One word... WOW. The…read moreCorner in Upper Montclair has that rare mom-and-pop feel that immediately makes you feel welcome. It's cozy, genuine, and the kind of place where you can tell there's a lot of love going into what comes out of the kitchen. And speaking of that kitchen--you can see it from pretty much every seat in the house. Watching several cooks navigate what looks like an incredibly tiny space is almost mesmerizing. Somehow, they move around each other seamlessly, and the best part? The food comes out FAST. My wife went with the hummus, and it was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. But the surprise star on the side was the salted dried kale chip--such a simple little addition, but ridiculously good. Then came my pancakes. Out of this world. Small in diameter, but super thick, with a beautifully crispy exterior giving way to an interior that was fluffy, light, and airy. I've tried making this style of pancake at home countless times, and I still have absolutely no idea how to get that texture. The syrup and berries were the perfect finishing touches. Everything just worked. I've made and had soooo many pancakes in my life, and this is easily top 3 best. The Corner is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left. I'll be dreaming about getting back to this Corner.

Unfortunately, something about it didn't sit right with my stomach, and the cheese tasted a little off to me. I also ordered a chai latte, but it was pretty plain. It mostly tasted like tea and milk rather than the spiced, flavorful chai I was expecting. Maybe the experience would have been different dining in, so I'd be open to trying them again and ordering something else next time.

The food was amazing! Everything came out temperature hot, every server paid attention to detail…read more They did not leave a empty plate on the table. The restaurant was very relaxing nice music wonderful for a Sunday brunch. I really wanted to try the "Sweet Tea" however the machine was down and I was not able to try it, that was disappointing. However the food portions did not disappoint. It's worth the try!

I've walked past this eatery for years saying I would go in soon. Finally I did!…read more We started with the corn bread and sodas, I had the pulled pork Mac and my partner had the chicken and waffles. We were very hungry and excited! The wait staff was fantastic in waiting on us as well as offering us a seat immediately upon entry. There were many servers on the floor, availing if anyone needed anything. We mentioned it was our first time, the quality of explanation of the menu lacked. We didn't really understand or enjoy what we ate. Think it's important to mention we are both black women from the American South. Maybe we ordered wrong (which I don't believe in but .... I'll digress) Maybe it was a bad day Maybe I'll try again!! We'll see.

This is a great spot to go because they have outdoor seating and I can eat with my dog in peace…read more I ordered the Cobb salad, which my fault but I should have asked for dressing on the side because it was definitely overdressed for my liking. The fries were nicely cooked and salted, but $8 was a lot for the amount given. $4 would have made more sense. And then yes, I'm even going to mention the iced tea. Because there are not very many restaurants I go to that offer a freshly brewed iced tea, which is one of my favorite drinks. It really makes the meal perfect and I appreciate a freshly brewed tea vs a canned one. Staff is nice and brought water for my dog too.

My daughter and I split the French toast which was excellent and the Eggs Benedict (with salmon instead of Canadian bacon) also excellent?! My grandson just had scrambled eggs with toast and potatoes. Now for the not so good?! Horrible acoustics!! It was soooo loud in the dining room that we had to yell at each other and repeat ourselves to understand each other?! The coffee was forty forevers coming to the table after we ordered....and then our meal as good as it was took forever to come out. A couple seated next to us came in after us but had their food and finished and were leaving when ours FINALLY came out of the kitchen :( IF we go again we will eat outside and only in good weather.

I've been coming to Toast for years and they never disappoint. Parking isn't the greatest but…read moreluckily it's toward the end of Bloomfield Ave so you can usually catch something on the street or on the next side street. Also, they don't take reservations which is a little bit of a bummer but today (Saturday 6/13 at 9:30 am) we were able to get a table for 5 adults and 2 children right away. The place has a cool vibe and an extensive menu. I got an iced vanilla latte, my sister got an iced french toast latte, and others got regular coffee. All selections were wonderful. As far as meals, the kids got the silver dollar pancakes and the french toast with a scrambled egg. They were also provided waters in plastic, lidded cups. No complaints from them. I personally got bananas foster French toast which was to die for. My mom got the two carrot cake pancakes which came with cream cheese icing and she loved them. My husband got the Southwest Breakfast bowl which was also a winner. If anything, he probably would've wanted an additional egg to have a little more liquid. My sister got the morning protein wrap and she liked that too. My brother in law is allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant so he opted for a build your own burger with onions and avocado. It came with nice crispy fries which we all were able to enjoy. Another winning experience at Toast!

However, you'll be waiting sometime for your food to come out and that took away from my experience. By the time the food came out, the ice in my drink was completely melted.

I have been meaning to try this restaurant for a while and I was no disappointed!…read more Started off with the kale salad which was light, snappy and refreshing. Really made me feel like I was starting things off healthy and can be forgiven for my next dishes. Up next was the bone marrow which was delightful, and the escargot was really delicious. We steamed onward with the sweet and spicy wings which I highly recommend. I could've just eaten plate after plate of those wings. To balance things, we had some sprouts and then rounded things out with the pork belly. As you can probably surmise, we had no space left for dessert. But that just means a second visit! Very minimalistic decor which I appreciated, clean lines. Wonderfully attentive and accommodating staff. Perfect date night spot.
