Great gift store in Upper Montclair. The service is always very friendly…read more I can always count on finding a great gift for my mom or grandmother there. While much of the store is not exactly my taste, they do have very pretty items which have universal appeal. They carry lots of great lines, like Michael Aram, Juliska, Simon Pierce and Vera Bradley. They do wedding registries, and usually get to know the brides and their tastes -- so even if you don't find something in your budget on the bride's registry, they will suggest something else she might like. Overall, a friendly home decor & gift shop, with great personalized service.

The service is always great. They have a good variety of flowers and plants....i buy mums in the fall so they have a huge variety. During the fall they have hay bales and corn stalks which are also reasonably priced. They have plenty of pumpkins and yard decorations as well. Bringing items to your car is easy because they provide wagons to cart your purchases around in as you shop. They also provide rope if you need to tie something to the roof of your truck. The plants I have bought always last the fall and are in good shape. There is always help available if you need. Great nursery.

I really wish I would've found out this place sooner after wasting so much money on crappy privacy trees online that arrived very sparse to say the least. Look for Jerry he is so very nice and helpful.

The flowers I've purchased from here seem to last longer and grow larger than other garden centers. The prices are not outrageous like some other garden centers as well. It feels nice to not only support a local business but also get a product that is better from a large-chain box store as well. They also have a pretty large selection of seasonal produce, such as jersey tomatoes in the summer Honestly the best part is that in the fall they have really cute farm animals that you can visit!

Staff is friendly, family owned, don't expect super quick service. They do everything themselves here. Great to take kids or someone who is interested in building their garden.

I love plants but have never constructed my own masterpiece, I'd rather buy what someone has put together or simply hire a landscaper. After several visits to Brookside, this city girl that has only known concrete officially has a green thumb. The staff at Brookside are extremely helpful. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Leroy and he was able direct me to the most beautiful plants the store had to offer. He was very knowledgeable about gardening and the life spans of all of the flowers and plants. He encouraged me to make lovely pots at home. What a clever salesman. The prices were reasonable which also encouraged me to buy more. The cashier and office staff were also very cordial. This seems to be a well ran family business (I don't know, just guessing). I come here often for two reasons: customer service and fair prices. A great local business that proved to me a rose can grown from concrete.

Seat: the seat sags at the edge of both arm rests because the retractable bed does not expand out to the edges. I told Urban Natural about this and that the only solution i have found so far is to stuff a sheet into the gap where the sofa cushion is sagging as it meets the arm rest. 3. Service: fairly good response from Urban Natural but the moving team damaged two door frames when moving this sofa in and more than a month after alerting Urban Natural there is still no plan for compensation and repair.

Ordered: Vanilla Latte (~$6)…read moreCarrot Cake Slice (~$5) Aya's take: Tucked away on beautiful Church Street, Lit Cafe is a minimalistic cafe with a clean aesthetic and classy interior. There's a few tables and can probably seat 10 people comfortably. They were out of lavender so I opted for the Vanilla Latte. It was creamy (almost fluffy), the espresso was bold and balanced, and the latte was soothing and lightly sweet. I also got the Carrot Cake Slice which was a good try but didn't stand out. Sadly, I was not served in one of their cute cups; mine just had a sticker on it (not sure why since they did have them). Nonetheless, good try and I'd come back if I'm back in Montclair.

Lit Cafe's name has a double meaning that I appreciated. The obvious meaning aside, the "Lit" also refers to many items for sale on several shelves distributed throughout the cafe. These items range from reusable cups to cocktail infusions to special jam from the MET. This gives it an air of being more than just a cafe but also a place of culture. The interior of the cafe is beautiful. Light wood, beautiful sunlight pouring in from the large windows running along one side and gentle lighting that instantly made me feel comfortable and welcome. I ordered a Dirty Chai and a scone. The staff was super nice and efficient. After my items were ready I headed to sit down and chill. I was really surprised that after about a half hour the staff didn't try to rush me but to be fair, there was plenty of seating that early in the am so I was able to spend about 45 minutes there (to be fair, it took me about a half hour to finish my scone and drink). Also points to the cafe for playing super chill music that created a great vibe and a volume that didn't make my skull rattle. Also, while I did not use it I am pretty sure I saw another customer using a rest room so I think there is one for customers (but you may want to double check for yourself if you visit). I loved my visit to Lit Cafe and look forward to going back during my next visit to Montclair!

DO NOT WASTE your time with them please…read more Extremely disappointing experience with Designer Appliances. We placed an order exceeding $40,000 and expected a reasonable level of communication, accountability, and customer service. Instead, we have faced repeated problems--from issues with the installation of several appliances to a serious lack of follow-up regarding outstanding items. We are currently left with a large opening in our expensive stone countertop while waiting for a teppanyaki plate, yet we cannot get a clear answer about its status or what we are supposed to do next. Our sales representative, Stanley, has stopped answering our calls and has not responded with any meaningful update about our order. After making such a substantial purchase, customers should not have to repeatedly chase the company simply to learn what is happening with their appliances. The lack of responsiveness and transparency has made us feel completely disregarded once the sale was completed. We were patient and gave Designer Appliances multiple opportunities to resolve these matters privately, but the continued silence has left us deeply frustrated. Based on our experience, their after-sales service and accountability have fallen far below what anyone should expect--especially when spending more than $40,000.
