Clifton is next door. Our warehouse sits on Dayton Avenue in Passaic, a few blocks from the Clifton line, and Clifton is more than a dozen accounts, spread across Botany Village and Lakeview, Allwood and Richfield, Athenia and Montclair Heights (the 07011, 07012 and 07013 zip codes).
Because Clifton is home turf it gets two passes a night. One truck works Clifton between about 11:30 PM and 1:15 AM; the other between about 3:15 and 6:30 AM. Seven mornings a week, Sunday included, and if a count is short the warehouse is close enough that it can usually be made good the same morning.

Who we serve in Clifton
Bagel shops and delis lead the Clifton book, with pizzerias, breakfast counters and sandwich shops along Main Avenue, Van Houten Avenue and the Route 3 and Route 46 corridors behind them. Eight-inch hero loaves are the most-ordered item in town — the sub trade — followed by jumbo bagels in plain, everything and sesame, kaiser rolls, buttered rolls and cream-cheese bagels for the morning case, and a steady line of pullman bread, pastries and muffins.
The morning in Clifton
Being ten minutes away changes how we work Clifton. A driver who finds a door still locked at 1 AM can loop back at the end of the run, and a bagel shop that runs short on a Saturday can call a warehouse that is minutes up Dayton Avenue. Forty years on these streets means our drivers know which lots fill up, which back doors face the alley, and which stores want the delivery stacked inside rather than left at the step.
