Amazing experience! We loved the beautiful atmosphere, friendly service/staff, perfect sized portions, and the outstanding quality of every dish. I had one of the best Smoked Salmon Benedicts I ever tasted and beautifully prepared. And the freshly squeezed orange juice was amazing! It's a great spot for a family meal, a relaxing weekend brunch, or even a casual business meeting. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back! read more

Upperroom Common - Smoked Salmond Benedict. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

See all

I never thought I'd be writing a glowing review of a modern breakfast and brunch spot tucked into the Boonton Plaza shopping center -- especially in the space where IHOP and McDonalds used to serve up their aggressively mid breakfast and lunch cuisine. UpperRoom Common completely exceeded my expectations with an ambiance that is unexpectedly stylish, giving off a really elevated vibe without feeling stuffy, and plenty of tasty breakfast and brunch options.. but, what truly sets this place apart is the front of house staff. The service here is absolute top-tier -- attentive, warm and friendly, and on point from start to finish. The menu strikes the perfect balance between elevated health-conscious eats like protein-focused bowls and classic comfort like pancakes and egg platters, as well as a handful of burgers and sandwiches. I got the Shakshuka ($18), and it was fantastic -- a perfectly poached egg tucked into a mildly spicy tomato base with sautéed onions and peppers, topped with fresh avocado, cilantro, and red pepper flakes. The thick-cut rustic sourdough served alongside was ideal for scooping up every last bit of the tasty sauce. My dining companion was just as thrilled with her Sunrise Protein Bowl ($18), packed with scrambled eggs, home fries, savory chicken sausage, fresh avocado, and a killer smoky sriracha aioli drizzle. We also enjoyed the house blend drip coffee, which was the perfect complement to our meal -- rich, smooth, and easily good enough to stand completely on its own. Upperroom Common is an absolute gem in an unexpected location for breakfast and brunch. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: Upperroom Common has a small private room off the main dining room that you can reserve if you're planning a group gathering or small party. PRO TIP #2: The stylish decor features unique, nature-inspired handcrafted moss art by local artists that rotates periodically -- and it's all available for purchase if you want to take a piece home. read more

Upperroom Common - Shakshuka - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

Newly opened breakfast/brunch cafe. This is in the Walmart plaza in Boonton where the IHOP used to be. I was greeted by the friendly host upon entering. I told him I was dining solo and he took one look at the book in my hand and asked if I'd like a table or booth and it I'd prefer maybe a quieter spot. I said I didn't have an opinion on the table but a quiet location would be lovely. I sat down and Corrin welcomed me and asked if it was my first time dining. I said yes and she said if I had questions about the menu feel free to ask. I ordered a lavender matcha latte and an avocado toast. Both items were beautifully presented and I couldn't wait to dig in. The latte could have been a touch hotter but was still very good. I'm usually not a fan of feta, balsamic, or sourdough but I ate up the avocado toast like I was starved. The toast had a decent bread to spread ratio and the cherry tomatoes were juicy and tart. I have a feeling I'll be dreaming about this one for a while, it was that good. I didn't manage to get any reading done despite the light instrumental music playing overhead (perfect reading /studying soundtrack) but I was able to take my time eating and didn't feel rushed at all. I love that Corrin was attentive and quick with any requests I made. Also, I think more restaurants should start normalizing online payments to speed up the process of checking out. Even though I settled my check this way, it was sweet of her to come over to thank me and wish me a good day. Although prices are a little bit high, it's really not unreasonable for this area. I cannot wait to visit again to try more items on the menu. Love that I live so close too! read more

Came here while in the area looking for brunch on a Sunday. Glad to find this spot and it closing at 3 pm. There was plenty of parking, which is always a good thing. I was quickly seated and the waitress came to take my order. I ordered the cappuccino and the breakfast bowl with bacon. The cappucino was good. The breakfast bowl was good as well but really wished they made it with two eggs instead of one lonely egg. Plus, i was expected bacon slices, but got bacon bits instead. Also, the potatoes were a tad dry or over-fried with nothing else else (onion, peppers) with them. The salsa was good, but sadly not enough. Very nice, comfortable, chill environment. read more

I randomly found this place when my friends were in town and we decided to pay it a visit! The look of it inside is very much like Willow & Whisk in Wyckoff with bright lighting, minimalistic decorating& trees throughout the restaurant. Our server, the younger brother of the owner, was attentive and funny- he did a great job promoting the family business and giving us a great experience. The food was also delicious, and they had a lot of options. The only critique I have is that the coffee options tasted amazing, but were extremely sweet. We can't wait to come back! read more

The food is PHENOMENAL!!!! You can taste the fact that it's freshly made! While it takes a little longer for the food to be prepared, I am more than okay with it due to the fantastic taste. The shakshuka was delish! A dash of spice but mostly a flavorful spice than a hot spice. The banana walnut pancakes were large and fluffy and stuffed with bananas and walnuts. We also both got blueberry mojito mocktails that were refreshing! The building itself is very clean and open like a high class brunch restaurant. While the service is a bit slower, since they are still newer I think they are still figuring it out and hiring new people. I expect that will sharpen as they get more situated. Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone looking for a healthier, and more higher class brunch. read more

New restaurant in the Boonton area. Came to try it out with my cousin and we were pleasantly surprised at how empty it was. We were greeted immediately by two young gentleman ( one was shadowing the main server) dropped off the menus and asked if we wanted waters to start. The menu had lots of amazing options to the point where we wanted to order the entire menu but had to limit it to one option. We both ended up ordering the same dish. We both got the breakfast bowl and we ordered coffees and I got the blueberry mojito. The restaurant is big and well put together. Reminded me of first watch's layout, but they also have a private room to host a party. We will definitely be back again soon to try out the rest of the menu. read more

Attractive restaurant with a very big menu for brunch and lunch. The staff were all friendly and efficient. Thought it was a bit miserly to charge extra for more dressing for the salad and for an extra strawberry for what was billed as pancakes with strawberries and bananas when only a few little slices of strawberry were served. read more

Loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. I went twice in one week because I enjoyed the food so much. I really enjoyed their house made chicken sausage the most! (Can come with the sunrise protein bowl). Great drinks as well read more

Service was excellent and the place is just adorable. My only complaint was that I ordered a sandwich and I added prosciutto to it and they put on one slice of prosciutto and charged me $10 so a $19 sandwich ended up to be $29 which is ridiculous. An order of ricotta blueberry pancakes, which consisted of two pancakes not three was $17 and an Arnold Palmer was $5.50. The food was very good, but you have to expect to pay high prices for brunch here. Also, the shopping area that it's in looks extremely rundown so I hope that this restaurant brings some new businesses to this area. read more

Upperroom Common - Salted caramel latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boonton, New Jersey

Best brunch spot in Boonton! I love this place! Both benedicts and burgers are great!

Everything about this place is excellent. Starting with the coffee, it's the best I have had at a restaurant or coffee house and I am picky about my coffee. They have fresh, hand-squeezed orange juice, which was again the best I have ever had. The food was outstanding. I had breakfast there and the quality of the food and how well it was prepared was again, outstanding. The service was terrific as well. This was the first time I was here, but it will not be the last. read more

Clean ambiance with beautiful natural decoration that was hand made. Have been a few times, if you're looking for some place to try some delicious food with a welcoming family environment, this is it. The servers are very kind and respectful. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area. read more
