Yellow Door

Yellow Door is the ultimate neighborhood coffee shop! From delicious pastries to creamy almond lattes, everything is a delight. And OMG, the salads--they've converted me, and I'm not even a salad person! It's an absolute must-try.

Delicious breakfast sandwich. We regularly stop by to pick one up when we head out for a trip up to Napa. Coffee is good, and they have a decent selection of pastries.There a a couple of tables outside on the sidewalk, where we sit with our dog.

Local Montclair sandwich & salad cafe. Came here after my usual nail appt because I'm starving. Decided to go for the healthy option and got the salmon power bowl. Removing a star because the salmon was delicious but for $21 I feel like the size of the salmon was a smidge too small for what you pay for. The amount of avocado was also pretty paltry. The rest of the bowl was generous with the super thin slices of cucumber, cauliflower rice, edamame, and slices of fennel, red cabbage, and onion were plentiful. It's nice they have individually wrapped compostable utensils and tapatio packets for those that like more spice in their food. The Rishi tea packet selection was also impressive, as was their pastry and cookie selection. Their to go fridge has a good collection of grab and go items. Will come back to try the Asian Salad and their chicken salad sandwich.

I was in Oakland and wanted to get a matcha since I'm not a coffee drinker and saw this place appear and had. Finding the place wasn't too hard since the door is literally the name of the shop, a Yellow Door! It was made it very unique and it was nice and clean inside. They offered a variety of drinks and food. I really wanted to like my drink due but I have to say it was probably the worst matcha latte I ever had. I saw the barista prepare the drink and noticed he used a lot of milk, which watered the whole drink and I did not taste a hint of matcha. I would not come back for the matcha but may be open to check out the food options in the future if I'm back in the area.

Ambiance: Cute inviting locale in the Montclair Village that has both cafe style seating to have a coffee date with a friend and high bar stools with marble desks and nice accents that makes it feel very homey inside. The big windows and sunroof allow for natural light to illuminate the space which is a great change of pace if you're stuck inside all day. You'll be tempted by all the pastries and to go options behind the glass displays that it'll perk up your hunger just standing in line. Service: this place is very popular and you'll most likely see a line but it moved quickly. The workers are welcoming and work very quickly. Food came out after about 5-10 minutes after ordering. They forgot to add in the lentils and quinoa to this for my plate so that sucks. Food: Special Bowl: (4/5) Off-menu item that is a good mix of arugula, butternut squash, pita chips, and hummus. The pita chips provide a much needed crunch to this otherwise soft food dish. The butternut squash will add some carbs while you'll get half your daily need of greens from the arugula. I heard you can dress this up with hot sauce and while I didn't do this I agree it could use something to liven it up a bit. I didn't get to try it with the quinoa or lentils but otherwise a good option to try, I would prefer to try other things though. Breakfast sandwich: (4/5) eggs, sausage, cheese, English muffin. Nothing fancy here but what separates this above others is the smoky romesco sauce. Almost like a tapatio but a little more smoke to it really makes it special. They toast the bread nicely so you get a crunch texture to the muffin without burning it. Would certainly get it again.

Yellow Door is one of the best places for a bite in Montclair. There really are not enough high quality breakfast/lunch/coffee/baked good places like this around the east bay! Very good coffee, delicious baked goods and simple breakfast choices, amazing salads and I must say their chicken salad sandwich is outstanding in flavor and texture. It's one of those sandwiches you take a first bite and say, 'OH MY G'!!!! So VERY tasty. The roll is a perfect soft but not too soft compliment to the chunky fresh chicken salad within. You must try this sandwich if in the area!

This place is crazy popular for a reason. Really solid breakfast and lunch options. The turkey sandwich and breakfast sandwich are awesome.

Love this wonderful neighborhood place! Their coffee and espresso are delicious. The food offerings are unique and really yummy. Counter service is quick and friendly. It's a fairly small spot but I've always managed to get a place to sit, sometimes after a brief wait.

The best spot to get fresh good food to feed your soul in Montclair.. I'm hooked on this place and never kno what to get each time.. this year I feel in love with kale salads.. and they have solid flavors for everything on the menu.. but u have to come in a timely manner be prepared to wait or if your not early enough they sell out.. many vegetarian options but u could always add some chicken to your order.. some prepared food in the fridge .. indoor or outdoor seating available..

The food was pretty good I got the veggie sandwich and enjoyed it . The coffee was good as well. We came on a rainy day but the space is small but nice. The service is very efficient. The food/coffee was good but expensive, so if you don't mind the price point it's a good place to pop in and try.
