As its name implies, wraps are the specialty here. Though not vegetarian, this eatery is very veg-friendly. Of some 13 featured wraps, 6 are vegetarian (actually vegan); and of 10 sandwiches, half are vegetarian. There is also a freshly made vegetarian soup of the day, and an impressive variety of juices and smoothies, made fresh to order. The owners make it a point to use as much organic produce as possible.

Though It’s a Wrap is relatively new (not even two years old), it’s not hard to see why it has already garnered a loyal clientele, drawn mainly from the local community plus the other “Oranges,” Maplewood, and Newark. I enjoyed meeting the owners, Elaine and Russ Gordon, and agree with Elaine’s simple philosophy: “If you serve good, tasty, healthy food, people will come.” I heartily agree, and hope we will be able to pay a return visit to this charming oasis.
