Stopped in for lunch on a Friday while in town and loved my experience…read more Had a short fifteen minute wait and was seated at the bar near the window. The service was super attentive + the ambience felt like a true neighborhood spot with a cozy and hip interior. Started off with a DKA pastry and then followed up with one of their specials which was their take on a chicken Milanese paired with a buttermilk ranch topped salad. Both were really solid and were the perfect start for a day filled with exploring what Montclair had to offer. Definitely wouldn't mind stopping by again when passing through!

Groovy Southern food meets refined semi-upscale downtown. What do we get?…read moreBreaded okra. Kiss my grits, but we aren't always talking BBQ when we're in the South. I've had me some soul food in Mississippi and 'Bama, though at a fraction of the price you get up North. Look, it's a Montclair thing. Pluses: Black owned restaurant serving cultural staples, plus foods for people who don't want Southern. Ambiance featured soul music, and at one point was playing Shaft! I can dig it. You're not left wanting for food quantity or quality. Plenty of shrimp in the grits, for example. Server was very pleasant to talk to with a little Southern twang to her voice. Why not five stars: Flavor needs deepening. For example, in the South I'm used to seeing okra chopped and breaded before being fried. Maybe more oily that way, more carbs... but more flavor as a result. I had the pulled chicken mac, which was a bit smaller of a dish overall (a bit intentional on my part) - and while the cheese flavors run deep, the meat did not. Shrimp and grits, I took a quick sample of my friend's grits and... I bet you can guess my finding there. Still, a very nice change from the usual Northern selection of foods. I would not hesitate to say Sweet T's is authentic and a nice visit if you're in town. You'll be paying a pretty penny wherever you eat, so you can tag this one on your list.

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.

It's very much like an old diner, but more upscale. I ordered the kale and wheatberry salad, which was very good, especially as it had grapefruit on it. I would've liked if it had more pieces of grapefruit, as two was very little, and I also would've liked if they had a stronger vinaigrette to pair it with. My boyfriend, on the other hand, order the pancakes and make them chocolate chip chips, and I have to say those are by far the best pancakes I've ever had. They tasted sort of like a very moist cake, but not too sweet that it is overwhelming. We will truly be coming back and try more things from their menu, especially excited to try their dinner items.

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!

I had the stuffed French toast, it was cooked perfectly, I do wish the cream cheese filling was a little thicker, but great flavor.

They renovated! It's fresh, clean, and bright. Go check it out!

If you're looking for a sweet treat that won't make you feel guilty after, definitely go to Montclair nutrition!

We were able to change up the flavor of each one. We ordered oreo, m&m, fruity pebbles, white chocolate and churro. Each doughnut was the perfect bite; guilty free! For drinks, my sister ordered the pumpkin dulce de leche shake and I ordered the peach Bellini energy drink. Both were really good I wish I lived close enough to have one every day! Parking wasn't bad on a Monday afternoon as I found street parking around the corner. You can also sit inside as they have puzzles and cozy seats to relax in while you enjoy your treats. If you're looking for a healthy spot with a vibe, Daily Dose is it!

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.

The bread pudding was okay, could have been warmer. It was an okay experience!

I ordered the black bean burrito and an iced latte. It took a while for my latte to come out, and I actually got sick from it soon after. The burrito itself was great, and some black burnt potatoes aside, the potatoes were delicious. Food aside, there were some bugs flying around our table, which was pretty unpleasant. Our server never checked on this, and we had to go up front to ask for the bill. I probably wouldn't come here again unless I was really hungry and I just wanted a quick bite.

Located in Montclair, this small breakfast and lunch spot is a local favorite. The service was really good, they were very attentive to our large group and my toddler. They had some books for him. I had the huevas rancheros, which is only available Fri-Sun. It had 2 eggs that came on 2 fried tortillas and a side of potatoes and avocado slices. It was delicious, very flavourful and satisfying. The sourness of the seasoning went really well with the plain bean and tortilla taste and complimented the eggs well. Everyone at the table was satisfied with their meal. My son had the oatmeal, he loved it and he's not an oatmeal lover usually!
