RED EYE CAFE Review

Very nice lunch at Red Eye Cafe. I had the grilled chicken with mozzarella and pesto on a beautifully toasted bread. Coffee was delicious, service great. What else do you need for a nice lunch?

Friendly service and great food. This is a popular spot to eat with a friend or grab some coffee read a newspaper (online, of course). My favorite is their ham and brie sandwich with orange marmalade, and their brunch menu is unique and delicious. I don't drink coffee, and still love this place!

Our offices have recently moved to Montclair and the RedEye had become somewhat of an office go to for a sit down lunch. The food is good, consistent if not a tad pricey, but hey, we're in Montclair. I do wish they had fries but I appreciate that they aren't necessary to have a good meal.

This is, without a doubt, the best brunch spot in all of Montclair. The biggest challenge is getting in on weekends. The restaurant opens up at 9 AM, so you should try to be there at that time to ensure a spot on a Saturday or Sunday. Show up anytime after 9:30 AM and you run the risk of waiting up to 45 minutes for a seat.

That said, 45 minutes is well worth it for the feast that awaits you. Everything on the menu is fantastic. I m a huge fan of their cold brew coffee, sludge, and their cappuccino. Beyond drinks, the French toast is divine. It s covered and strawberries and adorned with their homemade cream. The omelettes are fluffy and gigantic. I m also a huge fan of the broccoli frittata sandwich that s available on weekdays.

The staff and service is also excellent. They do their best to make you feel at home and never rush you out. The only other negative is that there tends to be a lot of table squatters working on weekdays which makes it hard to sometimes get a seat.

Located right by the Walnut Street train station, you can find parking on all the side streets leading towards Walnut Street. Just remember to feed the meters or you will get a ticket. Even better, you can walk a block to the farmer s market in the spring and summer to walk off your meal.

This place is fantastic. I wanted a healthier option so I opted for scrambled eggs with kale and gruyere, with multigrain toast and fruit salad. Wow. It was fantastic. Excellent coffee too. And totally reasonable prices. I tried my buddy's huevos rancheros and they were pretty money as well. Wait staff was great, really friendly. Liked the ambience of the place as well. 5 stars out of 5 stars, would come again!

My last post from RedEye was 2 yrs ago and it wasnt a good one. Unfortunately not much has changed

I don't know what it is, I just get crappy food and drink here. I last visited a few weeks ago for a cup of coffee with a friend. I asked for a cortado and was given a latte. Sucked.

Barista had no training..... Lovely.

Great location nifty setting but terrible execution and clearly no training.

Amazing coffe! Great food! It s got a smaller menu that is clearly well thought through because I ve tried several things and they re all great! A great place to go with a friend to catch up! Looking forward to getting back there. It was a place I went frequently with a friend or family member just to chat, have great food and catch up. <3 <3

wonderful service, excellent food and snacks...and the artwork is usually great. don't forget about the small but interesting outdoor space too

Unique, New York City Style restaurant with a great cup of coffee.

Excellent food, excellent service, small, quaint shop, best huevos rancheros I've had.

enjoyed the coffee and delicious brownies, gave 4/5 only because i wish they had a better food menu

Well selected small menu, fresh and perfectly cooked. The coffee is awesome and so are the pastries. The best breakfast I had while visiting Montclair NJ.

Good food and friendly staff. Had Kombucha Smoked salmon on pumpernickel everything was very good. My daughter loved the sweet potato.

Great breakfast/brunch and coffee. Not a big place though.

If you not red people don't go there is not for you

Brunch here is amazing!!! Probably the best french toast and bacon I've ever had. Try the "dirty chai" ...delicious!!

Red Eye Cafe is a chic spot that serves up the most incredible Vanilla Chai Latte in Montclair. Their Ham, Brie and marmalade sandwich is a must for lunch! Their croissants come from the Balthazar Bakery in the NYC and they cant be beat!

Service was quick, breakfast was good, facilities were clean, and the price was appropriate.

Medium size and ntimate. Breakfast-French Toast was great. Candied Bacon Umm. Umm. Umm. Reasonable prices

One of the very best places for coffee and breakfast food you will Ever find..!! The ingredients are fresh and the food is cooked right. My personal favorite is the "Dirty Chai" because it tastes beyond incredible and who doesn't like it a little Dirty..!!

Tasty avocado, goat cheese omelette the and fabulous dirty chai

Please add the iced vanilla chai back to the DoorDash menu! Actually my favorite coffee drink of all time. Also everything breakfast related is great

The coffee is The BEST of the BEST! 5 STARS***** GREAT PLACE TO VISIT.

Pretty cute, hipster brunch spot. The wait wasn't bad at all on a Sunday afternoon (about 10 minutes) despite it being pretty small and crowded.

Their drip coffee is decent but I wasn't a fan of the meal that I got; Green Eggs and Ham. It was incredibly bland, in my opinion, and even adding mounds of hot sauce and ketchup did not help at all. The combination of ingredients in the eggs definitely has potential (I got it because it sounded really good) but they definitely need to experiment with adding more flavor.

Such interesting menu choices! They make a mean egg white, zucchini, fritatta. Definitely worth a try.
