    I love the vibe of this space, the people are great, the food and drinks are excellent.

    This is a charming spiritual and wellness cafe that offers something I have never seen before. They do a water purification, then remineralization process using crystals. After hearing a detailed explanation, I did a "water tasting." As I have never enjoyed New Jersey tap water, the difference and improvement in taste was very evident. They offer a variety of coffees and teas, but I chose one of their Chakra elixirs which are fruit and/or vegetable infused waters. There is a cozy seating area and a small gift shop. Thought in Motion is definitely a unique place! The owner and her assistant were friendly and informative. I will definitely return the next time I am visiting Montclair!

    Believe the hype, this energized water taste different. It's crisp, clean and the store has a positive vibe. I usually say a few mantras and prayers to compliment my intake. Take a few breaths and continue on with your day with zen. This is also a comfortable wfh location with relaxing seating and no to many distractions. They serve other drink items and small bites. I can't speak to the Crystal element of the store but I love the water.

    I am stuck between two and three stars. I was far from a fan of the dark chocolate hot chocolate with the nut milk blend, although I couldn't imagine it tasting much better with any other kind of milk as it essentially just tasted like a cashew. I digress, texture was so smooth, and the shop has a lovely atmosphere to it. But that just didn't justify spending $9 (with tip) on this drink. I stopped by Dunkin to grab some sugar packets in hopes of making it palatable. Perhaps i'm just not a real dark chocolate person, but my friends mocha latte had the same bland nutty notes.

    This was the most fun I have had in NJ in a long time. The place is super cute- the decor is welcoming and lures you in. I met a friend there, and we shared the flight of infused water elixirs- seven of them spanning the rainbow of seven chakras, served in cute little bottles arranged in a metal tray. Visually, it was beautiful. We poured each of the little bottles into our two little cups, clinked our glasses, and then tried to figure out what these colorful liquids were flavored with by smelling them first and then tasting them. This was super fun and suitable for anyone of any age and for people who do not drink alcohol. I felt energized and stimulated by the experience. All the water in this place's drinks and food is infused with the energy of crystals. I do not care if it was the power of suggestion- it was terrific. The people who worked there were friendly and nice. This was an unforgettable experience. I plan to bring my kid next time to share a flight of these waters. I also want to try the food, which all looks good. I love chia pudding, and that is on the menu. Everything is served in little jars. The lemonade that the people sitting next to us had looked delicious. Montclair is a fun town. I go there occasionally for different reasons, but I will remember this place and stop by whenever I am nearby. A perfect place to have a coffee date with a friend or hang out by yourself reading a book or working on your laptop. FIVE ENTHUSIASTIC STARS.

    Thought in Motion is a hidden gem... I can't believe this place doesn't have hundreds of reviews yet! I have been wanting to stop in here for the longest, but after months I was finally was able to make it in today. It has been calling to me..this place has such good vibes. Cool decor all over and plenty of seating and lounging areas. There's street parking as well as a lot in the back, which is extremely convenient. I sat at the Waterbar and had an amazing iced blueberry tea and got to chat with Joe (who is AWESOME) about the importance of water. He explained how their water is purified and how energy can change the form of water...I was amazed. All their drinks are made with the magical water right in the shop. You can purchase a jug for $30 and get refills for $2 after that. Aside from drinks, they have a small menu that offers food and light bites. I didn't get to try anything this time, but I will the next time I come in because it all looked so good. Aside from food and drinks, they offer "experiences". To sum it up, they are classes that help you learn about yourself and ways to improve areas of your life you feel you may be lacking in. I decided to go to the class they had today and it was only $30 for 45 minutes. Jennifer was really sweet and I actually learned some new techniques that I'll definitely implement in my day to day routine moving forward. All in all, I'm happy I actually made it in here finally. I'll definitely be coming back often and I'd like to attend another experience again. I highly recommend T.I.M.

    "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name." Thought In Motion Waterbar is an oasis in Upper Montclair. A lot of places can put positive affirmations on walls and describe themselves as wellness spaces, but no place earns this title more than Thought In Motion. Whenever I feel high stress or I'm just having an "off day", I make it a point to come here to relax. Sandy has been an absolute gem, and there is not a staff member there that will not take the time to greet you warmly and get to know you by name. They pay attention, a lost art form in the service industry. It's not just a location, it's a full experience. Their water goes through a 9 step filtration system. It is by far the cleanest tasting water you will ever have the pleasure of drinking. And this same water is used to prepare all of their drinks, so you can rest assured that the quality is top notch! They offer an array of wellness lattes, infused waters, and light bites. They even prepare their own almond, coconut, and cashew milk in house! The attention to detail and level of care is second to none. You are also more than welcome to peruse a small area of crystals, jewelry, and decor for purchase. There is plenty of comfortable seating to make you want to stay a while. Thought in Motion also lives up to its name by offering bi-weekly classes to sign up for to help coach your thought process using various icons as inspiration. I could go on and on, but I just truly love this place and all the people there that make it such a unique and special place to visit, and to return to often. Thank you, Thought In Motion Waterbar!

    This my my first time here sandy greeted me and welcomed me with a smile was super nice explained the menu to me and had me look over everything they have on the menu ! She also gave me a complimentary crystal water to try which was so fresh and crisp. I ordered 2 golden milk lattes and 2 turmeric shots . It was all so delicious. The vibes in there were so good and the smell of the oil they had going was phenomenal. It's a great spot To go to to relax read a book and take in some positive good energy and just feel good ! Definitely coming back here . Thank you for your exceptional s

    Clearest, cleanest, supremely pure water

    Waterbar. A slice of LA in Montclair! It's 2018, and it's time to care for ourselves on all levels. First and foremost, drinking plenty of purified water. Our bodies are 70% water, so make sense, right? What's super filtered water, you ask? I had lots of questions too. Water is filtered through 7 layers of micro screens, then remineralized through volcanic rock, then reenergized passing through shungite and rose quartz. Shungite is 98% carbon and has been proven to have antibacterial properties. Rose quartz is knows as the stone of universal love. Good vibes and positive communication gives the water a very pure, clean taste. Cafe itself is so beautiful decorated. Lots of wood, whitewashed book cases, crystals, couches, flowers and woven rugs. Inspirational loving quotes are all over, reminding us to love our selves and dream. All of the staff are incredibly caring and helpful. Positive communication is so important in our lives and it is very much practiced here. You will be transported! All of the drinks are made with the purified water. There is a small food menu with staples like salads and açaí bowls. Everything was so fresh tasting! If you are into healthy living, Creation Cafe is a must visit. Atmosphere and water are something I have only found here. Truly unique!

    See all
