Local Coffee
107 Watchung Ave, West Orange, NJ
Crema's Take
“Local Coffee is a beloved neighborhood gem where impeccably crafted drinks and impossibly fresh pastries (their chocolate blackout donut is legendary) create the perfect excuse to linger for hours with your laptop or a good book. The cozy, art-filled space attracts a devoted following who come back as much for the genuinely warm owners and staff as for the stellar dirty chai lattes and chocolate loaf, making rainy mornings and writing sessions feel like you're in exactly the right place.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Great place! Coffee is fantastic, any breakfast item I've tried had been delicious 😋. These donuts were so tasty and fresh. Owners and staff are wonderful. Even my dog George loves Local Coffee
A quaint coffee shop for a quick bite of pastry while sipping on coffee. There's limited seating and the tables are small with a sign "laptop free". Latte art was very good and coffee wasn't too bad either.
Great coffee and espresso drinks. I’m not too fond of the beans they use, but they still make a great drink. One thing they do well which a lot of coffee shops mess up on is layering the espresso drinks properly. They do it well here. When the milk is steamed and poured well,…
