This is the CUTEST coffee shop I’ve been to in awhile! Lego builds literally everywhere and the coffee was great! Also- coffee ice cubes for the win will definitely be going back

SO COZY COFFEE TASTY 5 STARS. This place has all the comfy cozy atmosphere you want in a coffee shop- with lovely decorating details and thoughtful touches everywhere. The vibe is perfect for a chatty catchup with a friend or settling into a back nook and doing work. Coffee is DELISH with NO bad “coffee mouth” aftertaste. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

I was heading to Quickcheck for some coffee and i noticed a coffee shop right across the street. As soon as i walked in i noticed all the decor, I am huge Fallout fan! This establishment brought me back to a happier time. I recommend the shaken espresso and the fizzy strawberry lemonade. This place is so cozy perfect third-party for studying or working from home. Also, it has spots in the shop that get a good amount of sunlight and it has dim spots to cater to people who like to work in darker environments.

Such a cute little coffee shop with SUPERB quality drinks and pastries! The interior is so cozy and beautifully designed, with tasteful splashes of color, window seats to zone out onto the street, a comfy couch, and booths in the back for more privacy. This is my new spot!!! The ube latte (not too sweet), cold brew (with coffee ice), and blueberry turnover were soooo good!

What a beautifully, thoughtfully designed new cafe in Montclair. So many cute, loving details like tiny doors for cartoon mice, a bronze bear door handle, neuroscience for babies books, games, warm lighting, pink heart-shaped straws and delicious lattes. Only downside was that the couches are too low to comfortable type on the tables. Got the Ube latte with some vanilla syrup. Great espresso and perfect balance of sweetness. The owners/staff are super friendly. Ronnie & Micah, the sisters are delightful and their brother is very nice too. Highly recommend 10/10

I love it here! It is so adorable the moment you walk in, there are so many small details that make this the coziest coffee shop! Not only is this the perfect space for a cute date or to get some work/studying done. The service is fast and so welcoming. Im not a coffee drinker but the alternatives are so good! I got a iced matcha latte with strawberry sweet foam!
