Drip and Dough JC is only a couple of months old. Our story is just getting started — and the first chapter has been written by the neighbors who walked through the door on opening day and kept coming back.
We opened Drip and Dough at 611 Communipaw Avenue with a simple goal: give this part of Jersey City a warm, beautiful place to eat, drink and hang out — somewhere you could stop for coffee at 7 in the morning and come back for pizza with friends that same night.
The response since our grand opening has been more than we hoped for. In just a couple of months, more than forty-five guests have left Google reviews, and together they've given us a 4.8-star rating. Some came before the official opening and came back for the celebration. Others found us on a lunch break and have been working their way through the menu ever since.
What they write about most isn't only the food — though the oxtail pizza, the spicy Rasta pie and Mike's Heater chicken sandwich come up again and again. It's the feeling of walking in. One reviewer described being welcomed with positive energy the moment they stepped inside. Others mention owners who greet guests, chefs who care about every plate, baristas who guide newcomers through the menu and a cashier who makes ordering easy. Sandra Jeter put it this way: “The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the atmosphere was wonderful.”
Every new place has to earn its spot on the block, and we know that doesn't happen in a few weeks. It happens one coffee, one pizza and one friendly conversation at a time — which is exactly how we plan to keep going.
We're still new, which means we're still learning. The menu may change as we discover what this neighborhood loves most, and we read our reviews closely. If you have an idea or a favorite you'd like to see on the board, tell us at the counter.
“the customer service and food were excellent.” — Neiderling Henry · Google
Families, friends, solo diners, coworkers on a lunch break, early risers and night owls. Whoever you are, you should feel at home the moment you walk in — and our team works to make sure you do.
Bold pizzas, real heat, comfort plates and sweets worth the walk. We want every dish to be the reason you come back, not just a way to fill up.
Dine in, take out, curbside, delivery or order ahead online. Cards and tap-to-pay accepted. Good food shouldn't be complicated.
Our first reviews didn't just praise the food — they called out the people. Owners, chefs, baristas and the front counter all got a mention. Here's who you'll meet when you visit.
Early reviewers mention the owners warmly. Drip and Dough is run by people who care how your visit goes, and that personal touch is a big part of why first-time guests have been coming back so soon.
The kitchen turns out everything from oxtail pizza to shrimp and grits. Guests praise the flavor and the care, and say there's something on the menu for every kind of eater.
They make the coffee — the "drip" in our name — and they're also the friendly guides who walk first-timers through the board and help them pick a favorite.
From the cashier to the team explaining gelato flavors, reviewers describe the staff as pleasant, helpful and attentive. Ordering here should feel easy and friendly.
Drip and Dough sits on Communipaw Avenue near JFK Boulevard, where Bergen-Lafayette meets the West Side. Our first guests have come from just around the corner and from across the city — McGinley Square, Greenville, Journal Square and further — and with delivery and online ordering, we can reach plenty of Jersey City homes too.
There's usually plenty of parking close by, which makes it easy to swing in for a quick bite or curbside pickup on the way home. And because we're open seven days, from 7 AM on weekdays, there's room in almost any schedule for a visit.
