A few weeks ago, Leo shared his talent with our community, creating incredible pastries for Faubourg's Flavor of South America event and helping make the Latinos of Montclair tasting such a special day.

Today, he needs our help.

On June 1, Leo was detained by ICE while entering a shopping center in Buffalo, New York. In an instant, a talented pastry chef, friend, and family man was separated from the people who care about him most.

Leo has a pending asylum case, a valid work permit, and a Social Security number. He has worked hard, followed the process, and built a life here.

His family and supporters are raising funds to help cover legal fees, bond, court costs, and emergency support while they work to bring him home.

If you're able to contribute, please consider donating. If you can't, sharing this post can make a real difference.

Leo has given so much to the communities he's been a part of. Let's show up for him now.

They’re back for Pride and the month of June. Inspired by oh so delicious Rainbow Cookies. “Ruby Slippers” with chocolate and espresso, and “Wicked Witch” made with chocolate and matcha. Both come with your choice of milk, mixed with our raspberry, and almond extract. Available the whole month of June. No guarantees you’ll be defying gravity

Happy Birthday to the King of Rock, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels.

A hip-hop pioneer, cultural icon, storyteller, and one of the genuinely kindest humans we’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

Thanks for the music, the wisdom, the laughs, and for proving that being legendary and being a good person can go hand in hand.

Hope today is as awesome as you are. Happy Birthday, .

King of Rock.

Now apparently king of coffee too.

The DMC Blend is what happens when hip-hop royalty and a bunch of obsessive coffee people collide in the best possible way. A collaboration between Paper Plane Coffee Co. and the legendary Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, built around craft, culture, storytelling, and really good coffee.

Bold enough to live up to the name. Smooth enough to drink every day.

Available now at Paper Plane Coffee Co.

DMC approved.

For the past year, we’ve had the surreal pleasure of getting to know the legendary Darryl “DMC” McDaniels over coffee, conversation, music, and creativity. Somewhere along the way, those hangouts turned into an actual collaboration and one of our favorite coffees we’ve ever released.

The DMC Blend is bold, smooth, and built for early mornings, late nights, creative sessions, and whatever record you’re throwing on next.

Still available now.

Hip-Hop meets hipster.

Or maybe just two worlds that have always had more in common than people think.

For the past year, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of hanging with the legendary Darryl “DMC” McDaniels over coffee, music, stories, and a lot of laughs. Somewhere along the way, those conversations turned into an actual coffee collaboration.

The DMC Blend is still here, still tasting incredible, and still one of the most surreal things we’ve ever gotten to be a part of.

Craft roasted in small batches by our team in New Jersey and built around the same thing both hip-hop and specialty coffee care deeply about: authenticity.

A lot of people know us for the coffee, but we’ve also carry some of our favorite coffee books in café for the people who like going down the caffeine rabbit hole as much as we do.

We’ve got The Devil’s Cup, which is basically coffee history told like a chaotic adventure novel. The Monk of Mokha, which somehow manages to be inspiring, stressful, beautiful, and caffeine-fueled all at once. The Coffee Book and The Blue Bottle Craft of Coffee for the people who immediately start asking questions like “what grinder do you use?” five minutes into owning a V60. And The New Art of Coffee, which is dangerously good if you’re the type of person who sees a coffee cocktail and suddenly believes you can become a mixologist overnight.

Also, one fun surreal little detail: we actually have a featured coffee mocktail recipe in Good Drinks by Julia Bainbridge, which still feels absolutely insane to say out loud.

And because coffee obsession starts young around here, we even brought in My First Book of Coffee for the tiny future baristas and café kids.

Available now in café while they last. Perfect for gifting, collecting, adding to your coffee table, or sitting down with alongside a cappuccino while pretending you’re finally going to “just read one chapter.”
