Catalano Coffee Company

cold brew or a straight espresso are the obvious calls here, but if you're unsure what to order, let the people who keep coming back guide you: they don't show up to maple ave out of convenience. catalano coffee company sits on a quiet stretch of fair lawn, nj, the kind of town where a good local spot gets tested hard by word of mouth alone, and this one has held up. you don't need a reason to stop in beyond wanting something done with actual care and intention rather than speed. the regulars here are loyal in the specific way people get when a place doesn't slip. fair lawn is a 15-minute drive from manhattan, but catalano feels like its own thing entirely, not a satellite of anywhere. start with the espresso.
