“Easily the best gas station in Bloomfield, friendly staff, they take food stamps, open 24/7, there are enough gas pumps that you never have to wait to find an open pump, gas prices aren't bad, there's an amazing bagel/breakfast cafe attached. Worthy of regular patronage compared to the nearby gas stations, definitely check it out ? as reliable as an old friend.”

“It's a neat, clean, and well-stocked store with friendly employees. It's always a pleasure stopping by here. I just sorely miss the kiosks where one could order a much wider selection of some fresh food”

“"In the middle of the night Is that your heart you hear Have you reached your breaking point tonight?" {The Moody Blues) It's about the same size as your Cumberland Farms or Pride gas station/convenience stores but........it has ice cream! Let's start with the gas station aspect, and I have to admit it is sure nice to have another gas station option in Bloomfield. Break Point has 4 gas islands with two pumps on each island. Today, Regular gas was $3.199 for both cash and credit purchases. The gasoline area is kind of tight, especially when consumers park in front of the convenience store's side door, so be careful pulling up to, or leaving the pumps. Inside, the store is very neatly stocked, and the personnel were super friendly. We made a beeline to the ice cream counter and perused their 28 flavors of hard scooped ice cream. A small dish (4-ounce) was $5.25. If we had gone for a bigger portion, 6-ounce or 8-ounce would have cost $7.25 or $9.25. I decided on a small dish of their PB Chip Swirl, and my wife asked for some Coconut and Banana in her small dish. I'm not sure where their ice crem comes from, but it was excellent. The Peanut Butter, Coconut and Banana flavors really popped! Bloomfield Break Point has a pretty cool social media footprint and a wonderful logo consisting of a sunglasses-wearing hot dog holding an ice cream cone and a cup of coffee in its itty-bitty hot dog hands. Why does the logo feature a hot dog? Well, Bloomfield Break Point promises to have "café-style eats and signature hot dogs". They haven't been open long enough to get the hot dogs up and running, but it will be interesting to see what that future component looks like. We had a very positive visit today.”

“I’ve been getting gas here for several years. Quality top tier fuel,the only gasoline I’ll put in my car. It’s important to use top tier fuel,as a former 20 year auto tech I understand that importance. I’ve since moved out of town and still make the trip back to this particular station,purely for the fuel. I like to stick with one station because if anything ever happens I know where my fuel came from. I know most people aren’t that picky.”

“Their slushy machine often has some flavors not available and pallets/stock are left out on floor. Selection of cold drinks in fridge is good though. Staff is quick and gets through lines pretty fast.”

“I called to see if they had my RX in stock before having my doctor call it into them. They were out of stock, but the boy on the phone was kind as pie. He went above & beyond to double check their inventory, and check with the others working with him that there wasn't an extra bottle ordered that he'd be able to dispense. Then offered to order it, and gave me accurate timelines on how long it would take, and what the process was like. And this was all during a busy, 5pm wave, when there were 2 callers ahead of me on the phone, never mind how busy it was in person. Meanwhile, other Walgreens go out of there way to do LESS. Great experience with Bloomfield!”

“The customer service representative, realizing that there were two accounts under my phone number, and she took the time to go through both to determine which one had the best coupons that would reduce my purchase and I followed her instructions and I came out the happy shopper”
