48 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Montclair

“Orange - Carmel crãpe....ABSOLUTELY delighted ????
The balance of flavors was impeccable-the sweetness of the carmel combined perfectly with the citrusy zest of the orange, creating a unique and mouthwatering experience. The crãpe itself was light, thin, and perfectly cooked, with a delightful texture that melted in my mouth. This dish is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a refined dessert with a twist. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.“

“Food is fresh and has so much flavor. I really enjoyed the meal. Family had a french omelette, a steak sandwich , French toast and veggie quesadillas. Everything was excellent. But the empanadas were out of this world especially the guava and cheese I'm addicted.“

“I had breakfast at Toast Montclair this morning! The food was overall enjoyable, though with a few drawbacks. I had the chicken wrap, which tasted good but had a bit too much blue cheese, giving it a slightly vinegary taste. Still, I’d rate it 8/10. The wrap came with fries, which were overly greasy and not very appealing, wouldn’t recommend the fries , u can substitute for fruits tho or salad . My boyfriend had a bagel with eggs and home fries, and he really enjoyed his meal. While there were some hits and misses, it was a decent experience overall.“

“Pamela was great when every time I visit I would love to get her she did an excellent job!! GREAT JOB PAMELA!!!!!!“

“Visited this location with my boyfriend and had a really nice server. Our food took a while but she made sure she came to us and let us know everything was coming out in like about 12 to 15min. She brought us out half our meals because she said she didn't wanted us waiting with nothing. We appreciated that. Other servers at other places would just let people sit but this young lady kept it professional. She explained everything and gave us refills without us even asking!“

“I recommend everything about it. The food is phenomenal. The service is impeccable. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I have been getting Dominican food from this joint for more than 15 years and it is always on point. They do not over season their food like most Dominican hot bar style restaurants do and their pernil is always good, not too salty not bland, not extremely juicy but not dry either and it's been really cheap and consistent with flavors. Out of the variety in the Passaic and Paterson area, this place is my number one choice for whenever I am craving Dominican food.“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“Breakfast in a hurry! I stopped by to get a taste of an everything bagel with Taylor Ham, Eggs and Cheese. It came out hot, fresh and fast. The bagel was tasty and the eggs were cooked just right. Price was a bit high for what it was, but I would definitely stop here again in my travels. This establishment definitely has a neighborhood place type of feel and seemed to be filled with the local crowd.

Parking: Right in front and plenty of space.“

“Excellent.. Axel, Arelean Nicole all the waiters, waitresses, cooks, incredible staff.. it's like Cheers.. great friendly place great food.. great way to start the day.“

“It is a small shop but they have many customers. You can take it to go or stay and eat indoors.
Stopped in here one morning to see what they had for breakfast options. My avocado toast was very tasty. Just the right amount of flavor. The bread was thick and toasted so it did not get soggy.
My smoothie was the perfect refreshment on one of hottest days of the year. I will definitely be back.“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“My go-to ? I love coming here for breakfast/lunch. Absolutely great service, quick, feels very cozy, and the food has always been exceptional.

“the Ecuadorian sandwich...that's not a real item from my country... you should change the name I feel you should google the right food“

“Food cooked fresh to order, nice size portions. Great Atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“This place is amazing! It feels like home. From the welcoming staff, the ambiance, music, and, of course, Ms. Sheila's delicious cooking, everything was perfect. Everyone, including the owner, made sure that we had a wonderful experience. I will definitely return when I travel back to New Jersey. 🥰“

“Small place. Friendly service. Place is decorated nicely. Just a few tables. Standard diner counter cafe and a few high chairs with tabletop counters in front window. Pancakes were the fluffiest I've seen ina while the blueberries were plump and delicious. They let you order a single pancake if you want which is cool. Took a pic after I started eating so you'll have to imagine the other half of the pancake“

“It was several years since I've been here. I don't know what I waited for. This place simply is the best around. I have not had anything that is not stellar. The omelets and hash browns are so good. My daughter had the French toast which was amazing. Do not miss this when you're in the area.... Gi6ve stars“

“I eat their tasty hamburgers all the time. Friendly people. Very clean. Close to where I live. Very convenient location for me.“

“Service was quick and efficient! The sandwich was perfectly made how I requested. The bagel is nicely fresh. Their coffee is fresh and they have plenty options for your coffee, I love that. I hate when you they only offer, milk or cream. They had soy and almond milk as well. I didn't sit there to eat but its a nice and busy place. This might be my favorite place for breakfast now!“

“Came across this restaurant as I was searching for Black owned eateries in this new neighborhood we just moved to. When we arrived, the exterior was a little off putting, LOL! So glad Shaun himself stepped out as well as a gentleman who came to pick up his order. We got to ask his opinion of the food. He told us this was his 7th time back so we thought, Let’s give it a try! $58 later, we got 3 meals and WOW! Delicious!!! Everything was so GOOD! Catfish, Yams, Mac n Cheese (and I am VERY picky about Mac n cheese), Honey Garlic Salmon, BBQ wings, rice and gravy and that cornbread!!!! Definitely coming back! I hope this review helps another skeptic not miss out on a GREAT SPOT!!!!! Worth the try! The portions are hearty! So glad we decided to give it a shot!!!“

Food is always top notch and employees are very friendly. This is the place. Thank you Dino and Helen for 30+ years of greatness.“

“My go-to sandwich spot! Delicious! Inexpensive! My son is also completely addicted to the grilled cheese sandwiches they make, we go every Saturday for lunch. I love that everything is clean and sanitary, not every deli knows how to make a good “Bodega sandwich” but this spot NAILS it.“

I'm going to be a forever customer and I hope they don't ever change like everything else in the city seems to be doing.“

“This week Pimientos de Padrón Chipirones Vieiras Berberechos Ameixas Cada producto above and beyond. Highly recommended.“

“My family and I have been coming to this bagel shop it's it opened up. They've been consistent with hospitality, cleanliness and extremely reasonable with pricing across the board. The most important thing that this bagel shop has that no other shop does is that it's an open concept, you see everything done in front of you from the rolling of the bagels, the baking to the food being cooked. All other breakfast food establishments I've been too divide the front and the back so you don't necessarily see what's going on. Having worked with the clifton health department in the past, let's just say there is a reason as to why we prefer ordering from here. Thank you for taking care of my entire family for 15+ years.“

“Always stop in for breakfast when I'm up by Union. Their Bacon egg and cheese plus a coffee taste amazing

Parking: Usually plenty of parking, 2 cars can fit in the front on the street and 5+ in the lot, depends how busy“

“I love this place. It's difficult these days to find a local bagel store that makes their bagels in house.On my last trip, was the first time I was disappointed. I always order well done bagels and ask for the darkest bagel. Last time, there were perfect, dark everything bagels right on top, and the girl went out of her way to dig through them and pull out a bagel as light as white bread, that I wasn't shown. My meal was less enjoyable this time when I got home.“

“lox w/cc on a croissant and cup of coffee for years❤ best bagels and bialys!“

“Best Onion Rings ever! Friendly service and a great place to dine.“

“A very wonderful person, seller and cook. The food was not expensive but big and very well prepared. And most importantly, the attitude towards me was at a high level and the food was served with a sincere smile, which is now a rarity. I recommend to everyone“

“As we walked in,we were greeted by the cashier, Staff seemed busy and yet attentive. We were seated quite quickly and we were a party of 6.(3 kids,3 adults). The food was hot & good and everyone received what they ordered. They also sang Happybday and also provided 2 cup cakes!, for the kids' bday. Bathrooms were clean, and parking was plenty. The interior could use some sprucing up. Couches in the entrace were a bit tattered and could use more attention. Also, the outside, around the front of the IHOP, and surrounding fencing areas. Otherwise, the associates were fantastic, smiling, and pleasant. We absolutely will return!

Parking: Outside available parking,with a lot of spots that are a available.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly, highchair is available upon request.

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a accessible ramp.“
