HORRIBLE experience! I came with a friend on weekday morning for lunch. In 1/2 an hour the waiter came at least 20 times with "is everything ok". As we were hungry, we quickly finished our food and ordered extra coffee as we felt rushed but wanted to stay to chat. The waiter kept asking if everything was "excellent". I found my coffee to be no better than from my $100 nespresso machine, and avocado toast, tasty but very greesy. As we were drinking coffee, the OWNER came by and asked us to switch from the table to the bar stand as it was a BUSY morning. We stayed there less than an hour, at the most 45 minutes. After we "raised the brow" instead of sorry he said "DO NOT COME AGAIN " The very next day, I had lunch at Sullivan bakery in the city (incomparable in food and coffee to the Corner), very popular during lunch time. There was a long queue of people waiting for the tables, but no one was asked to leave. What a way to run business!!!

Dear god. The cornbread brisket BBQ hash and hollandaise sauce with eggs on top was one of the pinnacle moments in my life. The flavor seared/crisped into the meat reminded me of something that only a Texas backyard bbq could accomplish in terms of flavor. It was smoked perfection on top of the most interesting take on cornbread in a slight bed of drizzled thick sweet sauce (I could not decipher fully what it was) I urge you to come for this and an almond cortado.

The Corner is the go-to spot for brunch in Montclair. Be sure to arrive early to avoid waiting for 30+min. I love their quiche, omelettes and baked eggs. My kids love their pancakes with the best vanilla syrup. They make the best lattes, cortados and fresh pressed juices. Their 230p cookie is delectable but prob adds another 300 calories. You wont be disappointed with anything you order.

This place is great. Great coffee Great muffins. And the Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict is amazing. Ive been here several times and only once got something else. That was great, too, but I think it was a special and is not normally on the menu so I went back to that dish. Its so well balanced and well cooked every time. Add a little hot sauce for a kick - its delicious!

#GoodVibesOnly!! This cafe brings to life the message that illuminates in that neon sign on their wall. The staff, the music, the coffee, the FOOD all make you feel instantly upbeat. Its almost not possible to spend a couple minutes in there and not walk out feeling strangely better about the way the rest of your day is going to look, now! Keep it up!

I came here with my girlfriend for my birthday weekend and we both loved this little place. We started with the pastry sampler and the croissants are layered deliciously to perfection, we love all three pastries. We had the omelette and everything is made fresh, yummy fruit yummy salads. We will come here again we want to try the avocado toast.

Delicious from the coffee to the deserts. First we shared the monkey bread which was Carmel cinnamon chocolate together, yet no flavor was overpowering and the bread not heavy. I had the pulled pork eggs Benedict. It was to die for. The staff was friendly personable and accommodating. I will go back again

Modern take on the diner. Hip ambiance. Small physical space means you should expect a wait. Amazing coffee from La Colombe and custom drink creations with fresh fruit juices. For folks with food allergies, take note that the BLT is served on multigrain bread which contains nuts.

Poor experience, very pushy waiter coming back every 3 minutes, interrupting the conversation with useless questions. Food is ok but do NOT go there if you want to take your time and have a relax moment with your friends. Also the place is very noise overall.

Almost dont want to review so that this place doesnt get too crowded! It is an adorable atmosphere, the presentation is lovely, and the food is delicious. Have been here for breakfast, brunch and lunch so far - very pleased every time!

Great service, excellent food and coffee. Menu items are always delicious and I have been many times and there are still a few things I havent had yet. Dont forget to check out the modern bathroom while youre here.

Everything is delicious. Creative, comfort food. Fantastic breakfasts. Dont miss the baked goods. Fresh chocolate chip cookies baked at noon and 2 oclock. The pear tart was 5 star.

Amazing food even better environment! Highly recommend for classic comfort and healthy options under one roof. The coffee is to die for and all pastries are baked on site.

The food and drinks were excellent but our waiter was rushing us the entire time (from the minute we sat down). Such a shame as everyone enjoyed what they ordered.

Long waits but good service. Avocado toast and burger is excellent. Great coffee. Seating is a bit cramped. Its in our brunch rotation, maybe every four months.

Poor seating arrangement for outside customers. You can be seated and get unfairly bounced! Not smart business move!
