Restaurants near Upper Montclair

“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 loved the food and service here. Very delicious.”

“You get what you pay for, and Applegate is expensive, but the quality is great. I really enjoyed the seasalt caramel chunk. The primary reason for the 4 stars is that they really need an inexpensive little kid size even smaller than junior, because this is too pricey and the portions are too big for littler kids.”

“It's not as friendly as the one down in Lackawanna plaza. There not rude but they're just not inviting or happy acting I don't know it's just weird but I love Duncan.”

“The ambience is great our waiter Santiago is second to none. We had the chicharron and the Arroz Chaufa to share. The waiter had great recommendations the food was outstanding. The passion fruit juice was delicious. They also waived the cake and ice cream cost for my birthday. I loved it ?”

“Mauricio, From the moment we sat down, he was all smiles—happy, upbeat, and full of energy that made our whole table feel welcome. He wasn’t just friendly; he was genuinely fun, cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone (especially the kids!) felt special.

He knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations—especially for the appetizers. You could tell he really cared about making sure we enjoyed the best of what the place had to offer.

It’s rare to find someone who’s not just doing their job but clearly loves it. Our meal was great, but the service truly made it memorable. If you get the chance, ask for him—you’ll be glad you did!”

Open sitting arrangement outside as well. If all 4 booths are occupied then you have to wait and waiting area has only 1 couple seat, more than 2 persons have to wait outside.”

“We stopped by this café for a Saturday morning breakfast. The exterior was charming, which drew us in. Parking is street-only, so it can be tricky on busier days, but we lucked out.

I ordered a cortado—decent, nothing remarkable. I went with the avocado toast, which they’re apparently known for. It was as minimalist as it gets: a slice of ciabatta, olive oil, a generous amount of fresh avocado, salt, and pepper. No frills, but solid and satisfying. My friend had a multigrain croissant with sausage and egg—basic and hearty.

The café is mostly self-service, and while the vibe was relaxed, the service was quite slow. We even cleared our own table from the previous guests. It seemed a bit understaffed, but the food was fresh and filling. A cute local spot, though don’t expect speed or polish.”

“Went for a school trip for the seniors. Was also my first time going to this place. I heard so many things about the experience so I was ready to see how it was. Was pouring rain outside. Building looked nice and the staff were mostly friendly. Manager I spoke to regarding a seat was awesome and patient. Atmosphere was comforting and fun. The show was much quicker than we all expected. Only real gripe I had was the food offering. Not sure if it had changed over the years from what others told me, but for the price of tickets, I would think a bit more should be offered.

If you like fantasy and just want a unique experience, give this place a try.”

“If you're looking for the best Koobideh kebab in New Jersey and New York, Zaffron Bloom is the place to go. Every time I visit, I'm amazed by the deliciousness of the food, especially their Tahdig. The Olivieh salad and Spanish yogurt are also quite tasty. Since it's a family-run business, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. I love this place and highly recommend their kebabs!??”

“the services is wonderful, the food very delicious, I felt like in Egypt. I love it soooo much”
