CLO Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Jersey City

I lived in this neighborhood until about two years ago, and was here when Clo opened. I stopped going because the service was slow and a large cold brew was about $7. While visiting, I figured I'd stop in again since I was staying around the corner.

Today, I ordered a large cold brew and was surprised to hear it was just over $4. So I asked again to confirm the price, and the barista said it was correct.

The overall aesthetic has a kind of sleek and modern vibe. Lastly, I've probably met every employee at the 97 Newkirk location and they're all good peeps, very friendly and welcoming. Show 'em some love,...
