“Upon moving back to Montclair this year from Los Angeles, I stumbled upon Paper Plane Coffee Co., just a few blocks from our home. Discovering this gem was like finding a new hub of community in a beautifully special place. The welcoming vibe of the cafe is palpable from the moment you step in. The space is stunning, clean, and wonderfully appointed, creating an inviting atmosphere that beckons you to linger.The service here is unparalleled; I'd give more stars if I could! Each visit leaves me more impressed, with staff consistently delivering exceptional, friendly service.The coffee? Simply outstanding. Over the past month, I've savored a variety of their beans, and whether hot or iced, each cup is a revelation. The perfectly roasted beans reveal intricate notes that are a testament to their meticulous crafting.I’m particularly fond of their pour-over options, which are available even iced – a unique treat that complements their incredible selection of beans. The consistency in quality and the use of incredibly top-shelf ingredients in their creations set them apart. The menu refreshes monthly, introducing unique offerings that demonstrate creativity and a deep passion for coffee.In my opinion, Paper Plane Coffee Co. is not just a coffee shop, but the pinnacle among coffee roasters and cafes, elevating the standard far beyond what I typically have seen even in specialty coffee or third-wave establishments I frequented. Their commitment to quality and innovation sets a benchmark that others in the industry should aspire to. Here's to many more years of success for this outstanding establishment and its exceptional team!“

“My top pick in a 5-10 mile geographic area for my daily Mocha Latte fix. Iced or hot, regular or decaf, it delivers 10/10 everytime. I usually order mine with them online for pickup so it’s ready when I arrive. The owners are super friendly and I look forward to my (almost daily) stop.“

“Their dark roast is the beat around!!“

“We visited the place last Saturday. The cheese bread is fresh but not really the bagels we got. We waited so long ; we found out that my daughter’s order was given to someone else but they did not care to replace it at once. When we asked about our order, that’s the time they rushed to prepare it , in less than five minutes, the sandwich was handed to us. When we were in the car since we’re already late for our next appointment, my daughter found out that the replacement was wrong. She paid for plain bagel with double eggs, bacon, and cheese but she was given with plain bagel with cheese only. They asked for our phone number but did not initiate the call. I hope they will do better in their team work.“

“Excelente propuesta, innovadora.“

“We recently stopped in for a quick coffee and snack while traveling. The coffee was great! We also truly appreciated the kindness and honesty of the owner.Our coffee and conversation led to us leaving behind a quite valuable item. Late that evening after retracing our steps, the owner answered his phone and assured us that he found the item and it would be kept safe until the next morning.He was a man of his word, and the next morning served up two more coffees and the return of our item.Thank you very much for being a great human!“

“We started buying coffee beans from Ahrre's when we lived in Summit from 2014-2018. We still buy a 5lb bag every other month now that we live in Long Island. I haven't found better coffee beans and don't know that we ever will!“

“Boxwood is amazingly spacious, warmly lit, and with comfortable seating ranging in tables, high top tables and bar stools, and cozy choices at the windowfront. The drink menu is creative with seasonal specials as well a milieu of regular caffeine requests. I opted for an iced vanilla cinnamon latte. Eventhough the weather is getting chilly, it's impossible for me to transition to hot coffee just yet so no judgement, thank you! Espresso was quality and the tres leches donut was a dream. To balance, I split a turkey and cheese croissant with my partner. It was brought warm, cheesy melted, was especially comforting. Service was stealth and kind. They took the order thoughtfully and my items were ready in less than 5 minutes. All came deliciously prepared. There was decent seating while people were studying and chatting, a great space to rest and relax with good seating for those who are disabled or in chronic pain too. My visit was practically perfect, but the prices are steep with $6+ for a small latte. If you need any coffee accountrements like filters, pour over materials, fredh espresso beans, this is also a great spot.“

“I love this place!!! They have an awesome assortment of teas and coffee! You can even pick up cookies and nuts. I love the Nj coffee and the pecan! I recommend you get a shot of expresso added to a coffee to go while you wait! The flavor profile of the coffee and expresso is amazing! I have been called a coffee snob and this place doesn't fail me. The price point is great for coffee that's superior to Starbucks and cheaper! This place is a god sent for coffee and tea lovers“

“I came to New York from 3/31 to 4/6 and lived in Harrison, New Jersey. I happened to have this coffee nearby so I came to check it out.First of all, it is great that it opens at 7 am. There is a breakfast option for early risers, and there are many choices. In addition to different Croissant, there are also bagel, egg and other choices, and the coffee selection is also diverse.The service staff are very friendly, because I am Taiwanese and don’t speak English very well. From 3/31 to 4/2, I met the same waitress who took my order. She tried her best to communicate with me and always had a smile on her face. He smiled and thanked her very much.Because I just came here for fun and probably won’t come again in the future, I ordered all the bread and salads in the store in the past few days. The tiramisu, pudding, and yogurt in the refrigerated area are also very good. Recommended to anyone who wants to dine here.“

“Been here a few times, so decided to stop in again today, as it was cold, rainy, and dreary and I needed a coffee. This shop is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The interior is charming and inviting, and the staff are always pleasant, kind, and helpful. Relaxing music plays from the speakers, the smell of coffee permeates the air, and various baked goods are available for purchase. Patrons are also very friendly each time, given the inviting nature of the shop. I usually opt for the latte, which is consistently satisfying. It is never bitter, always smooth, and packed with deep, rich, flavor. Today was no different. For a laid-back, charming, place to grab a great coffee, you can't go wrong here.“
