This used to be my go-to for Chinese/Japanese many years ago, then they changed owners somewhere around 2020 and I was very disappointed and stopped coming. Recently, I decided to give it another try and I have been very impressed so far. The quality of the food is excellent, although they use containers that separate the rice and seems to be a lesser portion than the norm. The order is always accurate and packed well for take out, prices are reasonable, and they have a very large menu. The dining atmosphere inside is nice, although I haven't seen anyone dining in since I started coming back. Overall, I am happy to have this place back as an option and look fwd to making it my go-to again.

Not a big fan, as the bagels are thin - not big, soft and fluffy at all. It was $8 for a BEC and it didn't look very appetizing. The cheese wasn't really melted well, the egg was thinner than the bagel, and there was not a drop of butter on the sandwich at all. The bagel was also not warm so the BEC separated from it easily. I was not impressed, especially for the price tag. :/

I grew up with my grandparents visiting every Sun from the Bronx, and they always picked up bagels from Rockland Bakery on their way up. Still one of the best bakeries around. Excellent sanitary system with electric contactless entry and exit doors and a glove station that fills these plastic gloves up with air so you can slide your hands right in without touching anything. The place is huge inside, where you get to go past the front dessert counters and the deli counter to the back factory where the bread products are actually being made and coming out on conveyor belts. You can choose and bag your own items - bagels, breads, pretzels, etc. and pay for them at the counter on the way out. The dessert selection is massive - cookies, cannolis, cakes, mini cakes, you name it. Everything is presented well, packaged well, and they do a great job moving the lines along quickly. Everyone around here knows Rockland Bakery for a reason!

I, unfortunately, let a group of women in before me (I held the door for them) and I guess they were regulars because the server addressed them enthusiastically and then stood there chatting with them. I got a bit frustrated as this went on, since I was trying to pick up lunch quickly and head back to work, so I went to the kiosk instead. The kiosk wouldn't work so I got back in line and they were still talking. The line started to back up behind me. Finally, a man came over to open a new register and took my order. He was very funny and personable and is actually the only reason I added an extra star for service. The food was ready relatively quickly but the place needs a deep cleaning. Definitely not as clean looking as other locations. Also, when I got back to work and opened the half sandwich, it looked like mostly bread - I had to open it up to see the barely-there contents inside it. I probably will not be returning to this location.

Every time I come to this Starbucks, the drinks are never right. The baristas are always nice and friendly but the drinks never taste the same as they do from other stores. Not sure if this location is always busier than others (I've never had to wait in line) but it always seems dirty and the garbage pail in front of the store (on the curb) is always overflowing onto the floor. Paying $7 for a drink that doesn't taste right is one of my biggest peeves about Starbucks, in general - it's very inconsistent between locations.
