Rojo's Roastery

Swarm log in

When I worked in nearby towns I would often stop in at Rojo’s Roastery for a latte; at least once a week, and usually on Friday's. Sometimes I would sit and enjoy a latte, cappucino or cortado while consuming a muffin or scone. It was a weekly espresso drink respite.

Once I started working at places further afield, I had little time for Rojo's. Depending on the location, Metropark or New York City, the commute was between 1 to 2 hours. I wanted to be at the office by 8 AM. Rojo's opens at 7 AM. I didn't have time to visit.

But I work from home a few days a week, and I am usually telecommuting on Friday. After six months of this, it dawned on me this morning, that I had time in the morning to return to my weekly habit.

I've drunk a lot of coffee from Rojo's Roastery lately. Since I now work in the Trenton area, my commute is a little longer, I leave home a little sooner. Driving over to Rojo's Palmer Square shop is on the way so I've stopped in when I run out of coffee. Right now that seems to be the middle of the week usually on Wednesday or Thursday.

But I'll have to take some time to visit Buy the Cup this weekend. Vitali probably misses me.
