Stopped by for the first time to have breakfast with my husband. We really enjoyed our meal. It's a…read morevery casual place with a few tables to dine at. The space is small but comfortable. You order at the counter and the staff will bring your order today you. It comes in packaging ready to go which is convenient for leftovers. The staff was very nice. I ordered the omelette and customized it with egg whites, a berry crepe, and my husband had a breakfast crepe. The food was delicious and came out perfect. The crepes are huge and stuffed to the max. Definitely worth the value! Can't wait to try more crepe variations in the future! A couple of notes: It can get a little cold with the door constantly opening so dress warm if it's cold outside. Also, when they are busy, the kiosk constantly bings with new orders.

Came here early Sunday afternoon looking for breakfast, and this spot was it for the weekend…read more There's metered street parking, so that's no issue. There are several metal chairs and taxes out front. The spot was crowded, but jas customers in and out as I sat to eat my breakfast. I ordered the 3 eggs omlette with spinach, Swiss, and bacon with a large cappuccino. The cappuccino was large, so I'll order the small next time. But my omelet came with a butter crossaint, mixed green salad with a half slice of pineapple, and strawberry jam in a recycled brown cardboard container. The food was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt and courteous. I'm definitely adding this on my go-to list!!

First off, our server Larry was phenomenal. Genuine, funny, and gave us thoughtful recommendations…read more My partner and I came in for a 7pm reservation to sit at the bar area - one vegetarian, one vegan. Larry was very accommodating, and helped compose a vegan dish from the setup of another dish. He was considerate to recommend something that would feel "substantial" - something that I really appreciated. It's already a bit inconvenient to come up with a dish on the spot, but to go the extra mile by caring that it would be satisfying as a main dish was really very kind. And it turned out fantastic. This restaurant has so much going for it in the quality of its ingredients and dish compositions. I would encourage the chef to consider how the can apply their creativity to a dedicated vegan dish as well. There's a big world to explore in creating modern, high end, plant-based dishes and I think this restaurant would hit it out of the park ! :)

We opted for the cucumber salad and pate which were both very good. We then split the chicken as it five pieces and comes with shishitos, biscuits and coleslaw long with several sauces. The chicken was nice and crispy with plenty of flavor, and I found the biscuits to be quite good. For the price of $50 this is an amazing value. Service was excellent and very engaging.

The Brookdale 1099 Broad St…read more Bloomfield NJ 07003 The Big Cheese A member from my group page tipped me off about this location because I am currently working on a compilation reel about oversized menu items. This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors. I am truly sad to hear they will no longer be in business, but their three sister restaurants at 1109 Broad Street will still remain open. #thebrookdale #thebigcheese #bloomfieldnj

I ordered the big…read moremozz and a shrimp vodka pizza ; Both were real good but too much cheese for the two of us!!! Maybe a salad with the mozz stick woulda been better! Service was good and the restaurant with low lighting was a good vibe! Its split into a half bar and half dining area which i liked. Only complaint i can think of is they didnt have many options of beer on tap as they advertised on thier menu. Overall good experience would recommend!

This is a great spot to go because they have outdoor seating and I can eat with my dog in peace…read more I ordered the Cobb salad, which my fault but I should have asked for dressing on the side because it was definitely overdressed for my liking. The fries were nicely cooked and salted, but $8 was a lot for the amount given. $4 would have made more sense. And then yes, I'm even going to mention the iced tea. Because there are not very many restaurants I go to that offer a freshly brewed iced tea, which is one of my favorite drinks. It really makes the meal perfect and I appreciate a freshly brewed tea vs a canned one. Staff is nice and brought water for my dog too.

It's very much like an old diner, but more upscale. I ordered the kale and wheatberry salad, which was very good, especially as it had grapefruit on it. I would've liked if it had more pieces of grapefruit, as two was very little, and I also would've liked if they had a stronger vinaigrette to pair it with. My boyfriend, on the other hand, order the pancakes and make them chocolate chip chips, and I have to say those are by far the best pancakes I've ever had. They tasted sort of like a very moist cake, but not too sweet that it is overwhelming. We will truly be coming back and try more things from their menu, especially excited to try their dinner items.

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday while in town and loved my experience…read more Had a short fifteen minute wait and was seated at the bar near the window. The service was super attentive + the ambience felt like a true neighborhood spot with a cozy and hip interior. Started off with a DKA pastry and then followed up with one of their specials which was their take on a chicken Milanese paired with a buttermilk ranch topped salad. Both were really solid and were the perfect start for a day filled with exploring what Montclair had to offer. Definitely wouldn't mind stopping by again when passing through!

The racist owner, Jeff Munoz, grabbed me at the door because (in the middle of pouring weather), my…read moreumbrella had the audacity to be dripping. I'm literally running in to grab a drink that I called in, and to head out to my toddler's gym class. When I told him "hey, I'll be quick, I'm just running in to grab a drink" and I'm legit in a hurry because my car is idling outside, he raises his voice and yells at me and THEN instructs his staff not to serve me. Disrespectful. And I won't be back. I'll also make sure that Montclair's council hears about my experience, and everybody in nearby towns. It's not my first time hearing of their trash treatment of Black & Brown people, but I now know what those who have reported before me, experienced. I'll also be talking to Montclair PD about what my options are, since he grabbed me.

Best breakfast sandwich I've had. Hands down…read more Stopped by for a quick bite and ordered the pesto egg sammi along with a dirty iced chai. Sandwich was AMAZING. Perfectly cooked soft scrambled eggy goodness and incredible balance of flavor and texture. My fave kind of meal is when each ingredient has a purpose. Bun was toasty and still chewy and soft. Dirty chai was also yummy, not the sweet chai and not too strong of a spice taste. Don't walk- RUN. Space is adorable with plenty of seating. They have some high chairs for the kiddos too. Bright cherry and friendly staff. They said had a bunch of baked goods in addition to the menu with tons of options.

I've been in the area a lot more lately and decided it was time to try out another cafe. After looking through the glowing reviews, I thought this was a great spot. The decor was very plush and inviting. I tried their Spanish latte which wasn't as sweet as I'm used to but it still got the job done. I also had their burrata tomato toast with pesto and I've had better but still tasted delicious. I think it was missing a little olive oil or onion to bring it together. Overall would return for the service alone to get some work done and try their matcha.

I saw the good reviews so I was disappointed when I received my desserts. Most of the cake slices were around $7, but when I asked for a cheesecake or pistachio one, one slice was $13 which I found to be expensive so I did not get that one. My friends and I decided on 3 cakes: strawberry, Oreo, and chocolate. I don't think I will ever be returning - the cakes tasted old. The best way to describe it was a like it came from a chain supermarket - lacking flavor and not up to fresh quality. The only one that was edible was the chocolate slice. We felt so bad to have to throw away the other two cakes, but they were not good at all. It was a waste of money to pay so much for a slice and not eat it.
