Tried this little dive of a "deli" while visiting family. I don't recommend it. Incredibly few options, only bread options were white or wheat. No side options available for your sandwich other than potato chips. No seating, we had to go and look for a bench on the sidewalk to eat. Next time we're in town, we'll walk farther down the road for better food options.

Best damn steak and cheese iv ever had. The tomato tasted hand picked, the cheese nd meat served is name brand boars head and tastes absolutely amazing. Melts in my mouth with sweet savor for minutes. Got chips and drink with it for 6.99 on Tuesday. Stores a little unorganized but for how small it is they will hve just about any snck youre craving. Ate here for lunch again today. Will be back tommorow too.

I was so put off by the proprietor's demeanor, I left within a minute of entering. After a somewhat abrasive hello, she stood on the other side of the counter, a few feet from me and practically mean mugged me as I surveyed the snacks for something I wanted. I mean ... at least ask if I need help if you're gonna give THAT kind of attention. After all that, didn't even say goodbye as left without my appetite (but definitely with all my money). Unbelievable how rude someone can be without saying a word. Wish I could give 0 stars. Imagine location is the only thing keeping this shop on business.

Saving you from a 3 star rating. Welcome!

So a simple lettuce, tomato, mayo and cheese is $5.49? Kind of expensive if a turkey sandwich cost less.

I cannot say enough good things about Karin's Cafe. I LOVE their BLT sandwiches; they're the best I've ever had!! What impresses me the most though is their obvious pride in their work and the food that they prepare. I do not know her name, but the woman who makes the sandwiches does so very carefully, piece by piece. It's the little things that make a difference...for example, she hand selects each lettuce leaf, makes sure that they're bright and crisp and fresh, and even shakes any moisture off the leaves and/or blots them on a paper towel so your sandwich isn't soggy. She then wraps each sandwich so neatly and carefully, and they always look great and taste amazing. I always place the same order, so when they see my phone number they now just ask how many sandwiches I need that day and they already know exactly how I want them "BLT on toasted whole wheat with extra mayonnaise". Customer service like that is hard to find these days and really does make you feel good. Both ladies always smile when they see me and ask how I'm doing. If I don't order for a while, the next time I come in they ask if I am o.k., if I was on vacation, etc., and are so sweet. I enjoy supporting a small business like Karin's rather than a huge corporate conglomerate that ships in pre-packaged food or poor quality ingredients or that has employees who don't really care and just slap something together. Karin's is just the opposite. The food at Karin's is always fantastic, the ladies are wonderful, and the prices are affordable!

Their BLT's are amazing!! Cheap prices, in such an expensive area. Eat lunch here regularly.

Like the place! I only get the chicken+rice dish and rarely get a made sandwich or else. They are friendly people

***Warning***If I could give this place NEGATIVE STARS, I would, HAZARD TO YOUR HEALTHMy gf ate here around noon for her first meal of the day on a Saturday morning two weeks ago. Thank goodness I got nothing but hours later she started to complain of nausea. Symptoms balloned and continued. It is now two weeks later, Sunday the second of March, and she is STILL throwing up, diarrhea, severe stomache cramps and unable to eat. We have gone to the doctors three times. The last time, they are still stumped (three saw her last night) but they believe it could be a parasite from eating contaminated food. Who knows how long that food stays out in the heat lamps **BUT** I would not risk it. There is a reason the food is priced cheaply, the ingredigents are incredibly cheap qualitly (she said the sandwich did not quite taste right but figured it was just cheap qualitly). I will call food safety, such very poor qualitly food needs to be investigated.***Warning, Hazard to your health, could be dangerous to eat***
