This is a great little combination store, cafe, and grill with a chill vibe and cool atmosphere. The iced lattes are delicious with a large array of flavors to choose from or even better mix and match. The sandwiches and burritos are prepared on the outdoor grill and are delicious and filling. I tried the pastrami burrito and it was delicious.

There is loud music playing and most of the seats are outdoors on a patio next to the grill giving the place a backyard party atmosphere - not quiet and peaceful, but festive and fun. The service is great. Everyone there is relaxed and friendly.

The pastrami bfast burrito was amazing! The tater tots do a great job of soaking up flavor, each bite is meaty and delicious. The tortilla is asmr crispy and the sauce was fire.

This place is just amazing. I order the Italian Sandwich and The Chicken Bacon Avocado and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The vegetables are very FRESH!! The meats are very good, very good quality. I will 100% keep ordering from this place, I absolutely prefer this small business to subway any day. 10/10 recommendations. 🫶🏼😁
Definitely worth supporting. 🤙🏼

As someone who was raised in El Sereno, it’s heartbreaking to witness what this business has become. We grew up knowing the original owners — they were kind, community-centered, and respectful. But ever since new ownership took over, this place has brought nothing but disappointment and shame.

On 6/11/25, this very spot hosted and served ICE agents — right in the middle of a Latino neighborhood, at a time when our people are actively suffering at the hands of these same agents. With everything going on politically, it’s deeply disheartening to see a local business turn its back on the community it claims to represent.

This isn’t just about food — which, frankly, is overpriced and lacks creativity — it’s about values. And this place no longer reflects ours.

Shame on this local Latin-owned business for serving and hosting ICE agents on 6/11/25 — right in the heart of a Latino community. It’s not just tone-deaf; it’s a betrayal, especially from a place that has shown blatant racial bias toward people of color in the past.

Supporting a business that profits off our culture while turning its back on our people isn’t just disappointing — it’s unacceptable. And let’s be honest: the food is overpriced, lacks flavor, and offers nothing new. Our communities deserve better.

It’s disappointing to see a local Latin-owned business — surrounded by and profiting from a largely Latino community — welcome and feed ICE agents on 6/11/25. Specially with everything going on right now. This is especially upsetting given their past behavior, which includes blatant racism toward people of color.

Their actions speak volumes, and the overpriced, uninspired food just doesn’t justify continued support. Please think twice before supporting a business that turns its back on the very community it claims to serve.

Love a good deli!! Great selection of sandwiches (very generously sized and reasonably priced) and friendly service. I had a simple but delicious BLT, a refreshing order of ceviche, and crispy onion rings. Delicious iced vanilla latte. I put in a big order (6 sandwiches in total as well as sides and drinks) and it was ready relatively quickly. Will definitely return.
