The photo doesn’t do the food justice!! 1000/10 the food was hot, fresh, and delicous!! Teas, lattes, everything was immaculate. It was love at first bite.

I ordered my wife a chicken cutlet sandwich only to get a sandwich with two small pieces of chicken tenders that were tough. We were disappointed because the last time we ordered the same sandwich, the chicken pieces were larger and tender. Sadly we likely won’t be coming here for a bit.
On a positive note the atmosphere and service was great. The people who took our order and served our food were kind with a great attitude.

The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Upon my second visit to the cafe, the baristas recognized me and welcomed me back! They were very kind to recommend some pastries and drinks. The chef was also very kind when I interacted with him in the dining room while he was running food. The space is great—four booth and chair two tops, plus four window counter seats and two two tops outside on the sidewalk. Very popular place with a lot of foot traffic. The iced mocha is great, as is the latte. Looking forward to trying more specialty drinks. They let my bring my dog in while I was ordering. The next day, I brought my computer to write for a bit and ordered brunch. Nice neighborhood spot!!

Stormy Cafe in Jersey City completely exceeded my expectations. The space has such a cool, welcoming atmosphere with tons of natural light and a decent amount of seating both indoors and outdoors, making it an easy spot to stop in for a quick bite or sit and stay for a while.
The menu has a really nice variety of both food and drinks. We started with the strawberry lemonade, Karak chai, and brown sugar oat shaken espresso, and all three were really good. From there, we tried the BLT, which was simple but incredibly satisfying, and the chicken sandwich was definitely a standout. It was flavorful, crispy, and absolutely not one to overlook.
The seasonal berry pancakes were also delicious, and the Mediterranean salad was bright, fresh, and full of flavor. We also tried the classic grilled cheese, which was comforting and done really well.
The service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone was welcoming and attentive, and the overall experience felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Between the atmosphere, the variety on the menu, the quality of the food, and the service, definitely a place I’d come back to.

This place could be such a vibe if they hired staff with more personality and positive energy. I work in customer service myself, and unfortunately, I’d give my experience here a 4/10.
I’ve given this place over six chances to change my mind, especially since it’s one of the only coffee shops in the area, but every visit has left me feeling the same way: the staff just seem very “blah.” The service also isn’t particularly quick. I’ve consistently waited around 10–15 minutes for a coffee, even when it doesn’t seem very busy.
This morning, after a run, a friend and I decided to stop in to grab a coffee before heading home to get ready for work. The cafe was essentially empty, with only one other customer sitting off to the side.
The two employees were behind the counter, off to the left where they were barely visible, having a conversation and what appeared to be making a drink. We stood at the counter for about three minutes, and neither employee greeted us, acknowledged us, or even made eye contact.
At that point, we simply walked out.
I’m leaving this review because I genuinely think this place has potential, especially given its location. The atmosphere and concept could be great, but the customer service really takes away from the experience. A simple “Good morning, we’ll be right with you” would have made a huge difference. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because I’d honestly love to see the place succeed.
