Terry's Coffee Shop

good coffee on bergenline avenue isn't a given, so when a place holds its ground and keeps people coming back, that counts for something. terry's has built that kind of quiet, local loyalty in union city, a densely packed stretch of hudson county where the coffee options range from bodegas to chains and not much in between. you don't cross the hudson for this, but if you're already in the area, or you're the kind of person who takes a detour seriously, it's worth the trip. the neighborhood is working-class and unhurried, and terry's fits that rhythm without making a statement about it. come for a mid-morning coffee on a weekday, when bergenline is at its most itself.
