Paper Plane Coffee Co.

Coffee became an obsession of mine over a decade ago when I was living in Manhattan. I made it a point to travel all over NYC to try the best coffee shops that the city had to offer. Fast-forward to a few years ago when Paper Planes first opened their doors in Montclair; I was blown away. Not only is the coffee just on a complete other wavelength of taste, but the care and meticulous crafting that goes into their roasting and drink menu is otherworldly. They have, without question, the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. Couple that with the incredible staff and the Doctorate-level knowledge that Jon the owner has when it comes to the science of coffee , and you come away with and unbelievable experience. I can’t recommend this place enough for both the coffee nuts of the world and someone just looking to grab a quick cup on the go.

Love this place. So happy and grateful they are in this area. If you dont love this shop its simply not for you and thats ok. This shop is for the person who may need to be patient for their coffee at times. That isnt everyone, even me sometimes but when I have time this is my go to place for coffee. Everything here is great. The staff is super friendly. The owner is a really nice guy who is passionate about coffee and making sure their drinks are exceptional which they always are.

Been coming here since they first opened. Their new place is beautiful. Cant wait to see what they do next.

If you are reading this review, please be nice to them!

Paper Plane is sincerely one of the best roasters and coffee shops in the state. That being said, one can understand that they are hugely popular, well liked, supported by the community....and therefore busy. Paper Plane being busy is not a negative thing. This team of baristas are very skilled, very creative, very attentive, and very friendly. They are human and they may fall short here and there...but they learn from it and adjust; they take it seriously and don't blow things off. It is amazing to watch them and take in the experience. They are THE REAL DEAL! I may have to wait a few minutes for my espresso drink when I'm there, but I take in the atmosphere of the place, the things to look at, watching other patrons enjoy themselves or sit quietly reading or typing; it's simply fantastic. And the icing on the cake, as if Jon and Melissa (owners) don't do enough 7 days a week - they positively support the Montclair community through activism, events, and fundraisers. I've watched this business grow through the years and I'm very proud to frequent their cafe and give them my time and money. And try the "Mayan Latte"....really good stuff!

Best coffe around and it's not up for debate. The new space is a great place to hang and enjoy your drink. The wait times at the updated location are poor, and the line goes outside the shop, you can be waiting in line for quite a while for a cup of coffee.

Great decor, friendly and helpful staff, and most importantly...great coffee!

Delicious and innovative coffee in a fun, plane-themed shop. A great place to stop for a coffee or get some work done in Montclair. And their beans are perfect for coffee at home!

So happy that Montclair finally has a coffeehouse that is beyond good. Everything from the friendly faces that greet you to the inviting space just makes you want to come back. I love that the owner has a passion for coffee and he knows his stuff. Consistent great cappuccinos and lattes.

This place is the best! The coffee is delicious, the decor is adorable, and the baristas are super friendly. Plenty of fun menu items, too! My favorite coffee shop in the area for sure.

went here with my friends and the coffee's and chocolate are so flavorful. Must try their banana coffee its blue i am going to go again ! the place looks great on the inside and its a great place for a date as well

This is a new(er) coffee spot to the neighborhood- the vibe is beautiful and the people friendly! The designer in me LOVED the living wall + mural wall and airplane brand experiences! The 90’s kid in me- the Super Ninento corner... but I was working so didn’t get a chance to play and geek out. The latte I ordered was perfect! Complete with latte art of a heart ♥️
