Nate L.

High quality ingredients, great service and extremely clean and bright establishment. Açaí bowl: Base: açaí, pitaya, Boomchia, ancient grains. Toppings: banana, strawberries, blueberries, toasted coconut and almond butter Came her around lunchtime on a Sunday and it was quiet but busy. I was greeted by the owner of the establishment who was extremely friendly and very nice. The ingredients here are extremely fresh. Strawberries and blueberries were perfectly sweet. Portions were great and everything "blended" together very well. I hope this business succeeds and expands to more parts of NJ

Acai and blue chia bases, chocolate granola, pineapple, blueberry, peanut sauce, coconut, almonds, and goji berry.
Cara S.

A good place for a very fresh acai bowl with lots of customization options. I got the acai and blue chia bases, chocolate granola, pineapple, blueberry, peanut sauce, coconut, almonds, and goji berry. It was very tasty, although it felt more like a desert than a health food. There were lots of different bases and toppings so I could definitely see trying this again just to see what else they offer. I knocked off 1/2 a star due to the price (my small bowl and a coconut water ended up being 17.99!) I knocked off another 1/2 star due to the basic ambience and service. Nice and clean but not a place I would really hang out.

LARGE BOWL
Tim R.

Got the large bowl and wow it was a lot! Place is very clean and the food looks fresh! Service was very friendly. Def check out if you're in the area!

Fruit options
Jessica I.

Highly recommend!! It's not listed but I got their hojicha base, as well as their mango base. First place I've been to that has hojicha base! They also offered to dice or slice my strawberries, which is also the first time I experienced that at an acai place! Samples available for the bases. Great selection for everything. Very clean inside. Helpful staff.

Bowl with Boomchia pudding, blue coconut and matcha base
Beatrice P.

This place is great for what it is! Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, wide variety, and great value with unlimited choices. The inside is casual as you would expect from a place like this. Only thing that was a slight let down was the flavor in the bases we chose - they really didn't taste like much (matcha and blue coconut). The dark chocolate granola was out of this world- definitely try it out!

Delicious bowl
Kayla L.

Checked out this spot in Montclair and was really happy with the results. BOOMCHIA pudding with blue coconut, topped with pumpkin seeds and flax, strawberries, bananas and pineapples. Service was excellent and place is very clean! I've always been hesitant to try healthy bowl places because I've always had the philosophy of why would I buy something simple that I can make at home, but the attention of detail put into these bowls is not something I can replicate at home. My friend went here and said I had to try it and I'm glad I did.

Medium SUPERFOOD BOWLS
Michael R.

This place was awesome, it was similar to a playa bowls but with way more options and unique/healthy toppings. The people helping us were very friendly and patient since it was our first time going. Great value and if you like fruits nuts or smoothies this is a great place to stop into.

Came here for the first time today. The staff were amazing. I asked dozens of questions and they kindly answered each one. This place has a lot of options with much less sugar than other places like playa bowls. The owner was very helpful in identifying add-ons that I would like, based on my preferences. Both bowls were delicious. We will definitely be back here.

Jared G.

This was one of the best acai bowls I have ever had. Sometimes these bowls can be too sweet and boomchia did not have this issue. Being able to choose different layers of base is a great touch and their signature chia pudding was amazing. Having the option to customize your bowl however you want for no additional costs is also another great feature. The almond butter and apple honey are must haves on your bowl. Definitely come try it out if looking for a great açaí bowl

Carmellina B.

Boomchia is such a unique take on your classic smoothie bowls! Having it be completely customizable from the base to toppings with NO extra fees is a great addition to the experience. I appreciate the variety of vegan and organic options they had to pick from. The Boomchia Pudding in my personal opinion stands out for the cool combo of chia pudding and blue spirulina. Overall you are able to taste how fresh and flavorful the fruit is in each bite and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place!

Counter
Nicole F.

The place was clean and had places to sit inside. The staff was friendly and willing to explain the menu to us. Everything looked fresh, the fruit was bright and crisp. There are three sizes to choose from. The blue chia pudding has spirulina in it, we were hesitant to try it but the staff told us it didn't have a distinct flavor, so we went for it. They were right! We had the mango base, blue spirulina topped with bananas, toasted coconut and apple honey. We also tried the coconut chia pudding with mango and blue coconut base, bananas and pineapple pieces with toasted coconut and agave. We would go back again/ we liked it better than playa bowls.

Acai Bowl
Yi X.

foodie_starry Ranked No.1 Top 100 Place to Eat in NJ! Acai Bowl! 3 sizes! 8 bases! 4 granolas! 4 fruits! Over 20 kinds of unlimited toppings!

Nicole S.

The fruit here is so fresh!! Every last ingredient in my bowl was so delicious. Super clean place and friendly staff too! Pleasant experience.

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.

We went on a weekday evening, there was only a couple of tables occupied with 2 girls attending. One girl was really friendly, explained the menu and had answering to any questions, while the other was not very friendly, helpful, or even patient. The food itself tasted amazing. I had ordered the spicy mozzarella sticks and the sunshine burger. The patty itself was very nicely cooked with a nice mixture of ingredients. The whole burger tasted so fresh. The spicy mozzarella was a really nice twist to just regular mozzarella sticks, they had a really nice jalapeno taste. My daughter was delighted to have veggie nuggets with French fries and said they were really good. My grandma ordered a plain hot dog and was surprised by the massive size of the sausage, she enjoyed her meal as well. I had ordered the hibiscus tea which was so refreshing, my daughter ended up getting one for herself as well. Overall, I loved the food and all the plant based options and will definitely be returning. Hopefully next time with better service.

REVIEW UPDATE - TAKEOUT ONLY: Ani Ramen House is a fantastic…read moreramen spot in Montclair. It's always a fun time and you're pretty much guaranteed a great meal at Ani Ramen. My husband and I really wanted some restorative, Japanese comfort food. However, we were unable to go there in person because he was sick, so I ordered delivery from them for the first time (via Uber Eats). The food held up well in transit and was just as good as if we were dining in. I went with a Karaage Rice Bowl with a Ajitama (6 minute egg) as an added extra. My husband went with a Vegan Ramen bowl. While we were supposed to share the Crispy Tofu Buns, my husband couldn't stop after one. Hey, I can't really blame him though, they are delicious. I can't say I would not have done the same thing had I gotten to them first ;)

This place deserves all the hype and rightfully so…read more After a long day at Turtle Back Zoo, was feeling quite hungry and was told about this establishment. I thought why not. Walked in and I loved the place already. Very chill and relaxing ambiance. Staff was very friendly and quite a lot of seating. Went on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of seats. I don't live very close so I thought I'd order a few things on the menu to try a variety. Was glad I did. Started with the cucumber salad. Light. Refreshing and even has a little kick. I couldn't stop eating it! Ordered the braised pork belly Bao. Comes in orders of 2. Sooooooo flavorful and so worth it! Ordered the Short Rib Ramen and their Special Spicy Tonkotsu ramen. So much flavor in the broths. Very filling and the numerous flavors from the fresh onions, to the beautifully cooked pork belly and short rib, to the perfect soft boiled eggs. A+! Will most definitely be on my mind to stop by every time I'm in the area!

I enjoyed it so much that I decided to return yesterday. This time, I went alone. I was excited to go back, until the moment I walked in and was immediately asked whether I had a reservation. I said no. I was one person, and there were plenty of empty tables. Despite that, I was placed in a freezing corner by the door. It was uncomfortable and honestly unwelcoming. Nowhere on your website does it say "reservations only," yet that's exactly how I was treated. I felt so uncomfortable that I chose to leave without even placing an order. I walked in ready to spend money and enjoy a meal, and instead I walked out feeling dismissed. You lost a paying customer. What makes this worse is that I later told the same friend I originally went with, and she shared that when she calls ahead for a party of two, they simply tell her to come in because there are plenty of seats and that reservations aren't even required. So clearly, reservations are not the issue. That makes the way I was treated feel intentional and different. As a Palestinian who spends a lot of time in Paterson, I'm very familiar with Middle Eastern restaurants and pricing. Lentil soup is a staple on our menus. I know what a reasonable price looks like. For example, Kral Pide in Paterson charges $7. Charging $15 for lentil soup is excessive. It's not just high, it's outrageous. I'm extremely disappointed. I came back because I genuinely liked this place. Instead, I left feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone, nor will I be bringing friends or family to this establishment again.

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.
