We created a welcoming third space where we can get out of our homes to work, study, meet and hang out - right here in Montclair, NJ.

We were sick of living in Montclair and working in our messy homes with endless distractions or loud, crowded coffee shops with spotty WiFi.

We dropped in on coworking space after coworking space but couldn’t believe it when they didn’t have phone booths, lounge areas - or members!

The spaces we were craving were in NYC - but willingly riding NJ Transit on the regular is never the answer. So we created a welcoming “third space” where we can get out of our homes to work, study, meet and hang out - right here in Montclair, NJ.

A space that prioritized community as much as coworking. A space where we can work and play, relax and recharge. A space where we’d actually want to spend the day. A space that’s accessible and inclusive to all.

Rec Room is a space that prioritizes:

Diversity, equity and inclusion

Local Non-profits
We donate 1% of our profits each month to different local orgs. Watch this space to see where that money goes - and contact us with any recommendations.

Local Businesses
Anything we serve or distribute at Rec Room comes from a Montclair business. Current partners include Sankofa Café, with more to come.
