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.”

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
Sandy was kind enough to open early when we arrived prior to opening this morning! The coffee, elixirs, and wellness shots were fantastic. Sandy was so intentional, engaging, and delightful. The storefront is gorgeous and so relaxing. Thank you so much taking such great care of Tricia, Emily, Elizabeth, and Gemma/Gladys!
This has been life changing. We have met and made friends with so many people many from other countries and the great energy is palpable. Our new home away from home. 🥰❤️. THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF YOU ROCK AND WATER IS THE BEST !!!
To be clear this is a Coffee AND water cafe. There are small plates, snacks and a gift bar. I wandered in because I was courious, what is Water Bar? They were so welcoming here, nice music, comfy spaces and thoughtful decor. The vibe is relaxing and reenergizing. The water is clean tasting. I got a glass to go, they will refill your water bottle for a fee. The same way they will give you a coffee for a fee. I sampled the cold brew and iced coffee. Note to self , the water is a better priced, cleaner and tastier water refill than quick check.
The beet shot was epic..this is a beautiful 🤩 retreat in monclair area . Has an eclectic atmosphere and it’s sooo calm. Kinda feels like cafe in Bali with the Buddha theme. They have a powerful menu v wellness focused. The coconut, cashew iced latte was soo good. Loved the energy bites and chia pudding. Try the spirulina shot and also turmeric shot .. everything is made to order I highly recommend this place !!! Tons of seating and they are paw 🐾 friendly
