The Food Bin is not a clean place. The people are uppity and moody. The room where the sandwiches…read moreare made is humid, moldy, and dirty depending on who has the low paying chore of making the sandwiches that day they may or may not wash the lettuce and other produce very well or not at all. The sandwich preparer does not usually have a food preparer certificate, which is required in California. If you're thinking of getting a sandwich, just go to Whole Foods or New Leaf and get a legit sandwich made right in front of you, if you don't like it, they'll make you another one at no charge usually. The Food Bin and Herb Room are outdated. The place is like an old hippie that smokes cigarettes instead of cannabis, NO BUENO.

I really hate to be that person, but our visit today was a major disappointment. I remember coming…read morehere about a decade ago and had been looking forward to returning for their offerings and sharing what used to be an amazing find with my friend. Perhaps it was just an off day, but most of what we bought missed the mark. The duck pâté with hazelnut praline topping was so overwhelmingly gamey that we couldn't eat it. The bacon salami was incredibly salty and fatty, and while the flavor of the teriyaki jerky was good, the texture was extremely tough. The only thing we purchased that didn't end up in the compost was the picante salami, which was actually delicious and had a great flavor profile. All in all, it felt like an expensive and wasteful visit. Hopefully, it was just an off day--or, based on previous items reviewed, none of the items we purchased are their strong suit.

I know they are a little more expensive, but they are worth the extra price for special occasions. I also love their fish and chicken selections. Everything here is of the best quality and you can really taste the difference from what you buy at a grocery store. Meat and chicken actually have flavor that you can taste! Other than salt and pepper, their meats do not need seasonings and add ons to taste great. I also love the fact that I can special order meat. We order Sweet Breads, which are hard to find. Tim always comes through and the quality of the Sweet breads is top notch. They are tender and flavorful, unlike some of the Sweet Breads we have purchased from speciality meat stores in San Jose. No matter where you live, it is worth the drive to go to the Point Butcher shop for your meats.
