Madenat Altybat

specialty roasted coffee is the starting point here, and if you're going to main street in paterson for the first time, that's exactly where your order should begin. madenat altybat roasts in-house, which means what ends up in your cup has a shorter distance to travel from roast to brew than most places you've been to lately. paterson itself is one of new jersey's most genuinely layered cities, historically industrial, densely populated, with a food culture that runs deeper than most outsiders expect. a roaster operating independently here isn't making a soft choice. the regulars who keep coming back to 865 main st aren't quiet about it either. go mid-morning, when a fresh roast is most likely to be moving through the grinder.
