About us

J.McLaughlin's Montclair store is located on Bellevue Avenue in the Upper Montclair business district. Close to New York City, our charming uptown location is just off Valley Road and across the street from the historic St. James Episcopal Church. As you're browsing our in-store selection, keep in mind that we offer personal shopping, complimentary gift wrapping, and complimentary alterations services to make your J.McLaughlin experience as smooth as possible.
After shopping in Montclair, stroll through the beautifully curated estate of the Van Vleck House and its gardens. Don't forget to check out Montclair's thriving arts community, either. Along with local galleries, one must-see spot is the Montclair Art Museum, where you can view exhibitions of classic American and Native American art — if you've got time, you can take pottery lessons there, too. Should you be in town around spring, stop by the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens for gorgeous views of over 100,000 blooms.
To fuel your Montclair excursion, pick up a delicious latte from Java Love or sit down for the famous fried chicken at Turtle + the Wolf. You can also indulge your sweet tooth at il Laboratorio del Gelato, which features a rotating selection of over 300 gourmet sorbet and gelato flavors.
If you catch local events in town, be sure to stop by and say hi if you see us — J.McLaughlin is a member of the Upper Montclair Business Association, and we participate in events such as the annual Ladies Night Out and townwide Sidewalk Sale. If you want to know other must-visit places for dining and sightseeing, our local staff is more than happy to share insider tips.
