Forum Coffee (Livingston)
256 S Livingston Ave, West Orange, NJ
Crema's Take
“Tucked into West Orange, this surprisingly spacious espresso haven punches well above typical strip mall expectations with a library-like quiet and warm, thoughtfully designed interior that locals have claimed as their refuge for serious coffee work and meetings. Their signature creative drinks like the Cloud Coffee showcase their skill with espresso and specialty offerings like matcha, though consistency can vary depending on who's behind the bar, and their commitment to organic coffees sets them apart from the usual chains in the area.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Several notches above Starbucks ( which no longer offers premium experience or drinks ) The Forum looks deceptively small - the interior is massive; yet quiet and the atmosphere of a library with its wood paneled walls, leather couches, recessed lighting…. To say the beverage…
We tried the Cloud Coffee one with espresso and another with matcha. The first time we went, it tasted amazing, but on our second visit it was prepared by a different person and the taste was a bit different. Still, if you enjoy coconut water, this drink is definitely worth a…
The aesthetic of the place was very nice, and I love the concept of offering organic coffees. The chocolate chip cookie had a good flavor but was quite hard. I was expecting a softer texture: should’ve asked before ordering. The iced matcha tea with oat milk was tasty.…
