I just moved recently to Newark, It's kind of hard to find a peaceful place at Newark where you can work/study in a nice clean place, The croissant is unbelievably delicious, Had the pleasure to meet the owner in-person, a modest nice person. Someone who understands true customer service, adding to that they have a very nice book-shelf. They offered me to read/borrow any books without restrictions. "Newark deserves something like that". Please keep up the good work..

A great place to get drinks and light meals when going to NJPAC. Just across the street, to the east on Center Street. We had coffee, iced tea, sandwiches and beignets. It took a while to heat the pre-packaged sandwiches, but they were very good. The Beignets also took time to prepare, but they were fresh and authentic.

Great spot for coffee, some assorted cakes and sandwiches. Has a great seating area, couches, chairs, tables, catch up on work or just hang out. Great hot chocolate too. Zero street parking allowed, paid lot around the corner.

Finally, a place that knows what a cappuccino is! After wasting over $15 trying to get a proper cappuccino somewhere else—where I literally had to explain to the staff how to make one—I found PJ’s Coffee, and it was a breath of fresh air. No explanations, no drama. I ordered a cappuccino, and I got a real cappuccino: well-pulled espresso, milk at the right temperature, and a proper creamy foam on top. Just like it should be. Places like Pão Da Terra should take notes. A cappuccino isn’t just hot milk with weird foam. Want to know what a real one looks like? I can send you a photo of this one. Props to PJ’s Coffee for doing the basics right: quality, skill, and great service.

So glad to have a new, refreshing and different coffee shop in downtown Newark. 🙌 Awesome customer service, cheerful team of baristas and such an exciting menu. Definitely recommend the skinny vanilla latte, chocolate chunk cookie and frozen hot chocolate. ☕ 👌

I was doing some work here today and had a lovely experience. The honey oat milk latte was delicious; not too sweet. The spinach feta pastry was absolutely divine. More importantly, the staff were super nice and friendly. While I was heads down working, they gave me beignets on the house. Those were some of the best I’ve had- flaky texture and just the right amount of sweetness. One time, an elderly customer stood up looking for napkins. The staff immediately noticed and pointed to where the napkins were. All in all, the food AND the people there are great. This is now one of my favorite places in Newark!
