NY-NJ Coffee roasters
Hi everyone:
I'm moving to central NJ from Chicago and will have to leave my beloved Intelligentsia coffee behind (except for the occasional mail order). Any suggestions for excellent New York area coffee roasters that I should try?

I like Gorilla Coffee in Brooklyn. Whole Foods in Manhattan carries them which is handy. Cafe Grumpy's Heartbreaker Blend is also highly recommended. It's roasted by Novo Coffee and shipped next day to Grumpy.

Both Grumpy and 9th St. Espresso have also been known to cup Counter Culture's Toscano Blend. Grumpy will sporadically carry a "reserve" bean, often from Ritual or 49th Coffee Roasters. My recommendation is to just go there and talk to the baristas (especially Ed or Cheryl), because they're love to talk geek/coffee.

D'Amico's at 309 Court St. in Brooklyn has been roasting their own beans on the premises for ages and ages. Great prices and a huge number of beans to choose from. One of the few old-school places remaining in an increasingly gentrifying neighborhood, and well worth going out of your way to patronize.

I'm a fan of Oren's French roast or Celebes roast. They're widely available around Manhattan. Also WholeFoods does a nice range which are roasted daily.

I carry Intelli as well as Novo and Ecco at our shop in Northern NJ. So if your feeling like Black Cat, we got it.
