Great spot for a Matcha on a Sunday. The staff is chill with an amazing memory and the drinks are…read moreconsistently on point. There is almost always music playing and I really appreciate them taking orders over the phone and online. They also have this cool complimentary option of personalizing your cup with a black & white photo of you if you ask. I've also had the turmeric latte and the avocado toast which are worth getting again. The toast was fresh and flavorful. They have an enclosed booth that looks like it seats 4. Great for a little open privacy. The couches are quite comfortable as well. They have punch cards which is good, but I'm terrible with remembering so it would be great if they went digital with rewards. Maybe 1 point per visit or 1 point per $1 with tiered rewards. It's the only coffee shop I go to in the area that doesn't have digital rewards. Would love to see more vegan options on the menu, maybe a cinnamon roll lol. Con is they open late for a cafe. Coffee shops typically open at 7am.

I finally made it over to Harper's on a Sunday around noon for a late breakfast, and honestly…read more.. Harper's is the cutest. The vibes alone are worth the visit. It's cozy, small, has warm décor, friendly staff, just enough seating, and the music overhead was chef's kiss. And bonus: it's a Black-owned business, which I will always support. We ordered a small iced coffee with oat milk and sugar, an iced chai latte, the grilled cheese with arugula, and the egg platter. Everything was pretty good -- I wasn't blown away, but it was solid and seasoned well. I really wanted to try the French toast because I've heard so many good things, but they told me it would be a 30-minute wait. Our food ended up taking about 20 minutes anyway, so honestly, I probably should've just held on and waited for it. Next time! Prices are what you'd expect for a coffee shop in the suburbs of West Orange. We lucked out with a parking spot right in front, but parking in that area can definitely be tricky. They also sell Harper's Café merch -- t-shirts, sweatshirts, and quarter zips. I'm definitely going back to try the French toast and the pancakes because I saw several people ordering them, so they must be worth it. This is a great place to hang out, read a book, get some work done, chat with a friend, or vibe solo. Harper's Café gives you all the good feels, and I'll absolutely be returning. One note: the menu is limited, and not everything you see online may be available that day -- just something to keep in mind.

I always love coming here! Not only is a coffee great, but…read morethe ambience is unbeatable, and the owner is truly the sweetest . Their lattes are delicious and definitely give a try to their special "science" menu if you are into being surprised ! The croissants are not the best I've had in town, it would definitely be nice if they offer some salty items on the menu, but I understand that their focus is coffee.

Alexander and I wish I would have asked the female's name, well, it was a pleasure meeting them both. I wish this establishment the best and I also wish it was a lot closer to me. If you're on the fence about having a great morning with perfect coffee, just stop in and experience yourself. PS.... The spanakopita

Came here on a Saturday early afternoon to grab a late breakfast. The location can get a tad bit…read moreskeptical as the parking situation is bleek. 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

Had no…read moreexpectations because, like I said, it was cold, they were the closest place to take shelter and I saw a coffee bar. Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

The wall frames and Christmas decorations are gorgeous and there are tables, with comfortable seating, on one end of the Cafe. I ordered the following: Matcha White Hot Chocolate (a traditional matcha latte blended with white chocolate sauce), Snickerdoodle Latte (A traditional latte, blended with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla syrup). Both of these were served at the perfect temperature, were richly creamy, and served in large mugs. I also ordered a Carrot Cake Muffin and it was very good. It was moist, each forkful had a decent amount of walnuts, and the frosting was exquisite. Once you're finished with your food, don't forget to stroll through the entire cafe. You'll probably find something that will pique your interest. Either way, try to make time to enjoy it all.

I did get the crème brûlée latte and my husband got a black coffee. It was good but I don't think it was worth the pricing it was plus service was a little off.

Either they just had a huge party in here right before I came or they don't sweep the floors. And right now I am the only person in here except one other. Coffee stirrers, food crumbs, hairballs, dust by 4 different tables I moved to. A bunch of rock salt from the snow which is understandable from people tracking it in. But someone should be sweeping the floors here for the food and dustballs at least once in awhile. There are two employees up front doing nothing but chatting with each other. Just makes you think if they don't do basic floor sweeping, how clean is all the other food operations here?
