Say “hey” to Hey Yogurt, the newest dessert shop in Hoboken. With its first location in Fort Lee, Hey Yogurt is a “health-conscious,” Japanese-inspired dessert shop with various drinkable yogurts and other sweets (think: Japanese-style cheesecakes, creampuffs). The Hoboken storefront is now open at 90 Hudson Street, right near the Hoboken terminal. Keep reading for what we know about Hey Yogurt in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The Details
Hey Yogurt first opened in Fort Lee on March 9th, 2023, serving up a menu of flavored drinkable yogurts and Japanese cheesecake. Situated on Fort Lee’s Main Street, Hey Yogurt has quickly garnered popularity in the area — and, naturally, the dessert shop’s next move was to open a Hoboken location.

Per Jersey Digs, Hoboken’s Historic Preservation Committee approved a signage application for 90 Hudson Street during their June 5th meeting. Formerly a medical office, this Hudson Street outpost is the site of the new Hey Yogurt location.
The “health conscious” eatery previously confirmed on its website that it was “coming soon to” the Mile Square City, and locals spotted a ‘Coming Soon’ sign in the storefront’s window in late 2023. A Reddit thread mentioned a few months ago that the yogurt chain would be opening in Hoboken in March of 2024.
A few days ago, Hey Yogurt announced the opening of its Hoboken location via Instagram, including a few grand opening specials:
“Come by our new Hoboken location for a special Grand Opening promotion!
– From 3/15-3/17 free cheesecake every day for the first 10 customers daily
– From 3/15-3/17 Free Yogurt for first 30 customers from 12:30pm-1:30pm and 5:30pm-6:30pm
– 3/15-3/31 Bogo drink (only same flavor)
We can’t wait to see you there! ”

As for the drinks + eats, Hey Yogurt’s menu really only has three options: drinkable yogurt, along with cheesecake or creampuffs. If you’re hesitant about drinkable yogurt, think of it as a healthy smoothie, with flavor options ranging from dessert-esque (Oreo and oatmeal) to fruity (mango, banana, strawberry, etc.). The Japanese-style double-fromage cheesecakes are spongy and sweet, with flavors like matcha, durian, and hojicha up for grabs.

Per its website, Hey Yogurt describes itself as the perfect balance: “sweet enough to put a smile on your face but not too overly sweet that it completely overwhelms the flavor.” This ethos informs the ingredients used at the shop, too, which Hey Yogurt says are “daily fresh ingredients to ensure that every product is made with the highest level of quality control.”

New Bagel Shop, B Bagels, Soft Opens in Downtown Jersey City
The bagel scene in Jersey City is small, if we're being honest. But over the last year, a few new bagel shops have entered the growing dough scene. The newest addition is B Bagels, which soft-opened today, Wednesday, January 15th at 367 Grove Street in downtown Jersey City. Read on for more about the newest bagel spot in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Details
The B Bagels news first came from JC Upfront, which covered the story in March 2024 when signage went up, though B's had originally posted on its Instagram in January 2024. The article noted that limited information was available at the time, but it appeared that kettle-boiled, hand-rolled bagels, coffee, and other pastries along with an array of cream cheeses would be available.

When we first reported on the spot in October 2024, its Instagram hasn't been updated since early 2024 and there was no website — but the spot seemed to have a ghost kitchen operating out of 400 Newark Street in Hoboken found here.
B Bagels shared with The Hoboken Girl back in October that they were aiming for a late October/early November opening.
We now know that B Bagels has officially soft-opened in Chilltown as of Wednesday, January 15th, 2025 — just in time for National Bagel Day. Our friends over at HDSID shared the news of the opening on Tuesday, January 14th via Instagram. See the full post below.

Other bagel shops are notably joining the ranks in Jersey City: Cheech’s Bagels is a new bagel concept opening at 176 Erie Street in the Swift + Co. building — near Hamilton Park. The owners behind Cheech’s Bagels are Gianluca Fernicola and John Ballan, lifelong friends and Jersey City residents who saw a need for more bagel options in the area. Meanwhile, a recent turnover was City Bagels, which opened and quickly shuttered its doors within a few months' time. Bread Stone itself is now noted as temporarily closed on Google.
Will B Bagels stick? The bagel lovers certainly hope so. Here's the full growing list of bagel spots in Jersey City from our archives.
