modcup Coffee, Hoboken
This coffee company has opened a Hoboken location. Though it’s currently based in nearby Jersey City, modcup has Hoboken roots. More than 10 years ago, the company opened a cart serving fresh brews on the Hoboken waterfront, which soon led to three brick-and-mortar shops in Jersey City, plus an online shop selling ground coffee. Try out modcup’s drip coffees, lattes and more at the new cafe.

There’s also a signature cocktail menu and a list of wines and beers, which can be enjoyed at the bar or at a table.
