We ordered boxed lunches for a work event and everything was "okay". The bread on the sandwich was the clear standout. But everything was just... fine. Years ago, I had heard really good things about Apple Spice Junction. More recently, I haven't heard anything at all and I can see why. There wasn't anything super memorable to make me want to go back time and time again. The service was okay and the delivery was on time. I have nothing bad to say, but nothing that I want to scream from the rooftops either. read more

I used the Orem location for 4 consecutive meals within 24 hours for a large crowd of hard workers. I have to say they went above and beyond helpful and the food was top notch. Lilly and her team took on the difficult job and pulled it off and we couldn't be happier. Never hesitate to ask for what you want - this team really pulled off a great service in good food and service all around. read more

Apple spice junction makes it so easy to grab lunch and go either for me, or for a group of colleagues (which is what we normally do). I love their options and how easy it is to feed a group at work. read more

The food quality was fine. However, I was a little disappointed with the service. We ordered for our office and had it delivered, and they didn't deliver what was ordered. I ordered the combo with a Cobb salad (received chef salad) and a spicy turkey sandwich on sourdough (received white). read more

Apple Spice Junction - Combo salad/sandwich - Caterers Near Me - Orem, Utah

Yes, its a simple concept. Simple sandwiches, soups, and salads. Well worth the money. I've had a variety of their menu options. You can't go wrong. read more

I'm not sure why others have commented that they do not allow substitutions - they are always very accommodating to me when I ask for a different bread on a sandwich, or to remove or add items from a sandwich or a salad. (It never hurts to ask is my motto!) I LOVE their bread, and the sandwiches are great because they don't get soggy from mayo, etc. piled on them (comes on the side). Their salads are always great - the Cobb with added avocado is my FAV. Anytime my boss suggests having lunch delivered for a meeting I call ASJ - they are fast, yummy & everyone is happy (and full) after lunch! read more

Hadn't been here in a while but was in the area and decided to stop in. Husband had a turkey and Swiss on white with frog eye salad. I had the cashew chicken on 13 grain and potato soup. Both included a pickle wedge and chocolate chip cookie. Prompt service. Food was fresh and tasty. The 13 grain bread was especially good and a great complement to the cashew nut chicken. read more

Apple Spice Junction - Menu board featuring great lunch options - Caterers Near Me - Orem, Utah

Apple Spice is my company's GO TO for quick catering and box lunch orders. We have a fully catered meal at least once a month and the food is always high-quality, fresh, and delicious. Craig and his team exceed our expectations and not only cater the meals, but cater to all of our special requests (i.e., bread substitutions, extra this, none of that, etc.) They've even gone as far as creating a fabulous catered meal that was not on their menu! And when we asked for an out-of-the-ordinary 6:00am box lunch delivery time... they didn't even bat an eye! I got to sleep in while they did all the work!! : ) Ordering box lunches & salads on-line is a breeze... if you need catering - give Craig a call - - - tell him Jen sent'cha! read more

I love their sandwiches and their service. I use them to cater small events and the ease of ordering and their delivery service makes this my go to place. Recently I placed a delivery order for 20+ sandwiches but I mistakenly had the wrong date. I called them the morning of my event and they were able to make the change and get me my order when I needed it. Oh ya, their chocolate chip cookies are amazing! Possibly life changing. read more

Despite a pretty nice place to eat lunch, the menu is really built around the idea of creating packaged meals for business lunches. I've had their lunches delivered to business meetings before and they were pretty good. They are packaged and designed around not going bad in an hour. Sandwiches like Subway go gooey and mushy in an hour. However, when eating it at the cafe, that's not a good thing. The sandwich is inoffensive. The other food too. The atmosphere the same. Unfortunately, I can only dump it on the pile of acceptable, but not particularly good sandwich shops around town. read more

Apple Spice Junction - the front of the store - Caterers Near Me - Orem, Utah

Catered our company party so not a review of the actual restaurant but had to stop in and say their Chicken Parmesan is really good!

I've only had boxed lunches catered by Apple Spice Junction, but that's their main source of business so I might as well write a review. The main takeaway is that ASJ is a big, fat "meh." Pretty pricey for okay sandwiches. Nothing out of this world special, but I've definitely had worse sandwiches from catering companies. I've had the Roast Beef on 13 Grain and Turkey on White. The first thing to note is that they are not flexible with substitutions at all. Want roast beef on white bread? Too bad! Also, their ratio of bread to meat is way off. Those slices of bread are so ridiculously thick!! The meat, though, is not bad. The roast beef is sliced thick and isn't tough. The cheese and vegetables are decent, and they keep the mayo and mustard separate so the sandwiches don't get slimy. As far as sides go, I've only had the veggies (standard) and pasta salad (flavorful but WAY too much mayo). They all include a pickle slice and Lays potato chips, plus a dessert. Dessert-wise, oh baby. Their cheesecake is LUSCIOUS. Smooth, creamy slice of New York heaven. The fruit topping is pretty subpar, but that's something you can scrape off. Apple Spice Junction isn't my favorite local caterer, but it does the job and provides well-balanced nutrition. read more

This is my favorite deli in Utah County. I find that other delis either have bland sandwiches, or try too hard to be unique, and end up drowning their food in sauces that make the bread soggy. I'm a big fan of their sandwiches here--a great balance of meat and cheese for the bread, which is always fresh and delicious. I've dined both in-store and ordered their box lunch at work. The box lunches are beautifully packed and made fresh that day. My only recommendation on the box lunch is to avoid getting a sandwich with bacon in it. By the time it reaches you, the edges are hard and chewy (on the order of plastic), but my husband got a sandwich with bacon on it when we dined in, and that was just fine. My favorite sandwiches: Roast Beef Deluxe and the Club. As far as dining in, the atmosphere was slightly industrial, and less well-lit than I would have preferred, but since their expertise is delivery and box lunches, I won't fault them for that. All in all, I find it to be a simple, consistent, and reliably good deli for lunch (and only for lunch, since their hours are something like 10 am - 4 pm). read more

I was spending a lot of time at Timpanogos Regional Hospital and this was close by the hospital. It became my favorite lunch place near the hospital. The bread was so good - I try not to eat bread but with the hamburger vegetable soup they gave me a piece with butter - oh my to dip it in the soup was so amazing. The salads are so good. I ordered the Cobb salad and a slice of bread came with it too with a cinnamon butter. YUM! The tortilla soup was my husband's favorite. Later in the week I ordered the Curry Chicken Salad sandwich and a cup of tortilla soup. It was good but the sandwich appears to be small when you are used to Subway. You get more value with the salads. Everything here is healthy and good. Love the soups. They are closed on Sundays. read more

I had been wanting to try this place out for a while now, and decided that it should replace my Progresso soup as my lunch today. Good night, I'm glad I made the switch today. When I got to the place, it was far more desolate than I expected it to be, but I guess I went after the lunch rush. My food came out to me super fast and I was back on my way to work. When I opened up the carton, I thought that I was jipped for spending my hard-earned $7.52 on a small sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap. You know the smell that some types of plastic wraps have that seeps into your food so that your food now tastes like the nasty smell of the plastic wrap? That always happened in high school. My school served these cinnamon rolls in plastic wrap, but all you could taste on the first layer was that nasty wrap...thank goodness those things only cost $.75. Enough with the trip down memory lane - I was afraid that the sandwich was going to taste like crap, but was SO wrong. That thing was so friggin' good. The bread that they served my roast beef with provolone and cheddar on was a fresh-baked, 12 grain bread. So good. Then they put five thick slices of roast beef on there...which made the sandwich FAR more filling than I originally expected. I was glad that they put the condiments, including a tomato, on the side. I'm boring and I hate sauces on my sandwiches, as well as tomato, so this was perfect. In addition, they gave me a bag of chips, a pickle (ooh, I love pickles), a chocolate chip cookie, and a peppermint patty. Not too bad. I thought that I would be completely unsatisfied with the amount of food I got and the quality. Instead, I fell in like with the place...good, good food. But it looks like I'll be eating that Progresso for dinner now...sad. Holy crap! My 100th Review! I spend too much money. read more

They've catered my company's party for the past several years. After today's lunch it was time I wrote a review. Had dried chicken breast, pasta with no sauce that was dry and flavorless. Salad and steamed veggies were ok. Would not recommend them at all. read more

Pricey but always delicious. Love that you can buy full lives of bread and quarts of soup as well!

I had the BLT deluxe. It was very good. The bread was soft with a good flavor. My son had a grilled cheese, it was cold. The cookie that comes with the meal was scrumptious! Will definitely go back. I will try the soup next time. read more

I've used them for lunch catering for years. I always get complements on the food, and they have the best GF options, without it always brings salad. I highly recommend read more

I had a coupon for Apple Spice Junction and decided to try it today. This was my first time eating there. I was greated by a friendly employee that helped explain their menu. I decided to try their Office Favorite Sandwich. The Office favorite had turkey, roast beef and ham on it. It normally came on their 13 grain bread. I did not want the 13grain bread and ask if I could have it on something different. They offered me a choice of sourdough bread, honeywheat bread or a croissant. I choose the honeywheat bread. The lunch came with a side of pasta salad, potato salad, or frogeye salad. I did not want any of those choices. The employee offered me a couple of additional choice, one being a side of fresh veggies with ranch dip or fruit. I choose the veggies. The service was very fast. We had only been sitting for a couple of minuets and the lunch was brought out. I am glad I choose the honeywheat bread. It was delicious. The veggies for the side were fresh and crisp and the ranch dip was delicious. My overall experience with Apple Spice Junction was very good. The employee was friendly and offered me soultions to the items I wanted that were different than what was normal for them. All and all a good value for $7.29. read more

Having worked in high-end catering for the past 8 years, I am not one lightly praise food establishments. Today, however, I has happily surprised by how good the sandwiches at Apple Spice Junction are. ASJ catered a corporate lunch that I attended and the sandwiches were phenomenal. The bread was fresh and delicious and they did not skimp on the meat and vegetables like so many companies often do at catered events. I wholeheartedly recommend Apple Spice Junction. read more

This review concerns the company's Box Lunch Menu. The small company I work for has ordered from this menu about three or four times in the last couple years for business meetings. This review reflects my most recent experience that occurred a couple days ago and is indicative of all of my dealings with Apple Spice Junction. Overall, my response to the food for the prices charged is "meh." To begin, I find that this menu is quite unnecessarily restrictive. For example, most other sandwich places I know of allow you to select the kind of bread you want. I ordered the BLT, but I wanted wheat bread. I couldn't make any substitutions, so I had to order the BLT Deluxe (and pay an extra buck) to get wheat bread. But I didn't want the avocado and sprouts on this sandwich and those would have just gone to waste. Also, instead of potato chips I wanted the fresh veggies for a side, but again I couldn't choose this side without shelling out an additional $2.50 to get the "Executive Box Lunch." The company paid for my lunch, but I don't want to waste money during these tough times. The prices are too high for what you get. The items on this menu start out between $6.99 and $7.99. The boxes are quite appealing and convenient to hold your food, but what's inside is quite disappointing. For example, my BLT was on a couple of slices of bread that seemed to be from a loaf of Wonder Bread you'd get at the grocery store. The bread's flavor and texture did not taste like it was freshly baked. The sandwich had three small bacon strips, two very thin tomato slices, and a couple small lettuce heads. The only sauces were two small generic packages of mustard and mayo. I appreciate that the sauces came on the side, but they were boring and unimaginative. Although the bacon and lettuce were both deliciously crisp and flavorful, the sandwich as a whole was very mediocre. For the same amount of money, I can go to other places for more options, more food, and higher quality. The free delivery does not mitigate the price that you pay for what you get. The side items were alright, but not amazing. Like I said before, I wanted the veggies but the potato chips were okay. Luckily they were oil free and had reduced fat. A cookie was also included for dessert. Now, cookies are my absolute weakness but this one was a disappointment. It was only slightly chewy and didn't taste fresh at all. To be honest, I thought it was one of those processed packaged cookies you can get at Target or someplace. Not to be gross or mean, but I took one bite, chewed a little, and spit it out in my napkin and threw the rest of it away. Didn't want to waste calories on a bland dessert. In Apple Spice Junction's defense, however, I will say that I'm impressed with their customer service and marketing. We ordered these lunches for a board meeting when some of the board members arrived much earlier than expected. Although they warn customers right on their menu to place calls early in the morning, they accommodated our schedule like they always do. We ordered online and didn't wait long for our food to arrive. The lady who delivered was very pleasant and nice to work with. Additionally, they have sent someone to personally give us complimentary plates of cookies three or four times over the years in an effort to engage us. We appreciate that they do work hard to earn business. Again, not really a fan of their cookies, but I appreciate the gesture. Still, their great service does not overcome their weak, overpriced food. I don't know if my company will place another order, but it won't if my vote counts. I would recommend another place for lunch. Utah County has a reputation for being cheap, and that goes double for small businesses. If Apple Spice Junction wishes to thrive in this market, then it needs to improve the value it offers customers. I would suggest enhancing food quality, diversifying the menu, and allowing for greater customer flexibility. read more

I had some time between PT and an appointment with a doc at lunchtime. Someone recommended I go next door for lunch. I have celiac and figured that as a sandwich place I'd go in, ask a few questions and end up sitting down with just a drink and my book. A few salads looked good and I decided I was hungry enough to eat a salad. (Anyone with celiac understands that going hungry instead of paying for an overpriced salad when they're the only option at a great many places is preferable.) Then the guy told me I could have gluten free bread with my salad. Wait what?! So I asked, and could get a sandwich, any sandwich, safely made for me. So I had a sandwich instead. And while I wouldn't rate it as some stellar, out of this world thing, it was very good. The bread was excellent and the sandwich was a completely normal size. With an Udi's cookie to go with it, and the milk store next door, it was a perfect lunch. I did not get sick at all, which means they managed to feed me without any gluten contamination. I highly recommend stopping in if you're looking for a quick, celiac safe lunch. read more
