Tartinery Café - Bar | Hudson Eats

"Their happy hour deal is one of the best you'll find downtown, $4.50 for a can and it's for quality stuff (though if you're looking for mass produced, they don't have it). It's part of the Hudson Eats food court so you can park yourself at a table and relax and enjoy the view of the river and the Jersey City skyline or work on your side hustle with the free wi-fi (you will see remote workers here as well). Security and cleaners keep the place pleasant. Other than the Nutella tartine, skip the food, lots of pretentious stuff like kale and multi-grain toast. Get food elsewhere and your drink here. All is not perfect: BFP overheats the space in the winter and the sun beats on the windows in the spring and summer, you will sweat all 12 months sitting here. Also, without rhyme or reason it's either serene or loud, crowded and chaotic seemingly based on the whims of the "hybrid workers" (you never see them on Monday or Friday) and what random day is the end of their workweek at AMEX and the other employers upstairs. If you don't like noise or you are doing work or studying (you see students too) it can present a problem particularly since you don't really know what day to just go someplace else. The good thing is the staff is outstanding and will meet you at the counter even when it's slammed, and you can always retreat someplace else in Hudson Eats or the Winter Garden if need be."

"We were there July 4th day. It was not bustling. I ordered the avocado toast. It was good but I want to point out that a part of the avocado they used for my order was brown and they tried to conceal it at the bottom. Not cool to be serving something that looks unappetizing. The chicken salad was okay. I gave it 3 stars because of the brown avocado."

"What a pleasant surprise to find this gem in a food court! Our server Carla was friendly and informative. She helped us choose our dishes by explaining the various options. She made delicious lattés and served a nice almond croissant while we waited for our brunch items. We loved our experience so much we came back another day during our visit to NYC. The restaurant has nice windows facing the waterfront to boot!"

"Stopped by for a quick drink after visiting the Cove right next door. I was tempted to order some food as it looked so good, but just wanted a smoothie, tea, and latte. There was only 2 other people in line, so was able to order quickly. Service was very friendly and prompt. All the drinks were ready within about 5-7 minutes. The Matchalicious smoothie wasn't too sweet and had a nice balance of fruits and Matcha. The lattes were equally as good and was served with a nice flower and heart design. Nice place to have a drink and relax in the food court."

"there are some great places to eat here. I decided on volcano fries and was pleasantly satisfied with the quality of the food, just disappointed with the quantity of chicken. they said it would be two people's serving of chicken but these two people must have tiny appetites .... the fries were abundant but not the chicken but the flavors are on point and great!! the chicken we did have was delicious!! and views in this area are excellent. great for walking around after a good meal."
