"I love love love this place. I’m been enough times to get the vibe of it. It is more than your average cafe in terms of food options. They do not have service so you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Although it isn’t exact science, I feel very strongly that they do not make your drink well if you don’t tip. I’m happy to do so, but if I’m getting my drink to-go I’m not going to tip. Not shockingly (like most cafes) my drinks to-go are significantly worse than if I would sit. I really love all their food options and they have friendly staff. They even have a chai they make themselves which I love so much. Their coffee is amazing and they spin the milk well. They are very busy most of time, so it isn’t a place that you can sit for a long time if you’ve finished your drink without feeling awkward while you watch people waiting for a seat. If I had to choose a coffee shop to sit and enjoy in the area - this is definitely the spot."

"This is a great place for breakfast/brunch. The service is quick and the staff are super nice. I definitely recommend the getting the latte, as well as the pancakes and the chicken panini!"

"As a reviewer, it's my pleasure to mention this young man who works on the floor, Javan Haler. Because of the way, my sister and I were welcomed by him said it all. Javan's engagement and patience skills are pretty amazing not just to us but to others as I observed. The environment of this place is pretty clean, smells good, and it is attractive. The food bar and coffee bar baked goods are pretty good in my opinion. It's a pretty good place for a lunch date with a friend, family, and Significant others. My favorite coffee is a honey Lavender latte."

"A very nice and elegant café to study, socialize or relax alone, the latte was very rich with flavor and creamy. The employees are very welcoming and polite. Whenever you’re in Montclair, you have to stop by this beautiful café and give it a try."

"Great local breakfast / brunch / lunch spot in Upper Montclair. I had the Nitro Cold Brew, which was excellent. The place is well organized and clean, well kept. Will be going back very soon for the food!"
