Discover why this NJ city tops national list for best coffee

There's no better cup of coffee than the first one you have in the morning, but if you have that cup in Jersey City you will be enjoying it in one of the best coffee cities in America.

So says Rent.com, which placed Jersey City at number 14 of its recently published its "Best Coffee Cities in America."

Included among the best coffee shops in Jersey City:

Modcup, with locations in the Heights, Journal Square and Harborside. Their coffee is so good it's also selling out in Korea, according to nj.com.

The Grind Shop in Bergen-Lafayette is known for terrific seasonal drinks and pastries, and is one of the few places in the state you can find a La Colombe draft latte on tap, according to nj.com

Treehouse in Westside has very creative coffee drinks — try the El Jefe, which combines Mexican cola, espresso, bourbon vanilla syrup and cinnamon.
