THE WATERBAR by Thought in Motion
127 Valley Rd Suite B, West Orange, NJ
Crema's Take
“This isn't just another coffee shop—it's a water-obsessed wellness sanctuary where barista Sandy and the team treat hydration like an art form, crafting everything from specialty elixirs and beet shots to intentional coffee drinks in a serene, Buddha-themed space that feels more Bali retreat than New Jersey strip mall. People keep coming back because the vibe is genuinely communal and calming, with laptop-friendly corners perfect for long sits and an eclectic crowd that's somehow become a tight-knit friend group, all while sipping on thoughtfully curated drinks and light plates.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Since we started our membership 2 years ago, they have ruined me (in a good way). We cant drink other types of water, the quality is impeccable. From the service to the quality of the water it’s the best. DONT THINK ABOUT IT, GET THE MEMBERSHIP!

They really like water here. Like they really like water here. I went here and they have so many options. It made me like water even more. The drinks prices are a bit high but for water enthusiasts it’s pretty nice. Water
