Java Love Coffee Bar Church Street

Great for coffee from somewhere other than the starbucks looming on the nearby corner.
Glad I found this place! Cute location with the usual suspects as well as a big menu of interesting specials. Sells beans and some pastries. Super friendly and engaging staff any time I've been in!

First time in this store, needed a break from work, and what a joy it was to visit this place! The super-sweet and kind barista was not only knowledgeable about the pour-over coffee method, but was excited to teach people about it and to be sure I'd know what I was purchasing. The cup of coffee I left with was (is) delicious, and the whole experience was just what I needed to reset my spirits after a difficult couple of days at the office. I will visit again and I'll bring people with me, too! Thank you, Java Love, I'm feelin' the love!

Edit-ignore the previous accidental star score

Java love is my favorite coffee shop in Montclair! Their retail area is so well prepared and their staff could not be more friendly! On this visit I tried a Clark griswald with oat milk-amazing! The temperature was perfect and the milk substitute was creamy! Something I rarely find at other shops!

Will absolutely be back again!

Coffee done right, with interesting flavor pairings (such as my personal favorite Purple Rain, a latte with white chocolate and lavender syrup), locally farmed milk, tasty baked goods from Montclair Bread, and personable service that is sincere, constant and another great part of my experience on weekly visits. Stop by Sunday afternoons for great live music.

Great coffee and baked goods. Didn't get an especially kid friendly vibe when I was in with my kindergartner. Coming from Brooklyn which has a bounty of friendly cafes, I was a bit surprised by that since I thought Montclair was a family friendly area.

Excellent medium roast coffee. Vegan donuts and their own Raw Bar Vegan. I ♥️ Java Love. Nice interiors. Best of all, they offer paper straws.

I finally decided to try this place after several recommendations.As a tea drinker , I was not pleased by the chai latte. It was so bad ,I would suggest they take it off the menu ( As another poster said two years ago ). I will try a coffee beverage next time .

Not too crazy about their coffee..kinda weak if u ask me..and the syrup flavors are super weak..tons of other decent small boutique coffee shops around town or neighboring towns

Simply one of my favorite cafes, ever. Great place to sit, to run into friends - and to enjoy the company of the very entertaining baristas. They play fantastic music too.

I was quite happy to come across this cafe as I am tired of visiting starbucks. Free wifi, always somehow lucky enough to grab a table to sit. Love the location cuz we always seem to go there after lunch. Highly recommended !
