Paper Plane Coffee is located in Upper Montclair. Seating here is similar to a plane but being popular all were taken. Raj often comes here and today had a different coffee - the Paper Plane Tonic consisting of Orange, Tonic and Espresso. He enjoyed it a lot. I had the iced Nam-Dam which consisted of a cold brew with cardamom and sweetened condensed milk. It was delicious and I could have had two! We got high stools and sat by the front window. This cafe is Columbian-American with beans from Columbia. In the refrigerator, I found to my surprise Spēka, the chocolate covered cottage cheese bar in assorted flavors that I had sampled at the Restaurant Show and has been difficult to find in the Big Apple. I bought four in lemon and gave one to Raj to try. The only drawback to this cafe are the hours whereby they close at 6 pm all week.

Espresso

Cute airplane-themed coffee shop. Gets packed, but they have a lot of seating. I ordered the Nam dam, which was good though I couldn't really taste the cardamom. My boyfriend liked his espresso.

well trained experienced baristas

The coffee is fantastic, but it is the setting that truly makes this place unforgettable! Sitting in refurbished airplane seats is such a fun and unique experience that you won't find just anywhere. The vibe inside is amazing--warm, inviting, and full of character. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee , hot or cold ,hanging out for while at Paper Plain Coffee is definitely worth a visit. Also casual outside seating to.

Earl Grey Tea & Iced Espresso

Been here a couple of time with my Fiancé! I wouldn't say it is the best coffee or tea we have had but the vibes of this shop is everything! Such a cute hangout/place to get some work done! Service was great! And the coffee was pretty good! Would recommend to come by just to check it out!

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.

Iced Vanilla Latte - so good !!
T. G.

Great coffee / iced tea and ambience. Parking in the area isn't too bad either! Staff was friendly and they were so packed, the line was practically out the door! I loved the vibes.. they have plenty of options on the drink menu and some pastries. They also have a good amount of seating as well. I would absolutely stop back in and recommend this spot - people love it and I totally get it! They also have a back area for pick up, which is awesome! Cheers!

Hot Butterbroo
Miranda D.

Spent an afternoon here on a day off to finish a book and not be stuck in my hotel. Absolutely loved the coffee, so much I got two drinks. Highly recommend the Butterbroo! The unique atmosphere was fun, too. Baristas were chatty and friendly. Will absolutely be returning if I'm in the area again!

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!

Ready for take off! Seating

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.

Mayan Latte good to the last sip!
Jerry F.

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!

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.

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

My friend and I ended up at Mokafe because he had been looking for a place to get a cup of Yemeni…read moretea. He had tried it at a friend's mosque and he says he's been chasing that high ever since. We figured we'd try to get some at Mokafe. It wasn't too difficult to find street parking, but the cafe was surprisingly busy for a late Sunday night. We placed our order for Adeni Shai, Dubai Knafa Brownie, and a Lotus Biscoff croissant. Everything was delicious. I have never had Yemeni tea before so I didn't have a bar to measure it against. I really enjoyed the tea though my friend said it wasn't exactly what he was looking for. I feel like it could've done with more spices but it still tasted very good. The Dubai Knafa Brownie was excellent. The brownie by itself was nice and moist with the perfect texture for a brownie. The Knafa set it over the top with the crunch and pistachio flavor. I'd definitely get this again. The Lotus Biscoff Croissant was good, but I liked the brownie more. It was about an average croissant but the Biscoff spread added some nice flavor to it. I think it could've used more though. It was buttery and flaky; pillars a of what a croissant should be. However, I'd try another pastry before ordering this again. The place is clean, they play great music, and the service is prompt and friendly. Mokafe is a wonderful Coffee House and I'd love to come back.

Amazing food and service. I find a coffee shop in every city I visit and this is one of the best. I…read morealmost was afraid to come in because of the parking, but I'm glad I did because it was worth it.
