It's actually a hazelnut brown sugar latte which is a bit deceiving considering a banana syrup would've really taken this to the next level and would be more fitting to the name. Nonetheless, I really liked it. The banana cold foam did taste like banana and added a nice creaminess and sweetness to the drink. I also love their cups; they're the perfect shape! It was a beautiful day so we sat in their back patio area and enjoyed our drinks. Decent try!

This place has some good options, but it is more expensive than your average coffee shop. The first…read morething I noticed when I popped in was the menu was on a very fast rotation so that it was pretty difficult to read. I asked if they had a physical copy, which they did not. So even though they went digital only, they had no listed prices, which is annoying, especially if there was a line. It's just not the most ideal ordering experience. I did get a hazelnut frappe ($6.50) which was sweet and very thick. I was tempted and gave into a cinnamon role ($7.50) which they warmed up. Both were perfect sweet treats and didn't taste odd being vegan. The roll was huge. I probably shouldn't have gotten both because it was decadent, but they both rocked. There are a few chairs by the window, but there isn't a lot of space inside. The order did take a while to prepare, but it was interesting to try.

The staff is super cordial and accommodating, respecting your time and effort to be there.

I had to make adjustments to the time and amount of ppl to the reservation and she was very accommodating. We had an early dinner reservation elsewhere, so we didn't intend to eat there, but they started us off with menus, instead of flowers.

Then they brought out the "purse" vases and flowers. Justice was our server and flower instructor, and he did a great job in the duel role. We were all impressed with his floral knowledge and we all learned something new. The bathroom was clean this time, had tp and soap in the dispenser. The cute decor was the same except for the lil selfie booth which looked to have been updated for Vday and still up. Next door is their event space with lots of different selfie stations for a fee.

I'm giving Brick + Dough a five-star review because it's the best pizza place I've ever been to. The dough is perfectly chewy and crispy, the sauce is flavorful and fresh, and the cheese is gooey and delicious. I've tried both the regular and gluten-free pizzas, and they're both amazing. The gluten-free pizza is especially impressive, as it's hard to find a gluten-free pizza that's both tasty and satisfying. In addition to the great pizza, Jason, the owner, is incredibly friendly and welcoming. He's always happy to chat with customers and make recommendations. Chris the chef was also so friendly and talked to us about all of the food options. I highly recommend Brick + Dough to anyone looking for a great pizza experience. Here are some of the specific things I loved about Brick + Dough: The dough: It's the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. It's not too thick or too thin, and it has a great flavor. The sauce: It's flavorful and fresh. It's not too sweet or too acidic, and it has a nice balance of herbs and spices. The cheese: It's gooey and delicious. It's not too stringy or too dry, and it melts perfectly. The gluten-free pizza: It's amazing! I've never had a gluten-free pizza that was this good. It's just as flavorful and satisfying as a regular pizza. The service: Lorenzo was an amazing server, Chef Chris was super helpful, Jason, the owner, is incredibly friendly, welcoming and He's always happy to chat with customers and make recommendations. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Brick + Dough. The pizza was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great pizza experience. We will be returning soon. Can't wait for the Franklin Lakes location to open! Thanks again Jason! read more

Brick + Dough is hands down one of Montclair's hidden gems when it comes to pizza--and vibes. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with that cool, modern-meets-old-school vibe. The industrial-chic decor--exposed brick walls, Edison bulb lighting, and sleek wood finishes--creates a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere. There's a certain warmth to the space that makes it feel both trendy and timeless, perfect for a casual night or something a little more special. The highlight, of course, is the brick oven pizza, and let me tell you--it lives up to the hype. Each pizza comes out with that perfectly crisp, slightly charred crust that can only be achieved in a proper wood-fired oven. The dough is airy but substantial, with just the right amount of chew. You can taste the quality in every bite. What really sets Brick + Dough apart is the range of toppings--everything from classics like pepperoni and fresh basil to more inventive combos like hot honey, burrata, and even seasonal ingredients. It's the kind of menu that caters to everyone, whether you're a purist or looking to try something new. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell they genuinely enjoy working there, and they make the experience that much better. Whether you're asking for recommendations or making a special request, they're more than happy to help with a smile. Whether you're planning a date night or catching up with friends over a bottle of wine and a couple pies, Brick + Dough delivers. It hits that sweet spot between elevated dining and neighborhood comfort. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already--this place is the real deal. read more

Brick and Dough is hands down one of the best dining experiences around! From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole evening that much better. The food was incredible. The garlic knots were perfectly baked, soft on the inside with just the right amount of garlicky flavor, and the cheesy bread was indulgent, gooey, and absolutely addictive. But the star of the meal was the Summer in New Jersey pizza--fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and the balance of flavors was spot-on. Another huge plus is that it's BYOB, which makes it a fun and relaxed place to enjoy a night out with friends or family. Pairing your favorite bottle with their amazing food is such a win. Overall, Brick and Dough nails it--delicious food, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back! read more

Brick + Dough in Montclair is a solid go-to for wood-fired pizza with a lively yet cozy, homey feel. The visible brick oven gives the space a warm, inviting vibe that works just as well for date nights as it does for groups. The wood-fired pizza is definitely the star of the show. I've tried the Margherita, Mike's Dream, and the Penne pizza, and each one has been consistently good - high-quality crusts with creative, well balanced toppings. The appetizers are also worth ordering; the garlic knots, cheesy breadsticks, and arancini have all been great additions to the table. It's also nice that they offer a gluten-free pizza option. Overall, I've had a good experience every time I've been here. The food has been consistent, the service is good, and it's the kind of place you can count on when you're in the mood for quality pizza in Montclair. read more

Pizza Paradise Found! As a devoted pizza enthusiast, I'm constantly on the hunt for that perfect slice, and this place, recommended by my boyfriend, is an absolute winner! The pizza here is beyond words - light, airy, and downright delicious. The crust is a dream, perfectly fluffy and just the right amount of chewy. The meatballs and garlic knots were nothing short of amazing, complementing the pizza perfectly. Every bite felt like a taste of pizza heaven. I can't thank my boyfriend enough for the stellar recommendation. This place has earned a top spot on my list of go-to pizza joints. Without a doubt, I'll be coming back here again and again. If you're a pizza lover, this is a must-try - you won't be disappointed! Service was also spot on! read more

Worst experience ever!! The food is terrible although it appears to be good. The service is absolutely terrible, its like they don't care that your spending your hard earned money there and the food will represent that. On top of that it is disgusting in there, this is definitely an Uber Eats-type-of establishment, if you even want to waste the money that is. The pizza is the worst and disrespectful to the Jersey/New York area. The boss, Jason is also very rude and inconsiderate, how he ever became the boss of anything amazes me. If i could sum my experience up in one word it would be conspicuous. Terrible! read more
