Ugh I hate to write this but every time I've come here since my last review it gets worse and…read moreworse. Food is great but service really needs an upgrade. Maybe it's because they have 8 people doing 7 different things or maybe there's just too many people working the counter but every single time I come and order, it's never correct. It's always chaos. Between the person who takes the order to the people preparing your food to the people ringing up your food, anyone would understand why it's not working. 2nd time I came in, the young girl at the front with the attitude eyes decided to take the person standing behind me who just walked in the door first. Then had the audacity to roll her telling eyes when I questioned it, and then didn't even apologize! Their bagels are very tasty but sooo inconsistent in sizes. I got a full size bagel that was smaller than a mini bagel one time. The last time I was there, I ordered an onion bagel and pointed to the one I wanted because it was so huge and they pick a different one instead, it felt almost deliberate. Because again, the person taking the order is not preparing your food for you. So requests get ignored. I also asked for them to toast and butter the bagel and neither were done. 1 time I got a whole pack of bacon on my BLT, chopped up tomato's with extra mayo like I enjoy, the next time I get 2 slivers of bacon and a whole entire tomato. It's never consistent and nobody cares. I watched the same girl who has a bad attitude get berated by one of the owners because she doesn't know that there is a difference between half and half and milk and she's charging for the more expensive. Do better everyone! Also, you can't charge debit cards credit card surcharges. It's literally illegal in the state of NY. Hope it works out.

At this stage, it's evident that Blend & Brew delivers the satisfying cup I've come to expect, but…read moredon't get me wrong, it goes deeper than a satisfying cup of Joe. Let me explain! *This casual environment brings an abundance of customer service, customer appreciation, customer engagement and a lot of enthusiasm which is very attractive,warm and inviting to ne. I love that energy every staff member offers. *The green drinks that I order, are made to order and concocted out of the fresh vegetables, no premade drinks that's ready to drink (RTD), stocked in a cooler for hours or days; even, losing its vitality! *The coffee is always fresh and delicious. Hey, I'm not much of a coffee drinker but since I've been drinking coffee from Blend & Brew, I may have to dismiss the aforementioned statement. *The waffles are freshly made and are also topped with fresh fruit and other toppings. The golden Honey Waffle is my go to for breakfast! * The fruit smoothies.. I arrived later in the morning, between the hours of 9 am- 12pm to make good use of the special; BOGO half off to save money. I chose a banana smoothie and I was allowed to order off the menu to purchase a strawberry/banana smoothie. It's not a normal occurrence. The banana smoothie was very delicious and offered great pleasure in every sip with a bonus of a lumpy texture. In conclusion, I don't often drink coffee or smoothies but this treasure trove called Blend and Brew, I highly recommend them to you. Inspire more, Yelp more!

The quality of the fruit and veggies is definitely fresh - you can taste that they aren't just using cheap syrups. It's a bit pricey at around $9-$10 for a large smoothie, but it's worth it for the health boost.

It's been honestly burning inside me to not leave a review yet and giving this location chance…read moreafter chance I just about had it , terrible customer service and the new employees need to absolutely be retrained for how to speak to customers as well as how to read off a order, I understand Starbucks is a chaotic place to work especially at busy locations , I used to be a barista for Starbucks 13 years ago so I understand completely however there is no excuse for poor reading skill at a non peak hours and to not only get a drink wrong once but two times in the same order and then when I'm like I made the drink on the app it's not that difficult it's a trenta tea in my own personal cup extra pumps of classic , first they give me my cup with the wrong drink entirely and then look at me like would you like me to remake it ? Yes I would since this isn't even the drink I ordered , it was a chai latte not even a lemonade ..... then they bring me my cup w no ice my entire drink like warm and when they look at me like you wanted ice ? I never not asked for ice the drink standard my comes with ice cream... then brings me my cup without my straw .... And this ain't even the worst this is just the final excuse of poor incompetent service from this location , I rather drive to gateway and get my drink from target, the bathroom is always disgusting with urine all over the floor, I'm surprised the board of Health has not made any issues w the sewer rats that run all across by the water side when it's low tide and the parking is trash it piles up and creates traffic as well but that's more of a location issue I suppose

Traveling with my friend, he wanted bagels. And we got bagels - hard to go wrong with a name like…read moreHot Bagels! Pros: Actually a good amount of space inside, unexpectedly. Good bagel selection (though by 11 they were out of the Garlic my friend wanted), well-stocked drink fridge, and a steady flow of customers in and out to show you it's a winner here. Interesting: We only saw the two staff. One of them was manning the grill, putting on eggs, meats, and whatever else needed to be cooked, and then stacking the sandwich. The other handled the orders, payment, then packaging and handing over the order (or setting aside for pickup). So after we ordered, we stood and watched the orders before us get filled, one at a time - you'll never see multiple orders at the same time, even though the grill can fit them. They stay super focused. Only OK: My friend and I got ourselves a couple of bacon and cheese breakfast sandwiches. They did all the egg together and then split it down the middle. I was expecting, since the grill was just slide off the previous order and slap on the next one, that we'd have the rich flavors of earlier orders in the day, but that was not the case. Maybe they were doing a quick clean each time and I missed it? But it tasted fairly plain overall unfortunately. The pumpernickel bagel I got because it looked like sesame - turns out it was an everything pumpernickel!? So that was strange. Net review: Not quite 4 stars, but a solid neighborhood joint the people here like, so I don't want to be unkind. It's fairly solid.

A friend recommended this place because she really likes the carrot cake. So I thought, let me give…read moreit a try. This is an in and out unless I overlooked gseating arrangements, so dressed or casual will fit. I noticed one side is a Jamaican restaurant serving traditional dishes and the other side is a bakery. I also noticed that there where 4 workers in the bakery, one worker was helping a customer, a second taking pictures of the product, a third singing and walking around, and a fourth was putting pastries out. NO ONE acknowledged me or any other person that came in after me. I guess the assumptions are that the customer doesn't have a choice, so they have a definite sale. The gentleman finally finished and waited on me. The cake I chose was vanilla with white icing and red.(Pictured) The cake was very delicious and semi sweet weighing more on the less sweet side. The improvements needed are, greeting your customers or potential customers when they come in. Even if the worker has no intention of servicing the customer. Just another day!

Hot and cold beverages too. Friendly service and the line moved quickly. Iced coffee was nice for the subway ride home.

Food selections are like other coffee shops with small sandwiches, simple to more elaborate mixed coffee/tea/refresher type beverages. Regardless of what you pick i can say it definitely tastes as described, hot or cold. On the food front I'm a fan of their soft fresh donuts and cookies, rarely disappointed. This location has wide concession section of pickup/togo snacks and beverages. Would highly recommend this quick and easy location to be in/out catching your trains timely with something in hand.
