If you'd told my (much) younger self that eventually my Saturday afternoons would consist of doing…read more'domesticated' things like candle making instead of stumbling around NYC causing all sorts of shenanigans... well, there would've been a brouhaha, to say the least. I surprised the Mrs. on Valentine's Day and we had a scent-sational time here. It's set-up 'buffet style' - starting at one end of the room and you slowly make your way down a wall with an absurd amount of options for what catches your nose, then a section with various options (sizes/styles) for the container to house your eventual candle. Back to the 'bar' to start working on your candle (with the help of the amazing staff) and before you know it... you're done. (Well, you have to come back at a later time to get the finished product.) The 'activity' was slated for one full hour but within 30 minutes almost everyone was done and left. (We were the only couple imbibing - so we were there pretty close to the full 60 minutes.) I can't say enough good things about the crew behind the counter - ebullient to the nth degree. The shop looks amazing, the candle (I got to pick it up a week later) is great and most importantly: I got brownie points with the Mrs. for the unique and memorable experience. A bit on the pricy side but wick-ed fun, for sure. (If you know Montclair and this area specifically... parking can be a challenge.)

It was 5 degrees outside and I needed a place to chill for an hour while I waited for a friend…read more Lit Cafe was close by and looked really nice so I headed inside. Lit Cafe's name has a double meaning that I appreciated. The obvious meaning aside, the "Lit" also refers to many items for sale on several shelves distributed throughout the cafe. These items range from reusable cups to cocktail infusions to special jam from the MET. This gives it an air of being more than just a cafe but also a place of culture. The interior of the cafe is beautiful. Light wood, beautiful sunlight pouring in from the large windows running along one side and gentle lighting that instantly made me feel comfortable and welcome. I ordered a Dirty Chai and a scone. The staff was super nice and efficient. After my items were ready I headed to sit down and chill. I was really surprised that after about a half hour the staff didn't try to rush me but to be fair, there was plenty of seating that early in the am so I was able to spend about 45 minutes there (to be fair, it took me about a half hour to finish my scone and drink). Also points to the cafe for playing super chill music that created a great vibe and a volume that didn't make my skull rattle. Also, while I did not use it I am pretty sure I saw another customer using a rest room so I think there is one for customers (but you may want to double check for yourself if you visit). I loved my visit to Lit Cafe and look forward to going back during my next visit to Montclair!

Ordered: Vanilla Latte (~$6)…read moreCarrot Cake Slice (~$5) Aya's take: Tucked away on beautiful Church Street, Lit Cafe is a minimalistic cafe with a clean aesthetic and classy interior. There's a few tables and can probably seat 10 people comfortably. They were out of lavender so I opted for the Vanilla Latte. It was creamy (almost fluffy), the espresso was bold and balanced, and the latte was soothing and lightly sweet. I also got the Carrot Cake Slice which was a good try but didn't stand out. Sadly, I was not served in one of their cute cups; mine just had a sticker on it (not sure why since they did have them). Nonetheless, good try and I'd come back if I'm back in Montclair.

A few years ago, i was exploring Montclair and I came across this store. The door was unlocked and…read moresaw a open sign on the window.

Mind u this was my first time in Montclair, this memory forever makes me not want to step foot in this shop. Just the bad vibe i got from this man:/.

So, this is not something I do often, but I recently lost someone very close to me and wanted to make sure they were in a better place. Drew communicated with this person so well that I literally felt like I was having a conversation with them, through him. When he relayed the person's answers, it was with the same expressions they used, and the same topics we discussed when they were alive. The level of accuracy was astounding, and the whole experience was very cathartic for me. It was the closure I was seeking, and I couldn't wait to jump on Yelp and recommend him to others!

I could not stop smiling the entire session. It was as if he knew exactly who the people were as we were discussing them.

Within a few days, I received validation for his reading after an important meeting with my higher up about future business within my company... When Drew would ask me questions based on what he was writing, it would blow my mind like how did he know? Well it doesn't matter the HOW, because the WHY is - he is truly gifted. I not only recommend a session- I'll be back again in the future when the right time reveals itself.
