Reviews

We were on a hike up Mountain Road when we entered Montclair Village and discovered Paddington Cafe! They have DELICIOUS coffee and outstanding desserts and cookies. They’re famous for their homemade ruggalach and muffins. The cafe has very comfortable chairs so it’s easy to want to relax here for hours!

Friendly staff/owners in this cute community cafe. Got a dirty chai and vegetarian spinach croissant that had a bit of tomato/pesto flavor, yum! Decent wifi, though it can be sometimes unstable.

Angelica San Jose

Super good local grown coffee, and the owner was really friendly and sweet to talk to.

Eddy Bakovic

Sweet little cafe at a convenient location. My hot chocolate was delicious and ready quickly, and the staff were all really friendly. Wifi worked well, and I'm someone who cares a lot about clean bathrooms and this one is spotless! The ambience is warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

Keelia Alder

Love the bowls here! The family owned vibe is great and welcoming. I loved hearing the owners story of being in the service. Her awards are hanging proudly on the walls.

Jessie Stehle

Family owned cafe that is very much part of its community. Regulars and the owners greeted each other by first name. Close to Montclair Park so it's popular after paddle sports or softball. Very popular with cyclists too - nine were outside when we are there.

Mike Hagerty

These little pastries are amazing. And for a great cause.
