Choc O Pain French Bakery and Café - Jersey City Heights

My favorite Gallette des rois (King Cake) in NJ! Thank you Chocopain. We'll be back!

Very Nice cafe in the heights. Perfect to work from. Always have nice French music playing in the background, sometimes Pop too haha. They’ve got wifi and are open until 5PM on all weekdays. I usually order the Cortado or Macchiato. The baked goods are also pretty amazing. Though I’ve only ordered Pistachio Macarons which are my absolute favorites though a teeny bit pricey and Almond Croissant.

Recommend vegan sandwich with eggplant

Choco O Pain has the best croissants and breads easily equal to what I have had in France. Don't get me started on their Pear or Pecan tarts... divine. Only disappointment was the Orange cake which had the texture of cornbread and missed out on the je ne sais quoi that their other items were imbued with.

The subbed every item in my order. The weird part is that they called me to ask about alternatives for 2 of the 3 items, but still subbed my salad for a mini pastry, which I don’t think is comparable. I also felt their prices were inflated. I paid $9 for a quiche that was maybe 3 inches.

I pass this CoP daily during my walk. After seeing the Sour cream coffee cake somewhere online, I decided to stop in and get some. The staff were welcoming and professional. They had already sold out. I was instructed to try placing an online order for the following day and picking it up later that day. I did, but when I went in to pick it up, they were out of the coffee cake. I opted for other items (Madeleines, chouquettes and Chocopains) and wasn't disappointed. Everything was fresh and delicious.
