50 Best Coffee Shops near Pequannock

“This place is beautiful, quaint, and welcoming. The desserts and pastries are delicious! My only critique is that it seems that flavor had been unecesarily sacrificed for “healthiness” on a few dishes like the oatmeal pancake, and quiche. Regardless, we will be back for the delicious coffee and pastries next time we are on the east coast!“

“When I first discovered this cafe I instantly fell in love with the atmosphere of the cafe. Everything on the menu is so delicious! And the staff is super friendly.“

“Best coffee around, completely blows Starbucks out of the water. Ditch Starbucks and Dunkin, come here instead!“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“I enjoy this coffee shop. The environment is great. Their drinks are phenomenally better than Starbucks. It's not as noisy as other coffee shops in the area. The sunlight is great in the library room.

The only downside is that one of the male baristas is not very friendly and he looks annoyed when you order a drink. He has consistently tried to close the shop 15-30 minutes early. He shuts down and cleans the machines before the end of shift so if you arrive like 15-20 minutes before closing time you might not be able to buy the drink you drove 20 minutes to get. I completely understand wanting to be efficient and needing to leave but it's inconvenient when you've driven 20 minutes across town for a to go drink based on the hours posted. He has also turned down other people so I'm not the only one with this experience.

I've been several times and female baristas are extremely friendly. Otherwise it was a 5 star experience. I just always hope I don't get the grumpy barista. It seems like I usually run into him though.

Parking: Sometimes the parking lot is full and it's hard to find a space due to the other businesses in complex.“

“Best brownie I’ve ever eaten was the Dubai kunafa brownie. They didn’t have any made and were kind enough to make me one, on the fly, since I couldn’t wait until later due to a flight. I cannot wait to come back to NYC so I can have more tasty treats“

“Great coffee (best I've ever had), cozy atmosphere, great baristas.“

“We ordered our Thanksgiving dinner this year from Comfort Kitchen Cafe and every single thing was delicious! The turkey was the best turkey everyone has had! Moist, delicious and was even carved to perfection. The mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, carrot and lasagna were amazing too. Oh and the salad! Everyone raved about the food and we will definitely be ordering again next year! Thank you for bringing this gem to Kinnelon!“

“If there were more stars, I'd give them. We are from out of state (formerly from Waldwick) and needed to send a brunch catering to a dear family. Bagel Supreme was professional, sweet, considerate and kind. I called on a Sunday afternoon at 1 PM (about an hour before the store closed) and the owner had his wife call "within the hour." She did and spent time with me on the phone getting the right order to fit my request for the family. Then sent multiple texts to confirm everything throughout the evening. Talk about going ABOVE AND BEYOND! They delivered PROMPTLY as promised the next day and they sent us pictures of the platters to ensure that we saw what was delivered. Greeting cards to mark the occasion with our thoughts HAND WRITTEN were attached. The store would NOT take money until the order was delivered even though I offered to pay in advance. I will absolutely use them in the future for long distance gift giving (who doesn't like food as a gift)? And this will be our very first stop when we are back in town. 1,000% recommend!!!“

“Jackie Smalls – My New Favorite Brunch Spot!

I don’t usually go out for brunch because most places serve the same old eggs and pancakes, but Jackie Smalls completely changed my mind. This has to be my favorite breakfast/brunch spot I’ve tried!

I ordered the Freekeh Bowl, Grains of Nazareth, and French Toast, and every dish was incredibly fulfilling and well-balanced. But let me tell you—the French Toast was hands down the best I’ve ever had. They use sourdough bread infused with rose, which adds such a unique flavor. The whipped cream on the side was unbelievably fresh (unlike anything I’ve had before!), and the maple syrup had just the right amount of sweetness.

If you haven’t been to Jackie Smalls yet, you need to give it a try. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!“

“I love baking all the goodies we offer!!“

“Our server Jose was great. Food was delicious, fresh and substantial portions. Highly recommend. Since so popular be prepared to wait on the weekends but well worth it!

Parking: We were lucky enough to get a spot in front of the restaurant as someone was pulling out. There are parking spots throughout that section.“

“I love my visit to Howard. I enjoyed meeting the owner who was very friendly and attentive, and even gave me samples to try which I love. I will come back here to see my new friends and to try the different things that they offer in their menus. I recommend this place With my five stars“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“Great overall experience and the Energy in the water, the people and the atmosphere is OFF the charts!!!🎉🎉🎉“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“One of my favorite coffee spots to sit down, read, or study. The atmosphere is just ideal for focusing and relaxing. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, making it a great place to linger. Plus, the coffee is consistently excellent, always brewed to perfection. It’s the perfect place to unwind and get some work done“

“If you're local and know coffee, you know Local coffee shop– a sweet Watchung gem where everybody knows your name *cue Cheers intro song*.

My partner and I first started visiting Local in 2021, and it's been our go-to since. Despite having four coffee shops closer to home, none of them match the quality of Local. That's why it's become part of our daily routine. We can always count on them to get it right. Plus, we've become friendly with the owners and baristas. Everyone there is professional and genuinely kind and caring.

Known for their warm and personal service, Local offers the best coffee and espresso in the Montclair area. Their menu is thoughtfully curated, featuring delicious seasonal drinks without overwhelming choices. My personal favorite? A perfectly crafted cappuccino, the perfect start to my mornings.

Though it's a small shop, there's plenty of seating both inside and outdoors. It's always a good sign when there are regulars hanging out, chatting or working. Somehow there is always plenty of room for all to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to catch up with old friends or make new ones :)

Vegetarian options: ALT MILKS

“Over a month ago while on a day trip to Upper Montclair with friends, I spied an artisanal chocolatier. Inside were bars, confections, hot chocolate and bark. I bought three bars for each of my friends. For myself, I took a Dominican Republic bar of organic single origin 66% and a packet of orangettes. I decided to eat both in Pune. The bar was enjoyed with every bite. The chocolate was smooth, non acidic and imparted a tasty finish. The orangettes I regrigerated due to the hot weather and have been eating and savoring each morsel slowly. Both my friends enjoyed their bars. The lady helping us was informative and gave us samples. When I return home, I plan to make another visit as it's far nicer than buying it online.“

“I’m Soo in love with this place“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“Lunch was absolutely great. I would definitely go again!“

“I love Hug a Mug so much!! The owner is incredibly kind and makes sure to get to know her customers. The baristas seem to have expertise and knowledge about coffee and are passionate to work here. It’s a great environment to relax in after a long day, and their seating is super comfortable and has good variety. I tell people to visit all the time :)“

“Great Mission Amazing Staff. Empowering the Community. Visit Clean Water Café and Support the cause.“

“Conveniently located on NJ-23 Palazzone 1960 is a great spot for Italian food and pastries. Oh and the coffee is also excellent.

Staff is so welcoming and attentive. Service was fast.

Location is small but it’s perfect. Means they focus on the customer they have. You don’t feel rushed.“

“I stopped by for an iced oat milk latte while waiting for a nearby appointment and enjoyed the drink and the relaxed vibe. This is the second Java Love I've visited and I plan to return to hang out and do some reading. The staff was kind and welcoming.“

“Stopped here on my drive into NYC. Very clean (including the restrooms), plenty of comfortable seating, and friendly staff. I had a my usual coffee and my friend ordered a breakfast burrito which she enjoyed. The location was an easy on/off from the main highway and safe.“

“I must say i love love loveee this place. Amazing service amazing people. I do miss the guy at drive thru Matt he was so sweet. Ugh he made my day every time. I also really appreciate this young girl there i believe her names was Narciss. She was so cute and adorable as she stayed patient to help my children figure out their favorite drinks and now they dont let me go anywhere else?. I always come in to see that sweet barista because she truly made us feel welcomed which alot of baristas tend to lack.“

“A happy manager and happy people make better drinks. It’s so worth the drive from Pompton Lakes because Austin, the manager in Wayne, knows what customer service means and he is people oriented so the drinks are tastier. He made our drinks a few days in a row and my husband noticed the difference too!“

“Great place, cozy home-like atmosphere. Delicious food and desserts. Wonderful selection of cards and gifts. Then there's the candy counter! lol Friendly staff to top it all off.!!“

“Amazing tea shop! My wife and I enjoyed the Tea Ceremony with owner Fengxiao very much. Extremely relaxing and informative. Fengxiao spent extra time with us and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. Her very laid back approach to the ceremony made it very enjoyable. It was well worth our 2 hour drive to her shop. After the ceremony we purchased one of the 3 amazing teas we had. It was the Wild Old Tree Lao Ban Zhang Ripe Pu-erh Tea, 2005. A very good Puer at an extremely reasonable price. We also purchase a clay pot of excellent quality which was also very well priced. I am going to use Sinofilia Tea Shop for future online purchases. I highly recommend visiting Fengxiao’s store and booking the Tea Ceremony. At the end of our visit, we felt like we had met a new friend!“

“😋 We eat at this restaurant whenever we travel from VA. to RI. Every meal is delicious! Everyone is friendly. We love this place!😎“

“We have been to Made in Italy many times during all of the ownership changes. We have been for dinner, had graduation parties and gone for dessert only. We were so happy to hear that it was open at night again. My husband recently had knee replacement and was itching to get out. We decided to go for coffee/dessert at Made in Italy. He struggled to get in the car and out when we arrived. It was 8:30 Saturday night when they close at 10. There were over 15 tables open - we asked to be seated for coffee and dessert only to be told they don’t do that. They wouldn’t seat us - they gave us their card and told us to check the menu when we got home- which we did. The second paragraph of the website says - stop by just to have a cup of our gourmet coffee. They had many tables open and preferred to turn us away. Needless to say - we will not be going back.“

“Warmth the minute I walked in. ♥️“

“This place is great. Highly recommend. One of the best spots around. Between the food, coffee and service, this place is a 10 out of 10. They’re very caring and friendly! The blueberry scones are the what ones I’ve had. So good !!“

“The managers Steven and Austin are great! Stopped by last week and they gifted the girl scouts outside hot chocolate for free. My heart!“
