Such a cute escape in Jersey City! I almost felt like I was somewhere else! (Cozy, intimate) It’s a very cute restaurant and they offer complimentary coffee and water on top of exceptional service. The owner shared some of the history with me on where his menu inspiration came from (the diverse people of Jersey City) and I could sense a true passion for food, quality, and service. From the freshly baked biscuit to the mouth watering dishes- EVERYTHING was excellent. Truly a great experience. Parking is on the street which is a busy area but it’s worth it!

Having recently traveled to Nashville and eating at their world famous biscuit love restaurant I had my biscuit bar set pretty high, and I have to say cafe alyse didn’t disappoint. This is your biscuit and gravy destination in northern New Jersey. The coffee excellent, the service friendly and fast, the from scratch food came out super fast. Will come back here again and next time bring friends from NYC to brag about the places outing jersey city on the map. So if you live in Jersey City the only thing I gotta ask is why haven’t you given this place a try yet?

My buddy and I stopped in for breakfast at Cafe Alyce and were blown away by the service and the food. I’ve never met a more personable staff, from the greeter who seated us, all the way to the owner who stopped to chat with us multiple times. These are the friendliest folks I’ve ever met at a restaurant, it was almost surreal. My coffee cup was never empty, and everyone truly cared that we had a great experience.

My husband and I live in the neighborhood and always drive past Cafe Alyce. Today, we were finally able to sit down for a meal, and it was incredible! From the service to the food!!! My husband and I both have experience working in a restaurant and we truly appreciate quality meals and quality service. We tried two different versions of their Shrimp & Grits and they were extremely delicious. What a taste! My Shrimp & Grits had a Latin kick and the feta cheese to top was everything!

So good! I was craving some shrimp and grits and found this place on TikTok so hubby and I decided to go try them, no regrets!! Everything was delicious and the customer service was just as good. The owner came over to us and gave us a brief history on his restaurant. We are definitely going again, I need to try the lamb curry!! You all should check them out too.

Great little place to grab brunch! As a JC native, it’s always interesting to see what new spots are opening in the area. This place is definitely worth a visit. I got the lox w/ poached eggs and subbed the bread w/ a homemade biscuit. It was excellent. Salmon tasted so flavorful, and the biscuit had a great texture. We also got the fried cheesy bites which were also tasty. Would recommend!

My husband and I visited this place only because it was highly rated, but from now we are going to make it a monthly visit!! A pretty place with the most amazing food and really courteous staff. We went for a Sunday brunch and were lucky that there was no waiting. The waitress got us started with some black coffee and then we tried the halloumi fries (from the lunch menu), the egg and cheese sandwich (you can pick the bread & cheese of your choice) and the shakshuka grits. Each dish tasted better than the other and the portion size was just sufficient. Excited to try the dinner menu next 🙂
