Green Pear Cafe

Went here for coffee and a snack and really enjoyed the experience. Staff is supremely friendly. Prices are pretty reasonable. A few dollars for a cappuccino, food around $ 5-​$ 12 depending on what you order.

Went here again today, and they are open in the snow storm! That is true dedication, I love this place… go here:)

What an elegant, good-​vibe place! This coffee shop is in a hidden corner of Hoboken, even if it’s only a few blocks from City Hall and Washington Street, so going there is like stepping into a café on a quiet street in Paris or Rome.
It’s run by the most gracious Italian couple from Italy, so they have the finest coffee and desserts. Lovely lunches, very economical. Eating there is like visiting family. It’s a real find.
Green Pear is new, it’s only been open about six months, so only the locals and professionals who work nearby have discovered it so far. It’s the kind of quality place you disappear to when you want to escape your life in the afternoon, and nourish your soul with a little peace and luxury.

Small neighborhood café serving brunch, small plates & some cool drinks. Bummer that the drinks seem much better than the food. We stopped by for a light lunch during the holidays and it was quite disappointing. The husband had a salmon burger which came on a bed of salad (open burger, no patty). I had the gnocchi with cheese. Both tasted pretty much generic… nothing that set it apart or made it stand out in any way. The salmon wasn’t the freshest either.
The Lake Placid drink on the other hand was stellar — very refreshing, tangy and just the right touch of sweetness.
This is a family run business with the kids doubling up behind the counter & as servers. Great idea. My recommendation would be to kick it up a notch; both attention to detail and a touch of warmth. It’s really what brings people back and makes a home grown business memorable.

Great little café! Good Lavazza coffee! Finally a place where I can go in on a cold day, grab a cup of coffee, continue my walk while sipping and enjoying a good cup that doesn’t taste burnt, and sour! (People mistake sourness for «strong» and that’s not really what it is). The place is clean, well-​lighted, warm and inviting. Great snacks on the counter, just tempting us to try their ever changing display of yumminess! Yesterday they had really, really good pignoles! The little area in the far back of the café is small and cozy with a couple of tables. There are goodies to browse from on the wall, like Italian cookies, teas etc.
The place is located somewhat hidden, but for us who has discovered this tiny gem, will be going back for more.

Okay so I loved this place and I’ll still go back– but had an awful experience there today. Everyone there is always so nice and accommodating. I bring my 3 month old son her and sit in the back and really love it. BUT today I was meeting a friend and I believe it was the owner– a woman– first goes up to another girl sitting at a table and told her she had to leave because she was there too long. You are a coffee shop. People sit there. You don’t tell your customers to leave. There was no one even waiting to get in there — if there was then just maybe then you could ask nicer to leave. THEN my friend walks in with her baby carriage and told me I couldn’t leave mine where it was because I was blocking the bathroom. However, I have done this about 5 times before and people can still get in. I would be happy to move it if someone wanted to use the restroom and had trouble getting in. So I said I can’t put my stroller on the other side of the room with the baby in it and said we are just going to leave.
This is not how you treat your customers. There are nice ways of handling things. I do love the coffee and smoothies, but I liked the customer service. I loved the husband, the other bearded guy behind the counter, and the young boy, BUT you my dear are mean and will lose customers. There are plenty of coffee shops around. Luckily because I like the other people working there I would go back if I really needed a smoothie, but you lost a frequent customer.

Cute café, quaint space, great smoothies and friendly service! What more can you ask for?
Stopped in on way to a meeting to grab a power pick me up, their smoothies caught my eye and I ordered the mango lassi smoothie and it was delicious!!! Not too creamy/​yogurty and really good balance of mango and diary!
The servers/​owners (I think they are the owners) are so friendly and the space is beautifully quaint. Cannot wait to come back and try more items on their menu when I have time!!!

Fantastic Family business, I go almost daily. Thank you for the great hospitality and addition to the neighborhood. Food is great, prices are excellent and a very charming atmosphere.

I just tried this place for this first time after a few friends and neighbors raved about and I was blown away! We ordered the smoked salmon on tandoori naan and the suckling pig on oven baked flat bread as take-out…as soon as I took the last bite of the suckling pig I wished I ordered a second! The smoked salmon was delicious as well and I don’t know if they make the flatbreads and naan on the spot but they are so fresh it tastes like they do. I will most likely go back in the next 24 hours.
What a great addition to an area that couldn’t be more deserving of a neighborhood café like this.

Recently spent the day working from this little gem on Grand Street. Outdoor seating provides a few tables with umbrellas while and a few set in the back of the café. A big bonus is the working Wi-​Fi. The owner is a delight, the coffee strong & the food tasty. 2 thumbs up for the Green Pear Café

I have to admit, I sort of stumbled upon this place by accident but I’m sure glad I did! Located on Grand St between First/​Newark, it’s only a few blocks away from my apartment so it was totally perfect for a quick Saturday morning walk.
The first thing I noted when I came in was the really cute interior. It’s obvious a lot of work was put into this shop to make it nice. The front has the counter/​shelves with various foodstuffs and the back has a few tables. It’s spacious (for Hoboken) and the layout is on point.
The coffee was really, really good. I ordered a flat white but the owner said he was going to make me a cappuccino instead. Whatever, I’m not picky and it was damn good. A double shot of quality espresso is perfect to get you up and running!
The breakfast sandwich I got was actually quite tasty. While they don’t have a full on grill, they made it fresh in some type of machine. While that was weird, it was delicious nevertheless so why complain? The croissant was buttery and flakey and delicious.
I’m going to have to make this new addition to Hoboken a common stop moving forward. Friendly people, great coffee and pretty good breakfast sandwiches!

I have quickly fallen in love with this place. It’s so great to see places like this popping up west of Washington Street. The coffee is great and the crepes are even better.
This is a must try and I highly recommend it.
Thanks Isabella for coming to my neighborhood!

Great location and they have good crepes. Their juices are also very delicious, especially the Lake Placid one

Best tuna salad sandwich i’ve had in… years? Yes, years. It comes on this naan-​like flatbread, which is the perfect canvass for the homemade tuna salad. Really outstanding. Cool place, lots of specialty foods for sale, all high quality. This is a gem.
