Can't speak to the food but their latte is fantaaastic!! I got the Biscoff cookie butter latte with oat milk and WOW!! I was worried it would be too sweet but the espresso comes through beautifully with that nice graham cracker cinnamon flavor in the background. If I lived nearby I would get this all the time. The lady that helped me said their lavender white chocolate latte is her fave so I'd definitely try that next time. Inside is whimsy and cozy which I love. Fast service. Really glad I got a chance to try this place during my visit. read more

The cutest cafe! I only stopped in for a hot Matcha oat latte & I am glad that I did. The small but cozy space feels warm, spiritually protected & clean. I would definitely return when I'm back in the area. They offer a restroom along with a variety of eats & beverages. But no parking. And you do have to pay for street parking through an app service. Thank you for the pleasant experience this past Friday. read more

I have gone here a few times and leave underwhelmed. The crepes are not warm and last time they came out room temp and very hard. I try over and over to like this place but it just doesn't have delicious food leaving me wanting to come back. I will say their pastrami egg sandwich was good. But the food and crepes I really wish were done fresh instead of microwaved. read more

I was very excited to try out this small Turkish x French fusion cafe for brunch today since the ingredients on the menu is suppose to be high quality and wholesome. We expect to pay extras for any quality food, unfortunately this visit was disappointing. We arrived on a Sunday, around 10:30am. There are 5 tables, plenty of seating because no one dined in. This cafe requires you to order first and then pay (including an opt to tip even before receiving service). Which isn't a problem because we always tip. Turns out every item we ordered were more expensive than the prices listed on the menu. Pricing should not vary between customers, this is what helps build a great group of loyal customers. My husband ordered a crepe, with spinach and cheese fillings-flavor was not bad, and it definitely tastes like a Turkish spinach pie, except in crepe form. I ordered an avocado toast with a poached egg, but extremely disappointed they used Sabra's (or similar) avocado spread. No offense, but that's the same spread I buy from Costco. I don't see why I have to pay over $15 for a slice of bread with a mass market guacamole spread/dip. To be honest, all the avocado toasts that I've EVER ordered were made with fresh avocados , until today. The food was very mediocre, nothing special. Our waitress was friendly. Both of our drinks were $11 each, NOT worth the price in my opinion. NYC is know for high prices, and I can get the same sz juice with multiple in ingredients and great tasting too! The blueberry and banana smoothie was very runny, too watered down. So don't expect to order this as a meal. Be expected to pay $1 extra for almond milk. The green juice tasted like it only had spinach and cucumbers only, missing the ginger, apple, and lemon flavors (which are ingredients listing on the menu). I asked the waitress for a piece of lemon to add into my juice. The recipe could be definitely be improved. We also ordered two Turkish bagels, but didn't receive it until we were ready to leave. Plus, we had to wait longer for the bagels despite having to already dined in for almost 45 mins. And during the wait, the lady took two bagels out from the fridge and microwaved it for 1 minute. We told her we could've heated the bread up at home but she said the bread is currently under cooked so it needed extra time for "cooking." Probably better for us to visit a bakery for FRESH Turkish bagels. The bill for 2 ppl was $75 (this includes taxes) for a Sunday brunch at this cafe. I think you are better off going elsewhere, maybe a diner. read more

I really really wanted to like this spot but it didn't hit the mark. The service is great & the ambiance is quaint & welcoming, but the crepes were very disappointing. They were white, doughy, and lacking flavor. We ended up throwing them away unfortunately. For an $18 item (each) we expected a lot more... we won't be returning but maybe you'll have better luck! read more

The coffee is phenomenal. So far have tried the Pistachio, Oreo, Nutella, Biscoff lattes (iced and hot), all of which are amazing. Out of the myriad coffee shops/ cafes in Montclair that offer amazing specialty coffees, Fontaine's tastes so yummy without compromising coffee flavor. They also have out of this world crepes and a chicken sandwich that was delish. EDIT: I tried their pumpkin flavored coffee and it was amazing! So subtly tasty without that ultra-sugary "pumpkin" sweetener most PSLs have. This had nice seasonal cinnamon touch to it. The ambiance is cozy and fun, with funky artwork on the walls. It's a pleasant atmosphere. The lovely owner and staff are what sets this place apart. Highly recommend 10/10 read more

This is definitely one of my favorite cafés in Montclair, if not in the entire county. The food is admittedly a tad pricy, but very much worth it. I went here for lunch with my mother before shopping at the nearby used bookstore. The layout is intelligent and has a great contemporary French theme. There is also outdoor seating, which I would have used had it not been scorching hot outside. The owner is very kind and personable with customers, and you can catch her working in the dining area. I'm not sure why, but I like that a lot. We ordered the pineapple mango smoothie, a pistachio latté, the chicken chipotle sandwich, and a beef and lamb gyro-type sandwich (I forget the name). Everything was delicious. My smoothie was not overly sweet an tasted very fresh. The chicken sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have had in a very long time. The chicken was tender and the overall flavor combination was well thought-out. I was skeptical about the addition of guacamole, but it grew on me very quickly. The Turkish bread the sandwiches are served on is astonishing. My mother told the owner that she should considering selling the bread on its own - it was chewy with a satisfying and crispy crust. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her coffee and sandwich. Even though the food is somewhat pricy, the sandwiches are large and you can reasonably make two meals out of it. Add this onto the fact that everything is made-to-order, La Fontaine is a gem in a town with really good food. Even though I live a bit far from here, I am already planning my next trip. I highly recommend stopping by La Fontaine Café if you are in the Montclair area. It will be worth your while! read more

The small corner cafe was super cute. I bought a mango smoothie and a glass evil eye that was hand crafted in Turkey & the owner (I believe) told me that the it would bring me good luck. I drank my smoothie at the outdoor seating and was very happy with my experience there. read more

THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE I'VE EVER HAD! This is my favorite café in Montclair. I recently moved after living in Manhattan my whole life and La Fontaine is just the perfect touch of home. Everything on the menu is 100% delicious: because of the exceptionally high quality ingredients. Honestly, I've had hot chocolate all over the city and beyond and I'm always surprised how unsweet it is, how it tastes like dark chocolate and water. Finally I've found the yummiest hot chocolate of all time at La Fontaine! Try it! This place is a hidden gem! read more
