Red Eye Café in Montclair is a true neighborhood gem — cozy, creative, and effortlessly cool. The vibe strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively, making it a great spot for weekend brunch or a casual weekday coffee. Their menu leans fresh and inventive, with hearty breakfast plates, seasonal ingredients, and plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. The coffee is exceptional — rich, smooth, and clearly brewed with care. Service is consistently warm and welcoming, even during the busiest hours. Whether you’re in for their signature breakfast sandwich, a decadent stack of pancakes, or

Red Eye Cafe is my absolute favorite brunch spot. The food is exceptional, with fresh, local ingredients. The Salmon BLT is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Their coffee is great, the staff is super friendly, and makes you feel at home. The cozy vibe, complete with a charming outdoor patio, is perfect for a relaxing brunch or quick lunch. Red Eye Cafe is a Montclair treasure—highly recommend!

The food was great! Totally enjoyed the breakfast. Seems there's something on the menu to make everyone happy. We got the chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, breakfast ramen (the soup was very original/unique and the noodles were great), and the kids had the chocolate chip pancakes. All were delicious. I also appreciated their seasonal menu and enjoyed the coquito latte. We read some of the books on the shelves while waiting for our food, enjoyed the ambiance and friendly service. Will definitely be back!
