It’s a nice place, pet friendly and decent food. The breakfast burritos were amazing and definitely recommended. Mexi bowl was okay and good luck trying it out. They have loud music playing and the speakers are located right above sitting which is next to the entrance so if you are not a fan of loud music then check before you seat. Place has a good breakfast menu but I won’t recommend it for brunch or lunch.

The place has a warm and cozy vibe. The food is delicious and well-made. Service is a little slow, but the food is worth the wait. There aren’t many tables, so it’s not ideal for large groups. It’s best for 2 to 4 people who want to enjoy a quiet and pleasant meal.

Went for breakfast with my wife. The watermelon was not too sweet and very smooth! The French Toast was perfect, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle and a covered in fruit! Prices are great and food and service was really 5 star experience! Such a lovely experience, coming back for sure!

On a sunny Sunday, we decided to check out The Cliff, a charming little cafe that caught our eye with its chic vibe and inviting atmosphere. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a leisurely brunch while soaking up the sun.

The menu is particularly appealing, packed with a variety of vegan and vegetarian options that cater to a wide range of tastes.

We kicked off our meal with the Biscuit Sandwich, which typically comes with egg and cheese nestled inside a fluffy biscuit. This dish was quite impressive! The biscuit was perfectly baked, flaky on the outside while remaining soft inside, and the combination of flavors was delightful.

Next, we moved on to the Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap, which was a satisfying choice. We also tried the Cobb Salad, which, while decent, didn’t quite stand out as much as the other dishes.

To complement our meal, we indulged in some smoothies, which were refreshing and well-blended. They were a nice way to cool off on a warm day and added a healthy touch to our brunch. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of what they have to offer!

Food was delicious, atmosphere was cute and cozy, service was great! We loved our visit and will def be coming back. It’s a great neighborhood gem and in a very walkable spot. We had the salmon salad, cilbir eggs, and shrimp tacos. Going to have to try the French toast next time.

Update July 2025: The Cliff has updated their menu. There is so much more on offer! This vegetarian cafe is a great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. This trip I got the mozzarella sandwich, shared fries and my husband got the salmon sandwich. The fries were awesome, I have to say I was surprised. My husband loves his salmon sandwich, he said the cream cheese was yummy. He got a matcha latte and I got a cappuccino. Both yummy as usual. The last time I was here with a friend I got the shrimp tacos which I loved and my friend got the cauliflower wrap which she said was really good. Everything is always fresh and healthy. They also have a sitting area out back and you can have your dog out there.

We visited a charming brunch spot in Jersey City on a Sunday morning without a reservation. The menu looked appealing, so we decided to give it a try. From what I could tell, the menu is entirely vegetarian.

I ordered the avocado toast with bacon, but it turned out to be fake bacon, which didn’t taste good. It would have been better with real bacon. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp tacos and enjoyed them. For dessert, we had the French toast, which was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the French toast.

One downside was the wait time. Although we were seated right away, it took at least 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and another 15 minutes to get our bill. I wish the staff had been more attentive.

Overall, the French toast is fantastic. If you’re a vegetarian, you’ll find plenty of good options here. However, if you prefer a traditional American breakfast, you might not find many choices.

First visit and we loved it! Came for Sunday late lunch and were lucky to snag counter seats (in an open kitchen concept).

There’s backyard seating which is nice for little doggies.

Had the breakfast burrito, mozzarella sandwich, pear and goat cheese salad with balsamic & a cappuccino. Bill was ~$55. Would order it all again, sans cappuccino (it was fine but if you’re really into your coffee – you may want to go to a specialty espresso shop).

Food was delish and reasonably priced!

Chive biscuit was incredible. Fluffy and crisp at the same time. Added some sriracha for some kick and it was perfect. Staff is always helpful with suggestions and occasional substitutions.
