Crema's Take
“This beloved Bloomfield neighborhood spot marries serious sourdough craftsmanship with an impressive pastry program that's earned real accolades, including a Food Network competition win for their tres leches cake. The rustic industrial space offers a genuine community vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating, though service can be inconsistent—arrive early to beat the crowds and snag their standout sourdough donuts and loaves before they sell out.”

Very frustrating experience! I love sourdough and I thought “why not try a new place” but it was not good! Two young men working like they don’t care. I asked if they could sliced the bread and that’s how I got my sourdough back! The place it self was very unorganized and not clean. First and last time in this place.
Usually I’m skeptical of foods that claim to be “award-winning”, but here the tres leches absolutely lives up to the hype of winning a Food network competition. Definitely one of the best donuts I’ve ever tried 😛
The rustic industrial look is unique and the food tasted great but our order was meant to come on a brioche bun and we were given two croissants. They were out of jalapeños which is a part of a main breakfast sandwich they were serving (it was Sunday morning) and they lacked clear communication amongst one another. Things kept getting messed up and misconstrued. It is also extremely pricey for what youre getting.
Get there early before the line builds up! There is indoor and outdoor seating. I picked up some sourdough donuts, brioche doughnuts and a few loaves of sourdough bread. There were several people behind the counter to make sure everyone was helped quickly.
Morning Day Glory Muffin was really tasty and with the perfect amount of sweetness not too over the top and well baked. but I decided to take it out and ate it at my car as I couldn’t stand the face of distaste from the employee attending the register. I was feeling judged and held unaccountable as I interpreted the employee must have been in a bad mood taking in consideration the way she treated me. Disappointed. Montclair is amazing for their coffee shops and pastries and was expecting to invest further but seems it’s a big miss.
