    Dessert selection

    Brrrrr, baby, it's cold outside in the middle of the night in December, and we stopped in at this sweet-looking cafe for a bit of warmth and coffee. I wasn't sure if it opened as I didn't see anybody inside at first. Then we opened the door and stepped inside, and called out. We found the employee sitting behind the counter, but the counter was so big that it obstructed our view of knowing they were there. Upon looking around, they had a nice assortment of pastries and baked goods, along with wrapped sandwiches from earlier in the day. I spied the baked goods section and could not resist getting a chocolate chip cookie as we eyed their baked goods. We decided to share since I need to watch my calories during the holidays. I want to celebrate Christmas, and not look like Santa. The employee there made two lattes for us and asked if we would like her to heat the cookie. Yes, please and thank you! Upon sitting down, I noticed the big grease mark on the napkin, so it should be noted that their cookies are made with high butter content. The chocolate chip cookie, though generously chipped and served delightfully warm, fell a bit flat on flavor. Similarly, the latte, while hot and satisfying, was overwhelmingly milky, lacking the robust punch of a quality espresso. Here is how it ranked: Chocolate Chip cookie: 3.5/5 stars. Good texture, high butter content, but flat taste. Latte: 3.5/5 stars. Nice and hot, good alternative milk option, but too mild on espresso. This cafe is a perfectly pleasant spot for a moment of refuge and a hot cup of something, especially if you're not concerned with a full-bodied coffee experience or a truly exceptional baked good. If you're out and about needing to warm up, it does the trick.

    Breakfast Sunny Avocado Croissant - I had scrambled instead

    I have passed by this location many times. Today we decided to give it a try. The food is fresh and the coffee is flavorful. There is a nearby parking deck, short walk. Service was quick even though it was almost midday. It was a nice relaxing ambiance.

    I stopped here after a Yelp event and got a peanut butter cookie. It was dense, very flavorful but slightly dry. But the place is adorable inside and I feel it would be a lovely place to work. It's cozy and has welcoming vibes.

    Sunny Avocado Croissant
    Angela L.

    Fresh food not fried, which is a big deal ! Everything was tasty the meal was good enough to be shared between me and my girlfriend. Avocado was fresh and the fries were good. The hot chocolate was also great and very chocolatey! The pecan crunch latte was also good. There was a lot of crunch in it so if you're not a fan of having that, then you shouldn't get it, but it was tasty. Came earlier in the day, so it was perfect. Service was quick. Great ambience to stop with your friends or on a quick date.

    Love coming here. I was on a solo date and decided to treat myself for breakfast as I read my book. I love their homemade lemonade infused with strawberries and mint. I also ordered their sunny avocado which was yummy and also came with a side of a green salad. You order and pay at the front and they bring it out. Service was speedy and professional. I also love their bakery section as well and their decor for the holidays.

    Everything that needs to be said about this lovely Montclair cafe has already been said by other reviewers. The ambiance is just as cozy and homey as others have suggested, and the service (both at the tables and counters) is friendly to boot. What I'd like to add to the heaps of Yelp praise of this sweet cafe is my personal ode to the pistachio croissant. Maybe it's the recent virality of the famed Dubai chocolate, but I've noticed this green nut making a more prominent appearance in pastry shops (to note: Sweet Kitchen proffers their own version of the Dubai dessert). I was tempted by two of them behind this cafe's counters - the gluten-free pistachio cookie and the pistachio croissant. For a cookie free of gluten, this one's got plenty of crunch and texture. There's a ton of almondy essence (maybe it's made with almond flour?) that beautifully complements the flavor of the ground pistachios. But the croissant was what took my breath away. When we broke into it, we audibly gasped at the gooey dribble of pistachio filling that revealed itself. It's a wonderful and tasty surprise that, along with the crunchy pistachio topping, makes for an incredible take on the humble croissant. There are just enough tables to provide a low hum of vibrancy without making things too loud. The corner of self-service materials (eating utensils, water cups, and bins for used glassware) also makes this a great space for hanging out to work or catch up with friends without waiting for servers.

    Cute, midsized bakery and cafe that makes specialty coffees and baked goods. We stopped in to try their raspberry rugulach, banana pudding, strawberry shortcake and chocolate covered strawberry. All items were fresh and tasty. The strawberry cup at $12 with 6 enormous strawberry was really nice! They have a nice variety of celebratory cakes and gluten free products. 4 stars because they lacked service. Not welcoming at all. After purchasing several items the cashier handed them to me in my hand, when I asked for a bag she replied 'we don't have them' and that was it! Very nice products and with improvement in customer service can easily be a 5 star bakery and cafe.

    Menemen eggs (background: Scrambled eggs and Banana Nut Oatmeal)
    Liz G.

    Sweet Kitchen is FANTASTIC!!! When we first walked in, I was a little apprehensive because it was super packed. But service was quick and we were able to get a table pretty much right away. I ordered the menemen eggs, a dish I had never had anywhere before, and it blew my mind. It was bursting with flavor and the naan bread that came with it was so light and perfect. I also had a really good dirty chai. My husband ordered oatmeal, eggs, and coffee and also thoroughly enjoyed his meal. We really should've written down our server's name because she was so energetic and welcoming. We would absolutely come back here, and wholeheartedly recommend it if you're in the area.

    Ventured off to Sweet Kitchen because I was going to be in the area AND because I was here to pick up my Too Good To Go goodie bag. A friend told me about the app months ago and so fellow Yelp Philly member in December. I just never had the opportunity since my area is so rural. When I got to Sweet Kitchen, my bag was ready and waiting so I applaud them for being so efficient. The staff wasn't all that friendly BUT they were quick and on it so pick your poison. Sweet Kitchen was such a cute shop. LOTS of seating, great music, and even a fireplace-ish. The place is a little worn but it's super clean and organized. The pastry case was full with cheesecakes, layered cakes, tarts, tiramisu, and all. They had soooo many baked goods as well. Savory and sweet. And even a Gluten Free section as well. Smoothies. Teas. Coffees. You name it. A proper café! I got an Americano to go with my goodie bag which turned out to be 4 HUGE slices of Red Velvet Cake. It was delicious and the surprise twist: they had raspberries between the layers! So yum!

    Ambience: 5/5, a blend of coffee shop and brunch spot. Service is friendly, it's not too loud, still lively but not overcrowded Food 4/5. Was able to come here and be seated right away after a different brunch spot had a 1.5 hour wait. French toast (perfectly cooked with a vanilla sauce that hit the spot) and steak sandwich (was impressed by the baguette and how well the flavors came together) were excellent. The eggs benedict was good.

    Lovely spot for brunch in Montclair! I have been a few times now for both pastry and full plates. Service is friendly, though I feel like the functionality of the restaurant seems more focused on bakery/cafe to go since there's not formal way of getting a table. This is despite there being lots of seating! I never like to just sit down and expect to get service, so you gotta ask at the counter and take menus from there. Other than that, the place is truly lovely. AND it can get busy since it's popular, so be ready to order!

    Chocolate Mousse Cake
    Aimee C.

    Cute little cafe in downtown Montclair! The decorations are floral and rustic looking and it really sets a good vibe for studying, coffee dates, or studying with a friend. Seating is self-managed and make sure to pick up after yourselves! Water can be requested by the server if you are planning to dine in, and they'll bring your order right to your table when it's ready. I got to try the decadent and creamy chocolate mousse cake, and it was an ENORMOUS slice! Definitely worth the price! The mousse was very sweet and chocolately, so the chocolate sponge on the bottom definitely helped to break up the taste and make a more complex flavor. This parred with a black coffee or tea would be amazinggg. My friend also got the tres leches which seemed creamy and fresh. I definitely will be going back to check out their other menu items, maybe a savory one now that I know their sweets are the real deal. Great post-dinner dessert spot!

    Great assortment of pastries and macaroons
    Gertrude C.

    This café felt like home. The staff was super warm, genuinely kind and great at explaining what was on the menu. I would highly recommend coming to this café if you're looking to meet up with a new friend work from home at a café or give yourself a solo date. I definitely want to come back for the macaroons and some of the pastries. I loved my tea combo. The only thing I would say is that the bench chairs are a little higher than the four legged chairs, which was a little awkward.

    Is it ok if I meet somebody here for a cup of coffee or is this more of a sit-down restaurant? It seems like a cute little cafe but when I look at the menus it seems like more of a place where they expect you to order food.

    I hope you found an answer sooner, but for others wondering the same: this is definitely a place to meet someone for coffee. No pressure to order more than coffee and/or baked goods. You will want at least those anyway!

    Can the owners post a food menu? The website is not up.

    I think that website address is wrong, I found it with this website: https://www.sweetkitchenmontclair.com

    Another great spot for breakfast/Brunch!…read more Great location too at Montclair with street parking and walking distance to Crescent Deck Garage. Place is welcoming and had nice natural lighting. We got their Huevos Rancheros, roasted chicken, tuna chaufa and lomo saltado. everything was great - good portions and beautiful flavors! Especially loved their Earl Grey latte too. the flavors of tea and espresso were very well balanced I would love to get that drink again. Also got their smores cookie for a nice sweet ending. We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

    Went to Libélula for the first time today, as I'm very picky with the Peruvian places I try (I was…read moreborn and raised in Perú, so I just have a very set palate for Peruvian food). My friend and I asked if they sell pan con chicharrón, and though they don't have it on the menu, the chef (Brian) said he'd make it for us! First impression of the service ... amazing. We got the pan con chicharrón and I truly almost cried! I have not had one as delicious as this one in Jersey! The pork was tender, yet nicely fried, and there was not as much fat on it which is always hard as the fat gives it the flavor but too much can be overpowering. After talking to the chef, he mentioned that it is no longer on the menu because people didn't really order it ... so here I am, asking you all to go in and order it, so it can hopefully go back on the menu and everyone can try authentic and delicious Peruvian breakfast!! HUGE shoutout to Brian for creating something that brought both me and my friend a true sense of home

It is a Breaded chicken cutlet,sharp Wisconsin cheddar, avocado, pico de gallo, roasted tomato aioli, brioche bun.
