October is here, which means everyone else is putting pumpkin spice into anything that will hold still, and we can finally stop telling people the ube comes back in October.

The Ube Normal and Young Frank are back.

These are the most popular drinks we make all year. That is not marketing exaggeration. People genuinely call us about them every week.

Each one starts with a spritz of cinnamon and blood orange essence, followed by oat milk and our house-made vegan ube syrup, made with ube extract and sweet coconut cream. The Ube Normal is topped with espresso, while Young Frank gets ceremonial matcha.

The flavor combination was inspired by Jonathan’s mom’s arroz con leche. It’s warm, fragrant and nostalgic, with just enough purple to make it appropriate for Halloween.

We bring them back every October to celebrate Halloween, Filipino American History Month and the kind of childhood flavors that stay with you. They’re available hot or iced and are best experienced exactly as we designed them.

Ube Normal and Young Frank are back for October. The pumpkin spice industrial complex will be fine.

Vendor applications for The Terminal are open!

We’re reviewing long-term spaces now. The spaces we’re looking to fill are around 160 sq ft, and we’d love to hear from independent retailers, makers, and creative businesses that would add something to our upcoming space in Maplewood.

We’re not looking for food or bakery vendors at this time. We’re also not considering vintage clothing or jewelry, since we want our vendor mix to complement the shops already here.

Interested in joining us for a day instead? You can join our daily vendor interest list now. We’ll start reaching out once we’re open and know the space a little better.

Tell us what you’re working on. Link in bio or visit theterminal.paperplanecoffee.com

EDIT: It is very important to note that our neighbors at are not closing, we have not bought them out, and they are not going anywhere. We love them very much and have been working with all of the amazing people there in order to better build our space.

To everyone observing Yom Kippur, we hope today brings some peace, reflection, and a chance to reset. Wishing you an easy fast, a meaningful day, and hopefully a slightly shorter list to atone for next year.

DMC in the place to be.

Darryl Makes Coffee brings together coffees from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Colombia. Three origins, each with its own flavor, mixed together like a great hip-hop track to create an underground party in every cup.

We’re so happy to welcome Pig & Butter Montclair , fellow NYC transplants like us, to the neighborhood. Their menu is amazing, and we’re excited to add some Paper Plane coffee to the mix.

If you don’t find yourself in the South End of Montclair very often, you’re missing out on some of the best parts of town. And now there’s one more reason to head that way.

Go show them some love.

Paper Plane is growing, and we’re looking for some great people to come fly with us.

We’re currently hiring a General Manager for Maplewood, a Driver/Production Assistant for our Orange roastery, and baristas for both Montclair and Maplewood.

We’re looking for people who care about hospitality, take pride in their work, and want to be part of what we’re building. Experience will matter for some roles, but being dependable, curious, and a genuinely good teammate matters across all of them.

Full job descriptions, pay details, and applications are available now on our Careers page. https://www.paperplanecoffee.com/pages/careers

We’ve gotten a lot of messages, emails, phone calls, and even a few carrier pigeons asking when Maplewood is opening.

The honest answer is: we’re still waiting.

The building currently only has 100 amps of electrical service, and we need PSE&G to upgrade it to 400 amps before we can power the new HVAC system, espresso machines, walk-ins, and pretty much everything else that makes a café a café.

We’ve been waiting for a few months now, and while we finally received word that the work is “scheduled,” we still don’t have an actual date. It’s frustrating. We’ve been paying rent this entire time, we’re ready to keep moving, and there’s very little we can do until the building has enough power.

The good news is that we’re pretty far along. The HVAC units should be installed this week or next, and once the electrical upgrade happens, the bar, kitchen, and restrooms can all move toward completion pretty quickly.

We’re still hoping to open Paper Plane Maplewood by the end of the year. For now, we’re doing what we’ve been doing: working on everything we can and impatiently waiting for someone to flip a very large switch.

Thank you for continuing to check in, root for us, and send the occasional carrier pigeon. We promise we want to open just as badly as you want us to.

So, if any of our followers happen to be big wigs at PSE&G, or know someone who knows someone at PSE&G, we’d be incredibly grateful for a little help getting this moving. We don’t need special treatment. We just need a little more power. Literally.
