I don't come by often but when I do, I don't walk away disappointed. This place isn't as crowded which I like! It's not big enough for a large office party, but a very small group. Soups and Sandwiches are freshly made (haven't tried the salads yet lol). But I do recommend visiting if you happen to want a quick and fresh lunch! read more

Apple Spice Junction - The classic Cobb was delicious and the customer service was amazing. Definitely will come back. - Caterers Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

The menu is pretty extensive for box lunch delivery. The clam chowder was good (albeit fairly salty) and had plenty of clams. The sourdough bread was very soft and warm. However the crust had a faint odd chemical taste. My coworker loved her sandwich and crab soup which also had plenty of crab meat. I will pass on their salads. I was floored by the used of iceberg lettuce. For $12, I must admit I expected mixed greens or romaine. I got the stray grilled chicken salad and the strawberries were absolutely not ripe. I'd try this place again and only stick to soup and sandwiches. To offer 18 salads and 16 use iceberg lettuce is insane. You're charging premium prices for salads that rely on lower cost, flavorless, basic, low nutrient filler. Clearly the goal is maximum profit margins on cheap ingredients. Do better! read more

I met a former co-worker in LaPlata for lunch over the long weekend and her dining choice was closed. I am not a fan of chain restaurants and recommended Apple Spice Junction as an alternative ~ it's a traditional deli restaurant (limited seating) with sandwiches, salads, and soup options. I haven't been to Apple Spice Junction in years ~ I am happy to report that they still offer freshly prepared reasonably priced food. This place is a solid 4 stars and is worth the try if you find yourself in LaPlata. read more

So I have been coming here for years. The food recently is lacking substance. I went back up to the counter to ask for the sauce that comes with the sandwich, and I had to answer twice that no it was not in the box. The sauce might be an ounce container and doesn't even do much for the sandwich, but I like it, so I wanted what should have been there. I am not seeing how asking even for an extra would have been bad but I know from getting a salad once, that you have to play for an extra side of salad dressing. They could put together a much better sandwich, increase the side container size and not skimp on sauce for the hefty price you pay for lunch there. It would help improve the quality of the sandwich. The staff that works there are no longer nice and kind. I was there 90+ min before closing and the worker was struggling w the trash, noisily stacking chairs and sweeping right behind me. I felt intrusive staying to finish my sandwich. If they only have one counter worker and she is flustered closing up, then maybe mgmt could look into getting one other person to help. I would think this would be a nice place to work. read more

Apple Spice Junction - Turkey avocado - Caterers Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

I must say my mother and I were very disappointed in the sandwiches we ordered for lunch today. My mother ordered the Turkey Avocado on Honey Wheat Bread. Her sandwich had maybe 3 very thin barely noticeable slices of avocado which was on only one half of her sandwich and nothing on the other. I ordered the Italian Sandwich on Sourdough. I must say this was by far the worse Italian sandwich I've ever had. The so called "sourdough bread" was more like plain regular white bread that was falling apart after I put the "Vidalia dressing" on it. Oh, speaking of the Vidalia dressing. On the menu it stated that it was "Vidalia Onion Mayonnaise ". Um no. I asked for extra Vidalia onion mayo because I hate a dry sandwich. Not only did they give me a dry sandwich with no condiments at all on it, they gave me one single packet of mayo that was enough for one side of one slice of bread, and then gave me a little cup of Vidalia salad dressing. On the menu it said Vidalia onion mayonnaise! I love supporting my local businesses but y'all made me mad with this one. Didn't get pics of my mother's sandwich, but here's some pics of mines. Let do better Apple Spice Junction! I expect to get exactly what's listed in the description on a menu, unless I'm told they ran out of something. Oh and please get some cookie sleeves for the chocolate chip cookie and stop laying it bare in the box. I saw the video playing in the restaurant and the employee put the cookie in a cookie sleeve. read more

Ok, so I saw this place and I got excited! It's called apple spice, so naturally I thought there was going to be apple spice items being sold here. With the upcoming holiday season quickly approaching, I quickly started to think about all the apple holiday food, like apple cake, apple pie, apple fritters, apple butter, apple bread etc. So let me break the news softly. They don't have not one apple flavored anything in the whole store!!!! I know, it blew my mind too! I just didn't even know how to order or what to say once the lady informed me of this dream crushing news. However, for those of you looking for sweet potato and other baked goods, they have a decent variety. I did try their sweet potato casserole which is apparently a big hit there, and it was pretty good! They sell lots of sandwiches and deli type food, none of which I can attest to because after going in thinking about apple deliciousness I just couldn't bring myself to order a sandwich! The staff is very friendly, they have plenty of seating and what looked like a large menu (of everything but apples). They also cater and do boxes meals. read more

The sandwiches are absolutely delicious . I honestly wish I had heard of this place sooner. I initially thought it was only for catering, but it is not! Stop by or call ahead you will not be disappointed. read more

Ok, I have really loved Apple Spice in the past. But as of recently, the quality has really been not so great. Today has been the worst. I ordered a chicken Waldorf salad which comes with apples, grapes, candied walnuts, bleu cheese, and chicken with apple cider vinaigrette. I asked for only romaine lettuce and not the mix. I got romaine, apples, grapes, chicken - but also feta cheese instead of bleu, no walnuts, and the worst dressing (vinegar and oil) ever. The portion size was 1/2 of the normal size I've gotten in the past. I am really going to reconsider this as one off my favorite places to eat. read more

I come to this spot quite often but to be given raw chicken is completely unacceptable. I contemplated posting this review but I've realized others should be warned of this to be careful. Ordered in store for takeout. Didn't seem busy with only two other customers waiting in store (parking lot was empty). Got back to work and took a bite which I noticed the sandwich smelled funny. After discarding that bite I broke the sandwich open to find what you see below. Called back to let them know of this issue and spoke to Kevin (manager) who stated to "come back any day and your next meal is on us." Why would I patron your establishment again after receiving raw meat? No thanks, Kevin. They can get someone really sick with serving raw meat like this. Be warned! read more

The food at this place is amazing. I order thru door dash at least once a week. Everything is always fresh and well packaged. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Order lunch early! read more

We've ordered from here several times for business lunches using the catering delivery option. I won't do it again. Each time the order has been short... something missing... a lunch box, a drink, condiments, something... today let me be specific... I ordered the chicken cranberry wrap... sounded delicious... not! Because like delivery they are sloppy about building the sandwiches... instead of spreading all ingredients evenly I got a bite of flavorless chicken a bite of cranberry sauce a bite of lettuce with cheese... and without the soda that I ordered... never again read more

Absolutely wonderful lunch spot in the heart of La Plata I have been a frequent customer for years of Apple Spice in La Plata. The food is always, always, wonderful. I have never had a bad experience or unsatisfying food from here in the years I have been working in La Plata. Whether you are stopping in to sit down or in a hurry, they are the best option if you want fresh, yummy food. I hope they stay for decades to come! read more

This used to be a good lunch spot but it is steadily going down hill. It now takes 40 plus minutes to deliver a sandwich... when my office is a block away. And they constantly forget items or even key ingredients. For instance today I waited 45 minutes for a chicken sandwich and that is advertised with pesto mayo, there was no pesto mayo, which rendered the sandwich flavorless. I also ordered a cup of chili this came in a paper bag that had 5-6 random tortilla chips tossed on top of the container...oh here is a bonus my cup of chili is ice cold!!! In closing this GIF is me: https://media.tenor.com/images/51ce04a5a9950d983bc6f9f9e3862001/tenor.gif read more

Just came here for the first time today. My wife had put in an online order not realizing they were closing a bit early for New Year's Eve. There was still one person here and he made our order!!! He could have easily explained that they were closed but he went out of his way! Amazingly nice and completely over the top customer service! The food was equally amazing! We will definitely be coming back and telling everyone we can about Apple Spice Junction!!! read more

I order 2 deluxe boxes and usually very good, nut this time left outthe chips and the mint. Next time will check priorto take out.

Had seen this location when driving through the area but hadn't tried it. Today it popped up on DoorDash as an option so we have it a try. We ordered the Apple walnut salad with chicken and the bbq pulled pork salad. They were very good! We will definitely eat here again. read more

I really enjoyed their salad and tortillas soup was really good and they give a freshly made bread I love it so much

It's nice to have a local deli and bakery that serves fresh fast food. Ordered via ChowNow app and my food was ready within 5 minutes and ready for pick up. Great tasting food too. read more

Stopped here for the first time this afternoon. We were rushed out and the food was so so. Not worth what we paid for it at all. One of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. I do not recommend this restaurant. Food was overpriced and not worth half of what we paid for it. Went there expecting to have a meal. We ordered our food and the server brought it out to us in a to go bag and said they we're closing and we had to go. read more

I stopped in on day off from work. A little lunch treat! The service was quick and friendly, just what I wanted. I tried the recommended Aloha salad. Greens with pineapple, mandarin oranges, coconut and slivered almonds. The citrus vinaigrette was nice and light and added a touch of sweetness. The chicken was chunked up nice for a to go salad. It came with their signature bread, one slice of white and one of wheat, a nice treat, but definitely not needed for the average salad eater. The cost of lunch, was just under $11 and this included unsweetened ice tea. They have a few tables inside and outside for eating in case you want to eat there. Overall, a great place to stop in! read more

Goooood sandwiches and salads. There are a ton of options, all made fresh. I've yet to have one I didn't like. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable, but keep in mind that there is very limited seating indoors. However, there is plenty of seating outdoors if the weather permits. Fountain drinks and bottles available. The bread.. delicious! You can purchase it by the loaf as well if you'd like to take it home. Friendly regular staff here, so stop by and meet them. They have odd hours so keep this in mind. Not the least expensive option in town.. not out of line for quality food though. read more

FIRST TIME TRYING. If i could rate this establishment a -10 rating based on my experience, I would. First, let me say the food was AMAZING. Second, I thought the selections were a pretty big variety. Now. . . I have to say that their customer service here? DISTASTEFUL. I ordered through the UberEats app and once I placed the order, I noticed it was charging me double for a meal I purchased. Soon as I was going to call the cafe, someone called me stating that the salad I ordered was no longer an item on their menu, so I had to change it. I then asked if there was a reason I was getting charged twice for that one meal I ordered. The person proceeded to say that sometimes UberEats charges more than the original price. . . double?? wow. Anyway, I waited an entire hour and a half, (place is no longer than 5 mins away), for my order to never show up. I called wanting to cancel and get a refund but this same person gave me a nonchalant response. "You'll have to do that through the UberEats app." I said, "Ok so they will be able to refund me?" They said, "Yes." So UberEats apparently can't refund you once the order is placed(something I wasn't aware of) So I called this person back and they said "Well I don't know what to tell you, it's nothing we can do." I asked for their name (Kara) & the manager. The manager(Michael) got on the phone and proceeded to tell me they will try to cancel it on their end but it's something I would have to take up with UberEats. The food FINALLY got to me soon as I got off the phone. I was displeased with their customer service BUT loved the food. read more

These people can NEVER get an order right! The avocado on my sandwich was so brown my cheese has brown stripes on it! And the potato salad is warm! So done with ordering from this place! read more

One of the benefits of working in La Plata is being so close to Apple Spice! My job orders here every Friday for lunch, and I'm always sure to have my order ready. Every time I call in my order, they're so friendly. Their salads are huge and always super fresh. I love the herb roasted chicken salad. It's enough chicken to fill the entire salad, where you're not just left with lettuce at the end of your lunch. There's enough chicken for every bite! And it's seasoned so well! The bread is always super fresh and their cheesecake is OUTSTANDING!! I also love the chicken salad sandwich. It's HUGE and is sure to fill you up. I could eat here every day lol. read more

I am in the fire service in the county and have had food pretty much all over the state. This place is clean the food is really good and fresh. I have eaten here three times in past month. Different dishes and they have all been great. Plus they give you a cookie! They are really doing a great job during Covid. Being in the health field I don't eat somewhere that would be questionable especially during a pandemic! read more

Good lunch place. Over stuffed sandwiches, fresh salads, baked goods. An okay place if you want something fast. There is nothing bad, it's just an above average place when you want something more than Subway. I had the southwest salad which was lettuce, a spoonful of corn, a spoon and a half of black beans, some tortilla strips, and strips of chicken. The southwest dressing was tasty. read more

Love this place. It is way better than Panera. The fresh bread is good! I have never ordered from and not liked what I got. I love the turkey cran peno usually because I LOVE the cranberry jalapeño sauce. It's really cute inside too and they have an outdoor patio. read more

Walked in blindly looking for some tea and muffins for breakfast...no breakfast BUT, I did get a yummmy salad and honey butter to die for!!! Im so glad I found this diamond in the rough in my area. I have been dying for an amazing salad in the area but I have been coming up short! Since I work in DC, that has been the only place to find these types of salads....I cannot wait until my next visit!!! The curry chicken salad was AH-MAZ-ING!! I would recommend a small selection of baked goods (a few muffins or some nice banana bread) for breakfast, they had some nice desserts in the case...Im guessing there is an awesome baker in there somewhere. Perhaps a bacon, egg and avocado breakfast sandwich, with a nice tomato spread!!! (hint) Some hot apple spice tea or tea and coffee selections especially if you are open to the public before 11 am. I will definitely be visiting again! read more

I go to Applespice for lunch a lot. Probably too much. Very pleased every time I go. They have gourmet box lunches--basically you get a sandwich, side, cookie, and even a mint with each lunch. Best sandwiches include: chicken cashew, turkey avocado, club, blt deluxe.... okay basically everything. I've tried a bunch of their sandwiches and the only one I've ever regretted was the curry chicken. The sides are also always tasty. They give you a legit homemade cookie, too. The thing that makes Applespice so awesome is the bread. It's actual, good, homemade bread. It makes such a difference on your sandwich. The staff is always pleasant and cheery. I really have no complaints at all. Should you find yourself in La Plata looking for a lunch spot, this is the place to go. read more

I ordered the Apple and Walnut salad and I could NOT believe they charged 8 bucks for this "salad". The lettuce was brown, the walnuts were soggy (if that's possible) and the dressing tasted like it came from a plastic pouch. The serving size was also rather small. The part of the experience that was the worst was when we went to return the salad and ask for our money back (this was done politely) we were not given our money back but were given another salad that looked just like the first. What a disappointment! Needless to say I will never be returning! read more

Apple Spice Junction is the best! Their salads are amazing and so very fresh! Not to mention huge! Luckily they deliver, as the place i work orders lunch from them every day! I get the Southwest Tuna Salad every single day! lol! Very Good! There is only a couple of drawbacks to Apple Spice..they close at 5, so anyone who works during the day cannot get off of work and enloy this Gem, and they are closed on Sundays, so anyone who works during the week and on saturdays (as I do) cant EVER enjoy Apple Spice unless they are in Applespice's lunch time delivery range (which is pretty vast)..Soooo if you can get to Applespice during their limited hours, DONT MISS IT!! read more

Food is always great and delivery is very quick. I almost always get the turkey avocado sandwich with side of carrots. Great quick lunch with fresh food. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get a sandwich. I always order the turkey avocado and it's so yummy! I love that it comes with sprouts too. The idea of putting it all in a cardboard box (not a styrofoam "to-go" box) is so cute and unique. read more

The quality of this place has gone WAY DOWN in about the last year. When I found out about Apple Spice, I was eating there so often. The employees were great, the orders were always correct. Now, I have literally had an incorrect order the last 5-6 times I've gone. Sally was seriously the best thing about this place and insured the orders were correct. I have a hard time spending money where I cannot get a meal the way I ask for it. read more

I wish there was a rating lower than 1 star. My family ordered a fruit arrangement for us after the death of my dad. They tried to deliver it on Thursday, but we weren't home. We called the delivery driver and told her we would not be home on Friday. We requested that it be delivered on Saturday and that we would wait for her on Saturday and were told by her that they would deliver it then. They did not show up until Monday, then tried to blame us for the fact that they could not deliver the arrangement because we were not home. She was rude to my mom and when I called about it, the lady was very rude and tried to justify the non-delivery. She even told me she had pictures. Of what I do not know because I hung up on her because she was so rude. BUYER BEWARE. Do not ever expect good service from them. They have left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. read more

I've been to Apple Spice quite a few times over the years and have never been disappointed. OMG their curry chicken sandwich is so good and their cookies leave you begging for more. If you go you have to get a sandwich...I don't know what they do to make their bread so good...but I don't see how you can have a bad sandwich on it. The staff has always been nice and cheerful when you come in. I do wish they had later hours, I'm always sad when I go to La Plata and Apple Spice is closed...no day is complete without Apple Spice. read more
