The Essex County area is already full of delicious coffee spots — and we always welcome a new one — but there’s a new spot coming to town that is looking to combine java with fitness. Enter Pilatte, a brand new reformer and mat pilates studio that will also feature a coffee bar for locals. Pilatte is opening in Upper Montclair this summer, and we’re sharing everything we know so far about the new studio that’s just for women. Read on for more about Pilatte, a pilates studio x coffee bar coming to Montclair, New Jersey.
The Details
Pilatte was designed just for women, and provides both pilates and the option to purchase coffee drinks before and after a workout. The location has yet to be revealed, but we do know the studio is opening in Upper Montclair. The Pilatte team shared with The Montclair Girl that construction should be done by the end of week.

The fitness studio will host reformer and mat pilates classes, all of which are for women-only. The spot is also a Hijabi-friendly space, per its Instagram bio. Coffee drinks will be available for purchase at the space before and after classes, making it a one-stop-shop for both a cup of java and a good workout.
“It will be a safe space for women to workout and have fun,” the Pilatte team told MG. “To build a community and meet other women, enjoy working out, and get the luxury of purchasing coffee and drinks before and after workout classes.”
An exact opening date is not known as of this writing, but we do know that Pilatee is looking to open this June, per Instagram. This post will be updated with any further comments.

Jonas Brothers Spotted at Nutley Rita’s + Other North Jersey Locations
What a man (or a Montclair Girl) gotta do for a Jonas Brothers sighting in North Jersey? Well, you're in luck, because the Wyckoff-born-and-raised brothers were spotted checking out several North Jersey locations on the afternoon of April 28th, as seen on the @jonasbrothers Instagram. While we can't confirm exactly all the locations, Nick, Joe, and Kevin were seen hanging out at a Nutley Rita's in addition to what looks to be the NYC skyline and a few local North Jersey spots. Now we know this was for an album shooting for "Greetings From Your Hometown." Here are our findings:

The @jonasbrothers Instagram account posted a video of Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas in front of the NYC skyline on Monday, April 28th, with an eyes emoji. It appeared to be Hoboken or Jersey City, but could have also been the Fort Lee/Edgewater area or Brooklyn.

The IG story was followed by another video of the brothers at a local bar as well as a local restaurant with red and white checkered tablecloths. Our sister brand @thehobokengirl speculated that it could be local pizza spot Johnny Pepperoni, but the walls don’t match. Several MG readers took to the comments of our Instagram post to say they thought the spot was Belmont Tavern in Belleville. Still, it is unconfirmed as to where the spots are.
Also on Nick and Joe’s IG stories that day were photos of what appeared to be a Nutley Rita’s. A Google Street View search revealed that the location matches the background on the IG stories.

As per an Instagram post made by the Jonas brothers on May 1st, now we know that this was in fact the Rita's in Nutley. According to the caption, the reason why they were traveling around the Northern New Jersey area was for an album shoot for"Greetings From Your Hometown," set to be released on August 5th, 2025.
