Walking down Bloomfield Ave one evening this past week I was surprised to see that Cafe Eclectic had closed down. As many in the Montclair area know Cafe Eclectic was the long standing art cafe hangout. Upon first moving to Montclair about a year ago I had visions of spending leisurely sunday mornings there sipping lattes and reading the paper or catching up with friends. Now of course this was not to be.
My disappointment however only lasted a brief minute as I spied just down the street an open doorway with people crowding inside. Wandering inside I found that the newish coffee shop in town, Trend Coffee was having an open mic night. I ordered a tea and the waitress sat me and my friend right in front of the area being used as an impromptu stage. There was a great atmosphere watching the performers as everyone there was very enthusiastic and supportive. I felt like I had walked into Glee or High School the musical. All in all for the price of a cup of tea it was great entertainment. Maybe soon I'll have a latte there on sunday.
