Caffeine jitters... that's exactly what I got after drinking a delicious 16 oz Iced Mocha Latte (~$6). These might be some of the strongest espresso shots I've had. I had some serious crackhead energy after this drink LOL. I was ready to run for president, start a YouTube channel, and take over the world!!! All jokes aside, you gotta love coffee that is not only tasty, but STRONG. Catalano Coffee is a small business that does it right. The owner is super passionate and knowledgeable about the industry. They serve locally roasted organic coffee from around the world. This is the place to experiment with different roasts and origins to find the pour of your dreams. Pricing is a bit higher than other cafes, but I'm willing to pay more for high quality beans. I've tried a couple of different drinks and my favorites are the specialty lattes. I recommend the maple and mocha lattes if you want something that is on the sweeter (but not sickeningly sweet) side. The baristas know how to create the right balance of steamed milk and espresso. The espresso is deep and rich. The additional flavors are not overpowering and add the right amount of natural sweetness to the bitter notes. This is a quiet and cozy spot to sip on a drink while getting work done. There's comfortable furniture, free wifi, and outlets. Very simple decor with a bright, welcoming atmosphere. It's easy to miss because it's located in a small plaza, but don't hesitate to try their coffee if you're around the area!

Pour over and some delightful fall decor!

I've been making the rounds of northern Jersey on Saturday mornings. Picking up produce and poultry for the week and stopping for breakfast, lunch, or coffee. I had seen Catalano on Yelp and knew they have pour over coffee. My idea of a great coffee shop includes pour over coffee. Catalano takes my idea of greatness to the next level! First impressions are the shop is modern, clean, and bright. Steve (the barista) was knowledgeable and friendly. They had a number of bean choices at various roast levels for pour overs. He recommended the Tolima coffee from Colombia and I agreed. I had a seat in a luxurious armchair, so delightful! Moments later, the pour over was ready. I had been reading for a few minutes but one of the customers had been a coworker of Steve's and they were discussing their passion for coffee and travel. I ended up enjoying a really nice conversation with the customer. What wasn't lost on me during the lovely conversation in the delightful chair was that the coffee was outstanding! Smoothly roasted and perfectly brewed, I was tasting nuances that I'm not always capable of. Really great experience! I look forward to returning!

I love a cozy cafe. In fact, that's precisely what I typed into my Google maps search bar while my husband and I were randomly in the area and in need of a quiet place to get some work done. Catalano was not only the closest, but also the most positively rated. In this case, reviews didn't lead us wrong. While the cafe is located in a somewhat random complex, there's plenty of parking and what doesn't like much on the outside leads to a warm, quiet and well-designed space on the inside. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I was immediately impressed by the heavy duty espresso machine that greets you at the counter. For fellow chai drinkers, I can assure you that the same care that's given to coffee drinks are also given to other beverages. Some chai lattes can be overly spicy, but I liked the blend here. Inside, there's a good combination of tables and sofas to suit most needs, and there were even a few board games in the corner for those who want to have a little fun while sipping. On a Sunday afternoon, things were super chill and quiet (though bear in mind that the cafe has shortened hours of operation on Sundays). Finally, a quick shoutout to the sweet woman behind the counter who indulged us in a quick focus group as we were trying to design a logo. Great atmosphere, fantastic people, and very decent beverages are to be found here. I didn't get to try any of the pastries this time around, but I'll hopefully be back again because they looked delectable.

Came to visit my best friend here in Jersey from Kansas City and she brought me to her fave local coffee spot i see why! The owner, Dominic and the crew here are such a delight! The sweetest vibes, such a cozy feel, coffee is fantastic and the welcome is so warm. Oh and they're fur baby friendly - highly recommend you all stopping by.

Coconut cold brew with oat milk. YUM

I've been meaning to try this place for a while now.. Finally stopped by this morning, and I'm SO happy I did! This was seriously the best coffee I've ever had! (Says a lot, as I have been drinking coffee for many years!) I ordered the coconut cold brew. Yum! Such a clean taste. No yucky aftertaste like many coffees leave, no bitterness, just a very clean, nicely flavored coffee. The barista was nice and helpful :) I was told all of their coffee selections are organic - you can seriously taste the difference! No jittery feeling either.. They also carry some bakery treats, including gluten-free options which is nice! Cute decor as well. I will definitely return, I don't want any other coffee ever again lol

Juan's Mocha

Great ambiance - very comfortable to hang out and enjoy the music and coffee. Had Juan's Mocha and it's good - maybe a little sweet for me but I like bitter chocolate.

Probably the best latte I've ever been served. Excellent biscotti as well. A real find deep in suburbia.

Great quality coffee! Every cup is done as a pour over, but it is worth the short wait. The coffee has nuanced flavors.

It was my first time trying Cabana Coffee Company and safe to say I'm OBSESSED…read more Let's start off by someone who loves traveling just for a new coffee shop, this place was extremely welcoming. The barista Amanda assisted me with so much patience just about a couple of minutes before closing. I didn't know what to get and she recommended me to try the brown sugar cinnamon with vanilla. Safe to say today I'm back to get it again! Love the vibes, atmosphere, people, and coffee here. This is going to be my new go-to spot! :)

Ok, I retired from writing reviews but you know…read more.. I started this third-wave coffee journey after realizing I was mostly buying coffee from larger stores where the roast dates were usually two to three months old. One month old if I got lucky. And listen, there are some great third-wave coffee roasters on those shelves but the problem is freshness. At the time, I was deep into the pour-over coffee rabbit hole, and I kept passing this little coffee spot with a sign that basically said "Need more coffee? We roast it here," with arrows pointing down. And for some reason, I kept ignoring it. The sign wasn't fancy. It wasn't trying to be trendy. It didn't have the polished third-wave café aesthetic from the outside. It was just a simple roadside sign telling you exactly what mattered: they roast coffee here. Eventually I thought, "Wait a minute. If they're roasting coffee right here, why am I still buying bags from bigger stores with roast dates that are two to three months old?" So one day, I finally pulled in. Immediately - and I mean immediately - I realized I had completely judged this place wrong. This was a serious third-wave coffeehouse. And honestly, when you think about it, the sign is actually genius. A sinple sign that says "Need more coffee? We roast it here" is probably only going to attract people who actually care about proper coffee. Classic case of don't judge a book by its cover. Because now? I can't really get my coffee anywhere else. I've had some of the best coffees here. One year they had this Colombian Santa Maria light roast, high-elevation that totally changed my mind about Colombian coffees. I had always thought of Colombian coffees as more medium-roast, classic coffee profiles, but that one opened my eyes. Right now, they have this Fara Estate Nicaraguan light-medium roast that is absolutely delicious. They have a serious-looking pour-over setup with custom V60 holders and gooseneck kettle setup, so you can tell this is not just a place that sells coffee. This is a place that actually understands coffee. If you're the kind of person who checks roast dates, owns a V60, argues with yourself about grind size, or has ever fallen way too deep into the coffee rabbit hole, this place is worth stopping for. And if you're not that person yet, this might be the place that turns you into one.
