T.M. Ward Coffee

the drip coffee here is the thing to start with, especially if you're the kind of person who thinks brewed coffee is where a roaster's real priorities show. t.m. ward has been roasting in newark long enough to have an actual point of view about it, and that consistency comes through. broad street isn't a quiet side-street situation, it's a main artery through downtown newark, and a roaster holding its ground at 944 broad st for as long as this one has means something in a city that keeps changing around it. regulars here aren't casual, they're loyal in the way people get when a place doesn't drift. if you make it in, the whole bean bags are worth taking home, but start with whatever's brewed that day.
