Been going to though in motion since they opened and am friends with everyone there. There are a great group of people and TIM is one of the best places if want to meet other positive and like minded people. Adding the water bar was a really smart idea and not only does it help me and my family, but I also wanted to add that the water helped my fish lol After the last 7 years I’ve had a small fish tank in the kitchen and I tried everything to keep the fish I like alive, a beta fish. The most one would last was 3 or 4 months and I would change the water with Poland Spring water. Since I started using the Tim water along with using Prime, droplets that remove chlorine, my beta fish called Patriot has lasted over a year and a half and is still going strong. So yeah, thanks for everything.

We just moved to Montclair and are absolutely thrilled to have discovered the Waterbar. Definitely the purest and best tasting water we’ve ever tried. And membership in the water program is a real highlight of moving into town. Great staff, great atmosphere, and a sense of magic.

Sandy was kind enough to open early when we arrived prior to opening this morning! The coffee, elixirs, and wellness shots were fantastic. Sandy was so intentional, engaging, and delightful. The storefront is gorgeous and so relaxing. Thank you so much taking such great care of Tricia, Emily, Elizabeth, and Gemma/Gladys!

This place operates less like a coffee shop and more like a strange, self-important mini-cult with a superiority complex and a price list that borders on comedy. The vibe isn’t truly warm, welcoming or community-minded if you think a bit harder about it — it’s preachy, performative and obsessed with its own mythology. Somehow the people have managed to spin tap water into a spiritual elixir and expect customers to be grateful to pay for it.
The owner behaves as though she’s running an audition, not a café. Instead of hospitality, you get invasive “energy readings” and judgemental commentary about who is or isn’t worthy of being there. It’s egotistical, uncomfortable and frankly creepy.
What ultimately truly earns this place a one-star rating is the distinct lack of integrity: the staff openly gossip about regular customers in the kitchen, apparently forgetting that sound carries and people have ears. If this is how they speak about loyal patrons, it tells you everything you need to know about the culture behind the counter.
Overpriced drinks, an unsettling atmosphere and a shocking lack of professionalism. If you’re looking for a genuine Montclair café experience, there are plenty of better choices.

The Waterbar is everything one might want in a cafe. The hospitality is unmatched, the food delicious and lovingly prepared and the coffee is top shelf. Stay and browse all the incredible art and products they have available. Truly a delightful place to pass an hour or a full morning.

The water subscription is so worth it, using the water to drink, make coffee, or cook with. Great drinks and snacks to enjoy when we dip in. Chill atmosphere.

The Water Bar in Montclair is unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. It is such an intentional, sacred space. You can feel it the moment you walk in. The energy is palpable, like stepping into a higher vibration. I honestly have no words… I left absolutely buzzing. Pure magic.
Love this place! I am an energy healer and totally resonate with this spot. Coffee and Matcha using Filtered water infused with crystals and a daily intention… nothing tastes better! Staff is fabulous, energy is great !!

Such a beautiful space with exceptional customer service. The water tastes so good and gets me to drink more than I usually would. Can't wait to come again and sit down to enjoy the space.
