“The natural light, the historic Lackawanna station setting, the phone booth, and the downtown Montclair location are a tremendous value.

But more than that, it's a space deliberately built so that a freelancer, a founder, and someone three careers into a pivot all end up sharing a table and, occasionally, an idea. That, for me, is priceless.

I've done some of my best work here and look forward to doing much more.”

“I'm fully obsessed with RecRoom!! I moved to NJ in mid-2020 and have had a WFH job since 2017. RecRoom has been incredible on so many fronts - first, it has been a true game changer when it comes to mental health and productivity at my job. And it's the friendliest, kindest community you could hope to find. Staff and members are warm and delightful, it's a beautiful space with a beautiful vibe. Join us!”

“RecRoom is a wonderful, warm, and super accommodating co-working and meeting space, with great staff. Highly recommended!

-Dan Fast

“I wfh and joined RecRoom to get out of the house and work in the company of other humans ;) I wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s been great! Michelle and her team are super helpful and accommodating. The space is welcoming, with local art on the walls and everything you need to get thru the day (free coffee and tea, printers, phone booth, microwave, fridge, outlets for charging your devices). They host tons of events with local partners, and really go out their way to create community within the space. I recommend checking it out!”

-Heather Muskauski Miller

“I recently attended an event here and was thoroughly impressed by the vibrant atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, the warm greeting and seamless organization made for a perfect experience. Michelle is an exceptional host, and her team’s execution was flawless.”

-Ashley Wall

“Michelle and her team have created a welcoming and fun co-working space that also offers amazing events to help you with your career and/or business. Also, the coffee hits the spot!”

-Rachel Scherr

“From our very first conversation, Michelle saw our vision, believed in what we were building, and welcomed us into the space with open arms. As founders, those kinds of partnerships mean everything. She wasn’t just providing a venue—she was a true collaborator who wanted to see us succeed.

The space itself was perfect for the atmosphere we were trying to create: warm, inviting, professional, and designed in a way that naturally fostered connection and conversation. Our guests felt comfortable the moment they walked through the door.

What made the experience so special, though, was the people behind the space. Michelle and the RecRoom team were thoughtful, supportive, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping bring our vision to life. It felt less like a venue partnership and more like working alongside people who cared about the outcome as much as we did.

We’re incredibly grateful to have hosted our event at RecRoom and look forward to collaborating again in the future.”

-Made in Jersey Creative Collective

“I've had the pleasure of both hosting an event and coworking at RecRoom and highly recommend taking advantage.

Hosting an event: The kind and endlessly helpful RecRoom team made our event easy and stress-free. Their experience staging events of all sizes ensured a great layout, and thoughtful execution. And they shared on their social to complement the marketing and messaging our group put on. RecRoom is so flexible, so while it can hold up to 80 people, our mid-size event still felt perfectly comfortable and right-sized. It's my first choice for future events.

CoWorking: With space to lock in and tune everything else out, or clear your head with a quick chat and tea break, this is my favorite coworking spot (and I've tried plenty.) Everything you need, plus lovely people coworking their hearts out, and a fantastic team delivering great energy all day long.”

- Annie Norbeck

“We have hosted two events in this space. The vibe is immaculate. The staff is super accommodating, and the vibe puts our guests at ease. For the first event, we reserved a room to host interviews. Second, we rented the entire space for 5 hours. The rate was great, and they had everything we needed. Personally, will be using it for regular co-working space during the summer while the kids are home.”

-Nikki Villafane

“Easy access by bus, clean shiny environment, excellent coffee, and warm & welcoming reception staff!”

-Heli Aldridge

Michelle and Angelica are a big part of what makes the space special - they both create a warm, happy vibe that carries throughout the community.”

-Cassandra Reuter

“I recently hosted an event at the Rec Room and had a great experience. Michelle and her team were wonderful to work with. They helped promote the event and made the logistics side feel easy.

-Michele Feeley

-Steven Ocampo

“As someone who works remotely full-time, having a dedicated desk at RecRoom has made a huge difference for me. Getting out of the house and working in a welcoming, comfortable space has helped me be much more productive and focused throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy coming in and would highly recommend it.”

-Samantha Maida

“The RecRoom staff is super friendly. They helped us plan and host an event with over 30 attendees. Everyone loved it, so much so that one of our attendees booked their own event at The RecRoom not long after!”

You can drop in for the day or join as a member. It has desks, lounge areas, meeting rooms, outlets everywhere and strong WiFi. Walkable to many great eateries.”

-Jacqueline

“Its been such a pleasure to have a space to go to everyday where I can lock in and focus on my work. While I love working remotely, it was about time Montclair had its own co-working space and I couldn't be happier. The staff is incredible, so friendly and there is always a seat/plug/strong wifi!!! Highly recommend RecRoom :)”

-Julie Ruff

“RecRoom is a gem and Montclair is lucky we have such a space. We held an event there and Michelle responded promptly, was flexible with major decisions and helped make warm introductions to vendors we needed for the event. On the day of she and Luke made sure our event went off without a hitch, jumping on technical issues and making sure all our speakers were up and running with WiFi and casting to the TV. Given that these were lightning talks and we had 9 speakers one after the other every ten mins, this was no small feat. Thank you Michelle and RecRoom team!”

-Tasneem Cherry

“Lots of options for working with others around and in private spaces too. Best of all, the staff is AMAZING! If you’re looking for a chill place to work that is not at home, RecRoom is it!”

-Kendra Fitzgerald

“RecRoom has been amazing for me. Michelle and Angelica are fabulous, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them each week. I love using RecRoom as a place to collaborate or as a quiet remote place to work between kid drop-offs and community networking.

I’m so grateful for the community and relationships I’ve built here. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. One moment that really stood out was when I asked if anyone had experience with Google Ads, someone on their very first day immediately jumped in, offered on-the-spot guidance, and connected me with additional contacts. That kind of openness is what makes this space so special.

Whether I need to print something, make a connection, or just stop in for a quick reset, it’s all right there. I would absolutely recommend RecRoom to anyone looking for both a workspace and a true community.”

-Kaci Mail

“WOW, it is such a relief to have a real co-working spot in Montclair now that is free of all of the distractions of my house. Michelle and Angelica are wonderful managers who maintain a great vibe. I come for the productivity increase and unlimited coffee and stay for the Heated Rivalry book club!”
