He patronized the one in New Paltz (he has a 2nd home in the area), and when we'd meet in Princeton periodically, he always patronized the one there (and I have to say-- I always used their bathroom without buying anything, and no one ever gave me a hard way to go about it). Another old friend likes the one in Bernardsville. Why don't I like them? I don't know. I can't actually say I feel anything about them one way or the other as a chain, or that I actually dislike them. And its got nothing at all to do with their "politics." My one old friend is very progressive, and he loves them. My other old friend is conservative to the point of being a sociopath, and he likes them. I'm a near-Communist, and I couldn't care less about them. I guess I don't like the idea of paying a lot of money for a cup of coffee, and I never have the time or inclination to figure out their roadmap of a "menu" when all I want is a large cup of black coffee. No grande lattes or caffe mistos or caffe americanos for me. When I get up in the morning, I heat hot water on the stove, pour in a heapin, helpin' spoonful of Maxwell House or Chock Full o' Nuts (coffee, that is...black gold, Texas...sorry, having a Beverly Hillbillies flashback!), pour in the water. Two cups of that...black, no sugar, no cream...and I'm as ready for the horrors of the oncoming day as I'm ever going to be. No need to get fancy or pretentious about it. Recently...today in fact...my old friend called and stopped by. We hadn't seen each other in a while. We're both working full time, and he's taking acting classes in his spare time on the assumption that there's still time to "make it." (He's talented enough, I guess, and as way of encouragement, I said enthusiastically, "Don't worry; Sydney Greenstreet didn't start making movies until he was 61! There's hope!" "Who?" "Sydney Gree...Ah, never mind...") He suggested stopping at Starbucks, so we could "catch up" for a few minutes. He was driving, so I didn't raise any objections. Realistically, my tendency (as probably should be obvious by now) would be to rate this less than 5 stars, if only for the fact that I detest the Riverwalk shopping center with its tight, dangerous parking lot. This Starbucks seems smaller than others I've been to, but that's not any kind of an issue for me. It wasn't crowded; service was prompt. Had it been crowded, and if I had had to stand in a line, maybe I'd feel differently. My friend ordered some kind of coffee and a pre-packaged container of cheese and fruit. I wasn't about to consume a lot of anything. I asked the pleasant, helpful young woman behind the cash register if they had hot chocolate. They did. I was expecting to be presented with a choice between Cioccolato Magnifico or Supreme Sucre Decadence, or something similarly and ridiculously florid. Nope. Just a large cup of tasty, creamy hot chocolate. My sweet tooth was acting up and I ordered a Brownie. The young woman helping me asked if I wanted it heated up. I hadn't even considered that, but of course I answered, "Yes!" You order, pay, and then wait at the end of the counter for your order. I didn't think the price, given what prices are these days, was especially prohibitive. Service was friendly and accommodating, and the orders came out quick. The hot chocolate hit the spot, and I found the Brownie warm, savory, and my perennial sweet tooth was amply satisfied. So, why not 5 stars? I ordered something, service was very good, and I enjoyed what I ordered. Do I intend on becoming a regular? Probably not, but if you're inclined to like Starbucks anyway, and are willing to pit yourself against the challenges of the Riverwalk parking lot, this is as good as any Starbucks I've been to, if maybe a little bit smaller. Recommended.

My last visit I walk in with a smile and a hello and the woman just looks up from her phone while leaning against the counter and doesn't say anything back, no smile, and then goes back to looking at her phone. I wait a few seconds and the man comes to the counter and is giving similar unfriendly vibes as the woman. No smile, nothing friendly about him or our interaction at all. It's been like this my last few visits and it's so off putting. At this point I rather drive a little further to the other two Dunkin locations. Usually when I walk in with my kids for munchkins at any other location they'll throw in a few extra for them and it's never once happened at this location, which of course is never expected but they're just so unfriendly here that I had to finally write a review after my last encounter. I'm pretty sure the two people that work behind the counters are co-owners, perhaps husband and wife, and I've heard them bickering during other visits too or at least the man raising his voice at the woman. Avoid this location if possible unless you're looking for an unpleasant experience.

Frozen Falls is my go-to froyo spot in the Basking Ridge area. As huge lover of froyo, I've scoped…read moreout my fair share of self-serve shops over the years. I gotta say, Frozen Falls ranks pretty highly among all of them and here's the reasons why... 1) So so sooo many toppings to choose from. Their selection is like nothing I've ever seen before. They literally have every last topping you could ever hope for. From fruits, to candy, to cereal, to chocolate covered almonds (say whaaaaat?!), they really do have it all. Try not to get overwhelmed because at Frozen Falls your wish really is their command. 2) Testers. In my opinion, every self serve froyo shop NEEDS to allow for people to test flavors. Frozen Falls does just that. You will have to ask an associate for tester cups (they'll do it for you), but my experience has always been that staff is super patient and willing to let you try as many flavors as you'd like. 3) Open late for when you have those 10pm froyo cravings. I absolutely love that they're open til 11pm on Fridays! 4) Clean, bright, and open floor plan. Staff kept the tables in tip top shape and the froyo dispensers were clean too. 5) Free and accessible water. These are the small details that Frozen Falls certainly hasn't overlooked. I can usually chug back a water after eating all the sweets so its nice that they keep a water dispenser right at your finger tips. 6) Pay by the weight so feel free to get as little (or as much) as you want!
