Me and my wife now met here many years ago and this is a great meet up spot. The staff was very friendly and quick to greet us. The service was amazing and we loved our passion fruit and vanilla latte. Owner was really friendly as well she greeted us and welcomed us in. They have an outdoor patio space seating in the back.

Intrinsic Café is a beautiful cafe located in the heart of Newark, NJ on Sussex Ave. There’s plenty of seating inside, and even a patio area out back. The cafe is great for setting up your laptop or just enjoying a cup of coffee or pastry. The iced vanilla latte I had was very flavorful. The service is friendly and just overall good vibes.

This is such an aesthetic café that is very chill to study or just have bubble tea dates! I love how it’s decorated and how small it is. I had a strawberry smoothie with tapioca and passion fruit slushee with mango pop. They were made so well and very quickly. They do have snacks and baked good which looked very good & fresh! The service here is always quick & the workers are always kind.

Because of the pandemic, many small businesses are considering their next steps. When the opportunity presents itself, I try to support them any way I can. I stumbled upon Intrinsic Café in Newark, NJ, and I was so happy I did!
Their front patio and open backyard space are cozy and inviting, great place to kick back and sip/eat your troubles away. They are accommodating in every aspect for this day in age: food selection, outdoor space, and service. These are fine qualities to possess in any business, even more so for a gem like this.
Take some time to meet Wanny and Claude-Alix, the owner and manager respectively, of Intrinsic Cafe. They were wonderful, patient and always happy to see a friendly face. Thank you both for a wonderful first visit experience and I look forward to going back!
Don’t forget to support small local businesses!

I hate when people say this bc it’s so over used…but this is literally the epitome of a “hidden gem” It’s exactly what you’re looking for. Can’t believe I’ve passed this countless times. Quaint and Quiet (until I walked in) but it’s such a vibe. if it’s for you, you immediately feel you got it right upon entry.
Smell of coffee affirms the taste. The options are limitless they have a limited edition menu that is worded perfectly. The bubble tea was tasty. I like places that make you feel comfortable to ask questions if you’re wanting to extend your palate. They have a back yard and front outdoor seating area which looks cool to meet up and potentially talk more comfortably.Parking is plentiful. They also had a cool community board of events that was cool to me. Oh yea they stay open mad late too.
Just go.

A quaint Cafe to grab a Chai Latte and a Nutella cookie for your afternoon pick me up. The service was friendly, quick, and professional. I’ll definitely stop by again when I return to NJIT. Thanks for an awesome visit. It was a beautiful day outside so I sat on a small park across the street on NJIT campus, but they have tables and chairs inside.

I used to like this place, but there’s a new couple working here, who sit at one of the customer tables during their down time and engage in excessive PDA. I wish there was a little more professionalism in this aspect and that such activities could be done in a more private/secluded area. Otherwise, it creates such an awkward, off-putting, and unwelcoming atmosphere for paying customers.

Great Cafe for Boba. Used to come here all the time as a uni student. Love the inside because it’s really cozy and nice.

This cafe is super cute and right in Newark. I have been here once before and might have found my new spot for studying when in Newark. The vegan options for milk are very expensive. It’s a whole extra dollar for almond or oats milk substitution which sucks.
