Apple Spice Junction

By far the best delivered box lunch that you can get in the area. My business uses them to order box lunches for our executive meetings. You definitely get your money’s worth! The food is delicious and fresh and I think a good value for what you get. Do not order the curry chicken salad!!! I have had 8 boxed lunches from them and that is the only one I hated!

Wow. People of Richmond, I implore you to get out more. With all the fabulous reviews and with my own co-worker’s recommendation, I ventured to have some lunch at Apple Spice Junction. First of all, its hard to find because its in a industrial park-​like area, hidden away, with virtually no signage. The menu does have some promising items and their kitchen seems well equipped to handle their large catering business. Service at the register was good (pleasant, answered questions, accurate), but then it all went downhill. The chicken salad sandwich was extremely over-​curried (and I love curried chicken salad so this was disappointing), my order of potato salad was brought out as macaroni salad, and their woman’s bathroom was disgusting. It had some sort of white liquid on the floor of the one stall oozing out of god-​knows-​where.
Not going to be venturing there again anytime soon.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I’ve only had the box lunches from there but they are always AMAZING. Not only does everything taste great but my order is always very accurate (sometimes I request to substitute/​add ingredients). The sandwiches taste super fresh, homemade, and way more delicious than any chain restaurant like Panera. They also add a cute personal touch by adding a York Peppermint Patty to every box lunch. Love this place, they do an exceptional job. Keep up the great work! :)

Absolutely agree with all the reviews listed below. Fantastic box lunch and a nice personal touch! Everything tastes fresh and the staff is super friendly!

Today’s lunch was so delish, I had to write a review asap!
For an office lunch I ordered 2 Caesar salads and one Southwestern Chicken salad. All were delicious, but since I had the Southwestern, I will give you the scoop. Fresh greens and veggies topped with grilled chicken, corn, black beans, tortilla strips, and cilantro. The best part, and therefore probably the most unhealthy part, the special BBQ ranch dressing! OMG, I could drink the stuff. The salads are a nice size and come with two slices of bread (one herb and one plain) with honey cinnamon butter and plain butter. The honey cinnamon butter is enough to feel like a dessert, but I also ordered a rice krispy treat and it was awesome! In case you don’t want to order dessert, they come with a mini York peppermint patty.
Highly recommend Apple Spice Junction if you need lunch delivered for your next meeting or event! Note, their delivery slots can quickly fill up so if possible call in advance.
Cheers!

Never a bad experience. I have had delivery and sit down and eat there. The sandwiches are amazing. Simple, fresh, filling. Will definitely be back. It’s a little hard to find it but just follow the signs. I must add that the service is super fast. Friendly workers and clean environment.

They make the most amazing sandwiches. It is easy to see that all the ingredients are fresh and top notch. Their salads are also fresh and delicious. They have excellent baked good that you won’t be disappointed by.

I am in love with the healthy delights served in this glorious place of goodness with includes very reasonable prices.

Apple Spice Junction catered a function we had on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 for our Public Service Week Luncheon. Let me say that the sandwich buffet which included bread, cheese, meats, pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes, a salad featuring their apple/​ranch dressing, potato salad and cookies for dessert, was DELICIOUS! Especially the bread!!! Soft, fresh and ohhh sooo yummy. I highly reccomend this place!!!

I love, love, LOVE me some Apple Spice. This is my go-​to place when I want to treat myself to a big, fantastic, decently priced lunch. I have gotten a few different items, but hands down the best thing on the menu is their club sandwich. It’s got perfectly crispy cooked bacon strips, ham, turkey, cheddar, and lettuce on this amazingly soft honey-​wheat bread, and comes with a side of their awesome homemade «signature sauce» to dip it in. Arguably as delicious as the sandwiches are the sides. I have tried the potato and the pasta salads and regularly crave them. SO FREAKING GOOD. The box lunches also come with a soft, delicous cookie and a yummy pickle and peppermint patty, and it all comes in an adorable cardboard box lunch with plasticware and a napkin. I like to order online on days when I know I’ll have a busy lunch break so that I can just stop by and pick it up in between errands. Lucky for me, one of the 2 Apple Spice locations in all of VA is located 3 minutes from my workplace, but I think that I’d make the trek out for lunch even if it was a little further away. Try them out, you won’t regret it!

Got a bunch of box lunches; they were wonderful. The bread was so fresh. I would definitely order from here again and they have become my new go to place for box lunches. Very affordable and delicious.

I work at the McGuire VA Medical Center and today, we ordered box lunches from Apple Spice. Everyone was so impressed with the quality and taste of their sandwiches! The sides were delicious and the cookies are amazing! We are definitely going to order again and hopefully they will make the hike to South Richmond. Love this place!

They catered an event that I recently attended for work and everyone in my group was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the ingredients and portions.
I can’t vouch for price, but as a guest of an event that they catered for, I can say the sandwiches are bangin’. It’s kind of funny that I first tried their food for a catered event. My mom lives very close to the store and we have had it on our radar for a while to check out. Because the store is only open during the week for lunch, it just hasn’t been practical for us to make it out.
Anyways, the food. They had at least a half dozen sandwich options at the event, and I went with turkey and avocado. The bread was really fresh, and I liked that it also came with a cranberry sauce spread on the side. They offered lots of healthy side options including fruits and veggies, but I settled on chips. All boxes were served with a chocolate chip cookie, a pickle and peppermint patty. I was sufficiently full afterward. I would definitely consider going in their store for lunch if it was an option for me.

We use Apple Spice Junction (ASJ) for catering frequently for work when we have large meetings or trainings. Occasionally I have also placed smaller orders for meetings as well and have always been impressed with ASJ. When placing orders over the phone the staff are always helpful to make suggestions based on the number of people they are providing food for. I really appreciate this as it can be daunting placing an order for 40+ people but I never agonize over having enough for everyone when I use ASJ.
My most recent order was for 5 people which I actually completed online. Their online ordering system is very easy and through; allowing you to tailor each sandwich, salad or lunch time you order exactly the way you want it. I had people that wanted extra dressing, no cheese, etc and was able to note all of those things as I selected them. They called me after the order was placed to confirm and give me an estimate on the delivery time.
With the larger orders they deliver and set up everything for you which is awesome. Their sandwiches are hearty and if you order the box lunches they come with plenty of sides. I really like their BLT and Turkey Avocado sandwiches. If there was something I could never get enough of though it’s the honey cinnamon butter and bread. I always wish I had more of that butter any time I have it. Writing this review is making me crave some right now!

This is the best lunch I’ve had in a long time! Seriously!
The menu at Apple Spice Junction is not complicated. Soups, salads and sandwiches. Today’s visit was my first. I had the Cashew Chicken Salad and O.M.G. was it delicious. And filling! Assorted greens mixed with fresh vegetables, topped with their famous homemade cashew chicken salad. They recommended poppyseed dressing with it, and it indeed was the perfect complement! You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. They give you bread and different spreads to go with your salad, and even that was scrumptious! They also give you a peppermint patty. Nice touch. And service? Outstanding. Prompt and friendly. You can tell they appreciate your business.
Being, strangely tucked away in a business complex across from J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, it’s easy to miss. I am not in this area often at all, but when I am, I will definitely go back for a soup and sandwich. I notice that they cater, too. I’ll file that away for future reference!

I saw this company advertised on the side of one of their vans driving downtown Richmond. I took a chance on them and hired them to cater for my job serving 55 people. They are awesome, they deliver piping hot food, set up, use chafing dishes and utensils as well as a beautiful display on the table. The food is always good. Ive ordered ziti, chicken parmesan, and chicken alfredo pasta. The packages all come with salad and bread and the best part of catering with them is they come back to collect their gear and clean up too!
Their food and service were well worth the money spent!
