Everything you want and expect in a cafe coupled with a very friendly team behind the counter. My oat milk latte was hot, strong and delicious and my blueberry scone was so tasty. A perfect pick me up and sweet treat. The space is clean, cozy and so spacious. There are plenty of tables, whether you are on your own or stopping by for lunch with a group. The wifi was strong and it ended up being a great place to get some work done for a bit. Like I said, everything you want in a cafe! Will need to make sure I come back from a bite to eat because their lunch menu looked so good.

I've seen this chain around, but this was my first time stopping in to try a few things. I was very…read moredisappointed with everything. Fruit pastry - definitely the best thing we got, the fruit and cream were ok, but the pastry was actually raw in the middle. The pineapple brulée pastry was awful, the torching left a butane flavor and the pineapple tasted canned as well. The curry bun tasted like frozen vegetables that were flavored with a chicken ramen powder packet, I didn't even finish it. The walnut bread was ok but tasted like artificial walnut. For the drinks, I got a matcha latte and was shocked to find one that I hated more than starbucks, it tasted like sugar milk, no matcha flavor to speak of. My partner got a cold brew which he said tasted like water. The bakery is mostly self-serve, but still managed to have a bad service experience. The cashier was weirdly hostile to us when we were standing in the wrong place to stand in line. I want to note that it wasn't busy, there was only one other group and we were standing behind them, I guess just on the wrong side? It was the mode logical place to stand after getting the baked goods so, idk. Just a weird time overall. The inside was rather clean but the outside tables were a mess. Overall, will not be returning to this chain and will continue shopping at -real- local bakeries. I'm kind of in awe that this place has any popularity whatsoever.

Nothing says welcome spring then matcha and playa bowls…read more I was invited to the Yelp elite event at the Playa bowls in Old Bridge. Thank you Katarina for this opportunity! Being a Jersey Girl means having a lot of points a Playa, so I felt right at home. I was excited to try their matcha bowl, it is different than my usual go to order but 1000% worth the try. And of course, I couldn't leave without getting a green juice. This Playa location had ample space for seating as well as the fireplace. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and even offered recommendations for what to match with the matcha bowl. You will definitely see me back here as the sun comes out and the weather becomes warmer!!

Both were very good, I usually get other bowls, but wanted to try a new bowl mix and Playa Bowl did not disappoint. Plenty of parking, staff was nice, very busy location.

Lots of other restaurants nearby.. lots of parking outside . Wasn't that crowded when I went . Service was ok and quick. I ordered through the digital kiosk and it was easy to order . Got ice cream with donut and they picked it in a plastic sandwich box pressing the whole scoop of ice cream down . When I opened the box , half ice cream was stuck in the plastic lid . Wish they had better packaging ! Ambience was ok .. Donuts were good . About 3$ for a donut , cheaper than aKrispy Kreme and tim hortons , but the quality wasn't as good as Tim Hortons ! The donuts were toooo sugary on the top. They almost had a thick layer of sugar and it gets stuck to the box if you pack it . It was a bit dry when I ate it at home .. donut ice cream was fantastic though. Ate it right then and it tasted like heaven. Was an average experience , especially the donuts being dry ! Wish it was soft .. 3 stars

Our go to bagel shop! They don't just sell the best bagels, but a variety of breakfast and lunch…read moreitems. The bagels are so good here that every time I host out of town guests I have to buy 3 dozen or more just so my guests can take some home with them. My brother in-law can eat half a dozen in one sitting. If you want breakfast before your morning commute I suggest putting in your order online, prior to pickup early mornings can be quite the mad house. If you do not have the means to make an online order they also take orders over the phone. They also offer delivery as well. Orders are completed fairly quick, I ordered my brunch via Door Dash 3 make your own breakfast sandwiches and it was ready within 5-8 minutes for pickup. I was initially hesitant about ordering a croissant breakfast sandwich because at almost every other place a croissant breakfast sandwich can be very messy. As seen in my image the sandwich is clean and neat, some might think why isn't the cheese stringy? The cheese is not stringy because I chose to eat it cold, it could use a little dash of salt and pepper but otherwise good. The other make your own sandwiches I order for my husband and daughter were identical. My daughter orders from here quite frequently and had no complaints. However, my husband who normally loves the bagels here, said that his sandwich was just fine his exact words were "it's okay it's not oh my God mind blowing or anything" but I'm not sure if he just didn't enjoy the sandwich because it was what my daughter picked. He does have a saltier palette so this could also be contributing to his critique.

I have to update my review of this Starbucks location. There…read moreare three issues I must point out for Starbucks regulars who are planing to use this location, to keep in mind before making purchase. 1. On 11/26/2022, the cheese danish was listed $3.45/pc through display window, however, it was charged $3.65/pc. And when I called out the discrepancy, cashier said the difference was the tax (she apparently was not looking at her screen, because it clearly said item $3.65, tax $0.00) Therefore I wasn't satisfied or convinced with her answer. I pointed out to her, that banana loaf or pumpkin bread is $3.65/pc, but cheese danish is $3.45/pc. Instead of servicing customers and compensate customer the difference, and fix the technical issue after (either update computer to sync with price tag, or correct the price tag in the display window to avoid further issue), the cashier said there's nothing she can do, whatever it's in the computer it's whatever charged. *It seems there's no station manager in the store, or higher management, to take care of service issue. 2. The cheese danish was ordered warmed up, but when I open the paper bag, the cheese top was dirty (seemed like the warmed up machine needed to be cleaned) because I would hate to believe it was dirty before it was delivered to the location when it's still in the plastic bag. 3. There is a sign at the wall "Redeem Rewards Here", however, when last few times of transaction didn't count on my Starbucks App, I called Starbucks customer service, to honor my purchase towards my reward. Starbucks customer service was nice enough to honer my purchase and to give stars, but informed me that this Starbucks locates in ACME was not participating Starbucks Reward program. As much as I want one Starbucks close by, I must point this out to friends who plays Starbucks challenge to be mindful when selecting your Starbucks for your purchase. There are another Starbucks about 2min drive at south, and another one 5min drive at north, and they both much better than this one. I am sorry for my previous review few months ago. I was hoping for this location to work.

Don't have to be so rude and nasty to people just because of your views on certain people. My husband is also a working man, so it's not like he doesn't have a job or wasn't in uniform. She made him pay for his food before he got it then had the nerve to almost throw his bag at him like she didn't want to touch him. Everyone else who was white in front of him was treated better and didn't have to pay until they received their items. Then she didn't allow him to sit inside the store saying it's only for those who order sandwiches and coffee. :( Never heard of anything like that at all.
