Harper's Cafe
134 South Valley Rd, West Orange, NJ
Crema's Take
“Harper's Cafe in West Orange strikes a welcoming balance between specialty coffee culture and neighborhood gathering spot, where thoughtful touches like oat and almond milk options and made-to-order breakfast items like French toast with housemade syrup show real care for their regulars. The matcha drinks and specialty beverages pull in enthusiasts, but it's the owner's genuine warmth and the comfortable vibe that keeps people coming back to linger with a hot chocolate or catch up over the Harper's Club.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

I've been meaning to come here for a while now and I am so happy I did today. I had a delicious hot chocolate and the Harper's Club; both were delicious. I wish I could have dined in because the vibe was nice but I'll be back soon. ❤️
Hey, so I love this place until I realize every morning when I’m on the go there’s something wrong with my order which I never called and make a big deal about but just so happen this day. I decided to reach out to let them know like hey, this is a continuous thing every day of…
