Cafe Dolma

Food is well prepared and tastes great. Good vibes.

But be aware the indoor dinner space is very limited, such you may end up waiting a while to get a table. The service is good once you get helped.

The place has that “hidden” and intimate vibe, great for a cozy breakfast, in comparison to other places that are just jammed and with deteriorated food quality as people pack in.

Highly recommend.

Came by for the first time this morning with the kids. Mike (I believe the owner) was absolutely kind and patient. Going anywhere with little ones can be stressful and makes me irritable but the staff's services and doing what they can to ensure we are okay was very nice. We waited to be seated inside (understandable because we are a family of 5) but once we got inside, the food was immediately brought out. Smart planning to ensure customers are happy. We all inhaled our food. It was damn delicious and I honestly wish I had more to eat right now. I'm definitely coming back soon (without the kids) for a Sunday brunch date. I also overheard there's another location at an old ice cream shop. I'll have to look that up and check it out!

Cafe Dolma has absolutely the flakiest and most delicious almond chocolate croissant on the face of earth! They bake them in house and in small batches…We met up with a friend for brunch today, and among the 3 of us, we shared 4 together, two of which were fresh off the oven 😋

Loved this cute tiny space. My son found out this Turkish place for a weekend brunch where we stay in Jersey City. We had a great experience sitting at their patio and to be honest their indoors is only for couple seating.

We all loved their food. My wife liked their avocado toast which I found it a little extra oily, but the taste was good.

One item on the menu made my day as it took me to my childhood, the “Çılbır” - my mom used to make it for some weekend brunches. It’s basically yolky eggs hid in yogurt, topped with butter with red pepper sauce on top. They make it to a next level at Dolma Cafe in the hands of a French chef :) I loved the taste and remembered me my childhood.

Gave five star to this place as the food was great, service was good, but the space was tight.

Place is so cozy and very instagrammable. Food tastes so good. I would recommend this restaurant if you’re roaming around Jersey City. 👌🏼

Big fan of this spot! Went in here for brunch and was very impressed. The food is simple and delicious! The staff was super friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. Absolutely loved their take on the Turkish coffee (would also recommend trying it just as flavored milk, without the coffee - was amazing)! The mini donuts (chocolate hazelnut) were amazing too! The eggs and croissant, zaatar potatoes, chicken sandwich, and poached eggs were all amazing! Would highly recommend!

This place is the best brunch spot I've gone to so far.
Firstly, their service is amazing. This is the first place in the US where we were given water within minutes of getting seated. These small gestures are what makes a cafe/restaurant stand out in hospitality. The staff was super sweet and friendly.
Next, the food is amazing. I recommend the chocolate croissant, egg sandwich and brioche french toast. Do get the Turkish potatoes side with the egg sandwich that's so tasty. The presentation and taste of all these dishes was awesome - it felt like there was a lot of heart put into it.

This place is so great. I’ve been a few times and it’s consistently good. Apparently there’s another location in the area opening up so I’m looking forward to going there as well, especially if the food is just as great. Anyway, I recommend.

Food was flavorful. Plated nicely. Donuts made in house - light and fluffy, not greasy at all. Gluten-free pancakes were nice,

Solid Mediterranean brunch place near Grove St. The Çılbır (poached egg over labneh) with sausage was really good! Especially the dill green sauce had tons of flavor and depth. So was the almond chocolate croissant and liked the mixed berry donut as well (expect jam). I also got the Cortado - pretty solid.

I thoroughly enjoyed brunch at Cafe Dolma. Eggs were poached to perfection, and french toast was tasty and moist. Looking forward to trying more dishes with Mediterranean flavor. Small place, you'll be lucky to get a table!

What a cute and cozy little place. My first visit back since the start of the pandemic, and it definitely did not disappoint. The food is amazing, everything is so well seasoned and has so much flavor. I had the avocado toast (one of my favorite avocado toasts ever), and my friend had the grilled vegetable pizza. Both were so good. Drinks were delicious. Donuts are yummy. And the owner is just the nicest and sweetest guy. Love this place.

Best breakfast I’ve had in a while. I got the cilbir and there were so many amazing flavors in one.

The food at Cafe Dolma is just as unique as it’s location and set-up. The Pastirma Eggs Benedict tasted delicious. The eggs were done perfectly, the spices added amazing flavor, and the potatoes on the side were nice and crispy. The mini donuts are also a must-have!

We sat inside, which was cozy and neatly decorated. There was also plenty of outdoor seating under tents for the hot summer day!

Incredible service, the owner is super nice and helpful. We tried pastirma eggs Benedict, and cilbir. Both were delicious. The coffee was a great price and tasted awesome. Tried some mini donuts to complete the experience which of course were fluffy and very tasty.

Loved the food! The owner's kind and very attentive. The cafe can only sit about 14 people and on Saturday morning the seats are completely occupied until after 1pm. Ordered a Omelet, pouched eggs and french toast. With 2 coffees + OJ plus 3 small donuts came out $68+. Enjoyed our brunch very much. Will come back!

Nice Mediterranean spot, had the steak sandwich, benedict, and dolma latte. Entrees we’re great and well executed. Wasn’t as much as a Mediterranean flair to it as I was hoping for but the additional spice sauce they had helped to fulfill that extra bit I needed. Dolma Latte had some cardamom which was interesting but wasn’t really my thing. Overall, nice vibe, well executed food, not too pricey. Would classify as a regular goto spot.

We went for breakfast first time today. A quaint, lovely atmosphere for a delicious breakfast. American and Greek foods, there’s something for everyone. Meals were delicious as were pastries - homemade! Staff was friendly and restaurant clean. Drinks were phenomenal, so tasty. I highly recommend dining at Cafe Dolma!

Service was excellent, breakfast was very tasty. Small Cafe is impeccably clean. Outside seating area is very neat and inviting.

Many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options in a cozy environment. We had the zucchini pancake, avocado toast and potatoes - all super delicious!
