Hey Everybody! I was the manager of this place for approximately 5 weeks. In this time, the owner and I would constantly get into fights over food safety standards and cleanliness. Specifically, holding food at unsafe temperatures, serving food at unsafe temperatures and keeping food within reach of the customers uncovered and on the counter. Im sure some of you have seen this? Trays of muffins in between the registers with customers and employees handing food over it with no plastic? Next time you get a sandwhich, take the temperature of the food. Bet ya it isnt reheated to a safe legal temperature. Next time you eat one of the delicious yogurts, take the temperature. Pretty sure refridgeration is supposed to be below 41 degrees. That "fresh baked" carrot cake? Two weeks old. Want to see some pictures of the bagels? Private message me. Or, you know, you can take my word for it and stop eating them. That might work out better for you. Go ahead and ask when that "fresh brewed" coffee and tea was made. I dare you. There is a topper though. The owner refused to wash her hands. Like, at all. In my weeks there, the thing that really came to the head was the fight I had when the owner returned from the bathroom and refused to wash her hands. Not a joke. They have this on the security cameras. She enters the kitchen and begins preparing the delicious cakes and scones and stuff you eat without any gloves, tongs or the use of soap. They have this on camera. The owners of this place are putting you at potential risk by allowing unafe food practices. Take online reviews with a grain of salt, but if you notice, my name is displayed clearly and I am identifying myself as the former manager of this place. Thats because there is nothing in this post that is fictional nor under a confidentiality agreement. The law is pretty clear about food safety, and the Rockin and Roastin Cafe is willing to gamble with your safety because...I dont know exactly. It was never made clear why she refused to wash her hands nor why the other owners felt like this was worth defending. Please feel free to contact me with any information you would like to know. Remember kids, they have camera footage of all of this. Not a word of this is a lie. Be smart with your money Hugs and Kisses, David

Rockin & Roastin has been open now for a couple weeks. Just this weekend i stopped in for my second coffee. I gotta say, the coffee here is great. Being from New England, Dunkin is usually the place to go. Personally i think most of Dunkins coffee is burnt. Over the passed year or so ive come to really enjoy a nice cup of coffee and i can really taste when a coffee is good vs bad. Almost every Dunkins coffee i get has a harsh/charred taste to it. Not at Rockin Roastin. The coffee is smooth and tastes great. The environment is awesome too. Joey Kramers drum set encased in glass out front adds a really edgy touch to the place. Inside, the dark colors really give you a chilled out feeling. Big screen TVs usually display sports and news which is great too. The menu is selective, but this isnt an issue for me as i feel it allows the business to focus more on the quality of food. I had a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Portugese Roll and the Portugese roll adds just a nice amount of sweetness to the sandwich. Im anxious to get in during the weekend to try lunch. The ONLY downfall to this place is the location. Not because of the cafe itself, but because it shares a lot with Patriot Subaru. The entrance is pretty dangerous and im frustrated at the Subaru Dealership for not doing a better job at making the entrance way wider and safer for patrons. The lot for the cafe is smaller, and the drive through line, when long, cuts through the parking lot. I anticipate that this is because of all of the new traffic, but i could see where the drive through line may become a hassle for patrons both parking and driving through. Regardless, the coffee, food, and environment are great so far. I really hope Joey Kramer can make a run here, as there are multiple Dunks and Bagels and Creme which is kind of a townie favorite. IMO, the coffee at R&R trumps Bagels 10/10 times. Good luck!

Writing pertaining to my wifes early experience. She asked for a decaf latte; they could not make it. She inquired about gluten free products and they have virtually nothing other than a marshmallow bar. She did have a bagel and made reference that it certainly did not appear to be made on the premises. This appears to be a problem when people from a different business or industry try to explore the food industry. Often a "recipe" for disaster unless management is extraordinary. Recently regarding a Yelp review this occurred. Just an additional note regarding an "alleged" compliment which was really a disguise for juvenile vulgarity. Also, you cannot fix stupid or people who use "your," the possessive, for "You are" or the contraction, "Youre." So, I have deleted that and my review stands. Also, I am not the only one posting negative reviews; there are a substantial number. So, I am wondering whether "Taylor" from North Attleboro makes a habit of showing his ignorance. Also, stated that "Your wrong," but based it upon no concrete evidence or experience. Just another idiot to add to a world of fool.

This is a pretty cool coffee shop for decor and ambiance. They were successful with the rock and roll feel with lots of memorabilia, and music themed. The lights are really cool, and the music is fitting. I think this place would be an awesome place to study!! Someone new was working and he did a great job manning the register and answering our questions as we were first timers. My husband and I opted for the Forte which is a blended drink. The espresso based ones are not pre sweetened. So even though my husband got a flavor shot his wasnt very sweet. Mine on the other hand was vanilla bean based and I added espresso. Pretty tasty, but nothing special and hit under what Id expect. My husband likes sweeter things like Frappuccinos, so he was disappointed with his choice. Both drinks came just under $10. If were back in the area Id probably opt for a different choice in beverage.

I stopped in here for lunch and a latte. Everything was a bit overpriced. The medium latte I got was more expensive than a large at Dunkin Donuts and, to be honest, I prefer the taste of Dunkin Donuts over Rockin & Roastin. I ordered their equivalent of a Caprese style sandwich to go. That was pretty good but very messy. The piece of chicken in it was enormous! The second time I visited, I ended getting a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich on the portuguese roll. It was okay. The roll tasted a bit off. The interior is pretty cool looking and it seems exceptionally clean inside. Id recommend stopping in at least once to check it out for yourself. The ambiance is worth it. I think this place is okay for a sandwich every now and then but Ill probably stick to Dunkin for my lattes.

The person at the drive-thru was so nice and the food was delicious. I got my daughter a breakfast sandwich and the egg actually looked like real egg and not the pre-made heat ups that you see other places. They used the sweet bread instead of a small English muffin and it really added to the flavor. The portion size was huge, great for the price. I got a large, cold brew coffee with coconut milk and it was delicious, Ill probably add a flavor shot the next time but the strength of the coffee was perfect. I need to keep going there instead of other places because Im never disappointed.
