“Named one of the top 50 places to eat in North Jersey in 2023, this family-owned establishment, named after the owner’s sister, offers Mediterranean cuisine and much more. I came to this Taste the Top like a Yelp Elite event today thanks to Sarah and her team. Located in Wayne off of Valley Road, Jackie Small is a bright, comfortable, and cozy eatery with 13 two-seater tables open during breakfast and lunch. There was no wait upon entering and being greeted by the staff, Hector. Their menu, inspired by traditional Middle Eastern recipes, is vast, featuring their popular shawarma grain bowl, Greek salad, as well as French toast, avocado toast, grilled cheese, blueberry pancakes, veggie bowls, BLT's, etc. It's first come, first served, as one orders at the counter, has a seat, and they'll deliver your food to your table. I decided on Smalls Scramble consisting of 3 eggs soft-scrambled, Gruyere cheese, roasted tomatoes, truffle home fries, and multi-grain toast. To wash it down, I went for the Mango Supreme smoothie (mango nectar, strawberry, banana, honey, and pineapple). The food was perfect—great portions and very good quality. The smoothie was delicious and refreshing. This place checked all the boxes, which I can recommend.“

“Upon moving back to Montclair this year from Los Angeles, I stumbled upon Paper Plane Coffee Co., just a few blocks from our home. Discovering this gem was like finding a new hub of community in a beautifully special place. The welcoming vibe of the cafe is palpable from the moment you step in. The space is stunning, clean, and wonderfully appointed, creating an inviting atmosphere that beckons you to linger.The service here is unparalleled; I'd give more stars if I could! Each visit leaves me more impressed, with staff consistently delivering exceptional, friendly service.The coffee? Simply outstanding. Over the past month, I've savored a variety of their beans, and whether hot or iced, each cup is a revelation. The perfectly roasted beans reveal intricate notes that are a testament to their meticulous crafting.I’m particularly fond of their pour-over options, which are available even iced – a unique treat that complements their incredible selection of beans. The consistency in quality and the use of incredibly top-shelf ingredients in their creations set them apart. The menu refreshes monthly, introducing unique offerings that demonstrate creativity and a deep passion for coffee.In my opinion, Paper Plane Coffee Co. is not just a coffee shop, but the pinnacle among coffee roasters and cafes, elevating the standard far beyond what I typically have seen even in specialty coffee or third-wave establishments I frequented. Their commitment to quality and innovation sets a benchmark that others in the industry should aspire to. Here's to many more years of success for this outstanding establishment and its exceptional team!“

“In my opinion, Brick+Dough has the best pizza in NNJ. Now, obviously, I am a bigger fan of rustique-style pizza than traditional (NY Style or otherwise). But the pizza is always, always on point and the staff is both courteous and extremely helpful. The managers are generous and everyone there always greets us with a smile, whether they're bored or busy and stressed.The place not only has a family feel to it, but it is run with a genuine feeling of family as well. In today's environment, with everyone bending over backwards to get as many people in and out, the fact that the place is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays is a huge positive. For me, at least.Give it a try, everyone. I promise that you will not be disappointed.“

“Cute coffee shop! Ordered the honey bee lavender latte. It was delicious. Also tempted to indulge in the bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. The craving was definitely met.Seating area is ok with minimal couches, mostly bar seating available. Service was friendly. Had to wait a bit because the shop got a little crowded, but it was worth the wait.Highly recommend.“

“Pour City Roasters is the best coffee around. So much better then the big chain places. Jimi, Allison and family make you feel at home when you go in. The service is excellent and they treat you like family. The coffee is like nothing you have ever had. Go have a cup and you will not be “

“Stopped in for the first time over the weekend and was very happy with our visit! The pastries/pies we tried were all very delicious and tasted like they were made from quality ingredients. Everyone that worked there were also super friendly and helpful. It was hard not to leave with additional goodies that I wasn’t originally intending on!“

“Absolutely a gem of a place! My daughter got a Cookie Monster milkshake and I got the most delicious mousse cake. Honestly there were so many choices we had to play Ennie Meenie Miney Mo to choose which one to get. Not pictured: the chocolate cupcake she devoured in 2 seconds. Run, don't walk, to Soulmate Cafe.“

“Great new find in Montville that delivers tasty and authentic Mediterranean food. The place was clean with friendly staff. We ordered the gyros and hummus and they were more than enough for two and reasonable priced too. Will be coming back soon“

“Recently visited this coffee place for a book club gathering l. Coffee was amazing as was the service. The toasted sandwich options were good too. The Pastries were apparently delicious as informed by others in our group. Would definitely visit again for the coffee alone.“

“I love a home run...a trifecta :)It's a cozy but clean location...bright & warm vibe with the woods & metals. What can make it more welcoming???!!! A baked goods, sandwich, and other goodies glass showcase as soon as you step in....sorry no picture!The service is AMAZING by far #1 on my list of places BUT not over bearing. They took care of all our needs with kindness & gentleness while allowing us to enjoy our time together.The food tasted as if from FARM TO TABLE...fresh, crisp, warm and light. The arepas were perfect...my grandma and mom are straight from Colombia so arepas are huge...these meet the criteria, soft but cooked on the inside and grilled perfectly, moist not dry. My son's Eggs Benedict was delish and the bread wasn't the usual English muffin instead a thick slice of heavenly toast. The avocado toast was unbelievable and scrumptious. I had both Arepa dishes...both very good but the beef and cheese was exceptional :)Look forward to going back!“

“The cutest, quaintest coffee shop you will ever see! I love small businesses, because they take such care and devotion into handcrafting every drink, and you can see whyAnd if you can’t decide you can get a flight! The tiramisu, and the Italian rainbow cookie are definitely my two favorites!“

We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“

“One of the best cookies n cream scoops I've ever had. I knew from the get-go that it was going to be great when I saw the super-gray appearance. Always a good sign. It had the perfect texture and the right amount of Oreo. Don't be fooled by the remote location and the signpost. This is top-notch ice cream.“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere in here. I noticed it was pretty packed, has great live music (they even played Neil Young!), a lot of options such as cranberry apple tea, a robot, and great artwork. The patrons seem polite and it has a slightly upscale, but laid back, vibe. It is gender inclusive!Parking: It gets packed“

“Ladies and gentlemen this is one of the best cafes in and around clifton-paterson- garfield area where you can grab a very flavorful coffee and enjoy a little studying time. The cafe has plenty of seats for everyone and plenty of outlets. Mario and jason are both great baristas and are phenomenal with the customers. I definitely come here often and study and enjoy the environment and vibes of cafe. It can get a little hectic and loud when there are inconsiderate people around but all in all one of my fav cafes. They always have new drinks and the baristas are very creative. Well done!“

“I feel compelled to comment on the one-star reviews regarding the accusations of racism, as I find it deeply unsettling. The criticism leveled against the staff, suggesting a lack of attention, strikes me as a misunderstanding, particularly in light of my personal experiences. My autistic son, who is an employee of Seven Scoops, often struggles with eye contact and can unintentionally say things that might be misinterpreted.The staff at Seven Scoops has been nothing short of remarkable in their interactions with my son. They have significantly boosted his self-esteem, patiently engaged with his frequent text messages, and consistently welcomed his presence and contributions. This level of support and acceptance is a testament to their character and dedication.I urge the authors of the negative reviews to reconsider their words and instead become aware of your surroundings before placing judgement on our children with special needs.“

“I don’t typically leave reviews, but I loved this place! I stumbled in and the interior was so inviting and calm, exactly what I needed the day I found Thought in Motion. I got a golden milk latte and an infused water (recommended by the staff). Both were DELICIOUS. I was having a rough day and Sandy came out and just gave me beautiful pep talk. She had no idea that I needed that. Beautiful shop, beautiful staff. Thank you! I’ll be back❤️“
“Love the coffee and tea selection- good strong coffee that’s not bitter, and prices reasonable. People are helpful and friendly. Menu appears small until you realize that they will make you any flavor combination, hot or cold, with any milk type (real milk, almond milk…) Pictured is an iced latte with almond milk and mocha syrup and an iced caramel latte with regular milk. They also sell whole bean coffee which they will grind for you, many teas, snacks, and gift items. And just a cute nice place to sit and relax, too!“
“Me and my boyfriend stopped by to do the tea ceremony to learn more about tea & culture! The owner is so sweet & knowledgeable, the tea ceremony was definitely worth it and we learned a lot from her. The ceremony felt like fun but also as professional as taking a class on how to brew your own teas at home & their origins.Definitely reccomend stopping by for anyone who has an interest in trying new teas.“

“I would go back for the chocolate blackout donut alone, but the dirty chai latte and chocolate loaf are also worth a second visit. Perfect spot for a rainy Saturday morning to warm up from the inside out before venturing back out to take on the rest of your weekend. Looking forward to going back and trying out the rest of the drink menu and baked goods.“

“I did a Google search for a coffee shop and came upon this small, unique shop. I ordered a latte and it was very good. It’s a very small set up with a huge mission. It’s a non-profit to help people with disabilities to have a place to work. What a great cause! I didn’t get any food but the options looked quite yummy.Parking: Very little parking on the street. There is a lot behind the building which had quite a few empty spaces. Have to walk around the building to get to the storefront but not difficult or long walk.“

“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light.

“I don't think I've ever had something from JDs that I didn't like. The food is always fresh and delicious. We've used them for catering also and I was impressed with their pricing and options. Tables are always full and staff is always friendly. Quality is consistent. My favorite is constantly changing but my family loves the BLK and the patsy.“

“Thank you to Sammy who handled customers with grace this evening (a Saturday evening in early April) where customers were lined up out the door! She was working alone and yet never stressed, lost her cool and worked tirelessly until everyone had their ice cream in hand. At a day and age where I wouldn't want my own daughter working alone, she was working tirelessly to ensure her customers were happy and didn't rush through despite the line behind her and anxiously awaiting customers. I was very impressed with her!!!“

“Not only is this our neighborhood place that's easy to frequent for us, it is one of the best places in town! Consistently delicious and super friendly and efficient service. Cozy atmosphere with local artists' works on display and for sale. Daily specials in food and drink available. Great sandwiches and soups also in addition to breakfast fare! My faves are huevos rancheros or Spanish omelette, or a good ol' egg sandwich and oat latte. The French toast is also yummmm! Brunch crowd vie for tables on weekends. Perfect place for even dining alone or meeting up with friends or take a quick meeting.“

“I had the gnocchi and it was absolutely AMAZING! Not only that, but I saw that they had cheesecake so I tried a slice and can I just say, I was in HEAVEN! I am not usually a dessert kind of person, but this cheesecake might have changed my opinion on dessert, forever. If you have the chance to stop by and try their cheesecake, I highly recommend it. It was so tasty!!!! 20/10“

“Clean and modern interior, along with rich chocolate flavor, delighted both my eyes and taste buds.I bought an Iced Hot Chocolate and a 4pk Brownie. Both have a rich chocolate taste, especially the brownie, which is dense yet cuts smoothly and the harmony of nuts and salt sprinkled on top is heavenly.I will definitely come back for more??“

“What a fantastic place to go to. Very welcoming atmosphere and treat you like family. I’ve had the hex here and it is delicious. I don’t drink coffee much but they have a lot of other options that are all very good. I’ve heard the coffee is very good too. They have a great selection of yummy pastries as well. Definitely recommend going here!Wheelchair accessibility: It is easy for someone in a wheelchair to get in and out of the store from the parking lot.“

“Very charming little coffee spot! Super chill atmosphere and relaxed. Quiet for days that you want 'work from home' but not be stuck at home. There is plenty of parking with a few municipal lots and street parking as well. We did ceramic painting and there are plenty of options of items you can paint although we just stuck with mugs. I think there is a time limit when you make the reservations for the painting but it was a quiet day and they let us take our time. It is a neat little activity to do on a rainy day with friends and a cute coffee spot if you want a change from dunkin/starbucks in the area.“

“After driving by 1,000 times, I finally managed to make my way in for a latte. Their homemade caramel is simply delicious. The barista was very sweet and personable. I can't wait to go back with a good book and hang for a while. It's very comfy, cozy.“

“Been coming to Liquid Church since Christmas. Besides being baptism in May. The one thing I enjoy is the coffee here at the Clean water Cafe! But since I've reset my body over a year do to allergies. I've decided to try the spicy chicken and Polynesian Sauce! Oh man that tastes good! Pastor K is riiiiight! But I like the idea I'm also supporting a good cause by aiding areas for drilling wells. Where it's needed & where liquid church will go to who is in need. Money well spent and aiding others! Clean place to eat and also they help those with special needs. By giving these peopleA job. As far as I am concerned its a trifecta. We have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Now we have a church who helps those in need and drills Wells for those less fortunate and All supporting a good cause! If your near Jefferson Rd and Webro Rd. & craving chicken or a snack? Stop in & enjoy a comfortable place to eat.“

“Adorable, charming gem in Towaco across from the train station. Looking for some place to have lunch, my daughter and I discovered this place! The menu/food was delightful as was the Owner, Christina. Seasonal candies and goodies to match the holiday mood! And a place to just sit and have a relaxing coffee as well! Treat yourself!Parking: Train parking lot across the steeet. Also lot in the back.“
“Heavenly Temptations leads with its heart on its sleeve to create a wonderfully authentic family experience. I spent a cozzy day drinking coffee and eating delicious home-baked treats while taking reading breaks chat with the barista. The barista was the owners son and from the moment you meet him you can tell he is truly grateful for the opportunity to run his family's business and welcome each customer.Don't waste your money on other coffee shops. Supporting Heavenly Temptations is supporting hard working youth and a family dedication to their local community. And, my grandmother can't get enough of their desserts!“

“Just had the best experience with ladyfingers! I had a birthday party for my daughter and they provided a two tier cake and a coffee bar. Lauren was very responsive from start to finish. I was able to pick the flavors and filings for each tier off their long list of options. I didn’t have much time to look for a cake design so just sent over a photo of a cake that I quickly googled. They were able to create it, and even better, they added a customized cake topper with my daughter’s name. They also delivered it to the venue which was very important to me since I didn’t want to deal with picking up a big cake from a bakery and making sure it didn’t get ruined during an already busy day. At the party they provided us with a “coffee bar” serving up a variety of flavored hot and iced coffee & chai. The guests loved this! Many drove from far so a coffee option was exactly what the needed upon arrival. The onsite team was great, arrived early to setup, and went above and beyond by lending me a cake stand and having ice delivered for us when we were unable to get any because it happened to be sold out everywhere near by. Overall great experience and would highly recommend them!“

“Nice coffee franchise with some tasty coffee. It was definitely a distinct flavor that I've never tasted before. I easily preferred this over Starbucks. Inside is cozy with plenty of seating. They do have a pretty good-looking food menu. Even though I prefer to support local, I will definitely be returning.“

“They are insanely generous with their toppings which most bubble tea spots in the area are not (gong cha in Montclair, kung fu tea in Montclair, cozy tea in cedar grove/verona border). Worth taking the drive to the mall just to grab a bubble tea from here.“
“Amazing cafe/coffee spot. 1) Inside is very cozy. Lots of couches with electric outlets. Unlike other places where you have to fight for couches and electric outlets, here it is abundant. 2) I really enjoyed the hot chocolate. It was very tasty. 3) The cafe/coffee spot is very clear and service was super quick.“

“Three and one half stars. I'll keep this short and sweet. Very friendly and attentive staff. Fast service. Clean shop. Decent bagels. Good basic coffee. If your preference is a light weight, low density bagel with no crust to speak of then you will love these. My personal preference is a dense, well done bagel with a slightly chewy crust. I will probably visit Caldwell bagels again if I am in the area. But I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.“

“Went here after dinner with my companion for a couple cups of coffee. She had a cappuccino and I just ordered a small cup of black coffee. She enjoyed hers, mine was ok. Service was friendly. Parking on a Sunday evening was ample but we had walked.“
“Occasionally, my SO and I, go for espresso and pastries. We usually go during the week, after lunch. The place is small, clean, cozy; the lady at the counter is always attentive and polite. We usually sit and enjoy the goodies. The pastries in this place are the closest to the ones in Italy. I should know being Italian and traveling to IT three times a year. Keep up the good work, Palazzone!“

“Defying Gravitea is a cute spot for breakfast, coffee/tea, or some little sweets. My mom and I stopped in early one morning and the owner Gina was super friendly and welcoming. The menu is entirely gluten/dairy free and as someone who is not gluten or dairy free, I believe the food was just as tasty, if not better! I had a pot of Rise + Glow tea and French toast. Will definitely be back!“
