Mana Café

Right across the street from my place & I love it! Hidden in Mana Art gallery — their breakfast sandwiches are amazing & the tea/​coffee delicious everytime !

This place is a hidden gem inside of the Mana art gallery. I had the brunch and coffee on my visit and our was delicious. The hours are a little weird so be sure to check the schedule.

Was in Jersey City to meet a friend but he was running late. Hungry but wanting something a little more upmarket than Golden Crust, I saw Mana post a picture of this chicken skewer than looked delicious. Found the place with Google Maps — it’s little bit of a trek from JSQ but not horrible. Got there and the place is inside of a gallery. Art? — I say meh, I WANT FOOD. And food I got. No need for a menu, I took out my phone, pointed to the chicken skewer photo and said «I want this». The skewer and the carrot soup was really good and filling. Glad I happened upon their Facebook update.
Some advice — would love to see the full menu on your Facebook page or elsewhere. Need more photos of food. I could care less about photos of people who eat there. You sell food, show the food.

I had the pleasure of visiting Mana Gallery yesterday and had lunch at Mana Bistro — which is within the gallery and a beautiful relaxing space to enjoy some lunch. Firstly the space is relaxing, open, loft like and furnished really nicely. Despite there being a lot of people in there, it was still peaceful and the individuals working there were gracious hosts and made sure I was comfortable, had everything I needed — the Salmon was excellent, as was the potato and fennel soup. Overall a great space to enjoy a coffee and bite to eat. It reminded me of the Tate Gallery in London. Very easy to get to from Journal Sq station — quick walk, and there seemed to be plenty of parking.
