AMOO Coffee Roasters

AMOO sits on New York Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets in Jersey City, a few blocks west of the Grove Street PATH and walking distance from the Heights. The roaster runs Ethiopian, Colombian, Brazilian, and Peruvian single origins, all roasted to order rather than pre-roasted in volume. The house focus is freshness over backstock. Beans dial for espresso, lattes, and everyday brewing depending on the lot. The room is small and the operation is roaster-forward, which means the pour-over you order in the cafe is the same coffee that ships out the door to home brewers across the river. Regulars are PATH commuters and Jersey City locals who figured out the address before the rest of the borough did. Order a pour-over of whichever single origin is freshest if you came to taste the lot. Order a bag of beans to-go if you brewed something here last week and want to try it at home.
