Montclair Bread Company

Amazing donuts! They are seriously like bite size pieces of heaven. My hub and and I got a breakfast sandwich on a croissant which was delicious but what I rally came for where the donuts. Me being my an indecisive person almost got 1 of everyone. I have a yet to bite into one I don’t like. These things are freaking amazing! It’s nice to go in the summer on a Saturday. Get donuts and have a nice walk down the block to a wonderful farmers market.

Have you ever looked back at an old review and thought, «Who wrote that?» When I peruse my old «I go here for the bread» review, I basically want to punch myself in the face. I don’t know when I got high on their doughnuts, but it was shortly after writing my stupid first review of this place. Since then, MBC has blown up my Instagram feed with drool-​inducing photos of their Fruity Pebbles doughnut, as well as all of the other friends (Tres Leches, Nutella — just go on the feed and get a little fatter just looking).
The quaint shop of yesteryear has expanded, but the doughnut quality has not gone down one bit. I am now what I once scoffed at, someone who thinks of MBC as their own personal doughnut shop rather than a Bread Company. The facts are pretty simple: they do everything well here from bread and sandwiches to home brewed iced teas and sweets, but seriously, if you don’t know about their doughnuts by now, crawl out from under that rock and enjoy this weather. Then go and get an assortment of six doughnuts from MBC and pretend like you’re going to share them. You won’t.

Really cute place tucked away off of busy Bloomfield Ave. The place is small but don’t let that fool you — they are serving up really great quality stuff. I ordered a Taylor ham, egg and Brie on a multigrain roll and was pleased with the clean quality of the food. I had to stuff more food in my face so I washed it down with a maple bacon doughnut. Perfect amount of savory and sweet. One is plenty though.
The doughnuts were going fast (it was National Doughnut Day) and a ton of people were squeezed in ordering bread, sandwiches and various beverages. No where to sit inside but they have a few small tables out front for those nice days.
I’ll be back and you should join me!

Ever since coming here for the first time, I cannot get my donuts anywhere else! With such a huge variety it is hard to not find a flavor to get hooked on. My personal favorite is the Tres Leches donut, but the Apple Cider and Maple Bacon are not far behind. The donuts are always fresh and worth getting there bright and early for.
On weekends the line can be out of the door and for good reason. They are well worth the wait though. I am hoping that one day they will expand their business to include an indoor seating area but for now the outdoor tables are a nice touch when the weather is pleasant.
All in all THE PLACE in northern NJ to get the best donuts around!

My go-​to spot for donuts. Prices are a bit expensive between 2 and $ 4 per donut but you’re getting a superior quality product as compared to the crap they sell at fast food donut shops. Plan to arrive early as sometimes they sell out. Street parking only. They also sell tasty breakfast sandwiches. I highly recommend the Tres Leches and jelly donuts. yum!!!

The presentation was awesome. It looks so fabiulous. I tried the sangria dougnut. It looked so decadent and savory. It was good, I just didn’t care for the consistency of the dough,. Maybe it’s me! I am a Krispy kream fan. Don’t like DD at all! I also tried the apple cider will leave it up to people who really like that flavor. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient. The cookies were top notch, tried the chocolate chip. Out of salted caramel by noon on Sunday. If you are a coffee fiend stop here, will get your heart pumpin! There was a line, so be prepared.

What a great lunch spot! Stopped in today and had an egg soufflé with Brie cheese on ciabatta bread. Was excellent! If it wasn’t so filling, I would have had one of their amazing donuts. Next time!

I recently moved to North Caldwell and my sweet tooth was kicking in. So what was I to do? Unilocal for a place where I could find yummy homemade donuts!!! Montclair Bread Company is not only a sweet treat place, but they sell breads and breakfast sandwiches as well. My friend got a brioche bread with egg and cheese and it was to die for! The place is very very small, so small that opening the door upon entering gets in the way of the food case. There is fresh coffee that you can grab yourself by the window and the staff is super friendly! I love coming here in the morning and enjoying a nice cup of coffee and pairing it with a donut!

So, it’s finals time and during finals I work on a study = rewards basis. The rewards are usually food and so, this morning I made my way to MCB for a donuts reward.
The donut case was full of options which I guess is a plus for going at a random time during the week instead of on a weekend. I opted for a selection of 6 (to share, of course!) and got the fruity pebbles, maple bacon, nutella, tres leches, just chocolate, and pistachio flower. When I got home, I obviously made a Franken-​donut out of a slice of each so I could decide which was my favorite. Verdict: a tie between the nutella and maple bacon! The icing on the nutella donut was ridiculously good and it had a nice amount of filling, while the maple bacon just hit its flavor profile on every point. I was most disappointed by the tres leches. I was expecting a sort of gooey, condensed milk center but it just seemed plain with some whipped cream on top.
Minus one star for the lackadaisical service of the two girls in the front. I asked if the pistachio FLOWER donut had any floral flavor because I loathe that rose/​lavender taste that reminds me of candles or soap. The first girl couldn’t really answer («well it has a pistachio glaze») and the second girl acted as if it were the dumbest question on earth («ummmm no the flower part of the name is because there’s a flower on it»).
I will be back to try some of their non-​donut offerings!

Make sure you come to Montclair Bread Company early enough or else your favorite donuts may be sold out! I have only tried the donuts here, but that is more than enough to have me keep coming back here!
They always promote to come early to get these donuts, since on some days if it is particular busy, many of them will sell out. I remember the last time I was here, the person in front of me got two of this particular doughnut I wanted, and there were ONLY TWO LEFT. Ahhhhh… I was not a happy camper initially, but I was satisfied with the others I had. Some of the ones I have that I liked include Tres Leches, Fruity Pebbles, Creamsickle, Maple Bacon, Apple Cider, Glazed, Nutella. I would say the specialty ones I like the most are Tres Leches and Fruity Pebbles.
However, having the specialty donuts is a bit much for me sometimes, since they are a good size. If I’m just going to eat one doughnut myself, I will be simple and have a Glazed or Apple Cider doughnut, both are no frills donuts and hit the spot! In addition, these are your cheapest option for donuts here at $ 2! The majority of the others go for $ 3 or $ 4, so be prepared to dig into that wallet if you are getting a bunch for yourself and friends.
Having these doughnuts are well-​worth it, and I would really recommend sharing and having pieces of the different varieties to see how you may like them. The establishment also will have seasonal flavors, so be on the lookout for that!

Montclair Bread Company is amazing. They offer several varieties of donuts. A must try is the maple bacon donut, which is a soft donut with gobs of maple frosting with strips of bacon on top. They also offer cereal donuts with varieties such as fruity pebbles and lucky charms.
All of the ingridents are fresh and it is recommended that you enjoy that same day.
There are also lots of different grab and go coffee options. Come to MBC early if you want to try one of their limited special flavors. Its also a tiny shop which can get crowded.

It might be hard to give a complete review, as I showed up about an hour before the closed and there wasn’t much left. I got a chocolate hazelnut donut, which was great but I really was looking forward to some of their other donut flavors. Still, it was a good price, very tasty, and purchase was made quickly. Let that be a lesson for you all, don’t wait until closing, although it sucks they close by 2 on Saturday and Sunday because I don’t often get myself out of bed and out by then. I do plan on being back for more when I can make it there earlier.

Nutella donuts? Enough said …
I was first introduced to Montclair Bread Company and their tasty donuts at a small event in Montclair. I saw fruity pebbles on a donut and just couldn’t resist. The maple bacon donut is what really tugged on my boyfriend’s heart strings. From there on, we were hooked. I’ve since bought two dozens to bring in for co-​workers and classmates. Both times they were a hit.
As mentioned before, currently there are Nutella, Dulce de Leche, and Apple Cider flavored donuts, all available in both regular and mini. What’s not so appealing is the price tag. I paid $ 32 for a variety dozen.
Beware: these donuts are meant to be consumed fresh! Twice I’ve stopped by the shop at 6am and once I arrived at my destination, made sure they were gone before 10am (pretty easy to do). Made with all natural ingredients, none of the stuff that keeps it preserved while sitting on the shelf but rots your insides. If all natural means it’ll become a little stale, that’s a-​okay with me.

*** Sunday Donuts ***
Its def something to experience! MBC is a cool spot on Sunday to get a nice sweet tooth fix. It’s said if you go early, you’ll enjoy the long lines and fresher donuts. I opt’d to go around closing and I wasn’t disappointed.
This spot is nice and intimate like an über studio Manhattan apartment! Be prepared to grab and go folks. Street parking honestly sucks, so I recommend coming with someone as double parking rocks lol! Now that all the Cons are laid out…
Here’s what you can enjoy:
— The coffee is great!
— Nutella filled donut.
— Maple Bacon donut.
— Fruity pebbles donut.
— Just Chocolate donut.
— S’mores donut.
Yup Yup I enjoyed them all in that exact order =). If you’re lucky you can experience the mini or regular versions. One of these days, I’d love to go back and taste the bread — But for now I’ll rock out with the amazing donuts and keep it moving. Try em out and enjoy some sweet calories folks!

Boo Boo and I have been watching people doing cheat day videos on the YouTube. People on top physical condition having crazy cheat days with over 20k calories. We watched a dude eat a dozen krispy crème donuts and then made his own bacon and donut sandwiches with Reese peanut butter. Really it’s a thing look it up on YouTube.
So, we wanted donuts and figured I wake up early and surprise my Boo Boo for V-​day with some good donuts. The fancy kind, people in Montclair can get.
MBC is tiny. Only street parking. There’s plenty when its 7am on a Sunday morning. Credit card accepted with that square machine. I got 1 of each kind. Got banana foster, red velvet, the v-​day one, champagne and raspberry, and a glazed. I can not afford to purchase more donuts to do the cheat day challenges. I could it if was shoprite donut prices. Btw, shoprite makes great donuts. Lots of sugar but they are great. I’m not a fan of dunkin. Krispy kreme fresh like I’ve had in Cali are the best! Shout out to donut plant on Grand street which MBC tries to bite off from.
I’d come back since donut plant is in NYC.
I would try bread here one day. But, I like the shoprite price: P

Confused by the stellar reviews…
For a place that sells only donuts and coffee, you’d expect the donuts to be good. I was expecting the hot chocolate donut I bought to actually taste like something besides dough.
Really disappointing and I won’t be back.

After following Montclair Bread’s instagram for over a year, I finally went over there with my husband, sister and her fiancé. I was really excited… almost too excited. Unfortunately, they fell below my expectations. I received the wrong sandwiches and a dirty Mason jar for my drink. I understand that everyone has their off days so I may try them again in the future. The food was good but the service was pretty poor.
I ordered a shaken coffee drink which came in a Mason jar ($ 5; tasted ok; nothing special about it), two donuts (a King Kong and a Fruity Pebbles donut), and two breakfast sandwiches. I was curious about the soufflé egg and ordered that for myself with cheese and bacon. My husband ordered a regular egg, sausage and cheese sandwich on a croissant. I was not told that the soufflé egg would take twice as long to receive until i checked in nearly 30 minutes later. If I had received warning, I would have just ordered a regular egg sandwich.
After a 40 minute wait, both my husband and I received the wrong orders. We were so hungry that we ate them anyway. In fact, there was another order for Christine/​Kristine called 10 minutes earlier. A gentleman from the kitchen confirmed that it wasn’t mine but I have no idea how he would know since I had not ordered with him. To this day, I wonder if the other woman received our sandwiches.
The biggest problem with my experience occurred with my shaken coffee. After filling the jar, the woman who made my drink dropped the jar lid onto the floor. Instead of washing it or grabbing a new lid, she placed it directly onto the jar and sealed it with the metal ring. I dont think she was aware that I was watching so she handed it to me. Excuse me?! I asked her to make me another drink since I saw the wet jar lid fall to the floor. She didn’t deny or argue with me, nor did she apologize or try to make up for it. This really bothered me.
The donuts alone tasted okay. Almost overly sweet. However, since my coffee wasn’t too sweet, they tasted great together. The deep flavor of the coffee gave it some balance. I may try their food again in the future, but I certainly hope that the service improves. Most importantly, I hope that cleanliness is at the top of their list of priorities.

Very cute storefront on Walnut. Its a cute area, a few other small places there as well, and a bakery across the street too. Open early in the day everyday, there’s a lot of «rising before the sun» happening here.
Bread prices seem reasonable but the donut prices are out of site. I came by here early on a weekend to pick up some of the donuts both people I know and the Unilocal reviews raved about. Yes, original flavors. But soooooo sweet. IDK, I’m not the target audience I guess. But I find $ 2.50 a donut (ave price of 4 I bought) ridiculous. The loaf of bread I picked up was $ 6 — and worth it.
I’d come back for the bread. But I’ll be skipping the donuts.
I can only give 2 stars as a result. I’ve had «as good or better» elsewhere for less. But the bread we tried rocked and I’ll try other types next time I’m in the area.
Street parking.

Since my first experience having MBC, I have been on the rage to try all of the donuts establishments that I can seem to visit. Additionally, I’ve been to MBC several times afterwards to try all of their creative flavors.
While MBC which I believe, has had a great variety of flavors to choose from. There are two things that bump them down from my initial 5.0 stars down to 4.0: 1. Flavor Execution 2. High density.
In my opinion, MBC donuts are slightly more dense than what I really truly enjoy. MBC donuts hold up and show true integrity when it comes to their stuffed donuts (–ie — Jelly, Nutella), but other than that, their denseness is a little disappointing and at times, chewy to eat. Yeast donuts should be fluffy, airy, and light.
I am not entirely sold on all their flavors either. Again, their stuffed donuts, Nutella and Jelly are great! They did Ghost-​shaped jelly donuts for Halloween last year that was super cute and fun! However, I have tried their most recent APPLE CIDER and honestly thought it was almost similar to an OLD FASHIONED donut. Their TRES LECHES could use more milk or cream in my opinion and a longer soak like a true Tres Leches cake. Their KING CONE could have perfect if they served it sandwich style with ice cream in the middle!
MBC is not all about donuts, but I know donuts are their most popular items.
I appreciate their variety and creativity, but MBC at times lacks fundamental craft on their donuts. But don’t get me wrong, the service is great and their traditional breads are excellent too. Who doesn’t love the fact that their iced coffees come with ice cubes made of coffee instead of water!!!

I love this place … I love how every 3 – 6 months they come out with a new delicious donut … I have been here so many times and have not written a review but my recent visit made me fall in love with the 3 leches donuts…
Any thing 3 leches is a reason for me to try so when I saw the Montclair bread was featuring a new donut and it was 3 leches the drive up to Montclair was a must…
The donut was everything I’ve imagined…
It was fluffy and not overly sweet and it tasted exactly like a 3 leches cake … YES all in donut…
Of course I needed a latte to go along with my donut and even the presentation of the latte in a to-​go was cute and unique…
Will I come back???
Oooh yeahhhhh…
