NJ Pen writes that downtown Merchantville NJ is poised for some larger, long-term redevelopment plans, but in the meantime, former urban planner Ryan Middleton is working to reactivate his little corner of the district, one dormant property at a time. For a facility that’s fallen on hard times, the building at 22 North Centre Street in Merchantville still has a great deal of presence. Few clues to its former life as a borough post office remain, save an exterior loading dock with freight doors. Inside, the stepped-up lobby opens into a 4,000-plus-square-foot receiving room that comprises the bulk of the space, belying a surprisingly deep lot. Currently Middleton is promoting the space as Ryan's Retail, open for resale, crafts, pop-ups, etc.

Whether chosen for their local roasts, unique treats or super cool atmosphere — and maybe even all of the above — these java joints are worthy stops on your travels across the coffee-loving Garden State. Merchantville is a town on the rise in Camden County, and The Station is at its heart. The Station is a cozy coffee house tucked into an old train station near railroad tracks that now serve as biking and walking trails.Since its inception, a Eclipse Brewing, the Juice Bar and Park Place Cafe & Restaurant have popped up nearby. A development project is being proposed for the area, but the coffee house is staying put. The space serves as a gathering place both inside and out (Market Off Centre, the local farmers' market assembles just outside). Look for art exhibits, book signings and other creative events. https://www.courierpostonline.com/get-access/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.courierpostonline.com%2Fstory%2Flife%2F2018%2F09%2F25%2F11-unique-new-jersey-coffee-houses-worth-exploring-international-coffee-day%2F1268587002%2F
