tasty regarding the coffee and snacks . ShopRite has better bakery...
