Finding my footing around NJ took a beat- but here are some of my fave food spots/ things to do in Northern NJ :)
Map
Very cute- first come first served. Delish for breakfast! Really love their baked goods as well.
THE CORNER - Montclair
NEW to Montclair- originally from NYC. The owners here are local to NJ. Delish baked goods- currently open on Fri-Sun.
Somedays Bakery
Pretty local to me- their banana bread is delish & i loveee their lattes. They have a weekly $5 drink special. They often try to do community events like bookclub or some live music. Has indoor & outdoor seating. Pet friendly.
The Twisted Tulip
Love this spot! Good drinks + food. A little on the pricier side. Reservations recommended ☻
Faubourg Montclair Restaurant and Bar
Lagree x tread workout class. So good and their first class is free!
MEGA Montclair
Basically a NY spot heh but was so excited when Eataly opened up in Short Hills. Fab to grab drinks/ din or stock up on some specialty grocery items.
Eataly
A good family-owned local bar to try out. Yummy wings- also their strawberry salad is delish.
Cloverleaf Tavern
Such a cute trail to bring littles or anyone who enjoys a lil whimsy. A large portion of the trail is adorned with little fairy houses :)
South Mountain - Fairy Trail
Location is kinda funny, but there’s always parking 😉 Honestly has really delish food/drinks. Love their paella & empanadas the most.
Milagros - Parsippany NJ
Honestly just love driving around the houses here- so gorg!!
Essex Fells, NJ
Great spot to work out of/ grab coffee + breakfast :) Lots of indoor space & nearby parking lot.
Mercado
Located in Montclair- cute block & has lot of fun items. Great for finding niche gifts + a few curated vintage pieces.
Acorn General Store
Such a cooooool coffee shop. Often has cool cars outside and some car popup events.
Sunday Motor Co.
I could spend hours looking at plants here :-) Not far from Sunday Motor Co (coffee shop)
The Farm At Green Village
Where we grab some winter clothing/ gear for skiing. Really solid owners & I prefer to give them my business over a big retailer :) P.S- if you strike up convo + buy a few pieces he might even throw you a discount. Really solid owner :)
High Country Ski and Tennis
I grew up going here occasionally but it’s really taken off lately! Great ice cream & people usually hang out to enjoy.
Applegate Farm
Very cute interior design. Worth popping in if you’re in Montclair and want to hang inside for a bit.
