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.

Hot Latte - Small
Grace Nicole C.

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.

Curious George Latte

Hi! I've been here a couple times these past 2 weeks and it's been great service and coffee up until this last time I went. I'm writing this review so they are aware and not out of any mal intent! I got the "curious george" latte and it tasted sour. But not only that my friend also had let me know prior that the coffee here tasted sour and I thought she was crazy because those other times I got my coffee it was great. Just something their team should be aware of to improve!

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.

Iced Matcha
Mary E K.

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.

Mocha Latte
Meg S.

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!

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.

Best coffee by far near Upper Montclair Station. Shorter lines and much better coffee than Starbucks

Super cute place. Wish I met the French Dad lol the staff was nice and helped me make my first…read morepicks. The croissant was divine. I specifically came in because everyone speaks about the croissant. I also left with a ciabata. I need to come back for the sweet pastries!

Le French Dad used to be the gold standard for authentic French pastries in Montclair, but since…read morethe business was sold, it has completely lost its charm. The drop in quality is staggering; the pastries are a shadow of what they used to be, and the premade items are lacking. On top of that, the quantities are smaller and the service has become incredibly slow and indifferent. It is heartbreaking to watch a once-exceptional bakery decline so rapidly. Save your time and money. Last Saturday morning around 8:15 I went, and it was closed. A week later, same time, nothing in grab and go, nothing in the two pastry cases, just some macarons, which I'm sure are bought from a distributor and must likely sitting there for weeks. Pastries, a handful of muffins, small quantity of croissant beignets, bread, very small quantities. If you wanted donuts from Montclair Bread, there were plenty of those. They don't even keep up their Instagram page nor their website. I used to live to see what seasonal treat they would dream up. Halloween & fall approaching, they have nothing seasonal. Whomever bought this once fantastic establishment, please sell it to someone that would bring it back to its full glory it once was.

Had dinner here a few weeks ago and WOW Montclair really is not giving up its title for best food…read morecity anytime soon. We're still slowly working our way through local spots, and Brick + Dough was highly recommended to us. We started with garlic knots, bread, and fries, and honestly... 10/10 across the board. Everything was SO good. The fries especially are still living rent free in my head. We then split three pizzas, all of which were seriously incredible. The perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and crust, just absolutely nailed. We ended the night with cookies and ice cream, and I can confidently say this place will be seeing me again very, very soon. It might even end up replacing our current go-to pizza spot...

We came here for a dinner date with some friends and their dog. They were able to accommodate us…read moreoutside to be able to have the dog with us, which was very nice as we always look for outdoor spaces to be able to bring our furry friends. The service was nice, especially because even though we were the only table sitting outside, they were consistently coming out to make sure we were doing OK and had everything we needed. We ordered some garlic knots, which were good, it just seemed a little bit pricey to charge for the marinara sauce separately, which was not really outstanding nor something special, so I would recommend you skip it. We also ordered the chicken vodka Parm pie which was very good. The chicken was very crispy and the pizza was still delicious the next day when we had the leftovers. One of her friends is allergic to gluten, so it was very nice that they were able to accommodate for her. I do wanna point out that we have been to many places that offer gluten-free options and this is the first one I've been to that does charge you extra to make a gluten-free. In terms of price, it is very similar to the other places in Montclair but they do provide very good service and the ambience both outside and inside is very nice.

During my visit, I experience good customer service; employees are kind and helpful with navigating…read morethe menu. The Lentil Soup is a calm soup, not too salty, not too spicy, carrying natural lentil bean flavors, earthy and warm. The Naan is soft, savory, and like a tender fluffy pita bread with light seasoning. Aside from the meal, I think double checking utensils is so important in kitchen environments (where utensils are put to re-use). Thanks for being patient and understanding with my request to change spoons (the first time, in the photo, due to a food like stain, and the second time due to a dry dishwasher soap/milk like stain). Also, I think, if possible, replacing the fogging/smog-stainful-looking plastic like cups (for free water) with paper-like cups or by way of glass cups and metal-like pitchers may contribute to the eatery's ambience well. Down-to-earth vibes. The eatery has indoor and outdoor seating. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

Stopped at Sweet Kitchen one evening after having dinner across the street. They have indoor…read moreseating, as well as some outdoor seating. There was a lack of friendly service. 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.
