    I was very excited to try out this small Turkish x French fusion cafe for brunch today since the ingredients on the menu is suppose to be high quality and wholesome. We expect to pay extras for any quality food, unfortunately this visit was disappointing. We arrived on a Sunday, around 10:30am. There are 5 tables, plenty of seating because no one dined in. This cafe requires you to order first and then pay (including an opt to tip even before receiving service). Which isn't a problem because we always tip. Turns out every item we ordered were more expensive than the prices listed on the menu. Pricing should not vary between customers, this is what helps build a great group of loyal customers. My husband ordered a crepe, with spinach and cheese fillings-flavor was not bad, and it definitely tastes like a Turkish spinach pie, except in crepe form. I ordered an avocado toast with a poached egg, but extremely disappointed they used Sabra's (or similar) avocado spread. No offense, but that's the same spread I buy from Costco. I don't see why I have to pay over $15 for a slice of bread with a mass market guacamole spread/dip. To be honest, all the avocado toasts that I've EVER ordered were made with fresh avocados , until today. The food was very mediocre, nothing special. Our waitress was friendly. Both of our drinks were $11 each, NOT worth the price in my opinion. NYC is know for high prices, and I can get the same sz juice with multiple in ingredients and great tasting too! The blueberry and banana smoothie was very runny, too watered down. So don't expect to order this as a meal. Be expected to pay $1 extra for almond milk. The green juice tasted like it only had spinach and cucumbers only, missing the ginger, apple, and lemon flavors (which are ingredients listing on the menu). I asked the waitress for a piece of lemon to add into my juice. The recipe could be definitely be improved. We also ordered two Turkish bagels, but didn't receive it until we were ready to leave. Plus, we had to wait longer for the bagels despite having to already dined in for almost 45 mins. And during the wait, the lady took two bagels out from the fridge and microwaved it for 1 minute. We told her we could've heated the bread up at home but she said the bread is currently under cooked so it needed extra time for "cooking." Probably better for us to visit a bakery for FRESH Turkish bagels. The bill for 2 ppl was $75 (this includes taxes) for a Sunday brunch at this cafe. I think you are better off going elsewhere, maybe a diner.

    I really really wanted to like this spot but it didn't hit the mark. The service is great & the ambiance is quaint & welcoming, but the crepes were very disappointing. They were white, doughy, and lacking flavor. We ended up throwing them away unfortunately. For an $18 item (each) we expected a lot more... we won't be returning but maybe you'll have better luck!

    The best crepes and specialty coffee in town. Loving everything about the shop. The owner is a gem and is so nice!

    Organic Chipotle Chicken Sandwich + Nutella & Fruit Crepe

    The coffee is phenomenal. So far have tried the Pistachio, Oreo, Nutella, Biscoff lattes (iced and hot), all of which are amazing. Out of the myriad coffee shops/ cafes in Montclair that offer amazing specialty coffees, Fontaine's tastes so yummy without compromising coffee flavor. They also have out of this world crepes and a chicken sandwich that was delish. EDIT: I tried their pumpkin flavored coffee and it was amazing! So subtly tasty without that ultra-sugary "pumpkin" sweetener most PSLs have. This had nice seasonal cinnamon touch to it. The ambiance is cozy and fun, with funky artwork on the walls. It's a pleasant atmosphere. The lovely owner and staff are what sets this place apart. Highly recommend 10/10

    The interior is incredibly charming, and I love the atmosphere. The owner is always smiling and happy, which adds to the pleasant experience. The sandwiches are generously sized, so I often share one with a friend. The coffee, particularly the hot lattes, is exactly how I like it. I've recommended this place to many coworkers and friends, and they all love it too.

    This place is love. How can you not find something amazing at this quiet little cafe tucked into a corner in Montclair? They always greet you with a warm smile and great service! The Turkish sesame bagel was delicious and incredibly flavorful. Chocolate chip cookies are made just right - soft dough, hard chips, and they melt in your mouth. This is a great getaway spot to escape a hectic day and get some yummy treats. Fair prices for a great variety. Wheelchair accessible with a ramp located outside. You gotta go!

    Was walking around Montclair and stopped in for a matcha latte. The ladies were nice and my matcha Latte was decent. I like that they have a couple of tables outside so I could sit with my pup. Would definitely come back to try the food and pastries!

    Veggie Sandwich
    Anissa A.

    We ordered take out but definitely planning to be back to eat in too. The sandwiches we ordered (egg and cheese & vegetarian) were delicious! The bread was amazing and perfectly toasted. We also ordered the banana pudding desert for the day which also was very good. Can't wait to try out other foods and drinks!

    Excellent croissants. The almond and chocolate croissants are soft and flaky with generous fillings. Delicious. Good cappuccinos as well

    If you are looking for an Italian gem in New Jersey (Montclair) Cafe Giotto is a must-visit…read more Before we tackle the amazing food, the first impressions were great. The lighting is warm and cozy and beckons you to dine in and enjoy every bite. The service at is excellent, from the moment you walk in. Everyone is very friendly and on a busy night we didn't have to wait long. It is BYOB, so we brought a red, white and orange wine that paired well with our meal. My friend eats at Cafe Giotto often so he's of a regular and the staff treated us really well which made our experience even better. We started with the Insalata di Mare, which was very fresh. The handmade pasta is really great and I had the Seafood Linguine, with lots of scallops and shrimp in a broth, and extra spicy. i tasted some of my friends' dishes too, which included flat bread pizza, ravioli, salmon and some other delectable dishes. I ended the night with their Tiramisu. It was the perfect finish, to the meal. Not too sweet and nicely presented with fresh fruit. Though I'm not in Jersey often, I'm sure to return to Cafe Giotto later this year.

    I had no idea this place existed for so long and I was really missing out…read more It's located on the cutest street and at first you think it's just a tiny coffee shop but then you realize they have an entire back room seating area and so much to offer. When you enter, there are an assortment of pastries so we had to get the egg custard tart, the caramelized onion and potato tart, and the were very kind to give us a chocolate tart for free. We also ordered a margarita flatbread and an eggplant parm sandwhich. The tomato sauce on the sandwhich and the flatbread is unbeatable. The eggplant parm sandwhich was probably the best one we've ever had. All of the pastries were amazing but the egg custard tart was my favorite. It had a hint of lemon and was super creamy. The owners were so kind and welcoming and I would definitely go back for a small coffee and pastry or for a full meal.

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.
