Paterson is a dozen accounts and one of the shortest drives on our map: straight up Main Avenue or Route 20 from our warehouse in Passaic. We deliver across the city — South Paterson's Main Street, Downtown around Market Street, the Eastside, the Totowa section on the west bank of the river, Lakeview and Hillcrest (07501, 07502, 07503, 07514 and 07522).
Two of our trucks cross Paterson every night. One works the city between about midnight and 1:30 AM; the other comes through between about 3:15 and 6:30 AM. Seven mornings a week, Sunday included, which matters in a city where the markets open early and stay open late.

Who we serve in Paterson
Markets and groceries buy most of what we bring into Paterson, and the order book says why: eight-inch hero loaves and kaiser rolls are the two biggest lines, then jumbo bagels, hamburger rolls, pullman white bread by the case and croissants. Cafés, delis and bagel shops round out the book, alongside the sandwich counters inside the groceries. South Paterson's Middle Eastern bakeries make some of the best flatbread in New Jersey; we bring the rolls, heroes and bagels that they and their neighbours do not bake themselves.
The morning in Paterson
Paterson deliveries happen while the city sleeps, so we agree how the bread gets in when we map each stop, and every drop is logged in our driver app the moment it lands. Because the warehouse is minutes away, a store that opens to find something missing can call a warehouse that is already awake, and a driver still on the second pass can loop back the same morning.

- Locally baked daily — never frozen mass-market product.
