    customers in a coffee shop
    Ethan Z.

    This was our first stop on our trip to visit my friends in New Jersey and it was great. I needed a little pick me up and this was located in Montclair Center which is about 10 minutes from were we were staying. I ordered a large latte with almond milk and their homemade Lavender Syrup and it was amazing! This place was awesome - it has juices, fresh baked good and obviously amazing coffee! It also has great seating both indoor and outdoor if I am remembering correctly!

    best coffee in Montclair! They make a mean vanilla oat milk latte. I love that they also have vegan baked goods :)

    Local knows coffee! From the last gram to the perfect temp- Perfection with a healthy blend of human interaction and great conversation. Arguably the best shop I've visited, including domestic and international travels down to my home city, NYC (sorry NY). If you like a little spice, ask about the Funktado! Thank you Robert for your hospitality and sharing your passion. I'll be making the 30min commute for more visits. Local is Quality!! Cheers

    Great place to walk in and get some work done. Oh, they also make great Soy Latte's!

    UM, this place is delicious! Small, cute, and quaint too. I ordered the steak sandwich with a salad…read moreand whew -- so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and super filling. The steak was tender, the bread was fresh, and everything worked together so well. Other items at our table included the kids' grilled cheese (simple but done right -- crispy on the outside, v gooey on the inside), the hot chicken sandwich (great crunch with just the right kick of heat), and a matcha that was smooth and not overly sweet. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Stopped by around 11:30 on a rainy Sunday. Totally packed house…read more Once you order at the counter you can choose to dine in or take out. Variety of tables and a few stools by the window. Friendly staff mostly teenagers and college aged students. Menu wise it offered a great variety and not too pricey in addition to a number of baked goods both savory and sweet. Quinoa kale bowl (2/4) great portion but flavor wise would say it was lacking for sure. Filling and healthy. Chicken schnitzel (5/5) great crispy chicken and batter to chicken ratio was perfect. Piping hot upon serving and yummy side salad with fries for $4 + Marcel Shakshuka (5/5) great flavor and decent portion with a proper amount of pita bread on the side. The focaccia shakshuka was pretty filling and a perfectly cooked runny egg on top. Very bold flavors may be a bit much along personally would just share as a little app. Parking nearby- lot and street parking. Looks like they have a few seats in front on nice days as well.

My go-to coffee is usually black and nothing else. Instead I opted to try their "Hot Chai latte"and a choice of oat milk, half/half and milk and other options. I went with the half/half and It was absolutely delicious. Groundwork's Cafe is just the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself with their many food and drink options. The energy and vibe is exactly what I like to surround myself in. The cafe is extremely clean all around!!!! The staff members are beyond friendly and welcoming. There's off street meter parking and town meter parking lots within a short walking distance. What I ordered: Hot chai latte Chicken Colombian empanadas A small cup of Tomato Soup I LOVED IT ALL!

Walking in was inviting considering the decor and how comfy everything looked. Their menu had an extensive drink option and even included frozen yogurt which I was shocked by. I tried their empanada and beef patty, they did not disappoint with the flavor and how fresh they were. The service was divine as well. The girl behind the counter was sweet and offered her opinion on a few things.
