Semicolon New York Reviews
Had breakfast at Semicolon Café in Jersey City and really enjoyed it! The chicken sandwich and shroom sandwich were both delicious and freshly made, and the tiramisu latte was amazing — smooth, rich, and not too sweet. It took a little while for the food to come out, but it was totally worth the wait. Cozy vibe and friendly service — definitely a great spot for breakfast or coffee in Jersey City!
Good food - Crisp loaded sandwich, quick service and simple ambience. Easy on the pocket and generous portions. Calm, neatly tucked corner cafe, one street away parallel to the Exchange place walk. I had a peaceful time sipping, munching and sketching ✨over Lox sandwich and Tiramisu Latte.
Egg sandwiches are so good! It’s my sister’s go to place for coffee and sandwiches! Located right under her apartment which is super convenient. I’ve tried all of their sandwiches, and none of them disappointed me yet! Lady match is must to order. It comes with edible strawberry straw, and it’s super cute! The place isn’t that big, but people usually to go their food and drinks, so dine in was never a problem for me. Highly recommend!
Such a vibrant vibe! We ordered the shroom sandwich and the chicken sandwich and both were really good. Note that they both had a slightly sweet sauce inside. The strawberry banana smoothie was fresh, but you may want to ask to adjust the sugar. The cappuccino was really good too - I say that after having tried a few places in Newport. Would definitely recommend coming here on a morning when the sun is out ☀️
This is not an ordinary SANDWICH spot! Korean owned. I had the honor of meeting the owners father. The food was next level and I inhaled it in about 2 minutes. I ordered belt sandwich and it was 10/10. My friend ordered bulgogi(beef) sandwich and it was also 10/10. Seemed like they also sell cute little plants on the side and thought that was neat. The whole place is filled with fresh cute little plants and made me feel a bit delighted looking at them. Most important question about any food places, will I come back? Absolutely 💯
This place is absolutely beautifull! The decoration is perfect. The service was great. I loved that the food is prepared at the moment and they let you know that it will take some minutes to be served. Coffee was good. I ordered the Original Sandwich and boy, let me tell you: DELICIOUS!! You have to try the Kiwi Sauce. Good portion and fresh.
We got the lox and bulgogi sandwichs which were delicious! I got the strawberry ade which was very good and my partner ordered a coffee which was also amazing. I would absolutely go back for the food and drinks (the price for them was not that bad either). The place itself is a little on the small side. They do have an upstairs which is nice and that's where we sat. We had a view of a lot of different trinkets and legos while we waited for our food. It did take a little long but that was because we ordered 2 sandwich's during a busy time which was worth the wait. We did come here for this cafe and the LSC but parking is almost impossible to find. There is almost 0 street parking and if there is it was already taken. Your best bet is finding a paid parking lot that will last you the whole day for like $20 so you can walk around with your drinks and see the views of Liberty State Park and city line.
My usual go-to sandwich orders are the BELT and Avocado sandwiches. They both taste pretty good. Iced latte is very good. Matcha latte was just average. Interior could use a little upgrade or renovation - it seems like it's been a while. *Take out/delivery orders on grub hub/etc. are only accepted on weekdays. *I recommend avoiding the morning rush for food orders, regardless if it's a weekday or weekend - there's always a 20-30 minute wait. Drink orders are usually quick. *Pet friendly cafe
I walk by this Cafe when I go to Office and had always wanted to try the Coffee here since the place looks so cute. Finally got a chance to visit and it was pretty good. I just had a Cappuccino but it wasn't anything special. Maybe I should have tried their specialty Coffees or one of the sandwiches. They all looked so yummy but I was in a rush. Still, the atmosphere very good and they seemed to have some good options for both Coffee and Food.
Hey, there's this awesome coffee shop in our neighborhood that I think you'll really like! It's got some fantastic options to choose from. And you know what's cool? If you're Indian and you've been to Coffee Cafe Day in India, this place will totally remind you of it, especially the taste of their coffee drinks. But here's what makes it even better - you can actually work there while being surrounded by all sorts of plants and succulents. They also have sandwiches on their menu, although I haven't personally tried them yet. But let me tell you, they always look so appetizing when other people order them.
Nice cafe vibe and very interesting food. I loved their Tiramisu latte. Highly recommended. Their sandwiches are also amazing! We tried the mushroom and avocado one and they taste great and are super filling. It was difficult to finish one. The cafe itself has a relaxed atmosphere. They have a plant shop on the second level and you can see the green touch throughout the cafe.
Edit: It seems like their wait time is just getting longer and longer (nearly 1 hr wait for a sandwich). Also they might’ve change their bread? it’s a lot thinner and smaller than before when one sandwich would be more than filling enough. Sadly, bumping down a star due to excessive wait times and underwhelming drinks. —— A beautiful cafe ornamented with plant decorations. The second floor is a plant shop and a seating area, which is very aesthetic. The staff there are always friendly. Food can take a while at times, expect at least a 20min+ wait for the sandwiches. Been here on multiple occasions and they never disappoint with their sandwiches. Bulgogi: Very tasty, there was so much beef inside. The vegetables tasted clean and fresh. The brioche bread was nicely toasted and the eggs were perfectly scrambled. The sauce is so addicting and flavorful too. Matcha / Oat Latte: Would not recommend since it only tasted like milk. BELT: Delicious egg & bacon. Lox: Probably my favorite since the salmon is very fresh. Tiramisu: It’s great to drink on warmer days, on the sweeter side though.
