Intrinsic Cafe is a beautiful cafe located in the heart of Newark, NJ on Sussex Ave. There’s plenty of seating inside, and even a patio area out back. The cafe is great for setting up your laptop or just enjoying a cup of coffee or pastry. The iced vanilla latte I had was very flavorful. The service is friendly and just overall good vibes.

I hate when people say this bc it’s so over used...but this is literally the epitome of a “hidden gem” It’s exactly what you’re looking for. Can’t believe I’ve passed this countless times. Quaint and Quiet (until I walked in) but it’s such a vibe. if it’s for you, you immediately feel you got it right upon entry. Smell of coffee affirms the taste. The options are limitless they have a limited edition menu that is worded perfectly. The bubble tea was tasty. I like places that make you feel comfortable to ask questions if you’re wanting to extend your palate. They have a back yard and front outdoor seating area which looks cool to meet up and potentially talk more comfortably.Parking is plentiful. They also had a cool community board of events that was cool to me. Oh yea they stay open mad late too. Just go.

The cafe has a cozy vibe with sofas, wall art, string lights... plus it has got a cute patio seating. Feels like sitting inside a story book. Taro Bubble Tea with tapioca pearls is a must try! Ask for extra scoop of taro for a great taste.

A quaint Cafe to grab a Chai Latte and a Nutella cookie for your afternoon pick me up. The service was friendly, quick, and professional. I'll definitely stop by again when I return to NJIT. Thanks for an awesome visit. It was a beautiful day outside so I sat on a small park across the street on NJIT campus, but they have tables and chairs inside.

I got a hot chocolate and some came to enjoy and the place was definitely the best cafe there. It was nice because the place was beautiful and it had many borad games to enjoy with friends, and also the workers there were so nice and kind. It was an amazing experience. And the prices are also amazing I would definitely go here again.

This is such an aesthetic cafe that is very chill to study or just have bubble tea dates! I love how it’s decorated and how small it is. I had a strawberry smoothie with tapioca and passion fruit slushee with mango pop. They were made so well and very quickly. They do have snacks and baked good which looked very good & fresh! The service here is always quick & the workers are always kind.

Because of the pandemic, many small businesses are considering their next steps. When the opportunity presents itself, I try to support them any way I can. I stumbled upon Intrinsic Cafe in Newark, NJ, and I was so happy I did! Their front patio and open backyard space are cozy and inviting, great place to kick back and sip/eat your troubles away. They are accommodating in every aspect for this day in age: food selection, outdoor space, and service. These are fine qualities to possess in any business, even more so for a gem like this. Take some time to meet Wanny and Claude-Alix, the owner and manager respectively, of Intrinsic Cafe. They were wonderful, patient and always happy to see a friendly face. Thank you both for a wonderful first visit experience and I look forward to going back! Don’t forget to support small local businesses!

Cute cafe! I ordered the lover coffee: it kinda tasted like watered down coffee, but it was okay. The atmosphere was cute and cozy. They have so many options for foods and drinks and wish I could try them all!
