The coffee is good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Raw decor with wood benches and metal tables and chairs. There is different reclaimed wood and coffee bags on the walls. read more

Such a cute place fairly close to the main Montclair area! It's definitely not a sit-down place but rather a grab and go shop, but it is still very quaint. The barista was nice and quick with our order. We both got a caramel latte, one with almond milk and with regular one; they were both okay and definitely satisfied our coffee craving. Our total was 13.99 which seemed a bit much for two small coffees. I think it's a nice spot to have if you live nearby. read more

Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. - Hot Latte - Small - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Cute coffee shop in area with their own uniquely crafted signature drinks. Definitely look at their chalk board of specials. I got their Baby bi bi bi which is a vanilla matcha latte with vanilla cold foam and chocolate drizzle. I customized the drink to my liking and changed the vanilla cold foam for lavender cold foam and did it half sweet with soy milk. It was perfect to for my liking and the flavors went so well together. Probably one of the best lattes I have had! They also have day old pastries at the counter for $2 which is still very fresh. Great, chill atmosphere and heavily frequented by locals. read more

some of the best coffee and drinks i've had in this area! blueberry lemonade is soo bright and refreshing. coffees are well balanced without a hint of bitterness. the inside is deceivingly larger than it looks on the outside. great place to grab a bev and walk around! read more

Been here a few times, so decided to stop in again today, as it was cold, rainy, and dreary and I needed a coffee. This shop is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The interior is charming and inviting, and the staff are always pleasant, kind, and helpful. Relaxing music plays from the speakers, the smell of coffee permeates the air, and various baked goods are available for purchase. Patrons are also very friendly each time, given the inviting nature of the shop. I usually opt for the latte, which is consistently satisfying. It is never bitter, always smooth, and packed with deep, rich, flavor. Today was no different. For a laid-back, charming, place to grab a great coffee, you can't go wrong here. read more

I am so happy this little café exists. I had purchased a red "love child" baseball cap the first time I was ever at Java love in 2017-2018 along with an ice coffee I'm almost sure. Today I had an amazing matcha. The cutest little barista surprised me with the choice of milk (which I had asked her to do) and it was "amassssing." The vibes inside are super earthy and chill and it's located next to the cutest flower shop. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you for surprising me, I really needed that. read more

Java Love clearly has a good business model. They've expanded and are doing plenty well for themselves. Everything about the place centers around love. The decor, the drinks, the coffee. It's all love. That said, I'm not sure I was entirely sold on the vibe. I liked the coffee. I liked the goodies. I liked the specialties. Maybe someday I'll feel the love. read more

Needed some coffee while I was in NJ, and this place definitely hits the spot! I definitely missed local coffee shops like this and was amazed how delicious my drink was (iced mocha latte). Baristas were super helpful when I had questions, and their menu had so many different options. Would come back when I make my way to NJ again! read more

Music is wayy too loud. Should not be that loud. Customers should come first before the individual workers preferences on any given day. It makes no sense. Otherwise a wonderful place read more

Nice spot, good coffees and teas, friendly service. I had a business meeting there and it was very pleasant

Java love is fantastic!! i've tried a bunch of different drinks and they're all amazing. I love to sit and do work here or read. the experience is so seamless and I always appreciate the patience and friendliness of the staff. also obsessed with the creative seasonal drinks read more

This is always my go to tea spot when I'm in the area. I also love the loose leaf teas that they sell I always make sure to grab one whenever I'm there! They also have really good pastries. read more

The first time I had a latte here it was delicious The second time not so good, the barista kept checking the recipe on the board? So obviously not familiar with menu.. But I figured she new so I went back third time ..silly me to assume it would be like the first time.. It was not good. I won't go back .. Just wish the owners would train all baristas to learn the recipes for their coffee drinks, there are not that many.. Very disappointing read more

Top notch coffee spot! Super friendly kids working and lots of homegrown touches and comfortable welcoming decor that you hope for in an independent cafe. There was a great custom board of seasonal drinks I can't remember the name but I had the red eye, mocha, cayenne, cinnamon, and oat milk. IT WAS AMAZING. I wish I could have tried more. the chocolate chip scone was delicious as well. There was plenty of space inside for all the patrons to enjoy their drinks without feeling cramped or rushed. Nice part of town lots of things within walking distance but I will definitely be going out of my way to come back and try some of the other drinks. read more

Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. - a shelf of coffee roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

We drove an hour to come here and it was less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit out. We came on the pretense that they had prepared food and heated outdoor seating. When we got there, none of the heaters were turned on. We also found out that none of the NJ locations had prepared food, just pastries. So we were hungry but just decided to get lattes. We also decided not to get beans because there were no 'roasted by' dates on them. I had to tell the employee three different times that I wanted two lattes, one with almond milk and the other with oat milk. He first thought i wanted both almond, then both oat and then there was an understanding that it would be one of each. But when we got our order, it was two oat milk lattes, and somehow one of them was sweetened, even though I didn't order sweetened at all. We still drank them, as I'd prefer not to waste, but it was a bit of a mediocre experience. For the positive, the lattes were still quite good and service was friendly. read more

Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. - Two medium lattes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Love this place (Church Street), great coffee, great people, well managed (!!!), but their internet connectivity is very spotty, it's impossible to get any work done there . Would have been 5 stars!!! read more

My approval for a coffee spot rests on the basic cup of coffee. While many enjoy lattes and such, I always like to seek out a place that simply makes a good cup of joe. Java Love fits the bill. And of course, they have the fancier drinks too (and snacks). Located next to the 'someday reopening' Bellevue Theater, Java Love definitely has a specialty-neighborhood-coffee shop vibe going. Also, kudos for adjusting to Covid winter, making an effort to keep their outdoor customers comfortable with heating lamps and socially-distant chairs and benches. (The interior has seats, but it's takeout only at this time). read more

This coffee shop is located nearby many other local shops. They offer a variety of smoothies, coffee, refreshers and food. I highly recommend trying the smoothie criminal, it is refreshing and so creamy. read more

This place has great coffee and overnight oats. I haven't had a bad cup of coffee or matcha here. There's always a line of people in the morning waiting to get their order, but the line moves fast. read more

If you are looking for a quick cup of coffee, Java Love is the spot. I have had better coffee in Montclair but the staff are very nice and welcoming. read more

I tried this for the first time today and really loved the atmosphere. I had to get some work done and the music was a little loud, but that's easily remedied by using headphones. I ordered an extra hot gingerbread chai and the flavor was good and it was made very quickly which was nice, but it wasn't hot. If it had been, I would give 5 stars and will definitely give this place another chance in spite of that. read more

Best latte I've found in NJ so far! I ordered a whole milk plain latte. Not too strong, not too weak, not too hot! Nice art!

Delicious matcha latte with oatmilk, the vanilla latte also perfect!! Adorable vibe and polite barista!!! It's always great to support the local coffee place and this cute and warm shop is lovely!!!! read more

When traveling we always try different local coffee shops. This coffee shop is in a great location and was our favorite go to coffee shop when we were in New Jersey. We plan to go back the next time we are back in New Jersey. Really good lattes. My favorite was the quadruple shot large latte. read more

Love the coffee here. Staff is consistently friendly. Nice, casual environment for working or hanging out with friends.

Great coffee and customer service. Would recommend individually packaged straws. It's otherwise a health hazard, specially in the Covid era.

I love Java Love! I've been coming here occasionally for a few years now and it's always been a good experience. Nice people and good coffee is a win in my book. I love the creative/unique flavors they have- there's one right now called Oh My Love that's a mocha with strawberry syrup that's delicious. It's actually even better with raspberry syrup :) They've had this drink since Valentine's Day and it's currently April, thought it was a special for the holiday but I guess not! I hope they keep it. read more

I visited this coffee shop about a week ago, figured I would support a local business in Montclair when I observed a menu chalk board with Halloween themed names for various teas and coffees. One of these names was "Spook-Tea" and the tea just happened to be a Black tea. Now you can chalk this up to an oversight and coincidence no pun intended as this is a serious matter and extremely offensive but when I expressed my concern and frustration over a sign with a slur hanging in their store, the name wasn't immediately changed. Several other patrons voiced their concerns with me once they realized, but the folks at the counter said they couldn't make the change until the manager came in. I went into this store two more times in subsequent days to see if the corrections were made, it took 3 days but eventually the tea was changed to "Spooky-Tea" which I didn't have a problem with. I did notice at that time however that there was a sign at the register up that said "Kind People Matter" which to me felt like another slap in the face as many black people would find that to be an unnecessary trivilization of Black Lives Matter. I'll let future patrons decide the intent here but as a customer who supported this business many times over the years I'm saddened to see that they just don't get it. I was willing to overlook the first incident but this just feels like apathy and or a willingness to offend. At least that's how I was made to feel, and from what I gathered in my conversations with one batista, I wasn't the only person expressing similar feelings. read more

This coffee spot is so cute and perfect for college students. The baristas were so accommodating when I wanted to switch things up and my coffee was great. My daughter opted for an organic dairy free yogurt that I honestly thought she would hate (she's 2) but she damn near licked the container lol! I had a cream cheese croissant as well that was really tasty. Definitely recommend read more

Very cute little shop in beautiful montclair, new jersey. Cappuccino was very well made and their chocolate croissant was decent as well. Pretty small space which explains the tiny table tops which is hard to place a laptop and enjoy your coffee at the same time, but a decent spot regardless. read more

I wanted to support the local coffee shop yesterday and to my surprise my small iced mocha was $7.25. UHM??? Am I crazy or is this grossly over priced?? That's Montclair bbs! I want to know if this coffee is even sustainably sourced. Like what am I paying for? Serious question. I guess Dunkin it is my friends. read more

Despite my rating - There is one extremely RUDE & disgusting blonde female employee who works here who has a piss poor attitude. I have never been & felt so disrespected as a consumer until I had the "pleasure" of having her take my order.. Disregarding my previous statement however - the REST of the staff is actually so kind, sweet, eclectic & cool. This little coffee shop is cute. Java Love has great options in coffee. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself to be a coffee snob - but I am very particular about my tastes & likes in different roasts so idk you tell me lol. My favorite niche about this place is that in their "daily brew" menu they have the notes of the brews & coffees they have which is SO helpful to determine maybe what you might be in the mood for. My favorites in rotation are the Costa Rican Rio Negro & House Blend & a specific one that I can't quite remember unfortunately lol. When I have time before my morning clients & my commute I always make it my mission to stop by here & get a soothing cup of coffee to start my day (as long as that sour employee isn't working). read more

I didn't love Java Love. My Americano was weak and not that flavorful but the service was prompt and friendly, so that counts for something. They offer several baked goods, mostly vegan/gluten free, to no surprise. Not my jam personally, but it fits the Upper Montclair bill. read more

Helpful and kind service in a cozy atmosphere! The Tiramisutra Hot Cocoa is a must try!

Love, love,love! They named this place right! Coffee and cappuccino heaven...and that cherry-almond scone! Best scone ever, flatly, buttery...not the usual dry Scone and did I mention the flavor? Amazing blend of almond and cherry. read more

Wish I would've taken a picture of the vanilla coconut monut before we ate it! Delicious vegan and gluten free. What else can you ask for in a desert! Their signature cold brew w lemonade and elderberry was amazingly one of the best drinks I have ever had. Talk about an exotic drink!!! The perfect combination for someone who loves trying new things. Great and friendly staff. read more

Cool spot to hang and it has great coffee. More of a meet n greet place than a sit down n do work coffee spot. They offer healthy snacks, which is great, but they're pricey and what i had didn't taste so good. read more

Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. - Chia pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Java Love is my favorite spot for grab and go coffee in Montclair. They offer a wide variety of blends and special coffee drinks. One of my favorites is the "dirty grandma" chai. There were hints of cinnamon and nutmeg that gave it a sweet spice flavor. I also enjoy the "monuts" which is a muffin shape with a donut batter. I have tried the plain and also the Nutella. I would have liked to have a bit more Nutella filling in there though. The shop also has a good amount of space with seating to the side so if you wanted to sit, sip your brew, and hang out there is a nice ambiance to do so. read more

Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. - Monut! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Quality coffee at fair prices with an exceptionally friendly staff. This place is a small, independently owned coffee shop that is new to the area, and I'm a fan. The coffee is robust and flavorful with a fresh taste. The owner seemed delighted for our business and could not have been any friendlier, taking the time to explain all they had to offer. Keep in mind that this is a shop for coffee and pastries only. There is no hot food--at least not yet. They have a nice--though curious--arrangement with The Little Daisy Bake Shop just up the road on Valley. The Bake Shop provides many of the pastries sold at Java Love, while Java Love provides the coffee for the Bake Shop. Win-win as far as I'm concerned. We sampled several of the pastries and were impressed. They are offering their own roasted beans at about $15/lb, and they will grind it to your preference. Between the service, coffee, pastries and price, I'm certain to return. read more
