We’re thrilled to announce the opening of two new businesses in the Downtown Cranford community!

Last weekend was the soft opening of Bread de la Vie, located at 30 North Avenue East. The bakery is full of baked goods of all kinds, including breads, cookies, muffins, croissants, scones, tarts, and more! Bread de la Vie also has a variety of dessert breads, coffee, and sandwiches. Its normal operating hours are 7AM-6PM, Tuesday through Sunday and it can be reached at (908) 276-2155.

Coffee and tea lovers, we have great news for you. Thanks to a change in NJ brewery laws, The Morning Roast at Yale Terrace is now sharing space with Yale Terrace Brewery at 26 Eastman Street! Alex, the owner of The Morning Roast, can be found serving up quality coffee and tea drinks 7 days a week, starting from early in the morning until the brewery opens for business.

Alex has loved coffee since he was a teenager and has spent years working to perfect his technique. Though The Morning Roast has only been open a short time, Alex already has customers who stop in on a regular basis. “I’ve received great feedback so far,” he said. “I love talking with customers and want to make sure they don’t feel intimidated when they walk in the door. I work hard to provide an approachable take on coffee.” The Morning Roast offerings include Lattes, Americanos, and Cappuccinos, as well additional espresso drinks, tea, and lemonade. To stay up to date on their offerings and hours of operation, customers can follow The Morning Roast on social media.
