I returned here seven years after my first visit. Four more doughnuts were tried. There seemed to more doughnut variety than I remember, but who knows. The actual doughnut base for all of these were ideal and had a nice balance with the toppings and fillings. Tres Leches - This was dipped in a vanilla bean glaze and soaked in triple milk cream with whipped cream and a cherry. This was tasty. I could not really tell it was three milks, but it was very moist and the cream was fulfilling. Lemon Raspberry Jam - This was a brioche doughnut with raspberry jam and was coated with a tart lemon glaze. This was solid. There was a ton of raspberry jam, and it was flavorful. I actually wanted more from the lemon glaze. The raspberry overpowered it just a little bit. Strawberry Shortcake - This tasted exactly like the frozen treat. I liked the crumbles on top, and it brought me back to eating the frozen treats back in the day. Chocolate Peanut Butter - This was my favorite one. There was a ton of peanut butter filling. It was not like most peanut butter filled doughnuts I had. I could not tell exactly what it was, but it was very good. The chocolate icing just nicely paired with that filling. read more

A treat on national donut day!! Toddler approved The service was great! The individual behind the counter was really attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to help our little baby who was quite warm due to the hot weather. Didn't catch their name...but thank you!! We got three donuts (sourdough chai, mocha, and vanilla sprinkle), an iced tea, an Arnold Palmer, a latte, and fig and walnut sourdough bread. We ate outside under the shade. Will definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to like it here but it fell short of our expectations. The matcha latte was great. However the cookies and cream donut was way too sweet and not good at all. Plus there were flies inside. The service was fine but we definitely won't be coming back. read more

Great donuts and pretty sizeable - brought 8 donuts for a team of 10 and it was more than enough. Will definitely be back when in Jersey! read more

This is a unique donut place as my only comparison is thousands of miles away in Osaka. First off, the highlight of this joint is the maple bacon and bourbon glazed donut. Both the bourbon and bacon flavors work off of each other and the sweetness of the icing, neither are fully present. What's created is sweet and salty combo with some flair. I highly recommend trying this, though it is sweeter than my perference. The icing on the pomegranate sourdough donut was too sweet though it enhanced the tanginess of the bread. It was hard to bit through, we ended up cutting into bit size pieces. As an experiment, I removed the icing from a standard donut and found the bread to be similar to holla or challah, except dryer. The croissant ended up tasting like a loaf of white bread. The layers were thick and not that much butter flavor came through. read more

We got an assorted box of donuts right before closing, and they were still really fresh! Their moccha donut was great and so was the strawberry one! The place itself has a nice aesthetic and enough space for seating. The staff was really nice and they keep the line moving when it's packed! read more

Staff was so nice and extremely helpful. Even on a snow day they were so kind and happy to help guide us on which donuts to choose from. The croissant was DIVINE. The place is not very spacious but it is cozy, clean and cute! Just enough space to eat a donut or a sandwich and head out! Really enjoyed this place and will definitely be back read more

The food itself is good, the coffee is coffee, but the staff seem blazed all the time. Aloof and no urgency or common manners in the service industry. Anything takes a year and a day for them to prepare as well. Food good but the service is terrible read more

Love their sourdough donuts. The sourdough fonuts usually have very interesting flavors. We got the Spice breakfast sandwich for the first time today and it was very good too. read more

Smells amazing as soon as you walk into the bakery! Ahhhh! On a Saturday, I got there around 10am, they had a line out the door. This line usually last until around 2-3. They do run out of their specialities doughnut. Get there early to see everything they have to offer! Around 2pm, they ran out of eggs. Not a big deal, but just be warned to get there early to try everything they have!! They do not have restrooms for customers. There are a few indoor seats. read more

Dropped by on a Saturday morning - the bakery was alive with cheerful families, but there wasn't a long wait. I was able to easily find street parking in front of the building next door. The donuts were amazing! I tried a fudge covered sourdough donut - the sweet, dense chocolate fudge was a great balance to the almost springy, soft, tangy sourdough of the donut itself. I've never had anything like it! I also got a maple glazed bacon brioche donut which was delicious as well. The brioche dough was soft and pillowy- the perfect yeast donut texture - and the ratio of dough to glaze was perfect for the sweetness of the maple. The smoky saltiness of the bacon on top was a delicious contrast. I definitely want to return and try other flavors next time I'm in the area! read more

I reserve this place as special treat to myself. The prices have gone up in the last year, as has the cost of everything. But the donuts are usually fresh, which has made the calories and the added cost well worth it. Today the service was subpar. I purchased two donuts. One, a glazed donut was taken from the rack of freshly made donuts. The second, a lemon raspberry filled glaze which the attendant took from the DISPLAY CASE. When I inquired as to whether it was fresh, the attendant affirmed yes. I can tell you neither was fresh, but the display case donut was incredibly stale and the fill was a bit sour. Definitely a waste of a cheat day and $10. SAVE YOUR MONEY and your time read more

Make sure to place your order online to confirm they have the flavors you are looking for. Plenty of parking on street and/or in side parking lot. Very nice/helpful staff and the donuts cannot be beat read more

First I asked for a mini Nutella I then place 3 Dollie's and 90 cents on the table he rejects me by saying my the 3.75 dollar donut is 4 and I'm ten under I ask if he can still let it slide he says no he tell me to do ten pushups then proceeds to say he was joking after I do it.but the boss then came in and corrected the cashier and we got free donuts read more

The best donuts in the area, hands down. Giant, sugary, and creative. The sourdough donuts were made for complementing coffee. I've had their egg sandwiches as well. The inside of the sandwich was good, but I was surprised to find the bread was the best part! When do you get an egg sandwich and the bread is that good?! They're always packed when I go, even on rainy days and during off-peak time. Sometimes they're out of something I wanted, but they always have something else I'd enjoy. The staff usually seems harried, like they need another person on the shift because of all their responsibilities. But they've never been rude or made mistakes, and I've even seen them chase down customers to make sure they don't forget part of their order. Outdoor seating on the front patio is nice! More places need a relaxed outdoor vibe. Egg sandwiches are $12. They're great, but I'm not sure how good an egg sandwich would have to be for me to be okay with spending $12 on it. Donuts are around $5, and they actually are amazing enough to spend $5 on. read more

I've had this place saved for years because I've seen so many good things about it. I was finally in the area so I decided to pop in this afternoon. All of the selections looked really good but I think they were already sold out of a few things. I ordered a tres leches donut because I'm a sucker for tres leches, and asked the employee for a recommendation between the sourdough doughnut options. He said he really liked the coffee one so I opted for that one. The doughnuts are massive and very pretty. However, the texture was off to me. Not quite stale, but they weren't as fluffy and soft as I hoped-- the texture resembled more of like bread, or like a Kaiser roll? Don't get me wrong, I love a chewy bread, but this wasn't really chewy in the right way to me either. The pastry cream on the tres leches was pretty tasty though, and the dough that was covered by the cream was softer. The sourdough also had a tangy flavor that was interesting, but I'm not sure it paired well with the coffee. read more

Stopped by Montclair Bread Company after breakfast and had an awesome experience. The bakery is super clean and as soon as you walk in the staff are super welcoming and friendly. All of the croissants, donuts and baked goods looked outstanding so it was hard to choose. I went with the classic pink frosted donut and it was absolutely delicious! You can taste the difference between a real donut like this and the stuff you get at Dunkin. I cannot reccomend Montclair Bread Company enough, and I'll be back to try their almond croissant! read more

They seemed understaffed for a busy Sunday afternoon -- only two people were working. The service used to be sooo much better and was awful today. The donuts are still insanely delicious but waiting 30+ minutes for an iced Americano is INSANE. Will not be returning anytime soon, sadly. read more

glazed doughnut was very good. nice and fluffy! sticky and sweet! love it :) apple cider doughnut was just ok. not my fav. the sugar was a little too much for me. but it wasn't terrible. i ate most of it. very friendly staff and so many others i want to try! read more

The bread, the donuts. Still miss the fish and chips- nothing will match that. Those donuts, omg, so so good. And the breakfast sandwich are so gooood. Just go. Stop dawdling and go. Let's keep our money in town and support our local businesses read more

Soon after their second store closed in our hometown, we stopped here hoping for the Breakfast Bombs we had loved at Gunkin. Not only did the attentive server admit this location never had them, the donuts - even the usually amazing Tres Leches - were not as good. I fully confess that a) Gunkin/Rabble Rise donuts were almost never sweet enough for this sugar addict, and b) my donut religion is cake, not yeast. Still, when we had tried their new cake ones, we both agreed it was like a piece of bread with no sugar. It almost feels like a place where diabetics can enjoy donuts. We may return when in the area to give this original location another chance, but in the meantime we will mourn the loss of the egg-cheese-veg bready "bombs" and the convenient friendly service in New Paltz. read more

I've always heard great things about this place, so I was really looking forward to trying it out, but unfortunately, it was a major letdown. We visited on a weekday mid-morning so it wasn't busy at all. Even still, the space felt completely cold and uninviting with more of a warehouse/storage-room feel than of a bakery. The service didn't help the experience either. The employee behind the counter didn't acknowledge us at all -- no greeting, no thank you, literally not a single word spoken -- and seemed visibly annoyed at our presence (I assume because it was dead prior to us coming in). Before we even closed out our transaction, she was back to sitting down on her phone paying us no mind. As for the donuts, I will say they did have a really nice flaky, croissant like texture that I really loved. The downside was that they were completely smothered in glaze, leaving the bottoms soggy, oily, and completely inedible. Overall, I don't really understand the hype around this place. I personally wouldn't recommend it and I definitely won't be returning. read more

Very good! Stopped in around 1:30pm on a Tuesday and the selection was still solid although I do feel things would be fresher early in the AM. Tried the Oreo, Tres Leche, and seasonal peach cobbler. The Oreo was delish, I ate that one immediately. I tried the other 2 later in the evening! They were just okay, little dry/underwhelming?Would absolutely love to stop back in! The young girl behind counter was very nice as well. Cute seating outside and parking is limited! read more

I feel bad that I didn't LOVE it here because I know this is a Montclair staple...but I felt the donuts were a little dry and not the best I've had.

I would like to come back and try the ice cream but I don't foresee myself rushing back for doughnuts. The aesthetic of the donuts are great. read more

This is a cute, artisanal shop in Montclair! Pros: - They make more than enough donuts! I've heard of many donut shops running out quickly, but we went around 11 am and they still had tons - They taste AMAZING!! I cannot say enough about how fresh these donuts are - The monthly flavors are done so well, they're original while also being generic enough for many to enjoy Cons: - While they taste great, almost $5 for a single donut is really overpriced (even for the area) - They changed the ordering structure so you have to order from an outside window, even if it's raining. There is indoor seating, but waiting in the rain is a bummer. Their old setup was easier to navigate. I would recommend checking this place out! read more

I came here for breakfast and had their sourdough donut, coffee and croissant. Everything was delicious and the service was great.

It has taken me way to long to finally come here as this place did not disappoint. I got a box of various doughnut and a yum bun and they were all delicious. The yum bun though was the star of the show with its pillowy texture, cinnamon bun flavor and delicious outer cinnamon sugar casing. I would drive the 20 minutes just for this little one! The donuts I got were great as well, a mixture of the sourdough and brioche donuts. The sourdough donuts were massive. You can definitely taste the sourdough bread in these and they had a consistency that was a cross between bread and donut, but still pillowy. The brioche donuts were a dream and nice and fluffy. The chocolate icing on the ones I had was rich and chocolate let just what you want. These were definitely delicious. My only complaints were the cost, as I got 7 donuts and it cost me over $30 (excluding my yum bun). while I know they are artisan, the flavors I got were not over the top they were just frosted so that's a little bit of a bummer. Also, some of the flavored icing donuts didn't have a bold flavor of what they were supposed to be, like the coffee dozed sourdough just tasted like sugary glaze on a donut pillow. However I would certainly come back for that yum bun and sit outside on their patio with a cup of coffee and basque in the glory of being in pastry heaven! If you want incredible quality donuts this is your spot. read more

Bread and donuts here are fantastic and they have decent coffee they bring in. My only issue is service, it takes too long. I don't know how many times I've walked in to purchase donuts that are already made and after I make the purchase, it takes them fully 10 to 15 minutes to give me donuts that are already out and ready to just pack in a box. read more

I'm very sad to give this place only 3 stars but i was not terribly impressed. they may be going through a renovation because the inside was very cluttered and waiting online for a busy saturday morning got confusing as people snaked around the floor. this is definitely a grab and go type of place. i came here solely for the doughnuts and while the flavors are fun and creative, i did not get the yeasty pillowy cloud doughnuts i was craving. they have a very dense structure. it's not necessary bad but its not what i expected. the tres leches was definitely the best and most creative but felt more like a dessert than a place to go for a morning pastry. read more

Got a peep doughnut and a cinnamon bun. Overall, this was underwhelming. There are no bold flavors, tastes mostly like bread. The bun was the most surprising since it looked awesome but was just mildly sweet and dry which was difficult to understand. Given that my gf says they have a rich history of being good we may have just gotten a bad batch this time. Looking forward to going back and trying something new. read more

I had this spot bookmarked to try for a while and I finally got to but was left a bit disappointed. I tried the tres leches, banana pudding, and horchata donuts.

For the cost, around $5 each I expected better unfortunately. read more

These donuts are truly impressive. I can eat well but four or five of these donuts make me satiated quick. They are super doughy and the sweetness is on a whole different level. Decent donut! Way better quality than Glaze donuts in Nutley but I would say there is less of a selection here. Tres Leches donut was the best in my opinion! Super creamy. It is safe to say that all the staff that I talked to were friendly and welcoming especially the cashiers. Not much seating in this restaurant but if it is a nice day out, I recommend sitting outside anyways. The interior gives off a factory vibe which I do not mind. read more

If you are looking for yummy doughnuts with soft brioche bread this is the place! I like the texture overall much more than the average Krispy Kreme or Donkin but all the doughnuts have pretty much same texture although they have different toppings or sometimes fillings. I wish they would change up the dough consistency a bit more. The churro was a miss for me did not give me Mexican dulce de leche churros feels which I love and find most authentic. However these are pretty good doughnuts from what we have around this area. One more thing, the Cold brew was like drinking battery acid! Horrible, the least smooth cold brew coffee I've EVER had, that was the only major disappointment out of my experience here, don't drink the cold brew. read more
