Breaking Bread Catering & Deli

I have been here twice, I didn’t know this place excited until someone told me I must go eat here. The first time I went I got a Reuben sandwich with curly fries. This was one the best Rubens I have ever had outside of my house. There was just the perfect amount of meat and sauerkraut on the sandwich and the bread was the best Ryebread around.
The second time I went I got an Italian girl cheese sandwich. The sandwich was perfectly seasoned and again the fries were great.
Highly recommend this place!

The soups and sandwiches lack flavor. I’ve been here three times and I think that’s it for me. The food just isn’t tasty. They deliver though!

I have ordered from here twice previously. The food was all right and the delivery time was good, even though they messed up on one order. I decided to order there tonight through GrubHub and the order was supposed to be delivered by 6:10pm. By 6:30pm, they hadn’t arrived… so I called them. They informed me that they had tried to deliver and pounded on the door but no one answered. There were 3 other people in the apartment and I’m 10 feet from the door, no one heard any pounding or knocking. They clearly went to the wrong place. They informed me that my food was at the restaurant and I had to come pick it up if I wanted it. I told them if they weren’t willing to deliver the order I wanted to receive through DELIVERY, they could cancel my order and refund my card. I also advised that I would not patronize their establishment in the future. He just said, «Ok». I had to call GrubHub in order to get my refund. What kind of business treats their customers like this? If a restaurant messes up the order or something is wrong, good customer service dictates that you try again. Not this place. That kind of attitude will ensure this business will be permanently closing their doors soon.

Boyfriend and I were both not thrilled with this place… got a chicken sandwich I do not eat the bun so it was like nothing special and it was not that cheap… Boyfriend had a sandwich and also though it was just okay. Probably will not come back.

breaking bread will always be my favorite place. ive eaten the whole menu and didnt regret a single item. love the service and the staff. gotten to know most of them.

My office is about a mile away so I thought I would give it a try for a quick sandwich. Ordered a sandwich and sat down to wait. Waited about 10 minutes and no sandwich. I went to the counter to ask but no one was around. Waited a couple of minutes. Finally I see a guy in the back of the restaurant and I asked if he knew where my sandwich was. He said” I just got here man” he goes in the back and a woman comes out. She says (and not nicely) «I served you» I think I knew if I ate or not. She then runs out of the restaurant I assume looking for my sandwich at an outside table.
I got a refund and left. I have 100 employees and it could have been a good go to place. Only one chance to make a first impression.

Tried this place because of the fabulous Unilocal reviews and I like supporting independent local businesses (even if they’re in a strip mall). Ordered the chicken bacon sandwich and the pretzel cheese curds. Staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The sandwich looked great, but it needed some sauce – a little dry. It was still good, but definitely missing something to add flavor. The pretzel cheese curds were fabulous. I would go back and try a different sandwich with sauce next time. The prices seemed fair.

I took my mom to this cute, personable deli for lunch. Everything was homemade. This is a family owned business. I had the chief dog. (Jumbo hotdog with BBQ pork on top of a hotdog with melted motzerella cheese on a pretzel roll bun. «To die for!!»
Really delicious. Mac and cheese bites. Good. Really good! Next door to Ace Hardware by the Jewel strip.
Try it! It’s really good. Lots of sub sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdogs, coleslaw, potato salad etc., homemade chips, catering options too.

I purchased a Planitsave voucher, «Spend $ 10 and receive a voucher worth $ 20.
We ordered:
2 Italian Sub Sandwiches
1 Classic Cheeseburger and
1 Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich (I asked if it could be grilled and they let me know that they don’t have any grilled chicken. I guess that should have been a clue right there that they don’t use fresh ingredients in anything that they make.)
I placed my order at 6:30 on a Thursday night (not knowing that they closed at 7:00)
My total was $ 25 and I was to pick it up in 25 minutes.
I arrived on time and picked up my food. (I used my $ 20 voucher that I paid $ 10 for and then I paid the remaining $ 5 and change of my bill with cash.)
Review:
On the italian subs, the giardinara was extremely hot. Even after removing it, there was no way my kids could eat it because the juice from the giardinara was all over the sandwich. Then, I noticed that the meat in the sandwich had started to go bad!
The slices of salami had pink centers with GREY surrounding the edges!
There was no way I would eat it and I definitely would never feed it to my kids.
Even if the giardinara had been mild or the meat had been fresh, there’s still no way in hell that I would ever call it an «Italian Submarine».
It was not even close.
They seemed to have used grocery store soft rolls. Reminiscent of a 6pk of «Pepperidge Farm Sub Rolls» or the equivalent.
How are you going to name your restaurant «Breaking Bread» and not offer amazing bread?
Moving on.
The Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich was a gross shade of yellow and was cold.
The burger was cold also.
I’m not sure how it could have cooled off that much in the less than 5 minute drive to my house.
Perhaps they didn’t want to make a fresh patty when closing time was so near and so we got one that may have been sitting in a warmer for hours? Who knows.
We didn’t eat any of our food.
I called right away and one of the young teenage boys answered the phone.
I asked to speak to a manager to which he replied that he WAS a manager.
I explained to him the problems with our order. Starting with the giardinara on the subs. I didn’t understand why it wouldn’t state that the giardinara was spicy v. s mild on the menu.
He replied that he didn’t know that there were two different types.
I moved on to my issue with the meat on the subs being grey.
His answer for was that, «It was probably just the blood settling.»
What?
I also told him about the cold food. After rejecting his counter offer of restaurant credit, he agreed to refund my money and took down my info.
The day I came to collect my refund, the woman at the register was extremely rude to me.
I explained to her that I had used a Planit Save voucher worth $ 20 to pay for my $ 25 tab.
She looked at me and said, «Yeah, but you aren’t getting a refund for he entire meal, it says here that you complained about the sub sandwich».
I explained to her that no, it was the whole order that was unacceptable.
I explained the issue with the giardinara on the subs.
She said, «That’s not our fault, that’s how you ordered them!»
I explained to her that it usually states on a menu if an item is spicy …
She scoffed at me.
I then said, «I wouldn’t have served them to my kids anyways because the meat on the sandwiches was bad.»
She rolled her eyes as though I was lying.
I told her, «The meat on your sub sandwiches was GREY. Not fresh. There’s NO doubt about it, I have pictures.»
I reached for my phone to unveil the evidence and stated
«You know, this is completely ridiculous and I cannot believe that this is how you choose to do business.»
With that, she said,
«You know what…» and angrily opened the register…
«Here’s your $ 15!»
It’s been a while since I’ve had to deal with customer service THAT bad.
I will never go back.
I hate to trash a local family run business, but when you’re a deliberate, non-​sensical asshole to your customers… This is what happens.

Food is good. The staff is great.

this is my goto lunch spot. the staff is fantastic. I love the local presence and home like feel. I haven’t tried many items on the menu because I love 3 of the sandwiches so much, I stay on a constant rotation for those 3…
chicken wing
chiefs dog
fried chicken and bacon

We’re new to the area and tried this place yesterday and fell in love. This is going to be our new «go to» place. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was amazing. The portions are fantastic and the staff was super nice. Definitely worth checking out. Extra bonus: free delivery

Discovered this place in early April (2015) when looking for lunch places in Cary. Visited a couple of times, typically ordering a cold roast beef sandwich with desired fixings, etc. Good sandwich at a fair price — better than the chains; it’s a local family run place.
But what was really great was my most recent experience. I was busy at work and thought it best to order in, so I decided to call BBCD and ask for delivery. I called around 11:30AM, figuring that as long as my meal came before 1PM, I’d be fine with that. So I place my order (which typically includes a pound of potato salad which I spread over a couple of lunches), and am told it will be around 45 minutes… so 12:15 or so — great! Well, about 20 minutes or so later, one of the BBCD people is walking into my office with my order. If Jimmy John’s think they have «freaky fast delivery», then this place’s delivery is freaky cubed!
Always great to find a new place with great food, good service and a pleasant staff — BBCD is just that.

I love the corned beef here (I order it with no swiss, easy mustard). Although the prices are higher than other fast food joints, I feel like this place is a nice treat once in a while. My only gripe is that when my kids order grilled cheese, it comes out greasy and soft. Someone should teach them how to use a skillet instead of the old Quiznos «sandwich-​toaster» that came with the store…

Breaking Bread is a great place! The staff was very friendly and gave me a couple of great menu recommendations. I had the cheddar melt, which was delicious, and a side order of freshly made potato chips with dill sauce. Everything was fresh and the bread was fantastic. I will definitely be back.

Best sandwich in Cary, hands down. Always hot and fresh, good variety, large menu. Soups are great as well. The place is usually pretty busy and full of energy, this is one of my wife and I favorite lunch spots.

Breaking Bread is a locally owned, family owned sandwich shop in Cary.
This is a great stop for an afternoon meal that is different from the chain places that surround it. They offer a wide range of sandwiches, burgers, and dogs as well as soups.
Their location is not exciting and you can easily drive by without noticing it, however, the interior is welcoming and has a nice vibe. They really need to add a menu board. A first timer would be quite confused and may feel awkward upon entering just because you are not sure what to do as evidenced by the stack of discarded, printed menus on the counter during lunch time. The small printed menus are really the only way to know what to choose from which is odd.
The food is worth the confusion.
The sandwiches are made fresh to order and the ingredients are EXCELLENT. Fresh cut meats, cheeses and veggies. Awesome Guac! The BREAD is the money maker: fresh, warm, and hearty. I highly suggest getting their «Signature Sandwiches» which are often lightly toasted. The sandwhich is large and will fill you up.
Total with chips/​drink is around $ 8-​$ 10 so it is in the Jimmy Johns/​Jersey Mikes price range for lunch but this is locally owned, fresh ingredients.
I have throughly enjoyed my meal each time I have eaten here.
Why not five stars? Their hours are pretty awful and their menu is impossible to remember and always changing. Their soups are awesome but not always available. Weirdness.
This place is much better than the chains that surround it and I highly encourage you to give it a shot and support a local business! YUM!

Great employees who were very enthusiastic and friendly. The sandwiches were very tasty and the ingredients were of excellent quality. I will be back becuase there were a lot of other items that I can’t wait to try…

I work in the area and the strip mall BB is in and the fast food restaurants that are in front of it are usually my main area to grab lunch so I was happy to see a new place open up.
Service: The service was good and the staff was friendly.
Environment: Cute little sandwich shop. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable.
Food: Here is where I had a problem. So far I have only tried 2 things on 2 separate occasions so to be fair their other sandwiches could be much better and I picked the 2 that they are not too great at making.
First Time I went here I tried the Corned Beef sandwich and was rather disappointed. The quality of the meat and bread was good but there was far more bread than meat, and that is not how it should be with a Corned beef. They use very thick cut marble rye and then put the tiniest portion of corned beef between them. Not worth the money I paid for the sandwich.
Second time I got the Italian Beef with Mozzarella and it was decent, and this time the amount of meat in the sandwich was a fair amount. However I have to say considering Portillo’s is only a 5 minute drive up the road they have some hefty competition when I want an Italian Beef.

I only write reviews when something is really good or really bad. In this case… really good. Fantastic, actually. I noticed a new deli in Cary a couple of weeks ago and have been meaning to stop in ever since. I am so glad I finally did. When we walked in every seat was filled. That was our first indication that this place must be good. The staff is super friendly and helpful and will help you order if you don’t know what to get. My fiancé and I ordered the works. We each had a sandwich, chips, drink and soup. I had the Turkey Club (amazing) and he had the Chicken Wing sandwich (looked incredible). We also had the Wisconsin Cheddar soup which my fiancé hasn’t stopped talking about since we left. DEFINITELY TRY BREAKING BREAD. I plan on becoming a regular.
