We’re thrilled to announce an exciting expansion of beloved local coffee shop Track 5 Coffee! Track 5’s owner Kevin Brennan has purchased the property at 24 North Avenue East (formerly Bar Americana) and plans to transform it into a roastery. Have no fear loyal Track 5 customers – the original location will remain open as a café.

“In the years since I first opened Track 5, we’ve just continued to grow,” said Kevin. “I’ve always wanted to have my own roastery but never had the space for it. This allows me to have more control over the coffee we serve and keep up with demand as well.”

Kevin envisions the new location foremost as a roastery, but also plans to offer coffee to-go, along with some seating inside and on the back patio. “I’m aiming to open in early 2026,” said Kevin.

What convinced Kevin to make this additional investment in Cranford? “In the years that I’ve owned a business here, the downtown has become only more vibrant and draws more visitors every year. 2024 was a banner year for us and I’m confident we have the support to make this a success.”

Congratulations to Kevin on his new venture!
