Periwinkles Food Shoppe

We wanted to order food for a couple of stylist at the shop… BIG mistake… I ordered the corn beef sandwich..it was a disgusting pile of slop in between two oversized soggy pieces of bread you literally couldn’t even eat it. And then the other two people that got sandwiches were worse. I’m not even gonna go into that. I’m gonna Speak on my own experience I wouldn’t send an enemy there. I don’t How they’ve stayed open so long I’m still sick Just thinking about it , as I write this.

I really wanted to like this place. Gave them a second chance after my first visit where I got a tuna sandwich that made me feel sick after. The second visit I got the eggplant sandwich. the eggplant was cold so had to return it for them to heat it up. the bread wasn't even toasted. imagine an overly salty undercooked eggplant on untoasted white bread... not only that but they are very wasteful. everything is given on places and cups that are to go, even if you dine in. I thought Salem had better zero waste policies, but I guess I was mistaken. I know it's a zone without great food options, but I still have trouble understanding the high review.

Very delicious bagels, bagel sandwiches, and scones. Had the Iced Tea and an Iced Coffee (forgot tot request sugar so make sure you do if you like it sweet)! Great stop for breakfast.

Used to be a warm, friendly, welcoming place. Lately, it's been nothing but rude and obnoxious behavior from staff (long-time staff, I might add). Will not be going back.

What an amazing find! I'm beyond happy with my Reuben sandwich (saving half for later) and the red bliss is a keeper in my book. Can't wait for the clam chowder for dinner
