Eric Legrand opens LeGrand Coffee House the only way he knows how…in style
Eric LeGrand continues to inspire, with a positive message and a smile that doesn’t seem to ever stop. And now LeGrand serves his inspiration with a scone.
(Hopefully, it is a firm scone and not one like Mocha Joe’s…but we digress).
LeGrand Coffee House officially opened the doors to its brick-and-mortar location on Saturday in what was a star-studded affair. Of course, with LeGrand, could there be any other way?
The online platform for LeGrand Coffee has been online for a while where customers could purchase coffee by the pound. And of course, LeGrand Coffee is served at SHI Stadium. But the opening of the shop is a big moment for LeGrand.
The former Rutgers football defensive lineman is the only player in program history to have his number retired. He continues to be involved with the program as a radio analyst on football broadcasts.
What an honor to speak with @EricLeGrand52 about his efforts with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

But as for lattes and cappuccinos, this new business certainly is off to a promising start.
This isn’t just an entrepreneurial venture for LeGrand but a passion. LeGrand only recently started drinking coffee, instantly getting hooked. He set about to learn whatever he could about coffee, from bean to mug.
It doesn’t hurt that rapper Snoop Dogg is a fan of LeGrand Coffee either.
LeGrand Coffee House is located at 10 Green Street in Woodbridge, N.J.
