Robert and Adele Genovese have lived in Montclair for 15years, so they know their community well. And now they’ re serving it at
LOCAL COFFEE, their sleek new gathering place. Robert, whose family owned a New York dive bar for 60 years, studied hospitality in college, and worked in marketing for The Plaza Hotel and Hyatthotel chains, as well as for Kenneth Cole’ s media team. His ability to match quality goods with the right market serves him well at the couple’ s gathering place, which serves not only Irving Farm coffee made with hand-selectedbeans, but aselection of curated treats. Among theseare world-competition-winning chocolates from upstate New York, classic French pastries from Balthazar and donuts from Dough, the latter two sources based in Manhattan. Robertsaysthat his interest in“ coffee culture” stems from time spent in Venice Beach, Calif., Portugal and Italy, where“ coffee shops are epicenters of the community.” Now wecan add Montclair to that list.
