Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Princeton NJ

I saw a new sub shop in the shopping center and decided to try it out. I got a chicken cheesesteak with hot peppers, BBQ sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes, it was flavorful and delicious. The staff was great, and the atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommend!

Small portions, slow service and poor quality for the price

Ordered turkey sandwich and wagyu French dip. Both were small portions, dry, and lacked lots of flavor even dipping the one in the sauce. They were in my opinion overpriced, and not high quality like you’d expect from a “gourmet” sub shop even if it is a chain. The turkey also had a bone in it.

We decided to stop in for some sandwiches after picking up our little girl some cat food from the same plaza. What a great treat this is. The sandwiches are delicious as well as the tomato bisques. The service was great too felt like family!!

I can’t comment on the atmosphere but my office ordered lunch from here and it was so delicious. Some had salads, some had sandwiches but everyone loved their lunch. I had the capastromi and it was delicious! This will definitely be on our company’s lunch list!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop in Princeton, and I can confidently say it’s a fantastic addition to the local dining scene. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a great experience. The staff here truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Special shoutout to Jimit Dharia, who did an excellent job ensuring our order was handled perfectly, and Reginald Jackson, whose friendly and professional service made our visit even more enjoyable. It’s clear that the team takes pride in what they do, and that level of care really shines through.

The food at Capriotti’s is what makes this place stand out. The menu is diverse, offering something for everyone, from classic subs to unique creations you won’t find anywhere else. I tried their signature sandwich, The Bobbie®, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Featuring slow-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo on freshly baked bread, it’s like Thanksgiving dinner in sandwich form—comforting, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Every ingredient tasted fresh and high-quality, which is something I always appreciate in a sandwich shop.

Another standout was their Wagyu Cheese Steak, a luxurious twist on the classic cheesesteak. The tender Wagyu beef paired with melted cheese on an Amoroso roll was rich and indulgent without feeling overly heavy. For vegetarians or those looking for plant-based options, the Impossible™ Cheese Steak is a fantastic alternative that doesn’t compromise on flavor or texture. It’s great to see Capriotti’s offering options that cater to different dietary preferences without cutting corners on taste.

What impressed me most about Capriotti’s was the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal. The bread was soft yet sturdy enough to hold up against hearty fillings without falling apart—a small but important detail that shows their commitment to quality. The portions are generous as well; you definitely get your money’s worth here.

Speaking of pricing, while some might find it slightly higher than your average sandwich shop (a meal typically costs $15-$17), I believe it’s justified given the premium ingredients and portion sizes. You’re not just paying for convenience—you’re paying for a thoughtfully crafted meal that feels like it was made with care.

The ambiance of the shop is another highlight. Located in the Princeton Shopping Center, Capriotti’s offers a clean, modern, and inviting space that’s perfect for both quick lunches and casual dinners with family or friends. While it operates as a fast-casual restaurant, there’s a sense of pride and professionalism here that elevates the experience beyond what you’d expect from a typical sandwich spot.

If I had one small critique, it would be that during peak hours there can be a bit of a wait since everything is made fresh to order. However, I’d much rather wait a few extra minutes for food of this quality than settle for something rushed or pre-made.

Overall, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop in Princeton is an excellent choice if you’re looking for fresh, flavorful sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re craving something classic like a turkey sub or looking to try one of their more unique creations like The Bobbie®, you won’t be disappointed. The combination of great food, friendly service from people like Jimit Dharia and Reginald Jackson, and a welcoming atmosphere makes this place stand out from other sandwich shops in the area.

**Pro Tip:** If you’re visiting for the first time, definitely try The Bobbie®—it’s their signature item for good reason! Also, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations; they’re knowledgeable about the menu and happy to help you find something you’ll love. Arrive early if possible—it can get busy during peak hours!

Probably the best cheesesteak of my life and I went to graduate school in Philly. It was seasonly beautiful and even had some black pepper in there. The mushrooms were unctuous and fresh. My partner loved the turkey sandwich. My daughter loved her grilled cheese. This was very affordable as well and perfectly executed. It was a wait but I think they are newer and still trying to figure it out. The manager was very attentive and even pitched in to help move things along. The coleslaw was also very tasty. 5 stars all the way across.

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop in Princeton is a fantastic addition to the area! We visited for lunch with our family, and everything—from the food to the service—was exceptional.

We ordered the Chipotle Chicken Crunch, Wagyu Beef Sandwich, and fries, and each bite was absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The Chipotle Chicken Crunch had the perfect balance of spice and crunch, while the Wagyu Beef Sandwich was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, making for the perfect side.

The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual yet high-quality meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured we had a great dining experience. You can tell they take pride in their food and service.

If you're in Princeton and looking for a top-notch sandwich spot, Capriotti’s is a must-visit! We’ll definitely be back for more.

Really like this new addition to our community. The subs are flavorful! The Italian packs a punch in a good way - if you like spice. My entire family enjoyed their subs. Also like the fries - thin slices that are very tasty. The owners are super friendly and we truly hope they succeed here!
