“Just came for a quick coffee break and ended up loving this place! Quiet, clean, spacious, and aesthetic cafe. Delicious bakery items (recommend the raisin pastry and chocolate croissant!) and coffee. Really lovely service! Plus, they display the train schedule on a TV so it's perfect for chilling while you wait for your train. And pastries are 50% off past 4pm :)“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“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!“

“All of the menu's perfect“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Great company! We love the passion and drive they have to help their local community ♥“

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

“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!“

“Beautiful hidden gem! My latte was amazing and the atmosphere & vibe is out of this world! You’ve got to stop in today if you haven’t been yet! I got the salted honey latte with oat milk. It was such a treat & then I enjoyed it in the library lounge. I also scored a pair of beautiful earrings from their gift shop 💛⭐️🌙✨⚡️“

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

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

“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.“

“Best pour over ever!!☕️☕️☕️🙂“

“Great selection and service!!“

“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“

“This is our favorite place… This is the side of meatballs and Ziti Norcina with homemade sausage. I have tried many different pasta dishes and love them all. It’s hard to choose when I get there. The service and staff are great. But the person that stands out to us, every time we go is Roy. He appreciates our business and is very friendly and outgoing. Every restaurant needs a Roy. Thanks, keep it up…“

“Finally, I hit this spot after getting a recommendation for years. Even though I'm not a fan of their hot chocolate, I'm satisfied with their pastries. Especially, the brownies are phenomenal and becoming my reason to revisit. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pictures of the brownies cuz I couldn't wait to have them right away lol... They are sold in 2 different packs (4 full ones and 6 half ones)“

“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 :)

“Shoutout to Lightbulb Coffee Shop! Awesome Iced Coffee with oat milk and a Dirty Chai! We will be back!!“

“Personally I like there iced teas better than there coffees but I’m picky when it comes to coffee but there breakfast and treats are phenomenal so so good hands down must try the beignets“

“This little mom-and-pop coffee shop is such a cozy gem! The iced coffee is absolutely delicious—smooth, and perfectly done—but it’s the atmosphere that really makes it special. It gives off that laid-back, lounge-with-a-book kind of vibe, with ceramic painting in the back (so cute!) and a few board games scattered around. Whether you’re coming for brunch, bringing the kids, or planning a low-key date, it’s the kind of place that feels warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Dear Able Baker I heart you , staff always super friendly, best cookies I’ve ever had ❤️🤗“

“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.“

“This deli is by far the most consistent and BEST deli around ! It makes living in town a dream come true now that it’s down the street ! Ps. Try the chicken cutlets! That are amazing !!“

“I went to this place yesterday, food was amazing, staff was kind and friendly. I would definitely return if I am in this area again.

“This is the second time I have visited and will definitely return it’s a great place with amazing food and atmosphere!“

“Was looking for local cafés & decided to come and check this place out after seeing the positive reviews. The owner and his daughter are so welcoming and kind! I love the layout here, there’s outdoor seating, a wide selection of flavors for drinks, free books, and I also happened to stop in on a day where they had live music! Family owned & LGBTQ+ friendly, the atmosphere was very comfortable. I got a lavender matcha latte & It was great. Love the experience, love the vibe!“

“Ah - high quality coffee made for individuals. Never a bad cup of coffee... each personally made to your instructions. Or if you're like me - just let the Barista do his thing - he's never steered me wrong.“
