Really poor experience at Java Love this morning. As I entered two people were chatting in seating area and no one was behind the counter. I waited at the counter and moved around a bit and was sure the two people chatting saw me but neither of them ended the conversation or offered a 'be right with you'. Eventually a line formed - still they kept chatting. Then someone came in past the line and went in to behind the counter and served me - I'm guessing this person was on their break and just returned.

Their hot coffee is the best on their menu- many options and they sell their own varieties of coffee as well. They have books you can read and a few seating options inside and outside.
Java Love is a Downtown Montclair staple whether you like coffee, tea, or...
