    The Harper's Club and Iced Chai
    Jayla J.

    If you're looking for really good food and cafe drinks, Harper's needs to be on your list! Had one of the best chai lattes of my LIFE at this spot. It was rich & sweet with the perfect amount of cinnamon. I also ordered the "Harper's Club with turkey bacon" and it was a 10/10! The hot honey was the cherry on top. I will definitely have to go back and try their coffee, but I am confident it will not disappoint. It is a smaller coffee shop, so seating is somewhat limited, but I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was not busy at all. I wouldn't say the space is all that aesthetic, it certainly has more of a chill, laid back vibe. But there are very cool paintings along the side wall, and even a little gondola lift booth that I think is very unique :) They also have a section with a bunch of games to play at your table too, which is cool!

    Green Matcha Latte

    My husband and I stopped in Harper's Cafe this weekend. We enjoyed our drinks. I got a large green matcha and he got a large Americano. I would get the matcha again. Originally I ordered the Blue Matcha, but was told they no longer do that there. Alas, I missed my chance to try it :( There was good music playing and we enjoyed the artwork on the walls. I put in a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the prints. *fingers crossed* The cafe is pet friendly because a few customers stopped in to get drinks while out walking their furbabies. There were quite a number of pick up orders, too. Harper's is a nice local spot in the Valley in WO-Town!

    Harper's Cafe is a small Cafe in West Orange with a vibrant afro-centric flair. It's cozy enough to get some work done or just read a book peacefully. The only drawback was they didn't have the air conditioner on during a hot day. I came to try their famous double drinks. I got half matcha and half mango lemonade. I enjoyed the experience of alternating between 2 different drinks in one sitting. The mango lemonade tasted like it was fresh squeezed.

    Small spot with a chill vibe. Service was fast, Barista was polite. There's street parking, & since it's near a corner you have an easy two streets to choose from. It's just mellow and low key. Cookies, & a couple of cakes from what I saw this go round. They seem to make food, but I was just popping in. It could definitely be a go to spot for when I'm in the area.

    I love this unassuming place. A cool breakfast and lunch place for the family. We stopped for breakfast and coffee. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There are games to keep the kids occupied. Cool vibes!

    I'm in love with Harper's cafe. It's a relatively new black owned coffee shop and it brings the perfect vibe for a productive work day. There's lots of seating with options for a reading/lounging vs a table and comfortable chair to get work done on your laptop. I ordered a chai with oat milk and it was delicious. I appreciate them using mugs for drinks ordered inside to reduce waste. The best part about my experience was the music and beautiful art work on the walls. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend if you're in the area. OH! And their wifi is great

    The French toast was amazzzzzingggg.. soft.. tasty.. 10 outta 10.. the egg platter my son wasn't a fan of.. I didn't know they put cheese in the eggs and it was a sharp non traditional cheese.. we weren't a fan of the potatoes either but the pastries were great.. not kids friendly but I'll return with adults next time

    Booth? It's cool to sit in.

    I am so excited to give this place five stars. I went here for brunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. This is an adorable coffee shop that also serves food. The coffee is absolutely incredible. I got the whipped coffee and it was actually incredible. We got to sit in this cool booth, I highly recommend doing this at least once. We got lucky and the family sitting in there when we got arrived finished just as we placed our order. For food, we got the Truffled Grilled Cheese and the Pancakes with Maple Butter Syrup with a side of Home Fries. The Truffled Grilled Cheese was absolutely delicious. If you are vegetarian, and get it without bacon, you'll need something else to cut the flavor, but it is excellent with the bacon. Very flavorful and they use good bread. It comes with a side of arugula which is good, but the dressing was just okay. The Pancakes literally have the BEST syrup. The syrup is house made and I suggested to our waitress that they serve shots of it. The home fries were good, but not great. For the things I said that were good, but not great, it just because everything else was so delicious. This is a great place for a quiet brunch, to grab a coffee, or get some work done. I love this place, and it kind of feels like a hidden gem. Service is excellent, but you have to ask for water if you want it. If you want a quick bite, this might not be the best place as everything is made to order and fresh and our brunch probably lasted an hour and a half which was perfect for us as we wanted a lazy morning kind of pace. They were apologetic about how long it took, but we honestly didn't mind. We got the Erica Scones to go and they were absolutely delicious! I heated mine up in the microwave and it was really quite excellent. They have a gender neutral single stall bathroom, and there is street parking. I highly recommend at least getting a coffee here. One visit will convince you to come back for brunch.

    Harpers is almost a hidden little coffee shop right in unassuming area. Once you step inside the coffee shop though the vibe and aroma surround you. There are several choices of drinks and a small selection of breakfast sandwiches which I've not had the pleasure of trying yet, but can attest the scones are great. There are board games to play, wifi and seating that encourages staying awhile to sip and snack or grab and go. They have some merch here if you need a hoodie or tshirt. I can absolutely see Harpers growing, especially since it's location is almost standalone in the way of independent coffee cafes and it's within walking distance of many homes and apartments in the area. Street parking can be a bit tricky though, so be aware of that. Coffee snob or not, come visit Harper's

    Finally made it in here recently after hearing about this coffee shop for a year or so. It is very cute! Downside is the parking in the area is hard so its best if you can walk over here. I only had a hot chocolate and scone for my first visit but they were both good. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu options! The cafe is small but cute with a bunch of tables. I like the big windows in the front. It feels very cozy and comfortable. Its great to finally see some more interesting places opening up in this area.

    Stopped by here for the first time today. I got a few drinks. Quaint and cute spot, great atmosphere. Service and drinks. I saw alot of people coming in for the pancakes so I'm adding it to my list to try when I go back.

    Don't get it.

    I needed coffee beans so I made the trek up here. They didn't have any available for another week so I ordered a latte to stay. After fifteen minutes I asked if it hadn't been made could I just cancel the order because it had been so long and I needed to get going. She told me it was already made and then proceeded to make it right in front of me. So I left with it in a to go cup and took my first sip and had to spit it out, apologies if anyone saw me, but it burned my entire mouth. A waste of an hour drive and $5. Customer service needs to be worked on.

    Love their matcha and specialty drinks! I've been here multiple times and their drinks are…read moreconsistently the best in the area. Their matcha is perfectly made. Loved the new Pandan cloud matcha that was recently added to their specialty drinks, can't wait to come back and try the blueberry latte and their food items. Def be prepared to wait in line for 15-20 min because they are always busy on the weekends!

First off: Service. I told the employee that this was my first time there, and they were more-than-happy to help me make a decision for my order. Patient and walked me through. Second: The Food. Let's get into it. 1) Cassava Latte ($7.50) - I was so pleasantly suprised at this drink; described as "(i)nspired by the Filipino dessert cake, made with condensed milk and coconut." The first sip, and I was intrigued! It was perfectly sweet, and the perfect mix of that coconut-dessert taste that cassava typically delivers! It tasted genuine, if that's possible. 2) Sinigang Croquette ($5.00) - This was interesting. Described as "Pork and Gabi (taro) shaped into a patty, rolled in Japanese bread crumbs, and deep fried. Served with our in-house sawsawan (dipping sauce)", it hit all the right notes. To be honest? $5.00 for 1 felt a bit steep. I'd pay $7.50 for two, though! 3) Boy Bawang Shio Pan ($7.50) - This was the most curious of all my purchases. Described as an "(i)n-house salt bread rolled in garlic and corn crumbs, filled with roasted garlic butter, topped with corn cheese whip. Inspired by the popular Filipino snack: Boy Bawang. THIS ITEM I SING ITS PRAISES. I am an absolute lover of the Boy Bawang Garlic Flavor Corn Snack --- much more pungent than anything Corn Nuts could ever offer. This Shio Pan absolutely delivered with its roasted garlic flavor! And as soon as you take a few bites ---- you get hit with that roasted garlic butter --- and let me tell you, they are not shy about their filling! Absolute master class --- but it's only for a limited run. You should definitely try! Third: Ambiance - The Cafe is quaint --- and has a seating area that could maybe fit between 18-24 people? It's just along the side of the business, but I managed to get a table for myself. Ayala, you did not disappoint! Can't wait to try your Sisig Flatbread for the next round!

There is spaces in the front on a sidewalk but signs there to not allow parking. Other street parking is a rarity due to it being off a busy main street. Nonetheless, the spot is very cute, with a floral wall with an orange couch for picture opportunities. There is ample seating, 2 seater, 4- seater and some high-tops. Wifi is available and free so this is a great working spot. I ordered the cappucino and the chicken mozzarella sandwich. The sandwich took a while as my server forgot to put my order in. Also, the sandwiches are pre-made and refrigerated. My cappuccino was pretty good and sandwich was good. Overall, a nice vibe for a coffee shop. Close to the Orange Train Station

My most consistent go-to is the Matcha Latte with Rosewater Simple Syrup. Sometimes you can actually taste the rose and it complements the matcha nicely. One thing I will say for the women, if you are into cycle syncing, there are so many options here for us. Fave foods to order are the cauliflower pita & lentil soup. The salad is quite filling and fresh. Actually all of their food is fresh. I like the falafel bowl although it can be a little dry. I typically drizzle olive oil on it. The tahini is good, but it's only enough for the falafels. The falafels are good as well; authentically flavorful. Def try the meze options. I've never ordered something and didn't get it a second or third time. I eat predominantly vegan and this spot gives me options galore like I'm back in NYC. Amazing for dine-in and the best at bagging your takeout/delivery. Stapling the liquids inside a smaller bag to stay in place in the larger bag? The most thoughtful packing I've come across honestly. Would love to see them add a vegan pastry or few. I appreciate that they do digital rewards now as well
