Artisan breads, buttery pastries, and carefully sourced coffee — all made from scratch each morning at our Valley Road kitchen.
Loved by locals — serving Montclair since day one
Our Story
Skip to my Brew started with a simple conviction: the best bread doesn't need shortcuts. No improvers, no rush, no compromises. Just flour, water, salt, and time — the way it should be.
Our bakers arrive before dawn so that by the time you walk in off Valley Road, the smell of freshly baked sourdough and flaky croissants is already waiting for you. Every loaf, every pastry, every cup of coffee is prepared with the same care we'd expect at our own table.
We've been a quiet part of the Montclair neighborhood ever since we opened our doors — the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name and the bread comes out of the oven at the same time every morning.

The Craft
We don't rush dough. Our sourdough ferments for 24 to 48 hours, developing complex flavors and a crumb structure you can't replicate with commercial yeast. The result is bread with depth — a tangy crust, an open interior, and a crust that shatters when you break it.
Our pastries follow the same philosophy. Layers of dough and butter, folded by hand, rested between turns, and baked until every flake separates cleanly. It takes more time. It's worth it.

"The sourdough here changed how I think about bread. I drive from three towns over just to get a loaf."
