    English breakfast tea
    Hope L.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered an English breakfast tea. It was $3.50 and I was honestly pretty disappointed as it was literally just a tea bag and hot water. They didn't put any milk or sugar in it and didn't even offer it. The tea was way too hot to drink and I had to wait 15 minutes before I could sip it. When I was finally able to drink it, it was lacking so much flavor and was super bland. I ended up taking 5 sips of it and throwing it in the trash. Super disappointed as it was expensive and not worth it.

    Salmon Power Bowl
    Veronica L.

    Local Montclair sandwich & salad cafe. Came here after my usual nail appt because I'm starving. Decided to go for the healthy option and got the salmon power bowl. Removing a star because the salmon was delicious but for $21 I feel like the size of the salmon was a smidge too small for what you pay for. The amount of avocado was also pretty paltry. The rest of the bowl was generous with the super thin slices of cucumber, cauliflower rice, edamame, and slices of fennel, red cabbage, and onion were plentiful. It's nice they have individually wrapped compostable utensils and tapatio packets for those that like more spice in their food. The Rishi tea packet selection was also impressive, as was their pastry and cookie selection. Their to go fridge has a good collection of grab and go items. Will come back to try the Asian Salad and their chicken salad sandwich.

    Iced Matcha latte
    Jenny T.

    I was in Oakland and wanted to get a matcha since I'm not a coffee drinker and saw this place appear and had. Finding the place wasn't too hard since the door is literally the name of the shop, a Yellow Door! It was made it very unique and it was nice and clean inside. They offered a variety of drinks and food. I really wanted to like my drink due but I have to say it was probably the worst matcha latte I ever had. I saw the barista prepare the drink and noticed he used a lot of milk, which watered the whole drink and I did not taste a hint of matcha. I would not come back for the matcha but may be open to check out the food options in the future if I'm back in the area.

    Ambiance: Cute inviting locale in the Montclair Village that has both cafe style seating to have a coffee date with a friend and high bar stools with marble desks and nice accents that makes it feel very homey inside. The big windows and sunroof allow for natural light to illuminate the space which is a great change of pace if you're stuck inside all day. You'll be tempted by all the pastries and to go options behind the glass displays that it'll perk up your hunger just standing in line. Service: this place is very popular and you'll most likely see a line but it moved quickly. The workers are welcoming and work very quickly. Food came out after about 5-10 minutes after ordering. They forgot to add in the lentils and quinoa to this for my plate so that sucks. Food: Special Bowl: (4/5) Off-menu item that is a good mix of arugula, butternut squash, pita chips, and hummus. The pita chips provide a much needed crunch to this otherwise soft food dish. The butternut squash will add some carbs while you'll get half your daily need of greens from the arugula. I heard you can dress this up with hot sauce and while I didn't do this I agree it could use something to liven it up a bit. I didn't get to try it with the quinoa or lentils but otherwise a good option to try, I would prefer to try other things though. Breakfast sandwich: (4/5) eggs, sausage, cheese, English muffin. Nothing fancy here but what separates this above others is the smoky romesco sauce. Almost like a tapatio but a little more smoke to it really makes it special. They toast the bread nicely so you get a crunch texture to the muffin without burning it. Would certainly get it again.

    Chicken Buddha bowl, salmon Buddha bowl, iced latte with vanilla, chai latte

    Came here to fuel up after a workout. The salad was good. I liked the salad dressing and the mix of toppings. Iced latte was also good. We got the coconut brown butter cookies as well and it was good! And I normally don't like dried coconut but it worked well with the cookie.

    Amazingly tasty chicken  salad sandwich

When they saw us trying to get in with our giant strollers, they ran over to open the door and move chairs out of the way, they all came over to say hi to the babies, another guest gave us tiny delicious cheesecakes she's made (presumably for some group hangout happening there at the same time), and the owners were absolutely lovely. We don't know a ton about tea, and he picked a lovely one for us. Totally a place to sit, relax, and try one of what looks like hundreds of tea options. If you know anything about tea, I suspect they can talk to you the way sommeliers talk to my husband about wine. Thank you for being so wonderful! We are just practicing getting out of the house and this was a perfect place for us!

Sophie's is like that, but for tea. I explained that I like genmaicha, roasted oolongs, lapsang suchong and the proprietor offered me two choices and I picked Cinnabar. And what a good choice it was! I've never had a tea like this and I loved it. Sophie's is an excellent spot for a tea lover to enjoy a cup.

The restaurant itself is so well decorated and even has a fireplace. It's only downstairs the upstairs seems to be all storage. The outside was also set up cutely but it was pretty windy. The staff was all super lovely, even though it was crazy busy and there were a bunch of people waiting that staff was amazing and got us in and out of there in no time. The food even came super quick. The food itself was a bit of a let down but I'm not giving up! I got the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. The chilaquiles themselves were pretty soggy and not much flavor. There was a light tomato flavor but not enough to make it amazing. They did have a lot of extra condiments which I appreciated but cholula could only save them so much. Even the eggs they were pretty tasteless I had to load them up with pepper. That being said they were very soft and moist.

    I live in this neighborhood so I can get to Full Belly Bakery within a 15 minute walk. There are a…read morebunch of different bakery options in the area, this place is added to the mix. They're in a location that used to be a Subway. I've only have their cookies, I'm a sucker for good cookies. I particularly recommend their Peanut Butter Miso (a flavor I don't think you can get at a lot of places, sweet savory), and Ginger Molasses. I've also been supporting them because they're part of the Rewards Network Dining. I subscribe to the program to get Alaska/Atmos points on qualified dining, and I'm trying to get as many points as I can, so dining with restaurants as part of that program is helpful. You can order full cakes as well as they have slices avaialble for purchase. I got a tiramisu slice for my mom, which she said she liked. Good addiiton to the neighorhood.

Their primary focus appears to be on their special order cakes-which look amazing. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. After asking a few questions, I decided on the Passion Coco cake($5) and the Brown Sugar Pecan scone ($3.50). I enjoyed the Passion Coco cake slice. The coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry flavors worked well together, although the passion fruit flavor was very subtle. The sponge was cake moist, and the butter cream was spot on with its melt-in-your-mouth creamy texture. The Brown Sugar Pecan scone was good, but it had more of a dense muffin texture than a traditional scone, and the flavors were a bit muted. They did not skimp on the pecans though, which was nice. I would have enjoyed bolder flavors and a more traditional scone texture. Overall, I found that the walk in options are limited, but a great spot for locals to stop in and pick up tasty baked goods-and I would definitely order one of their beautiful and delicious looking cakes for a special occasion.
