Great gift store in Upper Montclair. The service is always very friendly…read more I can always count on finding a great gift for my mom or grandmother there. While much of the store is not exactly my taste, they do have very pretty items which have universal appeal. They carry lots of great lines, like Michael Aram, Juliska, Simon Pierce and Vera Bradley. They do wedding registries, and usually get to know the brides and their tastes -- so even if you don't find something in your budget on the bride's registry, they will suggest something else she might like. Overall, a friendly home decor & gift shop, with great personalized service.

The service is always great. They have a good variety of flowers and plants....i buy mums in the fall so they have a huge variety. During the fall they have hay bales and corn stalks which are also reasonably priced. They have plenty of pumpkins and yard decorations as well. Bringing items to your car is easy because they provide wagons to cart your purchases around in as you shop. They also provide rope if you need to tie something to the roof of your truck. The plants I have bought always last the fall and are in good shape. There is always help available if you need. Great nursery.

Great customer service, helpful tips, friendly suggestions on items to choose from but no pressure felt. Ended up getting something from the store and so far really loving them.

(By the way, just to insert the prices are better than Home Depot. I paid for a little shrub more at Home Depot than I would've here.). I really wish I would've found out this place sooner after wasting so much money on crappy privacy trees online that arrived very sparse to say the least. Look for Jerry he is so very nice and helpful. I couldn't have gotten a better person to guide you through the process of plant selection especially as a new time beginner thank you Jerry so much for all of your expertise. You are an absolute treasure and an amazing human being. God bless you.!!!!!!

The best! I moved to Verona about a year ago and luckily this place is down the street from me…read more Sometimes I walk there just to see what they have for the season. The flowers I've purchased from here seem to last longer and grow larger than other garden centers. The prices are not outrageous like some other garden centers as well. It feels nice to not only support a local business but also get a product that is better from a large-chain box store as well. They also have a pretty large selection of seasonal produce, such as jersey tomatoes in the summer Honestly the best part is that in the fall they have really cute farm animals that you can visit!

Great place to get some local flowers and gardening options. For the fall they have a wonderful…read morepumpkin assortment. Prices are moderate, flower quality is pretty good. Inside they offer different types of flower options as well as veggies and fruits. The green house has locally grown plans and flowers that are nice. It also features a coy pond which is nice. Don't expect to spend more than 30min here. They have a "petting zoo" but usually houses 1 or 2 animals. A baby cow was the featured animal when I visited. Staff is friendly, family owned, don't expect super quick service. They do everything themselves here. Great to take kids or someone who is interested in building their garden. This location has many options. Enjoy your visit! I know I did!

I love plants but have never constructed my own masterpiece, I'd rather buy what someone has put together or simply hire a landscaper. After several visits to Brookside, this city girl that has only known concrete officially has a green thumb. The staff at Brookside are extremely helpful. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Leroy and he was able direct me to the most beautiful plants the store had to offer. He was very knowledgeable about gardening and the life spans of all of the flowers and plants. He encouraged me to make lovely pots at home. What a clever salesman. The prices were reasonable which also encouraged me to buy more. The cashier and office staff were also very cordial. This seems to be a well ran family business (I don't know, just guessing). I come here often for two reasons: customer service and fair prices. A great local business that proved to me a rose can grown from concrete.

1. Bed: The gaines comfort sleeper bed seems fine although I got the upgraded mattress (Queen…read moreMattress Type × 1) but some guests still require a mattress topper. 2. Seat: the seat sags at the edge of both arm rests because the retractable bed does not expand out to the edges. I told Urban Natural about this and that the only solution i have found so far is to stuff a sheet into the gap where the sofa cushion is sagging as it meets the arm rest. 3. Service: fairly good response from Urban Natural but the moving team damaged two door frames when moving this sofa in and more than a month after alerting Urban Natural there is still no plan for compensation and repair.

It was 5 degrees outside and I needed a place to chill for an hour while I waited for a friend…read more Lit Cafe was close by and looked really nice so I headed inside. Lit Cafe's name has a double meaning that I appreciated. The obvious meaning aside, the "Lit" also refers to many items for sale on several shelves distributed throughout the cafe. These items range from reusable cups to cocktail infusions to special jam from the MET. This gives it an air of being more than just a cafe but also a place of culture. The interior of the cafe is beautiful. Light wood, beautiful sunlight pouring in from the large windows running along one side and gentle lighting that instantly made me feel comfortable and welcome. I ordered a Dirty Chai and a scone. The staff was super nice and efficient. After my items were ready I headed to sit down and chill. I was really surprised that after about a half hour the staff didn't try to rush me but to be fair, there was plenty of seating that early in the am so I was able to spend about 45 minutes there (to be fair, it took me about a half hour to finish my scone and drink). Also points to the cafe for playing super chill music that created a great vibe and a volume that didn't make my skull rattle. Also, while I did not use it I am pretty sure I saw another customer using a rest room so I think there is one for customers (but you may want to double check for yourself if you visit). I loved my visit to Lit Cafe and look forward to going back during my next visit to Montclair!

Ordered: Vanilla Latte (~$6)…read moreCarrot Cake Slice (~$5) Aya's take: Tucked away on beautiful Church Street, Lit Cafe is a minimalistic cafe with a clean aesthetic and classy interior. There's a few tables and can probably seat 10 people comfortably. They were out of lavender so I opted for the Vanilla Latte. It was creamy (almost fluffy), the espresso was bold and balanced, and the latte was soothing and lightly sweet. I also got the Carrot Cake Slice which was a good try but didn't stand out. Sadly, I was not served in one of their cute cups; mine just had a sticker on it (not sure why since they did have them). Nonetheless, good try and I'd come back if I'm back in Montclair.
