This place is a true hidden gem. It's tucked behind a tiny plaza, and if you didn't know it was…read morethere, you'd drive right past it, which would be a personal loss, honestly. From the moment you step into the enclosed entrance, the vibe is calm, cozy, and immediately promising. You can tell it's designed for outdoor seating when the weather's nice, but even during the colder months, it holds up. The menu has a solid selection with seasonal drinks mixed in, so there's always something new to try instead of defaulting to the same order every time. Shoutout to the merch by the register because it's genuinely funny and dangerously tempting. I showed restraint. Barely. The seating area is where this place really shines. There are plenty of options, great natural light streaming in through the windows, and just the right amount of quiet. It's perfect for getting work done, catching up with a friend, or simply sitting there enjoying the peace like the responsible adult you pretend to be. All around, a great spot with an easy, welcoming vibe. Already looking forward to coming back, especially when it's warm enough to see what the outdoor seating is all about.

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered the Sandy - chai with maple spice foam and I got it hot. Boy, did this hit the spot! I also got a chickpea blonde which was sensational. I was so pleased with both that I plan on becoming a regular. The price was $15 with tip for both which seems to be the standard rate for things nowadays. They have a nice drink menu with a decent selection. The store has a nice selection of stickers, cards, and other adorable take homes. I will be back here and highly recommend!

I've been working in Montclair for almost two years, and I can't believe I only just discovered…read morethis place. So far, I have visited twice, both times at 4-5 pm on a weekday. The staff is friendly, and there is ample seating. Also, I love the natural lighting and plants! I've ordered the maple latte and lemon poppyseed muffin, and they're both delicious. I highly recommend this spot as a quiet place to do work. (Bonus points that there is a spacious parking lot!)

It wasn't too milky to where I couldn't taste the hazelnut flavor. 5/5 stars for this matcha. I stopped in on a Saturday night around 8:30. It's a smaller cafe and there were a decent amount of people dining, but there was still enough space for me to sit. The ambiance is very warm and cozy, great spot for getting work done. I did spot some outlets as well, which is always convenient :)

The person who helped us was very nice, and very quick with getting our order out. I do want to point out that they have a minimum spend of $10 in order to use your credit card, so, if you're only looking for some tea, like myself, make sure you have some cash on you!

The latte was well-made and I could tell the staff seem well-versed on the world of coffee and pulling a proper espresso shot. The Lavender was slightly bitter which made this a bit less enjoyable but the espresso was balanced and the drink was smooth. I think I would stick to hot drinks if I find myself back here as that seems to be more of their skill. Good try!

Pastries were great as well. Has some seating with tables, great for working on your laptop Has a table with kids magazines and books Cons: Service is kind of icy, not the most friendly Parking in the area is tough and is paid - make sure you take a good look at parking rules that weren't well labeled

Their lattes are delicious and definitely give a try to their special "science" menu if you are into being surprised ! The croissants are not the best I've had in town, it would definitely be nice if they offer some salty items on the menu, but I understand that their focus is coffee.

I ordered the black bean burrito and an iced latte. It took a while for my latte to come out, and I actually got sick from it soon after. The burrito itself was great, and some black burnt potatoes aside, the potatoes were delicious. Food aside, there were some bugs flying around our table, which was pretty unpleasant. Our server never checked on this, and we had to go up front to ask for the bill. I probably wouldn't come here again unless I was really hungry and I just wanted a quick bite.

This is a great spot for meeting up and catching up. There are lots of seating options and it feels spacious. When it's warm, they have outdoor seating. I elected for a seat near the window and was very content there. Service is always good here! I always get the same thing, a chai latte with oat milk and it never disappoints. They had some fall options which were very tempting. I wanted to get a baked good, but nothing looked that appealing. I can also see this being a good place for a coffee date as it's lively but not loud.

As a remote working I am always on the hunt for a space that is both aesthetically pleasing AND offers decent coffee. Prayers answered! Interior design is wonderful, space is bright, open and inviting-- offering a long table in back, corner nooks and a bunch of booths. Menu offers a variety of options- classics, inventive, and my favorite - iced monte Blanc (literally looks like a cocktail) shout out to Alejandro! They have some baked goods (gluten free) in a glass case and a fridge along the wall with a variety of drinks and so snacks. Price wise it's standard. The drink I like is $5.50 before tax. Quality is worth it. There's parking along Bloomfield and a few lots in town. They noted a block up towards the church had a lot for the Wilson building with around 50 spots. Wi-Fi is steady, and staff are friendly. As of 4/1 they're opening up the wellness side offering a dry sauna, and a cold plunge. They have some lockers in the back and you can book by the hour or future membership options. There's also a cool vault room you can book as a meeting room in the back. Sound wise it can get kind of loud so if you're looking to take calls I would aim to come off hours. If you're looking for a spot to dial into a project and switch up your surroundings- definitely swing by.
