Crema's Take

Village Coffee in West Orange has earned its stellar 4.7-star reputation as a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where locals linger over expertly executed brunch plates—think generous huevos rancheros and creative vegetarian options—paired with thoughtful coffee and an impressive menu that rewards exploration. The warm, family-friendly atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between casual and intentional, making it equally suited for a solo reading session with a cappuccino or a leisurely meal with loved ones. With consistently generous portions and a real commitment to quality ingredients, this is the kind of place that becomes part of your routine precisely because it doesn't feel like a chain.

Five stars for Village Coffee Shop! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The menu is extensive with so many delicious options, you’re guaranteed to find something you love. I recently had the #18 omelette, and it was amazing. The salmon platter is also really good, and I’ll never forget their toasted everything bagel with tomatoes and Swiss cheese, mmmm yumm!!! . The coffee is always fresh and tasty, and they offer a wide variety of drinks. The food and service are definitely a plus. One of my favorite local spots — you must check it out!

I usually like to support local establishments, so I was happy to find this cafe for a little reading time over coffee and a snack. It turned out that it was 30 minutes to closing and unfortunately they began mopping the floors with a very strong smelling cleaner just as we sat down. The coffee and black and white cookie were good, but I couldn't enjoy them with the strong smell. We tried to stick it out, but then a staff member burned something on the grill and the smoke filled the whole place. I don't know if this was just coincidence or the staff were signalling that they wanted to go home. Willing to try again, but this was a pretty unpleasant experience.

fantastic huevos rancheros, great choice of brunch dishes . Generous portions. Please note that fires are more faute potatoes portuguese/spanish style. Service a bit lacking though (coffee refills ???).

2 Eggs any style with home fries, would not recommend. Not appetizing, the home fries is not what expected based on other reviews, has this smell/weird taste, I can’t really tell what it is. The French bread was soaked in butter. Ordered for convenience, now I regret it because I can’t eat it so I still need to make breakfast that I was trying to avoid making.

This place is a fantastic spot for brunch, especially if you’re looking for great vegetarian options! The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful and well-prepared dishes. Their hot chocolate is the best I’ve had—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The latte is also excellent, smooth, and well-crafted. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food and a great brunch experience!
