I love everything about this place. Coffee is delicious every time. Pastries have good variety, have gluten free options, and are delicious! I understand they need to have days off so no judgement there. But Mondays and Tuesdays are my most free days and they are closed those days :(

Super cute space, a tiny step up at the front door so I don't know how that would work for people in wheeled devices, but I was limping kinda hard when I came in and I was able to navigate it easily. Delicious food with gluten free and vegetarian options. Delicious gluten free desserts, and fantastic rotisserie chicken.

A low-key breakfast spot with fair prices and simple fare, but expect slow service and thin bacon that might leave you wanting more.

The iced vanilla decaf latte with oat milk was smooth and delightful. The impossible burger with gluten-free bread was average. Definitely needed a better plate presentation. The side salad dressing had too much vinegar.

Food was absolutely delicious! Will come here again with friends! They even have gluten free options for my fiancé! They have the most amazing BREAD as appetizers and the service here was nice, quick, and smooth! I would definitely come back to try other foods! Amazing atmosphere! All their cocktail drinks were delicious! Ordered the Burrata Ravioli! Huge fan of pesto pasta! Only downside was the portion, it was on the smaller end, however the taste was absolutely amazing!

The food was so delicious! My friend and I got this platter to share with hummus, shawarma, eggplant salad, and beets salad. They provided regular pita and gluten free laffa for my friend. Really delicious and nutritious!

Thank you Mario for the best specialty pizza I’ve had since learning about my gluten allergy! Cauliflower crust was definitely the better choice and my leftovers even reheated great!!!

Da Pepo is hands down Montclair’s best. Everything we’ve tried has been exceptional -- from their menu staples to their amazing specials. Their gluten free pasta is the best we’ve ever had! The ambiance is cute and cozy, and truly perfect for so many occasions. (A restaurant surrounded by books is a dream!) We recently used them for catering our rehearsal dinner and could not have been happier. The process was super easy and all of our guests raved about the food.

Okay WOW.. the gluten-free veggie bibimbap with beef. Sooo good. I was afraid for a sec cause the chef/waiter was joking with me that it didn’t taste good and that the regular one was made with soy sauce which is why it tastes better. I assured him I understood but that gluten doesn’t like me, he said he would hook me up. It was that perfectly cooked hot stone bowl bibimbap. The gf sauce he had was delicious. Tangy, a dash spicy and a little bit sweet. I want to go back asap. My friends got a molten Kimchi Chigae and said it was the best he ever had. Other friend got beef bulgogi which was a lot of meat. She enjoyed it. And other friend got something with octopus. Highly recommend this place for the quality of flavor and food preparation as well as the friendly service.

My husband and I finally made it out to have dinner at Le Souk. We have been living in the area forever and yet it was our first time. And we were very pleasantly surprised! First, we were welcomed by the very cozy and intimate atmosphere coming in from freezing temperatures. We loved the “cluttered” decor and the delicious smells of spices in the air. The menu suited our vegetarian and my gluten-free diet and the dishes very absolutely scrumptious! The service was excellent and the even chef came out to inquire after our experience. We will certainly be back!
