The TV playing a PBS program is from 2003, but it's more about the food right? Good selection of menu items, from salads to soups sandwiches and smoothies. Pricing is based on weight of the salad, so I was a little taken aback that two salads (add avocado), and two seltzer's were just short of $30. The place is nestled in the plaza close a bookstore, coffee shop, and several delis of varying flavors. So they do have some competition and without any outdoor seating available I think it's a rough time for them. However, right across the way is a little park with benches and a few tables, so you can sit and eat safely. I imagine they handle a lot of delivery and takeaway orders. Bottom line is the food is fresh, flavorful, and I'll be back for a good salad.

Their Matchas were being consistently ordered. It shows they really thought through the flavors of their menu. The salad was fresh and delicious. The peri peri pork sandwich was salty, but fiance and was hungry. Parking is a hassle in this location. Despite the lack of, they are always moving with a line every few minutes. The line goes so quick with all of the staff members assisting, that you don't even wait too long. Certainly much faster if you order beverages and already made items like pastries, fridge items and their cyo bowls or side option if your looking to be in and out. Looking forward to our next lunch date here!

Their pita chips to go with the hummus are excellent. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I can honestly say I am in there weekly. I also started buying their dinners for two, which consists of an amazing rotisserie chicken. Whatever special spices they use, it is magic. You also get a salad, pita, hummus and chocolate chip cookies. I have now put that in my dinner rotation.

Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

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!

Great food, excellent service and a very class ambiance. This time we had shrimp and grits, Latin tribute tamale and fried chicken and grits. All great dishes. A whole showcase of desserts, but we got here too late and they were cleaning it up for the day halfway through our meal. (Our loss) Gonna keep it short because I've been away for a while and need to catch up on my reviews. Bottom line... do try MMAM. I'm sure you'll love it. Yes... it's a BYOB!

I was seriously craving an ube latte after being pretty disappointed by the one at Starbucks, so I…read moredid a little Instagram digging and found this spot. Safe to say--it was worth the trip. It's located in NJ and parking was super easy since they have their own lot. I stopped in on a quiet Wednesday morning and the space was really cute and welcoming. There are a few chairs, plus a cozy little lounge area by the front window with pillows that makes it feel like a nice spot to relax for a bit. I ordered the ube latte with matcha and grabbed a coconut macaroon for a quick snack. The latte was great--the ube flavor was just right, and the touch of matcha complemented it really well. I wish I had more time to stay and try some of their hot food, so I'll definitely be coming back to sample more of the menu soon! Thank

We brought it back home and the cutlet was still plenty warm and the romaine was cold and crunchy. My coworker and boyfriend suggest getting some extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping. The place was cutie pie - I liked that they were playing good music and had a silly book of animals I could browse at while I waited for the food to be ready. There was an altercation of two couples yelling at each-other and causing a fuss. Lowkey I wish the manager would have refused service to all 4 of them because why were they being absolutely terrible at 1pm on a Saturday. Not kicking them out promotes they can act like that and have no repercussions. But anywho guess the sandwiches are worth fighting over. I will be returning!

The size is so much bigger in person vs. shown online, so come hungry or be prepared to pack leftovers. They're a bit hard to eat like a sandwich so we had to use a fork and knife to cut it up into smaller pieces. I can see why people get a side order of dressing as it could be a bit dry - would recommend doing so (some people get buffalo sauce).
