I've had plenty of good experiences with Borracchini's, and plenty of not-so-good ones. Their bakery and deli stuff is for the most part incredibly cheap, and some of it is really surprisingly good given the low price. The various breads are tasty, the blueberry muffins are yummy, and an eggplant panini or a mozzarella and tomato sandwich will make a great lunch for $3 or less. However, the chocolate ganache cake I once bought there was inedible! It tasted of some sort of chemical, I couldn't tell what it was, but definitely not something that belonged in a chocolate cake! Also, the fruit topping they use for danishes and lattice pies is about 80% starch, 10% sugar, and 10% food coloring. I couldn't find a trace of any kind of fruit or berries. Yuck! I haven't had much luck with their soups either... Eventually, I managed to identify the good stuff at Borracchini's and learned what to avoid. It may take some time, however, and not everyone will be willing to give them a second chance if their first experience is a bad one.
