There are a lot of reasons to look forward to February — and Galentine’s Day is one of them. It’s the day of friendships, girlfriends, and sisterhood. While celebrations can be challenging this year, adding a touch of pink to the day shouldn’t be. We’ve rounded up a list of cafes offering a variety of pink drinks — ranging from rose chai to beetroot lattes, and more. So grab a friend on your quaranteam, or just treat yourself to a pretty pink drink this season. Here is a guide to rose chai and pink lattes in Hoboken + Jersey City.
Hoboken

While Bluestone Lane is well-known for a cup of Joe and its brunch menu, the baristas also serve up beetroot lattes. In addition to being beautiful, the latte is healthy and made with dehydrated beet powder that’s great for digestion and in preventing an afternoon energy crash.

Three different locations mean three times the opportunity to enjoy a sweet beet latte. The vibrant latte is made using non-dairy milk, beet extract, and sweetened with agave. Don’t forget to stop by in the summertime for the pink lavender cold brew or pink rose hot chocolate during the cold season!
Cafe Vista {527 Monroe Street}
When in search of an instagrammable cafe in Hoboken, look no further than Cafe Vista. Patrons can find one of the prettiest rose lattes in the area, made with rose tea, rose water, steamed milk, and adorned with edible rose petals. This is a real treat for both your palette and Instagram.
Hidden Grounds Coffee {700 Garden Street}

While this spot is known for its deliciously brewed coffee, a trip to hidden grounds is incomplete without the rose chai latte made with a rose chai syrup, steamed milk, and topped off with pistachios.

Any day can be made better with a good cup of coffee from Jefferson’s, and more so with the wide range of pink drinks including the beetroot latte that’s made with beet powder, hot water, and steamed milk. There’s also a cherry, raspberry rose and a strawberry latte made with syrup, an espresso shot, and milk of your choice.
Mojo Coffee {230 Willow Avenue}
Somewhat new to the Hoboken neighborhood, and clearly already a local fav, Mojo serves a delicious beetroot latte made with beetroot powder, rich in antioxidants, and helps to detoxify and re-energize you after a long day.
Simply Chai {79 Hudson Street}

Nestled right by the Hoboken Path, Simply Chai offers great decor and even better rose chai latte {iced or hot}. Made with Rooh afza {a concentrated squash from India} and topped off with rose petals, it’s a true treat for the eyes and taste buds.
