Coffee Shops near Pompton Plains

“Unfortunately only one crew member was working. I was impressed by how he remained calm and dealt as efficiently as possible with the long line of customers in addition to following up on mobile orders. Two customers rudely commented as they were leaving because one (visible) employee was trying to manage the entire store. Everyone is doing the best they can.“

“Named one of the top 50 places to eat in North Jersey in 2023, this family-owned establishment, named after the owner’s sister, offers Mediterranean cuisine and much more. I came to this Taste the Top like a Yelp Elite event today thanks to Sarah and her team. Located in Wayne off of Valley Road, Jackie Small is a bright, comfortable, and cozy eatery with 13 two-seater tables open during breakfast and lunch. There was no wait upon entering and being greeted by the staff, Hector. Their menu, inspired by traditional Middle Eastern recipes, is vast, featuring their popular shawarma grain bowl, Greek salad, as well as French toast, avocado toast, grilled cheese, blueberry pancakes, veggie bowls, BLT's, etc. It's first come, first served, as one orders at the counter, has a seat, and they'll deliver your food to your table. I decided on Smalls Scramble consisting of 3 eggs soft-scrambled, Gruyere cheese, roasted tomatoes, truffle home fries, and multi-grain toast. To wash it down, I went for the Mango Supreme smoothie (mango nectar, strawberry, banana, honey, and pineapple). The food was perfect—great portions and very good quality. The smoothie was delicious and refreshing. This place checked all the boxes, which I can recommend.“

“They make their food fresh and they really impressed me. Their food was also really delicious and I will go back there. The people there were also very nice. Their store was also clean and comfortable.I can tell that they are also hard workers because that can be tiring.Parking: There was parking space that were close to the store.Kid-friendliness: They were really nice.“

“Pour City Roasters is the best coffee around. So much better then the big chain places. Jimi, Allison and family make you feel at home when you go in. The service is excellent and they treat you like family. The coffee is like nothing you have ever had. Go have a cup and you will not be “

“Stopped in for the first time over the weekend and was very happy with our visit! The pastries/pies we tried were all very delicious and tasted like they were made from quality ingredients. Everyone that worked there were also super friendly and helpful. It was hard not to leave with additional goodies that I wasn’t originally intending on!“

“Absolutely a gem of a place! My daughter got a Cookie Monster milkshake and I got the most delicious mousse cake. Honestly there were so many choices we had to play Ennie Meenie Miney Mo to choose which one to get. Not pictured: the chocolate cupcake she devoured in 2 seconds. Run, don't walk, to Soulmate Cafe.“

“Great new find in Montville that delivers tasty and authentic Mediterranean food. The place was clean with friendly staff. We ordered the gyros and hummus and they were more than enough for two and reasonable priced too. Will be coming back soon“

“I love a home run...a trifecta :)It's a cozy but clean location...bright & warm vibe with the woods & metals. What can make it more welcoming???!!! A baked goods, sandwich, and other goodies glass showcase as soon as you step in....sorry no picture!The service is AMAZING by far #1 on my list of places BUT not over bearing. They took care of all our needs with kindness & gentleness while allowing us to enjoy our time together.The food tasted as if from FARM TO TABLE...fresh, crisp, warm and light. The arepas were perfect...my grandma and mom are straight from Colombia so arepas are huge...these meet the criteria, soft but cooked on the inside and grilled perfectly, moist not dry. My son's Eggs Benedict was delish and the bread wasn't the usual English muffin instead a thick slice of heavenly toast. The avocado toast was unbelievable and scrumptious. I had both Arepa dishes...both very good but the beef and cheese was exceptional :)Look forward to going back!“

“In addition to delicious food and beautiful ambiance, the service was top notch. As a new mom you worry how your toddler is going to act in a restaurant. Lylia was so personable and playful with our little one. she was attentive to our needs and helped put us at ease.“

“Took a second to find this place, but glad we did. Met the owner who personally makes the ice cream from locally sourced ingredients and with no artifical flavoring. Great tasting and not overly sweet or heavy. Perfect balance of freshness and flavor. This place really is one of best icream spots around.“

“The cutest, quaintest coffee shop you will ever see! I love small businesses, because they take such care and devotion into handcrafting every drink, and you can see whyAnd if you can’t decide you can get a flight! The tiramisu, and the Italian rainbow cookie are definitely my two favorites!“

“I met a friend for dinner in Boonton and he asked if I've ever been to Boonton Coffee Co. When I said "no" he said "you gotta try this coffee". We walked over and I ordered an iced vanilla latte, just like I've done at Starbucks for well over a decade. Long story short, this place has ruined Starbucks for me. The quality and flavor of their coffee is unmatched. With all due respect to Folgers Freeze Dried coffee, that's what Starbucks now tastes like in comparison. If the owners are reading this...please let me know if you're considering another location. I'd definitely invest.“

“Wow!! So we had a group of 8 and was pouring rain so looking for a takeout place. Found Tacos Polos because it was only 5 minutes away. We ordered tons of food for pickup. The price was great and the quality and amount for the price was unbelievable. We ordered a 30 tacos combo ?they were amazing. Everything was so good. We are so happy we found an amazing takeout place nearby.“

“Defying Gravitea is a cute spot for breakfast, coffee/tea, or some little sweets. My mom and I stopped in early one morning and the owner Gina was super friendly and welcoming. The menu is entirely gluten/dairy free and as someone who is not gluten or dairy free, I believe the food was just as tasty, if not better! I had a pot of Rise + Glow tea and French toast. Will definitely be back!“

“I absolutely love the atmosphere in here. I noticed it was pretty packed, has great live music (they even played Neil Young!), a lot of options such as cranberry apple tea, a robot, and great artwork. The patrons seem polite and it has a slightly upscale, but laid back, vibe. It is gender inclusive!Parking: It gets packed“

“Ladies and gentlemen this is one of the best cafes in and around clifton-paterson- garfield area where you can grab a very flavorful coffee and enjoy a little studying time. The cafe has plenty of seats for everyone and plenty of outlets. Mario and jason are both great baristas and are phenomenal with the customers. I definitely come here often and study and enjoy the environment and vibes of cafe. It can get a little hectic and loud when there are inconsiderate people around but all in all one of my fav cafes. They always have new drinks and the baristas are very creative. Well done!“

“I’ve been going to this place since it open- it’s wonderful place - best flat white in our area hands down - probably the whole menu is excellent- it’s just I’ve been drinking same drink for years. Same exact drink lol. Place has vibe and Dave is absolutely amazing at bringing whole community together. There is always something going on there - check their instagram- Dave keep you posted on everything ?? my favorite option is that u can order through and app and ur drink is ready when u come - cuz I’m always on a run ☺️“

“I feel compelled to comment on the one-star reviews regarding the accusations of racism, as I find it deeply unsettling. The criticism leveled against the staff, suggesting a lack of attention, strikes me as a misunderstanding, particularly in light of my personal experiences. My autistic son, who is an employee of Seven Scoops, often struggles with eye contact and can unintentionally say things that might be misinterpreted.The staff at Seven Scoops has been nothing short of remarkable in their interactions with my son. They have significantly boosted his self-esteem, patiently engaged with his frequent text messages, and consistently welcomed his presence and contributions. This level of support and acceptance is a testament to their character and dedication.I urge the authors of the negative reviews to reconsider their words and instead become aware of your surroundings before placing judgement on our children with special needs.“

“I did a Google search for a coffee shop and came upon this small, unique shop. I ordered a latte and it was very good. It’s a very small set up with a huge mission. It’s a non-profit to help people with disabilities to have a place to work. What a great cause! I didn’t get any food but the options looked quite yummy.Parking: Very little parking on the street. There is a lot behind the building which had quite a few empty spaces. Have to walk around the building to get to the storefront but not difficult or long walk.“

“Love the coffee and tea selection- good strong coffee that’s not bitter, and prices reasonable. People are helpful and friendly. Menu appears small until you realize that they will make you any flavor combination, hot or cold, with any milk type (real milk, almond milk…) Pictured is an iced latte with almond milk and mocha syrup and an iced caramel latte with regular milk. They also sell whole bean coffee which they will grind for you, many teas, snacks, and gift items. And just a cute nice place to sit and relax, too!“

“Me and my boyfriend stopped by to do the tea ceremony to learn more about tea & culture! The owner is so sweet & knowledgeable, the tea ceremony was definitely worth it and we learned a lot from her. The ceremony felt like fun but also as professional as taking a class on how to brew your own teas at home & their origins.Definitely reccomend stopping by for anyone who has an interest in trying new teas.“

“I would go back for the chocolate blackout donut alone, but the dirty chai latte and chocolate loaf are also worth a second visit. Perfect spot for a rainy Saturday morning to warm up from the inside out before venturing back out to take on the rest of your weekend. Looking forward to going back and trying out the rest of the drink menu and baked goods.“

“This was my first time visiting Mattarello bakery and I will definitely come back!When I walked in - I was welcomed by smiling and happy barista.It was hard to choose what I wanted to try,they have a lot off different cookies,pastries and cakes,the lady who was working there helped me to choose the perfect pastries to try.I had bombolone donut with custard cream, lobster tail with chantilly cream and a large cappuccino.Everything tasted amazing.Fresh,a lot(!!!)of filling which made me really happy.For coffee lovers - they have different types of milk to choose for your cappuccino,latte or matcha latte.I had a cappuccino with almond milk and look at the cute bear!I can’t wait to come back another time to try something new!?☕️ “

“I don't think I've ever had something from JDs that I didn't like. The food is always fresh and delicious. We've used them for catering also and I was impressed with their pricing and options. Tables are always full and staff is always friendly. Quality is consistent. My favorite is constantly changing but my family loves the BLK and the patsy.“

“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light. I'm upset I didn't leave with more, a hidden gem and a must try!“

“Stopped in yesterday for a cappuccino and iced coffee. $10.67 for a medium of both. Cool vibe, some food and small plates offered as well. Maybe 10 tables and 20 or so chairs.Vegetarian options: Croissants, empanadas, and suchParking: Spots fill up fast“

“Thank you to Sammy who handled customers with grace this evening (a Saturday evening in early April) where customers were lined up out the door! She was working alone and yet never stressed, lost her cool and worked tirelessly until everyone had their ice cream in hand. At a day and age where I wouldn't want my own daughter working alone, she was working tirelessly to ensure her customers were happy and didn't rush through despite the line behind her and anxiously awaiting customers. I was very impressed with her!!!“

“Not only is this our neighborhood place that's easy to frequent for us, it is one of the best places in town! Consistently delicious and super friendly and efficient service. Cozy atmosphere with local artists' works on display and for sale. Daily specials in food and drink available. Great sandwiches and soups also in addition to breakfast fare! My faves are huevos rancheros or Spanish omelette, or a good ol' egg sandwich and oat latte. The French toast is also yummmm! Brunch crowd vie for tables on weekends. Perfect place for even dining alone or meeting up with friends or take a quick meeting.“

“I had the gnocchi and it was absolutely AMAZING! Not only that, but I saw that they had cheesecake so I tried a slice and can I just say, I was in HEAVEN! I am not usually a dessert kind of person, but this cheesecake might have changed my opinion on dessert, forever. If you have the chance to stop by and try their cheesecake, I highly recommend it. It was so tasty!!!! 20/10“

“My husband brought me and my daughter here. The Gelato's where so delicious. I had a small cup of the strawberry cheesecake Gelato and my daughter had a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of vanilla bean. We will definitely come back again“

“What a fantastic place to go to. Very welcoming atmosphere and treat you like family. I’ve had the hex here and it is delicious. I don’t drink coffee much but they have a lot of other options that are all very good. I’ve heard the coffee is very good too. They have a great selection of yummy pastries as well. Definitely recommend going here!Wheelchair accessibility: It is easy for someone in a wheelchair to get in and out of the store from the parking lot.“

“Very charming little coffee spot! Super chill atmosphere and relaxed. Quiet for days that you want 'work from home' but not be stuck at home. There is plenty of parking with a few municipal lots and street parking as well. We did ceramic painting and there are plenty of options of items you can paint although we just stuck with mugs. I think there is a time limit when you make the reservations for the painting but it was a quiet day and they let us take our time. It is a neat little activity to do on a rainy day with friends and a cute coffee spot if you want a change from dunkin/starbucks in the area.“

“Been coming to Liquid Church since Christmas. Besides being baptism in May. The one thing I enjoy is the coffee here at the Clean water Cafe! But since I've reset my body over a year do to allergies. I've decided to try the spicy chicken and Polynesian Sauce! Oh man that tastes good! Pastor K is riiiiight! But I like the idea I'm also supporting a good cause by aiding areas for drilling wells. Where it's needed & where liquid church will go to who is in need. Money well spent and aiding others! Clean place to eat and also they help those with special needs. By giving these peopleA job. As far as I am concerned its a trifecta. We have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Now we have a church who helps those in need and drills Wells for those less fortunate and All supporting a good cause! If your near Jefferson Rd and Webro Rd. & craving chicken or a snack? Stop in & enjoy a comfortable place to eat.“

“Clean and modern interior, along with rich chocolate flavor, delighted both my eyes and taste buds.I bought an Iced Hot Chocolate and a 4pk Brownie. Both have a rich chocolate taste, especially the brownie, which is dense yet cuts smoothly and the harmony of nuts and salt sprinkled on top is heavenly.I will definitely come back for more??“

“Adorable, charming gem in Towaco across from the train station. Looking for some place to have lunch, my daughter and I discovered this place! The menu/food was delightful as was the Owner, Christina. Seasonal candies and goodies to match the holiday mood! And a place to just sit and have a relaxing coffee as well! Treat yourself!Parking: Train parking lot across the steeet. Also lot in the back.“

“Really cute place, I was impressed with both the food & coffee.Went there for lunch, but ordered a coffee and it was surprisingly delicious (even better than the coffee shop down the street).The bakery items also looked amazing --- looking forward to trying them at some point.“

“It's a small drive thru coffee shop that has amazing daily soups!!! Their soups are so good for breakfast. Breakfast bowls are good too. The price is a bit on the higher side but you get what you paid for. The staff are all nice and friendly.“

“Randy’s Homemade Ice Cream is an amazing experience! Carefully crafted and unique flavors that are out of this world! You can’t leave with just one! So good! His Cookie Monster, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Cannoli flavors are just some of my favorites. A must visit! ??“

“This place is on point, greeted when we first entered and thanked before we left. The service was great, cashier was pleasant and efficient while taking our order. The food was amazing!! Collared greens, mac &cheese, yams, yellow rice, chicken and cat fish. The cornbread hits the mark. Soul food that speaks to the soul. Finally soul food done right. If you didnt know now you know, cornbread is where to go.“

“Amazing cafe/coffee spot. 1) Inside is very cozy. Lots of couches with electric outlets. Unlike other places where you have to fight for couches and electric outlets, here it is abundant. 2) I really enjoyed the hot chocolate. It was very tasty. 3) The cafe/coffee spot is very clear and service was super quick.“

“Heavenly Temptations leads with its heart on its sleeve to create a wonderfully authentic family experience. I spent a cozzy day drinking coffee and eating delicious home-baked treats while taking reading breaks chat with the barista. The barista was the owners son and from the moment you meet him you can tell he is truly grateful for the opportunity to run his family's business and welcome each customer.Don't waste your money on other coffee shops. Supporting Heavenly Temptations is supporting hard working youth and a family dedication to their local community. And, my grandmother can't get enough of their desserts!“

“Just had the best experience with ladyfingers! I had a birthday party for my daughter and they provided a two tier cake and a coffee bar. Lauren was very responsive from start to finish. I was able to pick the flavors and filings for each tier off their long list of options. I didn’t have much time to look for a cake design so just sent over a photo of a cake that I quickly googled. They were able to create it, and even better, they added a customized cake topper with my daughter’s name. They also delivered it to the venue which was very important to me since I didn’t want to deal with picking up a big cake from a bakery and making sure it didn’t get ruined during an already busy day. At the party they provided us with a “coffee bar” serving up a variety of flavored hot and iced coffee & chai. The guests loved this! Many drove from far so a coffee option was exactly what the needed upon arrival. The onsite team was great, arrived early to setup, and went above and beyond by lending me a cake stand and having ice delivered for us when we were unable to get any because it happened to be sold out everywhere near by. Overall great experience and would highly recommend them!“

“Very good bagel sandwiches in the Caldwell area. This wasn't a shock. I always do a sausage bagel with cheese, no egg. This was another place that gave two sausages on the bagel which is outstanding!! That must be how thwy make them in NJ. I'm looking forward to visiting again!“

“Nice coffee franchise with some tasty coffee. It was definitely a distinct flavor that I've never tasted before. I easily preferred this over Starbucks. Inside is cozy with plenty of seating. They do have a pretty good-looking food menu. Even though I prefer to support local, I will definitely be returning.“

“They are insanely generous with their toppings which most bubble tea spots in the area are not (gong cha in Montclair, kung fu tea in Montclair, cozy tea in cedar grove/verona border). Worth taking the drive to the mall just to grab a bubble tea from here.“

“Went here after dinner with my companion for a couple cups of coffee. She had a cappuccino and I just ordered a small cup of black coffee. She enjoyed hers, mine was ok. Service was friendly. Parking on a Sunday evening was ample but we had walked.“

“Occasionally, my SO and I, go for espresso and pastries. We usually go during the week, after lunch. The place is small, clean, cozy; the lady at the counter is always attentive and polite. We usually sit and enjoy the goodies. The pastries in this place are the closest to the ones in Italy. I should know being Italian and traveling to IT three times a year. Keep up the good work, Palazzone!“

“The last time I bought it, I asked them to make it without ice, but there was probably a misunderstanding and they served it without sugar. When I went home and drank it, I didn't like the taste at all and couldn't drink it. I went back the next day and explained the situation. My purpose was just to tell about this negative experience. Even though I didn't make any requests, they very politely served me the drink. They said they wanted to do it again for free. Even though I insisted on paying, they never accepted it and I liked their behavior very much. I have already observed that the employees are friendly and treat the customers well, but after this behavior, they are now number 1 in my heart.“

“The strawberry matcha is delicious! But the prices are a bit high. The workers know all the daily’s but when I visited for my first time, I felt under appreciated. They shout out all the regulars but good luck to the newbies. The strawberry matcha was so good though!“

“I must say i love love loveee this place. Amazing service amazing people. I do miss the guy at drive thru Matt he was so sweet. Ugh he made my day every time. I also really appreciate this young girl there i believe her names was Narciss. She was so cute and adorable as she stayed patient to help my children figure out their favorite drinks and now they dont let me go anywhere else?. I always come in to see that sweet barista because she truly made us feel welcomed which alot of baristas tend to lack.“
