Coffee & Cornbread Co

Restaurant Breakfast restaurant Vegan restaurant Organic restaurant Soul food restaurant

🫤 Coffee was good and food was ok. Biggest criticism is I paid over $15 for a coffee, small spinach omelet and two small pieces of bacon. All served in to go containers and plastic flatware. Staff was nice but I won’t be coming back. People often mention vegan, amazing, coffee, nice, order, cornbread, good, sandwich, breakfast, wife,

    I have seen this place a few times and was excited to try their vegan menu. I tried to call in my order and the lady told me they don't take orders over the phone and I would have to order via online. I proceeded to do so and ordered the vegan chicken sandwich and it came to $15.94 for just the sandwich, no fries or sides included which was pricy. When I arrived I parked in the lot and walked up. They were set up for take out only and the nice lady said they would bring my food to the car when it was ready. I also asked them if they could put the mayo on the side and they had no issue with it. The lady brought my food out about 7 minutes later and I drove off. When I dug in it was a pretty good sandwich. I wish it would of came with a side for the price but not bad all in all.

    Monique, Monica, and Jackie were so welcoming and made me the best cornbread, egg and bacon sandwich ever! The best part is that it didn’t sit heavy in my stomach like other breakfast foods. 100% will go back and try the other cornbreads.

    My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a while and when we're in the area and was able to stop by.....it was so worth the wait! Monica (the owner) and her employee Jackie were so extremely nice and their customer service was absolutely amazing. Now for the food....we tried all vegan options and when I say this food was mind blowing, I mean it. Everything was extremely flavorful and we will definitely be going back again

    They served probably the best instant coffee I’ve ever had, but it’s freaking INSTANT coffee. Otherwise food would get 4 stars. Indoor dining there was not fun. I appreciate ceramic coffee mugs and other washable tableware, but not the takeout plastic in which it was served. Food was fine but pricey. And my stool wobbled as I sat the entire meal.

    Such a cute place! Everything I ate was delicious, especially the pancakes. You can feel the joy of the two sisters working in the kitchen as you enjoy your food. Was certainly a pleasure!

    Home fries were bland and hard. Vegan french toast was very soggy in the middle.

    During my visit, I experience good customer service; an employee helps me navigate the ordering process [contactless ordering] as well as answers my questions about ingredients. I order the Vegan Egg Platter (the Organic Plain Bagel [v] which comes with Vegan Butter [very grainy, soft with a light crunch, tasty on its own]; Sautéed Greens [Spinach & Kale] which tastes a bit salty and is good alone; JUST Eggs which I recall coming with green onions though might come with another light ingredient or so like onions as well [fluffy and tasty though light enough flavor wise for one to add a personal touch like ketchup—I put all the ingredients on the bagel and find the meal enjoyable]) and a hot caffeine-free tea. The establishment is nice. Observing the establishment, I feel like I'm entering an environment for casual and/or serious meetings; the interior design seems set for singles and/or groups. During my visit, there is no one-facing-one seating which I kind of like (though the establishment might be undergoing an expansion because I recall seeing another portion of the building in which the establishment is with posters over the windows though seemingly not accessible to the public) as a meet-up-and-go type of design especially considering the establishment is not on the main street (a low key spot). Good vibes. The establishment takes different forms of payments.

    I went in for a quick breakfast bite, and I ordered an everything bagel and orange juice. The bagel was PERFECT, super fresh, and toasted exactly how I like with that right amount of butter. I was also given a piece of cornbread for free, and it's honestly one of the best cornbread I've ever had, and I've had plenty. I will definitely be back to try more menu items.

    This spot has a cozy and friendly environment, comfortable to gather with friends. The coffee was so delicious, I went ahead and tried the corn it was warm and fresh. I ordered grits and eggs, it was healthy low in salt. It's also a vegan spot it's what I liked too.

    The owner and staff are wonderful people. I just came here and bought some of their delicious cornbread. While I was waiting for my order, the young lady working in the front gave me a cornbread on the house to eat . I visited their old location in Teaneck before they moved to Montclair and their breakfast sandwich and coffee was delicious. They are fantastic at using quality ingredients that are simple and quite tasty. The owner was so sweet that she followed me out to the parking lot to gift me their camp cup (insulated mug for hot/cold drinks) when she found out that it was my first time visiting this location after a few years. Who does that these days? ♥️ They deserve all the praise. I will be back with my family for a sit down breakfast. Can’t wait!

    I went for the first time today and it was FANTASTIC. The Vegan pancakes were the best any type of pancakes I have ever had. The tofu scramble was perfect and you hv to ask for the hot sauce. It’s sooo good!!! My friend and I chatted with the staff Including the owners and the cook and they were just as nice as their food was good. I never want to hear ppl from the boogie down are not nice!!!!

    They have many vegan and vegetarian options. My husband loves the vegan breakfast sandwich. I get the real cheesy grits and fried whiting. Plant base options.

  • 3/5 Fabee B. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I are plant based, therefore we ordered from the vegan menu. The food was ok, but overpriced. I think restaurants slap vegan next to food items and then it has to cost almost $20 per item… The quantity of food you get for the price is not worth it. Or include home fries/fries with the sandwiches at no extra cost. The best part of the visit was the tea bag latte, which was absolutely amazing, still overpriced. I frequently dine in the Montclair/Upper Montclair area, so I’m aware of pricing differences and what you get for the money. The customer service is excellent, that was much appreciated! Hope they stay in business for a lifetime, but just isn’t the spot for me.

    There’s vegan restaurant that served you prepackaged food not here everything is made from scratch and taste good. As soon as you walk in you will feel like home. I had the vegan pancakes and chikn & cornbread muffin 👍🏾 .

    This is such a great, little find! The cornbread and coffee, as named, are incredible! And you really just get a great, hearty breakfast at a decent price. Looking forward to going again soon! As a heads up, the place feels more like a take out place, but that isn't to say there isn't seating or nice atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Evelyn B. 1 year ago on Google
    Update: We ate in doors, the service is amazing, you do have to order on your phone and they will bring out the food to you! The food is amazing!the vegan food is to die for !

    Seriously don’t even think about skipping this place especially if you are vegan. Make sure to get the crispy vegan chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun. You will thank me later. Cornbread 10/10 Pancakes 10/10

    My son and his friends went here after school one day. A big group of kids, could have been overwhelming. But my son said that the staff was SO nice to them. I love their food, but that made me love them more. Really happy to have a place like this in Montclair!

  • 5/5 Silvia C. 10 months ago on Google
    Food made with love, you must try this place!! We found it in Google with zero expectations, we were just hungry and around Montclair.. AND what a wonderful surprise!! Amazing food! (The best cornbread I've ever tried) Great vibe and music! Very very clean!! I felt the girl power!! And the love!!! I'll be back for sure!!!

    I went here with my wife for a vegan breakfast. Wow!! The place has such a great vibe and story! When they found out it was my wife’s birthday, they celebrated it like it was their own. Extremely genuine and touched my wife so much she teared up. The food was excellent. My wife’s vegan choices were plentiful and truly on another level compared to other vegan options. I had non vegan and the chicken and waffles were out of this world. We shall become regulars here. What a gem in Montclair!

    As a southern girl it was truly refreshing to get REAL southern food - done HEALTHY and MADE TO ORDER! I will definitely return! And a Special thank you for the warm reception and love shown, I don’t know the last time I had such a genuine experience of appreciation as the patron of a business! CLASS AND GRACE! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Brigette C. 2 years ago on Google
    We order here quite often. I like that they read all special instructions and always on point with them. I ordered fries and eggs platter today(already ate all the eggs). Their platters comes with muffins as well. I'm glad my wife and I found this place. Food is great. I plan on trying some of their dairy free stuff, I know it's vegan but their rice milk pancakes is a must.

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 2 years ago on Google
    My sister introduced me to this place a while back. While I am bummed about the prices, I also understand. I like to treat myself here every once and a while, and I love getting the vegan bacon, egg, cheese sandwiches. I’ve had a few of their other vegan foods and it’s all amazing! This place is one of my top places to go to when I decide I want to order something! Especially after I had my son last year, I was ordering from here nonstop from DoorDash. I actually just had to move out of state and whenever I come back to NJ, this is still where I order from. Amazing amazing amazing food! Definitely recommend.
