Such a cute place fairly close to the main Montclair area! It's definitely not a sit-down place but rather a grab and go shop, but it is still very quaint. The barista was nice and quick with our order. We both got a caramel latte, one with almond milk and with regular one; they were both okay and definitely satisfied our coffee craving. Our total was 13.99 which seemed a bit much for two small coffees. I think it's a nice spot to have if you live nearby. read more

Cute coffee shop in area with their own uniquely crafted signature drinks. Definitely look at their chalk board of specials. I got their Baby bi bi bi which is a vanilla matcha latte with vanilla cold foam and chocolate drizzle. I customized the drink to my liking and changed the vanilla cold foam for lavender cold foam and did it half sweet with soy milk. It was perfect to for my liking and the flavors went so well together. Probably one of the best lattes I have had! They also have day old pastries at the counter for $2 which is still very fresh. Great, chill atmosphere and heavily frequented by locals. read more

Been here a few times, so decided to stop in again today, as it was cold, rainy, and dreary and I needed a coffee. This shop is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The interior is charming and inviting, and the staff are always pleasant, kind, and helpful. Relaxing music plays from the speakers, the smell of coffee permeates the air, and various baked goods are available for purchase. Patrons are also very friendly each time, given the inviting nature of the shop. I usually opt for the latte, which is consistently satisfying. It is never bitter, always smooth, and packed with deep, rich, flavor. Today was no different. For a laid-back, charming, place to grab a great coffee, you can't go wrong here. read more

I am so happy this little café exists. I had purchased a red "love child" baseball cap the first time I was ever at Java love in 2017-2018 along with an ice coffee I'm almost sure. Today I had an amazing matcha. The cutest little barista surprised me with the choice of milk (which I had asked her to do) and it was "amassssing." The vibes inside are super earthy and chill and it's located next to the cutest flower shop. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you for surprising me, I really needed that. read more

Java Love clearly has a good business model. They've expanded and are doing plenty well for themselves. Everything about the place centers around love. The decor, the drinks, the coffee.

Top notch coffee spot! Super friendly kids working and lots of homegrown touches and comfortable welcoming decor that you hope for in an independent cafe. There was a great custom board of seasonal drinks I can't remember the name but I had the red eye, mocha, cayenne, cinnamon, and oat milk. IT WAS AMAZING. I wish I could have tried more. the chocolate chip scone was delicious as well. There was plenty of space inside for all the patrons to enjoy their drinks without feeling cramped or rushed. Nice part of town lots of things within walking distance but I will definitely be going out of my way to come back and try some of the other drinks. read more

We drove an hour to come here and it was less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit out. We came on the pretense that they had prepared food and heated outdoor seating. When we got there, none of the heaters were turned on. We also found out that none of the NJ locations had prepared food, just pastries. So we were hungry but just decided to get lattes. We also decided not to get beans because there were no 'roasted by' dates on them. I had to tell the employee three different times that I wanted two lattes, one with almond milk and the other with oat milk. He first thought i wanted both almond, then both oat and then there was an understanding that it would be one of each. But when we got our order, it was two oat milk lattes, and somehow one of them was sweetened, even though I didn't order sweetened at all. We still drank them, as I'd prefer not to waste, but it was a bit of a mediocre experience. For the positive, the lattes were still quite good and service was friendly. read more

My approval for a coffee spot rests on the basic cup of coffee. While many enjoy lattes and such, I always like to seek out a place that simply makes a good cup of joe. Java Love fits the bill. And of course, they have the fancier drinks too (and snacks). Located next to the 'someday reopening' Bellevue Theater, Java Love definitely has a specialty-neighborhood-coffee shop vibe going. Also, kudos for adjusting to Covid winter, making an effort to keep their outdoor customers comfortable with heating lamps and socially-distant chairs and benches. (The interior has seats, but it's takeout only at this time). read more

I love the creative/unique flavors they have- there's one right now called Oh My Love that's a mocha with strawberry syrup that's delicious. It's actually even better with raspberry syrup :) They've had this drink since Valentine's Day and it's currently April, thought it was a special for the holiday but I guess not!

I visited this coffee shop about a week ago, figured I would support a local business in Montclair when I observed a menu chalk board with Halloween themed names for various teas and coffees. One of these names was "Spook-Tea" and the tea just happened to be a Black tea. Now you can chalk this up to an oversight and coincidence no pun intended as this is a serious matter and extremely offensive but when I expressed my concern and frustration over a sign with a slur hanging in their store, the name wasn't immediately changed. Several other patrons voiced their concerns with me once they realized, but the folks at the counter said they couldn't make the change until the manager came in. I went into this store two more times in subsequent days to see if the corrections were made, it took 3 days but eventually the tea was changed to "Spooky-Tea" which I didn't have a problem with. I did notice at that time however that there was a sign at the register up that said "Kind People Matter" which to me felt like another slap in the face as many black people would find that to be an unnecessary trivilization of Black Lives Matter. I'll let future patrons decide the intent here but as a customer who supported this business many times over the years I'm saddened to see that they just don't get it. I was willing to overlook the first incident but this just feels like apathy and or a willingness to offend. At least that's how I was made to feel, and from what I gathered in my conversations with one batista, I wasn't the only person expressing similar feelings. read more

Despite my rating - There is one extremely RUDE & disgusting blonde female employee who works here who has a piss poor attitude. I have never been & felt so disrespected as a consumer until I had the "pleasure" of having her take my order.. Disregarding my previous statement however - the REST of the staff is actually so kind, sweet, eclectic & cool. This little coffee shop is cute. Java Love has great options in coffee. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself to be a coffee snob - but I am very particular about my tastes & likes in different roasts so idk you tell me lol. My favorite niche about this place is that in their "daily brew" menu they have the notes of the brews & coffees they have which is SO helpful to determine maybe what you might be in the mood for. My favorites in rotation are the Costa Rican Rio Negro & House Blend & a specific one that I can't quite remember unfortunately lol. When I have time before my morning clients & my commute I always make it my mission to stop by here & get a soothing cup of coffee to start my day (as long as that sour employee isn't working). read more

Java Love is my favorite spot for grab and go coffee in Montclair. They offer a wide variety of blends and special coffee drinks. One of my favorites is the "dirty grandma" chai. There were hints of cinnamon and nutmeg that gave it a sweet spice flavor. I also enjoy the "monuts" which is a muffin shape with a donut batter. I have tried the plain and also the Nutella. I would have liked to have a bit more Nutella filling in there though. The shop also has a good amount of space with seating to the side so if you wanted to sit, sip your brew, and hang out there is a nice ambiance to do so. read more

Quality coffee at fair prices with an exceptionally friendly staff. This place is a small, independently owned coffee shop that is new to the area, and I'm a fan. The coffee is robust and flavorful with a fresh taste. The owner seemed delighted for our business and could not have been any friendlier, taking the time to explain all they had to offer. Keep in mind that this is a shop for coffee and pastries only. There is no hot food--at least not yet. They have a nice--though curious--arrangement with The Little Daisy Bake Shop just up the road on Valley. The Bake Shop provides many of the pastries sold at Java Love, while Java Love provides the coffee for the Bake Shop. Win-win as far as I'm concerned. We sampled several of the pastries and were impressed. They are offering their own roasted beans at about $15/lb, and they will grind it to your preference. Between the service, coffee, pastries and price, I'm certain to return. read more

My friend insisted on stopping here for 1 item, and im so glad we did. Is Dez leaving a 5 star item…read morefor 1 item? Yes, mam. i highly suggest you get the espresso milkshake. its not too thick, you do not have to wait for it to melt. the shake itself is creamy. they blend this with 100% italian espresso, not just milk. So if you're looking for that kick, look no further. keep in mind they have other seasonal flavors of the gelato to blend in for the shake. you can also buy tubs of the gelato in the freezer off to the side I also grabbed a red velvet cookie, i didnt hate this, but felt it was a little dry. I will gladly come back for the house made cannolli and another espresso milkshake.

Really creamy gelato. Tried the espresso stracciatella and definitely would want to explore other…read moreflavors.

I am so glad my friend told me about the store! I walked inside and felt like a child!…read more The owner was very patient to introduce me to all the different pies. I ended up bought a steak ale and mushroom pie, an Apple raspberry and blackberry pie, and numerous chocolate and candy. As I left I saw the scones. The owner gave me a strawberry scone on the house. The steak pie was so good. For $27 it had tons of meat inside. The sauce was just perfect. The scone was heavenly. I didn't even put butter on it. Will try the apple pie tomorrow. I will definitely come back to try the other pastries.

Their lemon scones are literally THE BEST!!! Buy the clotted cream. And you have to try their…read moreThanksgiving pie. Delicious. And they are super nice. Great service.

As for the pizzas, kinda a mixed bag. Margarita was good,the pepperoni was a bit of a disappointment, the roni cups needed to be more charred and for some reason I wasn't thrilled with the sauce. HOWEVER, the White pie was an absolute standout! Do not pass on it!!!

Brrrrr, baby, it's cold outside in the middle of the night in December, and we stopped in at this…read moresweet-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.
