A new coffee shop has opened its doors at the base of a new 629-unit apartment building in Jersey City’s fast-growing West Side neighborhood.
The business, Three Thirds Café, occupies part of the ground-floor retail space at what’s known as 3 Acres at 400 Claremont Ave. It will serve residents of the more than 600 apartments that the building’s developer has leased in recent months, as well as the surrounding area, offering what it described as an industrial-inspired setting with an emphasis on art and music.
The café, operated by the team behind Amelia’s Bistro in the city’s Paulus Hook section, is open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“We wanted to create something special for not only the residents of 3 Acres, but also the community at large,” said JB Geibel, vice president of development of 400 Claremont LLC. “Of course, that started with securing the talents of Amelia’s Bistro team, well-respected restaurateurs who are well-versed in serving the Jersey City community at its downtown café. They crafted a theme for a café that would be a casual oasis away from the hustle and bustle of urban life where customers can enjoy the finest coffee, baked goods, food and more. The result was Three Thirds Café, a one-of-kind neighborhood spot that will comfort and welcome its guests with great coffee and food, pleasant service and a warm, hospitable environment.”
Three Thirds Café is part of the on-site retail offerings at 3 Acres that will also soon feature The Lobby Bar and Table at 3 Acres restaurant. The shop offers local goods with beans sourced from Modcup coffee roasters and food from Baltazhar Bakery, including breads, pastries, scones, muffins and waffles.
Leasing has been underway at 3 Acres since late last year. According to The Marketing Directors, which is renting the property, hundreds of residents have already moved in, benefiting from some 70,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity space and a location near mass transit and several major highways.
Monthly rents for 3 Acres start from the mid-$1,700s with incentives.
