The avocado toast here doesn't just come with a side of pretension, it comes with a full dissertation on the spiritual journey of the avocado from tree to plate, and here's where this bougie fever dream takes a turn into the Twilight Zone: I ordered a latte and it came with a complimentary spritz bottle of hair spray. Not as a mistake. Not as a prank. As if the barista thought, "You know what this oat milk cortado needs? A little Aqua Net for volume." I'm talking actual aerosol hair product, like they confused the espresso machine with a salon chair.The truly maddening part? The hair spray latte was genuinely delicious. It was like discovering your car runs better on maple syrup. So naturally, I returned, desperate to recreate this bizarre caffeinated styling experience, only to receive lattes so aggressively sweet they could put a hummingbird in a diabetic coma and tragically, hair spray-free. Apparently, achieving the perfect balance of espresso and Aussie Scrunch Spray is an art form that cannot be replicated. I'm now stuck in this kafkaesque loop, forever chasing the dragon of that one perfect chemically-enhanced coffee, while surrounded by women named Brynleigh discussing their juice cleanses.

While the past few years have seen a bunch of locations pop up for Gregory's Coffee, this was my first experience trying them out. While the latte I had was ok, it wasn't filled to the top of the cup and was otherwise average tasting. Prices were a tad bit higher than Starbucks, and a bit lower in quality. The major thing I noticed was the staff seemed robotically disengaged as if they didn't want to be there. It doesn't hurt to crack a smile. Based on the multitude of options for coffee within the mall, nothing about this Gregory's Coffee experience would sway me away from the competition.

I visited this location while traveling in New Jersey. We do not have this restaurant in Western…read morePennsylvania. But I have eaten at this chain while traveling in New Jersey several other times. I receive coupons in the email, and just happened to have a five dollar off coupon that expired in a few days, that arrived in my email shortly before my travel occurred, which is why I chose to visit this location. I came on a busy Saturday at about 11:45 and because I was by myself I was able to get the last seat at the counter, otherwise the wait was 35 minutes or more for groups of two or more people. I ordered the kale juice which was kale, apple, lemon & was yummy. I ordered the summer special lobster avocado toast with 2 eggs over easy. The servers & all staff were very busy but pleasant. My meal was good, no complaints & they did have 2 nice chunks of real lobster meat on the thick whole grain toast. The only problem came when I went to use my coupon, they asked for my phone number which I gave them. And then they told me I was not in the system. Then they asked me if I could login on the app in which I told them I didn't know if I had the app because I don't have this restaurant locally and I only eat here maybe once a year but clearly the coupon had come to me in my email, and was due to expire on July 31 and this was July 25. Even though it was only five dollars it was the principle of I would've eaten somewhere else if I could not use this coupon. So although they were busy, I could tell that they were kind of annoyed that they had to go in the back and asked the manager and then there was some big production of having to enter my email and phone number into the app. This all seemed rather ridiculous considering most places if you have a coupon and it doesn't work and it's legitimate they can just take five dollars off your bill at the register not sure why that was not possible? Anyway, in the meantime of them going to the back, I managed to find the app get into it. Enter my phone number and email reset a password and then it showed that my coupon was in the app. Long story short I did get the five dollars off of the meal and then handed a five dollar bill to my server as her tip. This restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch and I believe it closes at 3 PM. It does get very busy weekend mornings. It's similar to a First Watch cafe if you are familiar with those.

One of the eggs oozed uncooked egg whites, which you can kinda of see in the picture, but translucent whites were very apparent upon first cut. Potatoes were very salty, likely from heavily salted water. My partner had the cinnamon swirl pancakes and only ate one of three because it was dry and dense. On the flip side, my in laws enjoyed their french toast and waffle. Overall food was very hit or miss, okay for some, but wouldn't go out of my way to brunch here.

Sounds like peak suburban chic to me. Inside, it's practically a study den with caffeine privileges: plenty of seats for duos, loners, and laptop warriors. The noise level? Minimal.. just the occasional milk steamer sigh or blender flex, like background ASMR for your to-do list. Since the remodel, this spot hasn't once botched my order. Not once. Meanwhile, my "main" Starbucks sometimes plays me like a Spotify shuffle and runs out of my drink. That's when this one levels up from "second string" to MVP. So, to the haters: maybe you just need better taste buds or better Wi-Fi.

I ordered from my app on Sunday morning and walked in and my order was ready. No complaints as far as Starbucks goes.

I was tired, slightly grumpy, and in need of caffeine the way a Midwestern city is in need of zoning laws. I ordered a flat white. It arrived eventually. The place was nearly empty, yet time still passed in a leisurely and philosophical way behind the counter. The staff, to their credit, were friendly and kind, as if they too understood that none of us had chosen this system so much as wandered into it. The drink tasted exactly like a flat white from any other Starbucks on Earth. Consistency is their miracle and their curse. One does not come here for revelation. One comes here to be caffeinated, and that mission was accomplished. I paid more than I wanted to for the experience, which is also a core part of the brand promise. I left warmer, more awake, and faintly disappointed.

I was shopping at Trader Joe's in the same plaza as Lowe's when I started to feel a bit peckish, so…read moreI decided to stop into the nearby Starbucks for a quick break. I'm glad I did. It is located in the corner between Lowe's and Trader Joe's, the two anchoring stores in the strip mall. They share a spacious and free parking lot within the strip mall. Normally, I find most Starbucks to be aggressively average, but this location was better than what I've come to expect. I walked in and found a comfortable place to sit. Using their free Wi-Fi, I placed my order through the app and simply waited for my name to be called. While waiting, I took in the ambiance. This location felt warmer and more thoughtfully designed than many others I've visited. Some Starbucks feel like tables and chairs were simply dropped into a sterile space, almost like a hospital cafeteria. Here, there were comfortable chairs with cushions, warm lighting, and clean, inviting aesthetics that made it easy to relax. Here's what I ordered: A) Iced Banana Bread Matcha - 5/5 stars I requested no caramel syrup and substituted soy milk for regular milk. The result was smooth, balanced, and very enjoyable. B) Chocolate Pistachio Loaf - 5/5 stars I asked for it to be warmed. Often when pastries are heated, they can turn rubbery, but this one was beautifully toasted. The warming actually elevated the chocolate and pistachio flavors. The employees were generally pleasant. However, when I asked about a particular mug they had for sale, one employee seemed more absorbed in his electronic device than the customer in front of him. Without really looking up, he simply said, "I don't know." His dismissive manner put me off, so I placed the mug back, said "thank you," and left. Perhaps it was a one-off moment, but that interaction is why this visit earns 4 stars instead of 5.
