Sweet little spot in the most beautiful area of Leicester! Happy to have stumbled upon this place filled with local goods, genuine kindness, and really REALLy good food! I enjoyed a fresh kale+chicken+Parm+Caesar wrap w/ a side of broccoli salad. It was so good, I will be back!

Came here today for some coffee and breakfast. A little bit out-of-the-way, but tucked into the beautiful community of Lester. One person was working and answer the phone when I called to ask if they have hot coffee. No need to ask – thank you. It was delicious and local.The shop itself is small, but cozy and diverse. They really highlight a lot of local flavors and organize it well. They have everything from jams to bake goods to household items.The one worker was incredibly kind. She was the only one working and on her phone while making my sandwich. It definitely wasn’t fast but they warn you. The breakfast sandwich was a little pricey at $10 but the bacon was thick and delicious and the bread tasted fresh and local.

We showed up about 10 minutes to close tonight and were greeted with smiles , amazing staff and great little store with all of the neat local artisan bread, honey and interesting sodas . We will definitely be back and absolutely loved finding this little gem! If you haven’t had the tomato basil soup you have not lived! The food was so delicious too!!! Five stars but if I could rate 10 I would!

Food very good. Service and staff some of the friendly I have met in Leicester and Asheville. The deli is very clean and sticked with unique items. The desserts very yummy. Will return with my new punch card for future food items.

Such a nice little gem in the country of Leicester! While making pharmacy deliveries "out in the middle of nowhere," the need for a restroom lead me to this deli. Altho the sign read, "Restrooms for customers only," the owner allowed me to make the stop I needed. The owner is very personable and offered two recommendations responsible for the great aroma circulating in the air ... an aroma that was just AH-MAZ-ing ... to the point that I went out to the car and returned with my wallet! The Italian Roast Beef sandwich with a side of potato salad was DELISH! If you are ever driving thru that area, I highly recommend you take a moment to check out their menu and grab a bite to satisfy your appetite!

I cannot begin to explain how amazing this place is!!! The sandwiches are fantastic, the local products are perfect, and the staff is great. My only complaint is that I don't live closer to it. We stopped by to grab some sandwiches on our way home from a quick trip, and now I'm plotting an excuse to drive two and a half hours back. I had the caprese sandwich, and it was probably the best I've ever had. My daughter got a turkey sandwich and upon finishing it at home, asked how long it would take to drive back. And while I'm not a milk drinker normally, the Amish milk was delicious! I can't wait to be in that vicinity again, as I will definitely be stopping, even if its out of my way.
