10/10 for food and service! Went in grab lunch the other day, we got the King Karaban Sandwich and Crazy Caprese both on ciabatta bread. The Caprese had a ton of flavor, it had fig vin cotto which I was a little worried about thinking it might be too sweet but to my surprise it was absolutely delicious! Huge portion sizes, we ended up having leftover and it all tasted just as delicious the next day! I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches! It's a little bit loud in there but nothing out of ordinary. read more

Let me just start by saying I am absolutely obsessed with the angry Italian. I work up here coming from Philly from time to time and every single time I find out I am coming up here for work all I can think about is this place and specifically the angry Italian. Such a delicious take on a classic Italian much more jazzed up and flavorful. The bread. What can I say other than I would be happy with just the bread. All "kidding" aside, I have had multiple sandwiches here and they are all incredible. I highly recommend coming in and having a bite, you won't regret it. read more

Bread is fresh but the sandwich is an utter disappointment if not a rip off. $14 for an Italian sandwich with three slices of meet and a slice of cheese. read more

Grabbed lunch from here and it was a great experience. I have been craving sandwiches this summer and this place definitely hit the spot. My friends and I got three sandwiches to share - angry Italian, chipotle blt, and the townie. The best one was the angry Italian - the pepperoncini definitely added a bit to be missed dynamic. The chipotle bit was my second favorite but was a little too salty for my taste. The townie was good but I personally wasn't a fan of the horseradish mayo as it felt like it overwhelmed the sandwich. Overall, definitely recommend checking them out. The sandwiches are HUGE, so we had both lunch and dinner from these and they kept well. read more

Sandwiches are so good and I can't tell if it's the bread, the ingredients inside the bread, or a combination. read more

I was looking for a quick bite to eat while driving. And I saw this place. And I thought that I would stop and give them a try The staff could not have been friendlier. The place with jam-packed the food was awesome. I would definitely recommend going here if you wanted some really great food. read more

They've ruined me for getting sandwiches anywhere else in the area! By far the best sandwiches. Amazing ingredients, always fresh, fantastic bread options. My favorites are the Townie, their tuna with bacon, and they're Crazy Caprese. Yum! read more

Get the clam chowder. Seriously just get it. Their sandwiches are amazing, the chowder is even better. Everyone is always kind and on the ball. Plus, they often have Donut Stand donuts. Couldn't ask for better food or nicer people. read more

My original review stands-we are very fortunate to have The Vin Bin in Southborough (& in neighboring Marlborough & Hopkinton). The shops are locally owned and operated by owners and staff who genuinely care about their products and enjoy sharing their knowledge the beer wine and cheese selections. The creative sandwiches, soups and salads will have you coming back again and again to see what's on the special menu and enjoy their creations. You can also find unusual chocolates, cookies and snack foods in addition to the standard chips. Trust me, it's all good! Now located within the Vin Bin is the pop up Donut Stand (see separate review), of which we regularly partake. You must order ahead so check out their FB & website. Drop by and check out the Vin Bin you'll definitely find some thing you just have to try. read more

Whatever they describe as their version of A1 sauce served on the Townie was akin to ketchup water. I literally shudder when I think about how it tasted. Gross. Ruined the entire sandwich. read more

It's a great place with deliciously unique sandwiches and pleasant staff. My ONLY frustration is in the many many years I've been getting Togo sandwiches and order online with a "tip in advance" (which is a weird new thing at many places) - I have never ever ever once received a thank you for the tip. It goes a long way so you should consider it. ;-) even today I said thank you to the person who handed me the bag and they were silent. Strange. read more

Phenomenal gourmet sandwiches! Can't believe this is the first time I've tried them, but I got a Townie and Angry Italian: Both were good-sized and had nothing but the best ingredients. They were each delicious in their own ways and satisfying both myself and my father. Definitely ordering again! A hidden gem! read more

Vin Bin - Angry Italian and Townie. - Cafes Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

Didn't realize this was more than a wine shop until I read they were a best of Metrowest lunch spot. Kinda pricey. Don't think you can get out of there for under $10 per head. But the food was really good. The selection was a notch above basic deli. Service was quick. And they offer both eat in and take out. They had a bag of black truffle potato chips out for samples. Nice touch. read more

Food is excellent. However be prepared; the sandwiches are huge. My friend said the soups there are excellent but I just got a BLT with avocado which was great. It has a peaceful dining atmosphere if you want to stay and eat there. Friendly staff. read more

All locally sourced food and very fresh taste! I enjoy the ambience here, they have wine, beer, and great sandwiches salad and soup. Lots of locals come through here and you are always greeted by welcoming staff and it feels like a great time whether you sit in or do take out. I really enjoyed the NE clam chowder (green onion and bacon really hit the spot) and the Italian sandwich. They have daily specials too which always sounds tasty. Definitely a place to visit if you're in the area! read more

Vin Bin - Italian sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

The. Best. Sandwiches. Ever. Homemade guac, homemade chipotle mayo, tomatoes, lettuce and bacon, on an Iggy's ciabatta roll? Out of this world! read more

Vin Bin - The Chipotle BLT is unsurpassable. The. Best!! - Cafes Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

I personally think it is really overpriced for what you get, but the food is tasty. I had the 1/2 soup 1/2 sandwich lunch with a Reuben on marbled rye bread and clam chowder. The marbled rye was a very good loaf of bread, but it was sliced thick which made the ratio of bread to corned beef a bit off - I would have like more meat. The clam chowder was good - tender clam pieces and salty bacon pieces with fresh scallions on top. Nice selection of interesting sandwiches. read more

Best place to get lunch sandwiches that are a little different (in a good way- no typical subs here) and always tasty. Three daily soups and a special sandwich on offer too. I always order the Crazy Caprese and it is served on Iggy's bread toasted in a panini grill. I also love the BLT. The sandwiches are large, so I typically eat half and save the other half for later. Try out this hidden gem off of route 9. read more

This place is so great!!! My favorite sandwich is the chipotle blt! They have a great wine and beer selection. The employees are super friendly and professional. Definitely recommend this place, the sandwiches and grocery store is amazing. read more

Vin Bin - Chipotle BLT.... So amazing! Literally my favorite sandwich at the vin bin. I highly recommend it!! - Cafes Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

OMG, I had not been back since they opened. The ventilation is terrible, and it overwhelms with the food smell. It wasn't clean, and the wine shelves were empty. A couple of selections I would have loved to take home, but the staff was aloof, and no one came to ask even though there wasn't anyone in! They seemed to be working on a catering order. The furniture was never taken care of since its Panzano days. Sad. I was such a Vin Bin fan when they first opened. Then something happened to the owner. I still love the sandwiches of the first gig in Marlborough, truly Chef was the local sandwich king. I grabbed a loaf of my yearned for bread and one of the cookies that transported me back to the glory days of Panzano, and a cleaner, brighter and much tighter day. C'mon folks. You can keep it up! read more

I love this place!!! I've been coming here for years but last week, had my first sandwich snafu. They made it right instantly! I had already gone back to work for the day so the manager assured me that I would have a gift card waiting for me when I came back for my next order. I came in today to get my replacement and they had given me so much credit on the gift card, it actually covered the soup I ordered as well! Amazing customer service and always with a smile. This is why I'll keep coming back! Thanks! ~ Kat Mason read more

I just went for the first time, and I'm hooked! It's a bit pricey but for a good, handmade sandwich it's worth it. I ordered off the menu with a small adjustment. No problems at all. I will definitely be there again. read more

Food is good...however, it's a tad overpriced for the small portion you receive. Another con is you can literally purchase a single beer from here, but you can't drink it there. Also, I'm not from Southborough and I noticed the store has an awful mix of customers- half rich privileged yuppies(literally saw the rudest man I have ever heard talking to the employees, while wearing Gucci.) half elitist hipsters types. If I eat here again, which I probably will once in a while because the food is quite good, I'll go to a less "elite" location. This is not Vin Bins fault, just an unfortunate clientele. High Point: Clam Chowder. INCREDIBLE. JUST DELICIOUS. Low point: Customer base. read more

Been here twice and the food has always been delicious for deli food. Not many places to sit so grab a seat first or your eating in your car. Loved my clammy clam. Chowder and I'm definitely getting that again! My Reuben was good but not great. read more

Really delicious gourmet sandwiches for lunch! They also have a selection of snacks and wines if you need to grab any to bring home.

Fantastic!!! The sandwiches and soups are amazing. I don't feel like you could go wrong with anyone you pick. Excellent ingredients fresh produce and very tasty combinations. They also sell wine cheese and cigars. Highly recommend!!! There's usually a line for lunch but moves pretty fast. read more

This was our first time coming here. I got the 1/2 chicken salad sandwich and a cup of chowder. That chowder is the best in Metro west, IMO. I liked my sandwich a lot, just wish the chicken was diced smaller. Still good, though...., While waiting, we shared the most delicious, "Blondie". It seemed to have white chocolate and dried cherries. Excellent! Service was friendly and quick. We will be back. read more

There is something about Vin Bin's kale Caesar salad that always has me coming back for more. It must be the perfect garlicky dressing and/or the always fresh greens- either way I don't care. It's simply the best. The staff at the Southborough location are always super nice, helpful and upbeat. So happy to have this gem in our town. Oh and fantastic sandwiches too- the reuben will NOT disappoint. read more

I've enjoyed getting sandwich platters (catering for small events) at the Vin Bin since moving to Southborough. It's easy to email them the request and follow up via phone for payment information. The sandwiches are unique and guests have been impressed! Atmosphere in the café is nice too - convenient place to stop in town. read more

They have gluten-free sandwiches here, with bread that tastes good! Everything is locally sourced, tastes good. Ambiance-wise, you're in a wine store, which has a few tables set up. It's not bad, just kinda feels weird to be eating in a liquor store. It's pretty cold in here too, even on a not-so-cold December day. The staff was very nice as well. The main knock is that it's pretty expensive for the portion you get. I wasn't particularly starving when getting there, though my wife was, and the sandwich was about 5 bites. We were still pretty hungry after finishing our meal. So hungry that we went next door for ice cream. I wouldn't come here if looking for a solid meal, but it would be nice on a summer's day to come through, get a light lunch, and enjoy it outside. Short story: Tastes good, ethically sourced, good staff, tiny portions. read more

Food was very good. Rubin was excellent. The Chicken Ridiculous was very good. Guessing the ridiculous was from the amount of sauce dripping off the sandwich. The Middle East was overstuffed with goodness. Bread was nice and fresh. Prices were reasonable. Definitely plan on eating here again! read more

Order at the counter and sit on scuffed chairs at bare tables in a chilly open shelving environment. Ordered a "panini," which was cold ingredients on a toasted Italian roll. They should have been in a ciabatta, then pressed flat. Tasty filling but straight from the fridge. Might be okay for takeout. read more

Consistently does an amazing job at providing excellent customer service with amazing food! My personal favorite is the "Chicken Ridiculous" sandwich, though I've tried the majority of sandwiches/paninis that they offer and they are all quite delicious! Definitely check out Vin Bin if you find yourself in the area. They also have a great selection of craft beers and wine if that's your thing. 5/5 incredible!! read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting this Vin Bin. I chose the soup and half sandwich. They were both amazing!! The butternut squash soup was perfect and the Reuben sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. I was impressed with the cleanliness and set-up of this store/casual cafe. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to you by very friendly waitstaff. I am looking forward to going back to try some of Vin Bin's other offerings. read more

This place is one my favorite quick & easy lunch spots close to work. I usually phone in my order and it's always ready when I get there. I usually get the half sandwich & cup of soup option. The few soups I've tried are delicious and taste homemade. They have no problem substituting the kind of bread or cheese that I prefer from their regular sandwich menu. Highly recommended! read more

Vin Bin - Clam chowder comes with bacon & scallions. Delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Southborough, Massachusetts

Favorite place to grab an amazingly good sandwich before hitting up the movies with husband. Our favorite easy date. The food is so so good, so fresh, and I am food snob/hippie. I love they source much of the ingredients from local farms, everything is beautifully assembled and tastes good. I would never eat at a chain with crap food like Panera Bread. This place is heaven on earth to someone who cares how it tastes as well as what goes in it. A delightful spot, friendly staff. I can't wait for my next panini. read more

Love the paninis here! This is near my work so I come here frequently, especially on splurge Fridays. They have rotating specials to keep stuff interesting. The bread used in the sandwiches is wicked good, and deli meat is high quality. The crafted options are well thought out. Great lunch spot! read more

This place is great! Fantastic sandwiches and probably the best clam chowder I ever had!!

Vin Bin is a popular lunchtime spot on weekdays due to all the offices nearby. This is what drew me in the first place, as it is one of the closest to my office. Service is brisk thanks to an army of sandwich-makers mobilized to meet the demand, but I still suggest calling in your order ahead of time. I've tried several of their sandwich offerings and its been a mixed bag. The ingredients they use are solid, but to call their preparation methods unrefined would be an understatement. Every sandwich is drenched with whatever sauce it calls for. This overwhelms the flavors of the actual ingredients and is detrimental to the texture of the sandwich as well. I was really surprised to be served such food at a place like this, which has the pretensions of being a cut above a typical Boar's Head-tier sandwich shop. Initially I thought this flaw was a one time thing. But after getting a variety of sandwiches over a 1+ year period, I have concluded that it is their manifesto that no sandwich shall go un-drenched. If you think this property of their sandwiches could disagree with you, I strongly suggest letting them know when placing your order. Otherwise, prepare a lot of napkins. My solution has become to stick with the Chicken Tzatziki sandwich. The tzatziki sauce they use is so tasty that I don't mind the sandwich being submerged in it. The sandwiches are a reasonable value price and quantity-wise. They also have wine, baked goods, cheese, and salads. Perhaps I'm off my rocker and Vin Bin is great-its popularity sure attests to this. So I'd say its worth a shot if you're nearby. read more
