I have passed Donelan's for years and have never been in, but I was heading home around 2:30 after…read moredoing errands and I was really hungry. While I really wanted - and needed - something that was "real lunch food" (i.e. something filling, like a sandwich) I wandered around and didn't feel like fruit. I saw a couple of pre-made sandwiches in the deli area, but nothing appealed to me and I was drawn back to the bakery area. You know those nice and big slices of cake that grocery stores have that sometimes have a lot of frosting? They have them, and it had A LOT of frosting and that's when I knew a day of healthy eating would be pushed to another day. Found a nice big slice of white cake and that frosting looked soooo good. I looked around for a fork because I wanted to dive into it in the parking lot, but that needed to wait until I got home. One minute through the self-checkout lane and I was off, and hurried home to get my sugar rush. It was delicious, and there was so much frosting that I didn't eat all of it (probably a first for me). After wandering the aisles, the prices seemed the same to me as those that I normally pay in Newton at Star Market, so I may need to pick up some actual food the next time I am driving by! Store was VERY clean, definitely a bonus!

I don't know where they might be". then I asked the front end supervisor & he also said that's not my area. With some hesitation he went to flower stand, he took a good two minutes and got me a piece of ribbon. I thought I should let the customer service person/manager or know what happened. The manager said she is on a call and she could not hang up. When I went to grab what I purchased, front end supervisor asked me why I am even there. In my opinion this is very poor customer service at Natick Roche Brothers. I will never set my foot again in that store.

My wife's cranberry walnut chicken salad sub was also tasty but the chicken salad was extremely sparse.... less than 1/2" thick for the length of the sandwich. For a $27+ charge, the sandwiches were good but overpriced for what we got. The store, though, is very interesting and I would not hesitate to buy some of their imported goods, but doubt that I would get sandwiches again. Too bad, I had high hopes. After living in Framingham almost 7 years, I have yet to find a great sub shop. When we lived in the North Shore, great sub shops seemed to be everywhere.
