    I can only speak of the salads here. My friend has been bringing "Joe's Salad creations" from here to our Friday potluck. Fresh ingredients, ripe sweet fruit, and creamy delicious dressings.

    Chinese Chicken Salad
    Joyce T.

    This is for the Chinese chicken salad. The vegetables are fresh and battered chicken are very tasty but the sesame powder (?) and dressing doesn't match the salad. I will be back to try the soup and sandwiches

    A great egg salad sandwich!
    Kevin B.

    This place is further from where I work than I typically go for lunch, but I was up in the area for an errand, and decided to try it. Glad I did. An egg salad sandwich is an egg salad sandwich? Not quite. a) lots of egg salad, cool. b) *green* lettuce, cool. c) a pickle, very cool. There's a place right around the corner that used to give pickle slices with their lunches, and when covid hit they stopped, and never started back up again. Don't think I didn't notice that! I'll be back to Vince's ...

    Veggie sandwich It's not good.
    Elle W.

    I got a veggie sandwich. It's really bad. Would not recommend if you're looking for vegan friendly options. The bread is tough and soggy. The veggies are all dipped in pickle juice so it was so wet. And slimy juice was dripping off. Overall terrible.

    Chicken tortilla soup with cheese.
    Ariana H.

    First time trying this place and it's only down the street from my job so I was really hoping to like it. The service was like no other I have seen. I came right at the lunch rush and I waited in line less than 2 min with 3 people ahead of me. I ordered their salmon day special. It was a pasta with salmon and cauliflower. I liked it but nothing too memorable. The side options were a soup or salad. I went with the soup and it took the show! I never thought a chicken tortilla soup needed cheese but I've been missing out all my life. It added a saltiness and gooeyness that I've never had before. Once ordered I waited maybe 5 mins. They had about 10-15 people working at once. You can see right into their kitchen and it was a well oiled machine. Really happy I found this place. I'll be back to try their Sanwhiches or any other specials they might have.

    Their menu as of March 4th, 2020.

    Vince Cafe has been in Southern Fremont for years, as this is a very popular place to grab lunch from the local businesses. They are very spacious inside and they have outdoor seating too, with plenty of parking. They have a wide range of fresh items, such as cold & hot sandwiches, burgers, fries, soups & salads & even pasta. Their menu does change, but their cold sandwiches are pretty consistent. Because all of their items are freshly made, it can take a while for your food to be prepared, so you should only come here if you have a longer lunch break. Also if you come here during the peak lunch hour, they can be very crowded. If you want to pay with your credit card, the minimum purchase is $10. As for the food, they're good & fresh, and worth the price that you pay for; and you're supporting a local business.

    Vince's is a go to for the businesses in the area so it gets busy during the lunchtime hour. Pictures one of their specials 1/2 sandwich & 1/2 salad. I've gotten their California turkey before but pictured is their Club sandwich. It does the trick for a quick close spot during the work day but overall the sandwiches are average. My personal preference is warmed bread and cheese but this is your average cold cut sandwich. Their croutons in the salad are delicious though! They taste like they are freshly made. I will probably come back due to convince

    Cobb salad

    Good food, fast service and friendly customer service! The walnut shrimp thing was also pretty delicious

    Mmmm
    Saleen L.

    I've honestly only come here for lunch and always want to try their specials or burgers - BUT can't stop getting my fave sandwich every time I walk out of this damn place... This is a legit hole in wall, mom & pop owned shop serving a mix mash of different foods, anything from short ribs on mashed potatoes TO honey walnut prawns TO sandwiches & burgers...YES it's weird, but it somehow freakn works.... Super fast service, you look at the menu - order - pay - get a number - find a seat or wait for your to go. Line looks long but will move fast. Food will also come out fast which is always a plus, if you get a sandwich (to go) it'll pretty much be ready when you get to the register to pay. I always get the California turkey sandwich which comes on a YUMMY Dutch crunch bread that just does wonders + Generous amount of turkey + lettuce + avocado...then I add sprouts AND a cup of soup which can be a hit or miss. Sometimes the soup is good, but most of the time it can be a little too watery - def. made in house if that tells you anything...all in all - the sandwich alone makes me happy!

    Is Vince's back open yet? Take out only?

    Serving indoor and outdoor.

    Anyone know an email or text to reach Stan the manager? Many of us local businesses love Vince's and due to Covid-19, let's see if there are any inventive ideas we can come up with to help them stay afloat - delivery/to-go curbside pickup, etc.

    vincescafe@icloud.com

    Is this a place to go if u only have an hr lunch?

    If you get there by 11:48 am! The line grows by then, but, honestly even with a long line they prepare the food very quickly. So I'd say yes...

    We came here for breakfast as we were passing through Fremont and I love the Niles area…read more The drinks we were got were good but a little too sweet for me. My boyfriend got the fried chicken steak plate and it was good and a really big portion. I got the spicy chicken melt and it was really good and tasty plus really big portion. We also shared the beignets that come in different flavors and they were fluffy and really good. Altogether a solid breakfast spot.

    It doesn't hurt to smile!…read more Firstly, I'm happy to say that the food and portions are amazing over here. If you want to eat at a place that has good quality and a big enough portion to either share or take home for leftovers then this is the place to go. There were some notable things that we stumbled across in our dining experience. I had noticed that one of the utensils wasn't washed properly so there was a dried up piece of vegetable or something stuck on it. Also I requested my burger to be cooked medium but when I received my order, it was more so well done with no pink in the middle. One of the two pork chop was cooked great, while the other was a little dry and chewy. Regardless, these were things that didn't warrant calling over a server. The thing that mainly put a stain for our restaurant outing at Skillet'z was the service. Upon walking in we were not greeted with a friendly welcoming and when seated they quickly walked away. The lady who took our order did not even look like she wanted to be there, granted I understand that nobody really enjoys having to go to work but if you need to interact with customers, maybe this isn't the occupation for you. While we were eating there was not a single time that anyone came up to us to ask us how we were doing, if we needed anything, or how the food was. There was a moment where it was someone's birthday at another table and I don't think I've ever heard a more unenthusiastic and monotone announcement for a birthday and a lame excuse for a birthday song. They're not going to bother with dropping off a check/bill for the meal so you need to go up to the counter to pay for the food. Once you step up to the counter keep in mind that more than likely you will encounter a rude interaction and a feeling that you were inconveniencing them. Overall I'll more than likely eat from here again, primarily for the food. But maybe next time we'll consider just taking out to go.

The place has been around forever (Bay St Cafe). Dogs on leash ok. There's plenty of space indoors and outdoors to hang around, but note that it's quite popular, so crowds are regulars here. Apni Mandi grocery store parking lot is in back, but free parking is ok in the plaza if you can find a spot. Although the entrance door of cafe is in front side, you can still enter through back patio door area which is usually unlocked during business hours. Check for weekdays special happy hours 3pm-6pm for 15% off selected items too. I like it. I ordered for early dine-in on a Sunday morning. Positive busy vibes. Chatted with the employees too. Good people. Comfortable inside. I didn't think I would ever end up near the front windows/always so packed with customers inside, but it was perfect for vitamin D sunshine with sun facing east. Love it here. I had a very good and fulfilling breakfast grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread plus my regular hot cup drip coffee. Good option good tasting. They really hooked it up with the oily pesto sauce/droppy juicy here. There's a good variety of selections on the menu. Feels great and looks great.

The French toast, avocado toast, as well as their mission peak sandwich and Monte Cristo we're all delicious and my aunt and niece love their food and my one year-old Nephew loved the avocado toast!! I've never seen so many slices of avocado on a $13 avocado toast in my life!! They definitely do not skim on the avocado!! I definitely felt like I got my moneys worth!! I love coming here!!

But I think you're really paying for the ambiance here. Though loud from the music and coffee, the place is aesthetically pleasing to the eye with wood and fairy lights. The smoked salmon toast was a little dry and the pickled onions but to sweet for me as a savory bite. The pancakes were great. The coffee was okay. A little underwhelming cold brew. Not sure how well the floors get cleaned since an ant crawled onto our table and my friend looked under the table and there was a very old piece of maybe fruit dried and stuck between the flooring where a pile of ants were swarming. Overall, I think it's a decent spot but has places to work on such as the service, hospitality and cleanliness.
