  I stopped by Light Rail Cafe in Jersey City and really enjoyed the relaxed neighborhood vibe. The space felt cozy and welcoming, making it a nice spot to sit down for coffee or a casual brunch. I ordered a coffee and a breakfast dish, and both were fresh and satisfying. The food was simple but well made, with good portions and nice presentation. It felt like the kind of place where locals come to start their day. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, even though the café had a steady flow of customers. I appreciated how comfortable the atmosphere was—it’s easy to stay a little longer than planned. Overall, Light Rail Cafe is a great little spot for coffee, breakfast, or a laid-back brunch in Jersey City. I’d definitely come back when I’m in the area.

  Food wasn’t bad. General general American food. I got the Cesar salad and my partner got the buffalo wings. We also the sangria pitcher. Was a little pricey. Whole thing came out to about $100. Really like the vibe and the servers and bartender were super cool.

  I've dined here before, had the penne with shrimp which was good, so this time decided to try something else, but I got it to go.This time I ordered the oxtail dinner, and a catfish dinner. Straight trash! Oxtails we're like rubber and very salty, as if it was old. And the catfish (which should have been packed separately), was thrown on top of a bed of sauteed spinach overly saturated in oil, which ruined the fish. The mac & cheese wasn't fresh either. Over $60 bucks I spent, which I didn't mind, but to be left with the taste of disappointment🫤, I'll pass on ever eating from there again.

  Coffee was ice cold and her attitude was bad.
