Village Coffee
164 Maplewood Ave, West Orange, NJ
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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

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…
