If I ever stop by again im definitely getting those madeleines one more time!

I saw the good reviews so I was disappointed when I received my desserts. Most of the cake slices were around $7, but when I asked for a cheesecake or pistachio one, one slice was $13 which I found to be expensive so I did not get that one. My friends and I decided on 3 cakes: strawberry, Oreo, and chocolate. I don't think I will ever be returning - the cakes tasted old. The best way to describe it was a like it came from a chain supermarket - lacking flavor and not up to fresh quality. The only one that was edible was the chocolate slice. We felt so bad to have to throw away the other two cakes, but they were not good at all. It was a waste of money to pay so much for a slice and not eat it.

They have a pretty big space in a warming environment, which makes you want to stay to chitchat, work from there, or just sit with yourself and enjoy your beverage. I didn't get to try any of their pastries, but I definitely will give them a try next time I come!

Came here to try out the coffee and was pleasantly surprised to find out the coffee is Yemeni style. The coffee was incredibly fragrant, rich, and thick...definitely different than espresso, but in the best way possible. Overall, it was a really great experience. Even the desserts were a hit and paired perfectly with the drinks. Despite how busy it was, the atmosphere was still nice to sit and hang out in.

Plus, my husband is a fan of their dairy-free chocolate chip cookies, so the Montclair location is a late-night haunt. My dude sticks to his usual order, but I like to try out the limited recipes when they drop. My favorite so far has been Strawberry Shortcake Chip Crookie. Heads up, the crookies are really like muffins. Anytime I've gone inside the shop to pick-up, the people behind the counter are always friendly and have a good vibe. Love this sweets shop in Montclair!

Cookies this expensive should be a sin... Eating them should be a bigger sin... a sin that I'm…read morewilling to commit over and over again. Chip City is a franchise that specializes in baking cookies with a soft, gooey center. The Montclair location is on a busy main street. Street parking is difficult to find during peak hours. It's conveniently open until 1AM on weeknights and 3AM on weekends! When I walked in, I couldn't get over how cute and bright the store was. It's small with very limited seating. To whoever is in charge of the marketing, design, and logos... kudos to you! A very sweet and friendly employee answered all of my questions and helped me out. Since I came much later in the evening, I was worried there wouldn't be that many cookies available, but I was wrong. There were plenty AND they were still fresh too! They offer classic flavors as well as seasonal and specialty ones. Flavors are rotated weekly and you can check the website for the line-up. Dairy free options are available. There's a ton of creative flavors, so don't miss out! In addition to regular cookies, they also sell crookies (croissant/cookie hybrid), cretzels (croissant/pretzel/cookie hybrid), ice cream, and merchandise! Each cookie is around $5+, but trust me... they are dense, large, and can be shared with other people. Did I want to buy 4? Yes... but I have self control (sometimes) LOL, so I stuck with buying a classic Cookies N' Cream. It has a buttery sugar cookie base loaded with crushed chocolate cookie sandwiches and creamy white chocolate - basically tastes like an Oreo milkshake! What I love about these cookies is that they don't just taste like a giant blob of sugar. You can actually appreciate and distinguish between the different flavors and ingredients. If you prefer crispy/crunchy cookies, you probably won't be a fan. If you enjoy cookies with a slightly crunchy exterior, but a soft, warm, ooey, gooey (almost raw-like) interior, Chip City is for you! Every bite is sweet & decadent, but not overwhelming. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program to get discounts and freebies! GET GOOEY!!!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip…read more If you are a chocolate lover, get this. Most times it's difficult for me to pick a flavor because I want it all, but thanks to the gentleman that helped me select this flavor that evening... 'twas the perfect decadent treat after a very long day. I love the location. It's cute and quaint but can use some sweeping and table wiping though. The chocolate chocolate chip was creamy and rich!

Ordered: Junior Scoop (~$5): Banana Oreo…read more Aya's take: We stopped by for a quick dessert after dinner and upon entering, I was surprised with how spacious this place is. Plenty of seating and great for hot summer days! I was pretty full and was happy they have a Junior Scoop option. I immediately gravitated to the Banana Oreo flavor which had real banana flavor (not the artificial Laffy Taffy type) along with the Oreos which meshed some rich, smooth, and slightly buttery flavors. I can tell it wasn't as fresh but overall, it was decent especially for the price. Good try; I would try their gelatos next time!

We always love to stop into Cafe Giotto whenever possible…read more Indoor/ outdoor seating with a new addition to the indoor seating space since we noticed. Usually, we tend to take out as I did today, or sit outside at the tables too. It's always a special treat- fav dishes -bolognese lasagna and rice balls. On other visits, we also loveeee the gnocchi. Staff are always super nice, helpful, and friendly. We will definitely come back soon on our next trip to Montclair. Yum.

***3 1/2 stars***…read more Yesterday I decided on a total whim to just grab lunch here before seeing Disclosure Day across the street. I've walked by a gazillion times, usually in the mid-afternoon or evening when the place is really jumping (at least based on the outdoor seating situation). This time around, I came for an early lunch around 11:30am when there were only a few other people sitting down and I had my pick of indoor or outdoor seating. I didn't get much of a look at the interior during my brief trip inside, but it seemed pleasant enough. Morally I didn't have much of a choice though but to sit outside at their communal picnic tables, given that it was sunny and 72. You do the math. As most of my solo eating adventures go, the service was excellent. It definitely helped that it wasn't busy, but both waitresses on the premises were super attentive and I ordered my meal literally within 30 seconds of sitting down. I wasn't on a hardcore schedule (my movie wasn't for an hour and 15 minutes) but I was in and out in probably 20-25 minutes, which is just wild for a legit sit-down meal. Top marks all around. I liked that they kept a bottle of tap at my table too; just efficient there. As soon as I saw gnocchi on the menu, my decision was made. I went with the gnocchi al pomodoro off the lunch entree menu, which was honestly just okay. This is usually a dish I really enjoy, and while it was clearly fresh (the chunks of mozzy are a nice touch) it was pretty bland and tasteless. It's extremely rare for me to look around for seasoning, but I did here (and didn't see any within range, so let it go). Honestly very surprising. The gnocchi itself was fine, but the pieces were so small it was actually difficult to eat/get them onto the fork tines. I had to scoop most of them up, and it was a slow process. Not the biggest deal in the world (the gnocchi was tasty in and of itself) but just a slight annoyance. The price point was fine; with tip, I paid a little over $20, which is on par for Montclair. Maybe it was just an off day/lunch, but I think the play is to come back for dinner with a bottle of wine and get a different dish. This place is very popular (during my brief meal, several people walked by openly declaring they were going to stop by later to eat) so perhaps a few grains of salt here, which would have been nice to add to my dish.

The only word I can use to describe this ice cream is ASTONISHING!…read moreI had tried rolled ice cream before but hadn't found a place in NJ that served it, not that I moved to Montclair, I came across this place and had to try it - let me tell you, it did not disappoint!! The ice cream is $8.50 no matter what flavor you get, and it includes as many toppings as you want - which to me seems like a fantastic deal. I got the "Me Want Cookie" ice cream with fudge and pretzels ... and WOW! The way they mix the ice cream just enhances the oreo flavor but without taking away from the sweet cream they use. The place has tables and a "bar" for people to sit on, as well as some outside seating. The people who served us were really nice and got us our ice cream pretty quickly despite the place being packed. This is now my favorite ice cream place in town!
