No food BUT pastries and coffees? ALWAYS immaculate. Super friendly staff, no matter the time of day.
Art installations on the main wall are always nice to look over while enjoying some writing and chatting inside.
Dog treats at the door as well! Thanks guys for all the joy you bring to Montclair and the surrounding towns!

I would go back for the chocolate blackout donut alone, but the dirty chai latte and chocolate loaf are also worth a second visit. Perfect spot for a rainy Saturday morning to warm up from the inside out before venturing back out to take on the rest of your weekend. Looking forward to going back and trying out the rest of the drink menu and baked goods.

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

Cozy coffee shop off Watchung in Montclair. I’ve been going here for years and am always treated with great service and great drinks. The owners are such nice folks, too.
Not to mention, the doughnuts they source are incredible. No, really, you have to get one if you visit.
Dog friendly, ever-changing wall art by local talent, indoor seating, and public wifi.

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, you get a great texture and even flavor throughout your drink…this is important, and their baristas know it.
Comfortable place to sit and work. The baristas are very friendly!

My wife and I have been coming here for years and we adore it. This place is the definition of community and connection. 10/10 always recommend. And their harvest latte is brilliant. Brenna is a genius barista and always invents the coolest drinks.

Went here for the first time on a Saturday morning with a friend. The staff is high energy / positive and helpful. The place is well kept with some small tables and a counter area to hang out. The cold brew coffee I had was excellent and provided a needed bolt of caffeine. I highly recommend this local coffee place, and will definitely be going back

We’ve been going to Local since it first opened. It was about the third coffee shop in Montclair at that time. Now, I can’t keep track of them all.
Even after a change of ownership, I would still put their coffees (and baristas) up against any others in town.
Both the service and the quality are terrific. As it’s continued to get more popular, the noise levels and ability to grab a seat have decreased, which is why I marked them down on atmosphere. The shop is always clean and they’ve got revolving art exhibits, but it’s gotten noisy and crowded.

Just like the name everything they sell is local.. which is great. BUT it’s pricey as heck! Paid about 50 bucks for 2 coffees, pastries and 2 bars of chocolates. And the taste is good but not great. Not sure if I’ll be coming back, plus it’s hard to find parking.
