    My favorite coffee shop in Montclair and such a cute spot. LOVE the aesthetic. I've been a few times and every coffee I've had has been excellent...smooth, flavorful, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. It's a great place to catch up with a friend or get some work done, and the staff is always friendly. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots in Montclair.

    Amazing coffee and vibes. They were pretty crowded when I popped in on a random weekday at 11, and I can absolutely see why. The decor is charming and thoughtful and the airplane seats are such a fun touch. Drink selection is massive and way above and beyond the classics. The iced mint eastwood was really tasty and so photogenic. Pro-tip is to take the photo before you swirl it up! They also sell merch and you can even buy a jug of coffee to take home, which I probably should have done. Next time!

    If you love coffee gotta give this place a try. Tried 3 different ones today. Root beer draft cold brew was delicious, didn't even need milk! The red white and boom had pop rocks in it! Who would've thought really cool drink, and Mel got the mint Eastwood which was delicious as well.

    I love trying local cafes and paper plane did not disappoint! I had a matcha with lavender milk and maple syrup it was delicious and gone within five? Ten? Minutes maybe. I also tried the culto di brownie and it was absolutely delicious! I loved how clean the ingredients were. Service was ok. It was our first time there and the person who took my order seemed to be in a rush to take my order. Love the laid back ambience and those seats that resemble a plane?! LOVE it. I hope to be back to get the whole Paper Plane Coffee experience one day despite feeling rushed to order.

    Paper Planes Co in Montclair is sooo good The vibes are everything -- super cute, cozy, and perfect for catching up or getting some work done. The drinks were really good and you can tell they put care into everything. Definitely one of those spots you'll keep going back to. Only thing is it can get a little busy, but honestly worth it.

    I finally made it to the Paper Plane Cafe and it was enjoyable....and unique. The cafe has a very cool section, where customers could sit as if they were sitting on a plane. Of course, these seats are always occupied, but if you're patient, you'll have your chance to enjoy it and take your Instagram pics. I ordered a Mocha Latte and it was very good. I enjoy when coffee doesn't need to cool down for an hour and this one was perfect. I also enjoyed the hint of cinnamon, as well. I also spoke to the owner. He mentioned how the cafe will be expanding and showed me the upcoming new area. I look forward to returning and enjoying the new space. If you're a gamer, the cafe also has a Super Nintendo station to help with your relaxation time. I commend the Paper Plane Coffee Co. for their ingenuity with the theme of this cafe and is highly recommended.

    This is the cutest cafe with the most amazing airplane-inspired seating concept!! I ordered their hot YuenYueng (oolong tea, cold brew, and sweetened condensed milk). I really tasted every ingredient and was pleasantly surprised with how well they tasted together. I was torn between a few things on their menu though because everything they offer sounds delicious! Service was really quick but friendly. Parking was easy because I went on a Sunday afternoon, but I'd imagine it may be difficult to find street parking here depending on when you go.

    I'll join the other Yelpers to say that Paper Plane has something special going on. Their beans are pretty strong in a good way- I got their half decaf iced Mayan latte and I am feeling the effects hours later! Strong and slightly on the sweeter side but still a great cup. Interior is modern and airplane themed on one side. They have an array of drinks to choose from - teas to pour overs to lattes and the classic drinks. Menu is a great read- they have descriptions of their beans. Service was good, the baristas had friendlier smiles although harried. A steady stream of customers is always a good sign! Street parking, parking garages, credit cards and Apple Pay, cash.

    Beautiful ambiance Love the aviation theme Very cute shop & when you walk in it shows a newspaper article from 2023 saying top 45 coffee shops in NJ Lived up to the hype- got their hot banana latte & AMAZING!

    Daddy & Daughter enjoying our favorite Paper Plane cold brew coffee on Sunday  Such a cool atmosphere and welcoming staff.

    I don't know what I enjoy more, the variety of coffee or the decor of the airplane seats . However, the wonderful staff encourages you to sample other flavors to expand your pallet. Let's Go

    Ice latte
    Rose C.

    I've seen videos of this place on social media so I decided to finally check it out. It has a very cute theme and it simulates the feeling of being at an airport. I got an ice latte and an almond croissant. The ice latte was good and I loved how big my croissant was. The menu also had a lot of cool non caffeinated drinks available which i thought was cool. I came to get some work done since I heard they had free wifi and plenty of wifi. The space is kind of small. It gives me the impression that its more take out rather than dine in. I sat at the area with the faux windows seats and airplane like seats. The seats were comfortable but the table is kind of tiny so you can't have too many items. Plus there are only 6 of those seats and 3 regular tables with regular chairs so once those are taken, there isn't anywhere else to sit so keep that in mind. There is a unisex restroom with really nice decor. They had a painting in there that I loved (see photo). There is only street metered parking so be aware of that.

    Mayan Latte good to the last sip!

    They expanded their shop and it was still full of people enjoying some creative & tasty coffees. They do pour overs presented beautifully if you enjoy it there in which case you don't need to use a disposable cup. And if you're lucky enough to have the owner taking your order, she can help you move beyond the usual coffees to some of their especially interesting ones after asking a few pointed questions. Since I was a chocolate lover she recommended the Mayan for me. She also helped our other guest pick the best pour over for her. And the Matcha latte was very rich we could add more filtered hot water on hand to freshen it up. (Appreciate the filtered cold water too.) Even my my latte design lasted till the bottom of the cup; i'll post the midway photo Everything has a feeling of being lovingly and generously made with a women owned touch. It's long past the season to shop local. Get your coffee here!

    Ask the Community - Paper Plane Coffee

    Bagels made here or where?

    Hey Will, we do not make bagels here. But, there are a few really good bagel places within walking distance. We are specialty coffee roasters

    Are you offering indoor seating at this time?

    Unfortunately no. Our space inside is only big enough for our ordering window, market, and production. We are expanding next door to reopen indoor seating though. Should be ready in a few weeks. We currently have seats available outside

    Does their outdoor seating have umbrellas?

    We do not have umbrellas, but that's mainly because our sidewalk doesn't get direct sunlight for most of the day. It's usually pretty shady and nice

    This place has some good options, but it is more expensive than your average coffee shop. The first…read morething I noticed when I popped in was the menu was on a very fast rotation so that it was pretty difficult to read. I asked if they had a physical copy, which they did not. So even though they went digital only, they had no listed prices, which is annoying, especially if there was a line. It's just not the most ideal ordering experience. I did get a hazelnut frappe ($6.50) which was sweet and very thick. I was tempted and gave into a cinnamon role ($7.50) which they warmed up. Both were perfect sweet treats and didn't taste odd being vegan. The roll was huge. I probably shouldn't have gotten both because it was decadent, but they both rocked. There are a few chairs by the window, but there isn't a lot of space inside. The order did take a while to prepare, but it was interesting to try.

It's angled on a the corner of Broad and Belleville (which is cool bc of how it's situated) and when you walk in you know you're stepping a bit back in time bc some of the original features of the building are still evident which makes for a warm welcome. There's plenty of seating available if you want to stay and people watch out the window or post up and do a little work with a cushioned window seat and table. I didn't even realize they were vegan until the wonderful woman stated it as I inquired about the dairy choices (so this was my first time having a vegan iced coffee). I went with the Crème Brûlée iced with oat milk and it HIT! It was seriously one of the most delicious iced coffees I've ever had (& I drink a lot of iced coffee). I will certainly be back to support this business and I need everyone else to pay them a visit too bc they should have a lot more foot traffic on a Wednesday morning.

I had to make adjustments to the time and amount of ppl to the reservation and she was very accommodating. We had an early dinner reservation elsewhere, so we didn't intend to eat there, but they started us off with menus, instead of flowers. So we just ordered a mocktail tower and some of their lemon pepper chicken to nosh on. The drinks were a bit too sweet for us, but cute presentation, and the chicken was good. Then they brought out the "purse" vases and flowers. Justice was our server and flower instructor, and he did a great job in the duel role. We were all impressed with his floral knowledge and we all learned something new. The bathroom was clean this time, had tp and soap in the dispenser. The cute decor was the same except for the lil selfie booth which looked to have been updated for Vday and still up. Next door is their event space with lots of different selfie stations for a fee. I really enjoyed this 2nd visit and would return.

Food was dry and overpriced, then they changed more than what the menu says. We had reservations and our table wasn't ready when we arrived, we were moved twice to two different areas. We waited 30+ minutes for our food. Got the food and some orders were wrong. We ordered the flower bouquet option and winded up just taking it home because we were over the whole "experience". My overall experience was not good at all.

Unfortunately, I encountered a severe lack of professionalism and legal compliance from leadership. Immediately upon entering, the barista nicely notified me that dogs were not allowed. I politely explained that he is a trained service animal and asked if I needed to speak with a manager. The barista was respectful and allowed us access. Unfortunately, minutes later, the owner, Jessica Troupe, stepped in aggressively. When I notified her of his status, she was completely dismissive, setting a very poor example for her young staff member. Her confrontational and aggressive approach showed a clear ignorance of both the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) guidelines regarding public accommodations. If you rely on a service animal, please be warned. I will not be supporting this establishment. I hope management takes immediate steps to properly educate themselves on accessibility laws
