If you find yourself shopping at the Bridgewater Commons Mall this weekend and you want a cup of Joe or a sandwich to maintain your energy, brace yourself for a surprise: The food court is being renovated, and there remain only a handful of eateries where you can refresh yourself.
A floor to ceiling partition now walls off about 85% of the former food court floor space. Only a few food emporiums are left on the upper level. Sbarro’s Pizza and Buffet Italiano is still in its original spot. Next is Sarku Japan in the corner position, followed by the cookie queen, Mrs. Field’s.
Facing the upper level escalators, leading up to what used to be the food court is the pretzel concession of Auntie Anne’s, which also maintains a second location on the middle level.
If all you want is coffee, bagels, or pastries. Gloria Jean’s is for you. It’s located next to Macy’s inner mall entrance on the upper level, just across from the escalators. You can find similar offerings at Starbuck’s, on the middle level near center court.
Should you have the time and are up to a real meal, McCormick & Schmick’s seafood restaurant on the middle level is your destination.
My wife and I will miss Michael’s Deli. It was a very active and varied eatery which drew plenty of early morning and lunch patrons with its wide assortment. That’s progress, but count ’em: There are now only eight food concessions available for your gustatory delight.
