Several mom-and-pop coffee shops that started in either Jersey City or Hoboken have opened a their second location in the other town. This month, Sober Shot, a unique beverage spot in downtown Jersey City, opened its Hoboken site. The new spot — which is only a grab-and-go location on the city’s main drag — focuses on crafted beverages and flavorings including Japanese matcha, Nutella, and butterfly pea flower. Sober Shot replaces the former Smart Cleaners and Alterations at 1200 Washington St. Read more here.
Forum Coffee
Speaking of Hoboken and Jersey City coffee spots that have expanded, Forum Coffee has been doing just that in North Jersey. The group of shops, with ten locations in the Garden State, specializes in a range of coffee beverages, such as a creme brûlée latte singed with a blowtorch. They also serve up ice cream desserts. Last week, they were asked to open in the lobby of the Sable (formerly Urby) residential tower in Jersey City, the owner told Patch. The company moved quickly to set up shop in the spot, located at 200 Greene St., near the Harborside light rail stop. The Sable lobby has workspaces and even newspapers to read while you sip your coffee. You can find out more about the newest location of Forum here.
