I have been going to this place since I moved to Montclair in 2018. This is by far my favorite LBS in the area. This shop excels in every aspect that a cyclist could hope for. Their service is consistently top-notch--every visit feels personal and professional, with the staff going above and beyond to meet your needs. The selection of bikes, gear, and accessories is fantastic. Whether you're a casual rider, a commuter, or a seasoned roadie, they have something for everyone. Their knowledgeable bike mechanics are truly some of the best in the business. They not only fix problems efficiently but also take the time to explain the work being done and offer advice on how to maintain your bike for peak performance. On top of all this, their prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of service and products they provide. You never feel like you're overpaying, and they often help you find the best options within your budget. It's clear that everyone at Montclair Bikery genuinely cares about cycling and their customers. If you're in the area and need anything bike-related, this is the place to go. P.S. They also occasionally organize rides but with my silly schedule I haven't been able to attend one yet. Fingers crossed for the future. read more

Bought my bike here. I only go to them for maintenance. They really care about doing a good job and I trust them 100%

Had a great experience picking out a bike here. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, not pushy with the sale. He was willing to show us different options when we asked and lent his opinion where needed. Allowed us to take our time and ride the options around the block. We never felt rushed despite the shop being busy on a Saturday. read more

Good energy! Very helpful and I recommend beginners to visit place to ensure you get a bike that works for your skill level read more

This shop did a quick hub fix for us. We thought we would need new components but they were able to clean out what we provided and make it run good as new. Definitely appreciated that they didn't over sell us on services we wouldn't have needed. read more

5 Star Wrench. I brought my bike in for a new chain and, Joe, one of the mechanic, thoroughly inspected my entire bike, including measuring my disk rotors & pads, tire wear, etc. and then made solid recommendations as to what needed to be worked on. They even upgrade the firmware on my Di2. When I picked up my bike, it was as perfect as the first day I rode it. Couldn't recommend the Montclair Bikery more highly. read more

Excellent shop with well trained staff. Bought a Specialized road bike this spring and am very satisfied with the bike as well as the fit.

We've bought about 4 or 5 bicycles from this establishment as well as many accessories like helmets, child seats, and other safety gadgets. I for one liked the old store better but the new store is very nice. read more

I felt like I stepped back into the stone ages the way I was treated here as a woman. I used to be a mountain biker when I was younger, but now being a Mom, I went here for a cruiser, and the attitude was one of condescension--I was even referred to as "her" with a flick of the wrist. But overall, I feel as if the store lied to me and I have seriously bad feelings about my experience here. I had been waiting for a specific bike model and they kept telling me that they had no idea when it would be in...and as they are the only bike store nearby who carries Trek, I stuck with them. After weeks of calling and waiting (during which the sales guys pretended to have no idea what I was talking about--I'd have to explain myself and wait for a long time to get a response), I bought a bike model because spring was arriving, but it was not the one I originally wanted. Well lo and behold, driving by the store the very next week, I see the bike I had been asking for sitting in front of the store on display. I nearly killed myself pulling the car over. When I asked for an exchange, I was refused--"I can't sell a used bike, I'd take a hit on this," the owner said. Clearly, they wanted to get rid of their stock. I felt taken. Diamond Cycle is terrific. They don't sell Trek, but they have many good options and are really nice to everyone. The older I get, the more I realize that's what really matters anyway. read more

thanks so much to all the guys at the Bikery for locating my new SWorks Venge Sagan #67/250. They got the bike shipped and built in no time and fitted up to my current bikes dimensions perfectly! Now back again to get my older Tarmac as perfectly fitted read more

I bought my first road bike ever from this shop two summers ago (2011). The staff was friendly and understanding of my needs and set me up with the right bike without trying to oversell unnecessary accessories to a rookie biker. Since then, I've gone back every now and then for a tune up or an accessory and I've had nothing but positive experiences. I once brought in my bike in without an appointment and they brought it downstairs for a tune-up even though they were pretty busy and could have told me to come back later. All in all, I spent a lot of money on the Trek I purchased but I'm not sure that it would have cost me less anywhere else. The accessories, on the other hand, are a bit steep and can be found online for much cheaper. That's no surprise, but it's the one thing holding me back from giving this place 5 stars. read more

I'd like to share some experiences that speak to the essence of good service and how to develop customer loyalty. A few years ago, I returned to cycling and had an opportunity to purchase a bike at a deep discount through my corporate program. Since I was was not up-to-date on current specs and technology, I visited the Montclair Bikery and was very upfront with the owner about why I was there. I showed him the specs and price for the bike I was looking at and asked if he felt spending a little more would get me something even better. He went online to look at the bikes he sells and told me that I would have to spend hundreds more for one with comparable specs. He said the bike I was considering had very good entry level components and he recommended buying it. The exchange was friendly and encouraging, which made quite an impression on me. That one experience alone compelled me to return to the Bikery when I was restoring my wife's vintage bike and needed parts. Their service team was very accommodating and provided everything I needed at reasonable prices. I have since been back a number of times for relatively small purchases, but each time I've visited, I have had some great conversations about cycling, local routes, etc. Anthony in particular is one of the nicest guys around and clearly has a passion for the sport. I recommended that my daughter buy a first helmet for my granddaughter at the Bikery and she said the staff was patient and a lot of fun to work with. I think the fact that I have had these experiences without making a large purchase is what separates the Bikery from many local bike shops. It shows that at any level, they want the customer experience to be positive and they understand how this leads to loyalty and word-of-mouth recommendations. When it's time for me to upgrade from my hybrid to a more serious road bike, the Bikery will be my go-to shop. Anyone who has been in business knows that problems arise from time to time, people make mistakes, and customers may leave unhappy. It is how those issues are handled that truly defines the character of the business and its owners, so I would encourage anyone who has had a negative experience to give the Bikery another shot. You'll be glad you did. read more

Best experience buying my daughters first bike. The staff was super friendly, they made my daughter feel special measuring her and then adjusting the seat until it was the right height for her to ride on. Bonus they have bagels and coffee out for customers while you wait. First class service and the prices are the same as any other bike shop. read more

This is one of the best bike shops in Montclair. I ordered a bike and called them to put together. They not only took me in on a somewhat busy day-- they put my bike together in a couple of hours. They also have a good selection of bells, baskets, and other accessories. Montclair Bikery was helpful in providing information on my new bike as well as advising on accessories. They were incredibly thorough and have a text message system for when your bike is done being serviced. I had a light on my bike that they installed and they added in the batteries for me. Very kind, and extremely detailed staff. They go above and beyond. Even though this bike shop is a little farther from my house this will be the first one I go to for any of my biking needs. I did visit the other bike shop in town on Bloomfield Ave and was not pleased with their service or selection. read more

I've bought multiple bikes here, the last one about a week ago for my son (x-mas present). This time I knew what I wanted and they had it in stock (they have a good stock of product, they always seem to have what I need), they were super-friendly and sales process was seamless (the bike was even on sale). When I went to pick up the bike, they were again super-friendly, did a final check of the bike to make sure all is in good working order and I was on my way. I'll continue to shop here as they make the buying process easy, service is great and friendly and they sell great products. read more

We were hanging out in Montclair and decided to check out the local bike shops. We needed to get our growing boys some new bike helmets. The woman assisting us was so helpful. She explained exactly how a kids' helmet should fit and offered a few different options. They had a good selection of Specialized, Trek and Bontrager helmets. We decided to go with the Specialized. I can't imagine a bike shop employee being any more helpful. I strongly recommend this shop. read more

We had just moved to Montclair and Tammy was awesome in helping us pick the right bikes for us! We were able to try several models and laugh with her about how indecisive we were with the color - We got two Townies with child seats and absolutely love our bikes now! read more

To be truthful, I don;t know much about bikes. But I do know great HONEST customer service when I get it. These guys are the best! We will definitely be back. Thanks Montclair Bikery! read more

Great staff and very accommodating. Brittany tried so hard to find shoes in my size. The store was busy and there was a race going on but she gave me her undivided attention. Very friendly and a place to shop. It's just a bit of a haul. I'd recommend if you're in the area. read more

I almost didn't go here due to the reviews on here but I support local when I can so I stopped in the buy a bike for myself and my wife. I did research online prior and their prices matched the MSRP for Treks. The five stars come from when I returned to pick up the bikes and Tony was beyond helpful. He was kind enough to hook up the bike rack I purchased to my car and secure both bikes. He also clued me in to some local trails. Everyone else in here was helpful and polite as well. Maybe they were crummy in the past or maybe these reviews are skewed and filtered. Who knows. I would definitely recommend going here to others. read more

My family recently brought a bike here for service and at first told that they didn't have time then and that we should come back. Which was fine and so 3 days later I came back and gave them two weeks to fix the bike and low and behold the bike was not fixed and in fact told us that they had gotten back up. Two week should have been long enough time to service the bike. The cost of the parts was about $100 and the service was roughly $150. So they said to come back later to see if it could still be done that day or not. They were working on it then (right before close)and so it took them less then 3 hours to fix the bike and yet not only were they late they refused to acknowledge that they did anything wrong! After all that they charged even more money then the original quote. Stay away. Poor Customer Service and expensive! read more

The team at Montclair Bikery was knowledgable and super helpful regarding cost-effective options. My son's bike was in desperate need of a tune-up and then some. IF I wanted to bring the bike "back to life" the cost added up greater than the cost of the bike. The team worked to bring down the cost and considered options for the bike to grow with my son for the next year before he outgrows it and needs a new one. I love the off-street parking and help to and from the car. read more

Completely overpriced for service. They charged my wife $15 each for two children's bikes to tighten a single brake on each. Literally took 60 seconds. Most neighborhood places would do it for free. The toddler scooter was $20 to buy, $15 to tighten the brake. Do NOT recommend. I now see other reviews and wish we checked before going here. read more

I have been here on a umber of occasions over the past three years, and my wife and I have purchased three bicycles from the shop. We have always felt that they were very helpful with the selection and test rides and finding a proper fit. Some commentary here mentions a lack of attention by the staff... My experience with that is simply this: it is a small business, and the few employees that work there often do find themselves between customers and the telephone. On one hand, I could say it is frustrating that when I am there I am not treated like I'm the only customer in the world... But that is so pretentious. On the other hand, I am happy that they are constantly getting pulled in different directions by different people! That is the greatest assurance that they will succeed into the future and I am very hopeful that they do.. In this world that Amazon is doing its best to destroy. Anyway, we are happy with the business. ; ) read more

This is the bike shop you MUST go to. The owner David and his staff are excellent, professional and helpful in assisting you to find the right bicycle and accessories for your needs. I have now purchase seven bikes over the last 10years from them as my kids continue to grow into new sizes. It is made easier because they do accept trade-ins for the brands that they sell. The service staff will keep your ride moving properly and they offer custom fitting to your bike (for a fee). This is definitely the type of small business that should be supported. read more

I just pickup a Specialized Epic MTB. Great build by Ben Douglas. Had more fun in the woods on this monster. Thanks Bikery read more

Great place that with a professional service and sales staff. Caters to very serious riders as well as parents buying their child's first bicycle. If you want it, they'll build it. Good selection of accessories. Service crew is friendly and knowledgeable, even if they're swamped with work. read more

Had a transaction with Dave who was very nice and helpful. Great service and communication. I came from manhattan and it was not a long ride from penn station... Highly recommended. read more

I recently purchased a new bike, and like my last 3 bikes, I counted on the team at the Bikery to help me get the perfect shiny new machine. I had a LOT of questions! That's just me though, and so had the opportunity to speak with probably the entire staff at one point or another and got really helpful advice from everyone. Dave who owns the place, help me decide on the best frame for my abilities, and got me started with options for all the components. With help from Tammy and Dave and a lot of patience from Anthony, I picked the partz for what I hoped would be a fun bike to ride. Anthony in particular really got me to "think" about details that shaped decisions about component selection that are going to change my thinking on my riding! Once all the parts showed up, the team in service got my new bike together in short order, Dave C in service has worked on other members of my fleet of bikes, so I knew the build would be perfect, BUT of course I have questions, Ken (service manager) and his team in service, like the team in Sales had all the answers for me. Ultimately, my bike was perfect and all the details taken care of. Now I have an amazing bike that puts a smile on my face whenever I ride it (and often even when I don't). As a follow up, I decided to have a full fit session with Anthony (spent a good bit of money for my budget on the bike, should spend a few to make sure the fit is perfect!) The process is a few hours, questions and answers, flexibility tests, pedaling on the bike, video capture, video review, you get the idea! Well after all of that, the adjustments were pretty small (I had a fit done about 2 years ago, so had been using those numbers/measurements), but man, what a difference in the on the bike "feel"! Money and time well spent with the Bikery Team! read more

Friendly, accommodating, not sure if this is family owned but either way it has that mentality when interacting with customers. Huge fan of Montclair Bikery and highly recommend! read more

The guys downstairs, in the service shop are GREAT! Considering I did not purchase my bike from them and only needed an assembly, I was pleasantly surprised that they took so much time to inform me of every detail of the bike and my safety. Blake was especially helpful when he discovered the fork was bent and although they could put it together "as is" it would not benefit me in the long run. As for the store front shop....OHH BOY! Whoever that lady is....she is horrible! I am glad I gave the shop a second chance after that encounter! I wonder if she realizes how rude and stand off-ish she really is! read more

I went back because our youngest is getting ready to get a balance bike. It's a completely different crowd than it was just a few months ago which makes me think that the high turnover is contributing to the negative reviews I just finished reading. Anyway, they were helpful (in spite of the fact that there were really only two options, and I felt like both were pretty expensive) and helped me make the decision (I'll probably just get something on craigslist or freecycle) They're not rude and they certainly aren't sexist like Sandy seems to think! As local bike shops go, they're definitely a cut above! Thanks, guys! read more

Recently bought a new road bike and appreciated the attentive service from the entire team. Everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, willing to answer any questions I had about the bicycle and bicycling in general. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Montclair Bikery! read more

They solved my chain problem within minutes, and with no charge. Everything is OK with my old bike right now! Their services are economic but proficient! read more

We are avid road cyclists who have used the shop extensively for both repairs and building bikes. Staff is either smug, juvenile, or dismissive of suggestions and has several times charged for repairs that were irrelevant. read more

Great customer service! The mechanics are very helpful and always do extra on your bike if you need it !

The Bikery is the best local bike shop around. The staff are diverse and all very knowledgeable. It's always a friendly place whether your buying one of their beautiful bikes or just looking around. If they don't have what you want - just ask and they'll get it. The bike servicing staff are experienced, professional, fun, and friendly. They give back to the community in many ways and host/sponsor rides. Enough said - just go there ... always. :-) read more

Stopped to check on their cleats for my speedplay pedals. People working in the store ignored me. Then an older woman (maybe owner) who approached me to help me was cold, smug and unfriendly. Needless to say I chose not to buy my cleats there. I have gone to nicer bike shops even if they are farther from me, like High Gear Cyclery in Millburn. They are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable and sell a nice variety of bikes. I will do all my shopping there from now on. I bought my cleats there instead. read more
