They make their bagels fresh daily and they have so many flavors to choose from. I decided to get a sausage egg bagel sandwich, but you can also get just bagels with cream cheese (there are several spread options as well). I added some maple walnut spread to my savory bagel sandwich because I'm strange like that, and everything was delicious. The people working are very friendly and helpful. One member of the group asked for tea and was given a plethora of unique options for that too. The coffee is good as well. My only negative is that the dining space is a bit tight. They have a handful of tables all very close to each other, so I had to get up quite a few times to let other people in/out of their separate table. Give this place a try!

I've been here several times mainly because of how convenient the location is, being right off the highway is the biggest draw. The store itself feels a bit small for how busy it gets, especially during peak travel times, and that shows in the parking lot, which fills up quickly and can feel tight. Service was fine but didn't really stand out. We ordered a warm croissant, and at some point it appeared on the counter, but it wasn't clear if our names were called. It could've been on us for not catching it, but the handoff felt a little disorganized and awkward. Overall, it's a reliable stop for convenience, but with the amount of traffic this location sees, the execution could definitely be smoother.

However, I truly think Starbucks has lost its character. What else could explain my visiting two different Starbucks locations more than 100 miles apart in the same day and getting SHITTY attitudes from two different baristas at said Starbucks? At this particular location, I was a little surprised to see the coffee of the day being served out of thermos pumps. I don't recall having seen that before, and it may be standard operating procedure, but as a consumer, it turned me off. It made me wonder why I was paying Starbucks premium for coffee that was being kept warm and pumped out of a thermos carafe. One thing I was going to compliment this location on was how nice their baked goods display looked. However, I was taking a picture on my phone and was halted by the barista saying I couldn't take pictures of their things. Again, I don't know if this is standard operating procedure, and this is the only barista out of a hundred Starbucks I've visited to enforce it, or if this was just another way for this particular barista to share her "sunny" disposition (that's sarcasm) with me. I think anyone can go on Starbucks website and see the food items they offer. It's advertised and public knowledge, so I'm unsure how preventing photos applies here. Anyway, was glad to see that Rochester finally got a Starbucks; but after this visit, I'm not so sure that's a good thing.

Since it's connected to the travel center, it's easy to grab a coffee or snack without going out of your way. The counter area is small, but the line moved faster than I expected for a busy travel stop. My order came out accurate, though the service felt a bit rushed. But that's pretty normal for a Dunkin' inside a gas station. Coffee was fresh and tasted exactly like you'd expect, and the donuts were fine, just not the freshest compared to standalone locations. There's not much seating, so most people grab their items and head right back on the road. Cleanliness could've been better. The counter and surrounding area looked like it needed a quick wipe-down.

They were usable, just not great. The checkout line moved quickly, and the staff handled things efficiently without slowing anyone down. The fuel pumps were clean, well-lit, and spaced out enough to avoid that cramped, chaotic feel you sometimes get at travel centers. Prices were standard for a Pilot, nothing surprising.

My niece and I and her family decided to run up to Subway for dinner last night. This was my first…read morevisit to this location. It is located on the left side of a building shared with small gas station. I liked the cozy atmosphere. When you enter the Subway door, the sandwich counter is to the left, and several booths are directly to the right. The booths were small and a bit tight, but they did the job. All the tables were clean. We were greeted right away, and a lady behind the counter got to work on our sandwich orders. A male employee was visible for a moment but must have been working in the back. We let a lone male customer go ahead of us, and another group of three came in behind our group. Another female employee joined in making the subs. It seemed to take a good ten minutes or more for our four sandwiches to be ready, but the meal was worth the wait. A small selection of bagged chips hung on a rack the length of the counter and also sat on a display rack near the tables. They had Doritos, Baked Lays, Cheddar Sun Chips, and another brand of jalapeno potato chips. It occurred to me that salt and vinegar potato chips would have been nice, but my niece and I chose the Sun Chips and jalapeno. I got a foot long Veggie Delight on wheat with all the veggies sans jalapenos and added avocado. Generous scoops of avocado were the base of my sandwich. I hadn't ordered that topping before. I was glad they had it as an option, and it was good. I opted for provolone and asked for oil and vinegar and yellow mustard. I was asked if I'd have liked my bread toasted, which was nice, but I chose not to. Half my sandwich and my Sun Chips were pretty filling, and I took the other half home, along with our cookies. My niece had a 6" cheese steak with Ranch dressing, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, and jalapenos. She bravely tried the jalapenos, but ended up picking some off. I had a small one, and while good, I'm just not used to them anymore. It was easy to see how they could overpower a sandwich, and a few more were hiding on her. My niece's mom had a chicken teriyaki sub that looked great, and I'm not sure what her dad had. The staff gave us drink cups, including a small clear plastic cup for water for myself I got from the soda fountain directly to the right of the register. They didn't have bottled water, but the fountain water was cold and tasted filtered. My niece had Dr. Pepper, and her parents also had pop. There was also a Coke self-serve fountain next to Subway's fountain of Pepsi products, but I think the Coke belonged to the gas station. A small lucite case full of chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut, S'mores, and oatmeal raisin cookies next to the register was hard to resist. One of the ladies kindly came around the other side to assist my niece who wanted to be in charge of paying with the gift cards we had. It was just over $31 for the four of us. Not bad considering we'd just spent about the same for three for breakfast earlier in the week, and this was much more food. The ladies behind the counter were friendly and promptly got eight orders in total done in about fifteen minutes. We enjoyed our meal. It was a nice late Summer evening as it turns to Fall. I would definitely return to this Subway.

When my local Warsaw friend and I…read morepast the area where Panda Express and Starbucks were next to each other, I knew I had to go there for lunch. Not only because I have the app, because it was budget friendly. After my friend dropped me off here, I decided to mobile order @ Panda Express while getting a drink at Starbucks. I know from previous experiences that it takes a while to get the order prepared. For a weird reason, I decided to order the Panda Bundle, but didn't noticed they assigned the drink as Coke. And so, when I entered and picked up my order, I noticed this black liquid in the cup. I thought I could just fill it at their self serve drink station. I asked what that was and explained to them I thought that it was supposed to be an empty cup versus one that was prefilled with Coke. The lady didn't want to argue, so she gave me a medium empty cup, so I could fill it with my drink of choice, which I try not to drink soda. It's been almost a year since my no soda pledge. So far so good. I ended up with 2 drinks to accompany my Panda Express meal. I usually do the basics of chao mien, unless they have chao fun at a particular location. Then orange chicken and beef broccoli are the staples I usually do. For this experience in Warsaw, Indiana, it was the beef broccoli, mushroom chicken, sauteed eggplant, with a bed of chao mein. The perfect combination of sweet and savory. It was definitely a slice from home since we have Panda Express in Honolulu. It was pretty cool to see Panda Express in NE Indiana of all places. The overall experience here at this Panda Express location here in Warsaw, Indiana was interesting and good. I came here around 11:30am and it was fairly empty with the lunch rush to slowly trickle in. I must have sat in the corner and dined in, since I saw a bunch of people walk in and ordered. I guess I was thankful that I did beat the rush. I was also thankful that this restaurant had restroom facilities and a self service drink station. I must have filled up my cup at least 3 times before fill up one for the road. The restaurant itself was clean and can probably sit up to 20 people at a time. Thankfully, it was fairly empty and I could get my own seat and eat privately while working on my phone. While this isn't the pinnacle of fine dining, its basically economical and good to have while traveling. I particularly enjoy the noodles for sure, but the other stuff is still good, but yet tolerable. It was nice that they didn't really safe guard the self service drink station as to limiting how much refills you can do in one dining experience. Thankful for that. As long as you behave yourself and act civil, I guess most people let you do what you want within reason. With that said, if you are in the area and love Chinese food, consider coming here to Panda Express for your daily fix. It was nice that Panda Express chose this location in Warsaw, Indiana. This Panda Express location is in Warsaw, Indiana. It's interesting how this Panda Express chose this particular location. It's physically located at 1170 Lake City Highway in Warsaw. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. For me though, I mobile ordered it, so it was quick and easy. As far as parking goes, there's a good amount of parking here, but best bet is to get here before the lunch or dinner rush comes through the area. Better yet, mobile order and quickly grab and go. If you feel like dining in, that's good too, especially with the unlimited refills on drinks. Not sure if Warsaw has its own public transportation system, but your best bet would be to have your own car or rent one. There's always Uber or Lyft to get you here, as well as those food delivery services too, if you can't make it out but want to enjoy what Panda Express has to offer. For myself though, I enjoyed the ambiance and the unlimited refills on drinks during my time here. It was a quick bite on a Sunday in April 2024 before heading off to South Bend for the rest of the day. If you love Chinese food and in the area, come on by. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the unlimited drink station and the service. Thanks to the staff to understood my dilemma of the day. 3.5 stars for the prices. Support local! B
