At this point, matcha might just be North Jersey’s unofficial drink of the summer. From specialty cafés to grocery store shelves, the green tea craze shows no signs of slowing down, but there is one local matcha brand that Jersey City and Hoboken residents have been consistently lining up for: Jane’s Matcha. What started as a farmers market stand grew into a year-long residency at The Alps in Jersey City, where loyal fans regularly stopped by for their daily green fix. Now, Jane’s Matcha is taking the next big step with a permanent brick-and-mortar location coming to 93 Franklin Street in Jersey City. Read on for what we know about Jane’s Matcha’s new home.
Jane’s Matcha Is Coming to The Heights
On May 30th, Jane shared on social media that her beloved pop-up had officially come to a close, but the announcement hinted that this was not the end of the story. The very last line of the caption simply read, “more news to come…” Naturally, speculation started swirling among local matcha lovers, and after receiving several tips, we have officially confirmed with Jane and her team that a permanent home is on the way. Jane’s Matcha will be taking over the former Green Pear Café space at 93 Franklin Street in Jersey City, giving fans a dedicated destination for their favorite matcha creations.

What to Expect at Jane’s Matcha in Jersey City
Unlike a traditional coffee shop, Jane’s Matcha is designed to be a tea room centered around the ritual and experience of tea. Every matcha beverage will be hand-whisked (as she already does) to order using traditional tools and ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from Japan. Guests will also be able to enjoy individual and shareable teapot sets featuring premium loose-leaf teas, including hojicha, genmaicha, and sencha.

Fans of Jane’s Matcha, yes, including a bunch of The Hoboken Girl team, can also look forward to the return of the brand’s signature Honeycomb Latte. The drink has been a favorite since the farmers market days and features matcha or hojicha with a choice of milk, topped with house-made cold foam, handcrafted honeycomb candy, and local honey sourced from Jersey City’s Swarm King Apiary.
The food menu is also shaping up to be something exciting. Jane has teamed up with Jersey City resident Chef Joe Piccirillo to develop a menu that is expected to include house-made baked goods, onigiri, and shokupan sandos.
A Full-Circle Moment for Jane’s Matcha
For founder Jane Yang, opening in The Heights is more than just a business move. It is a return to the neighborhood that helped the brand grow from the very beginning.
“I always knew if I was going to do this, it would start right here,” Yang said. “The Heights showed up for us on a cold, rainy Sunday before we’d even found our footing, and we’ve been trying to give that back ever since. We’ve been so grateful to grow with this neighborhood, and we can’t wait to give it a place to slow down.”
There is no exact opening date or time just yet, but the plan is for Jane’s Matcha to open in Jersey City in summer 2026. We will update this story as more details become available.
