After browsing through various cafes in search of a European-style place where coffee is served in elegant, small cups in a cozy atmosphere, I stumbled upon Cafe Vista Breakfast Cafe on Google. Visually, it seemed perfect, but upon visiting and ordering a cappuccino, I was disappointed. I ordered a small cappuccino, assuming it would be served in a cup (8 ounces) with a decorative pattern on the foam, on a saucer, with a tea spoon. What I got it was a large cup of warm milk, though with some foam on the top but without the pattern. A cappuccino is an espresso with a splash of milk and a thick layer of foam, not a cup of milk with a little splash of coffee! And it should be served in a small 8 not 12 or 16 ounces cup. This cappuccino wasn't drinkable. A cup of warm milk for $6!

Cute coffee shop with vintage ceramic crockery and appealing special drinks. We tried the lavender and rose lattes. Both look good, but taste bland & average. The floral taste is too subtle & not impactful.

I had a small book club meeting here and it was delightful. Everyone ended up with completely different, unique drinks, there was some food option for everyone's dietary concerns, and it wasn't difficult to get a 4-person table on a Saturday afternoon. We stayed for a couple hours with no issue, and a lot of us brought home tea leaves or coffee beans to make at home. Would definitely come back, it's so hard to find a nice meeting place like this in Hoboken.
