I order breakfast here very frequently, the sandwiches are delicious and my order is ready and waiting for me, thanks to their text to order feature . The staff is always welcoming and friendly.

I call in my order so I wouldn't have to wait and be on time for my appointment and I'm told I'll see you shortly. Once I arrive I'm told phone call order are 30 minutes wait time. Are you freaking kidding me. Over priced food. All I can say is never again ? failed

The food is mediocre at best. Order was completely wrong. The food was over priced. I could tell who ever made the salad has never made one in their life. Salad with extra chicken salad was literally a bowl of leave. Don’t waste your money.

Used to be a loyal customer. But lately portion sizes have gone down, prices have gone up, and service is tremendously lacking. We tried to order 2 breakfast sandwiches and after over an hour of waiting we had to cancel our order. Not sure what's going on here but if you don't want to waste a Sunday morning waiting for BEC maybe order elsewhere

Not the type to make a scene or anything so I’ll leave a review with GRACE. I always order from this deli. Everytime I order the prices change, it increases. A small Home fries goes from 2.99 to 4.00 in the matter of 24hrs or I guess however they feel like charging that day. They messed up one of my orders and got an attitude. I asked for syrup on the side & I usually get syrup with no charge . All of a sudden I’m getting taxed for syrup. The customer service was horrible. What a way to start someone’s morning off. Smh

I only come here for breakfast but I love their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches! The staff are usually so kind to me and helpful.I also LOVE their blueberry muffins. I’m moving soon and wonder how likely they’d be to share their recipe if I asked nicely LOL

I’ll take one crumb muffin hold the attitude This deli usually rocks! They offer a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, wraps, cakes, and muffins. The staff is generally very helpful and efficient even during busy times. However, today was an exception.I had a tough time placing a simple order for a crumb muffin with the Asian gentleman at the counter due to language barriers. It seemed like he would be better suited working behind the scenes rather than facing English-speaking customers directly.Despite my repeated attempts to clarify my order for the crumb muffin, there was confusion over whether I wanted "crumb" or "corn." Eventually, after some back-and-forth pointing between different types of muffins and minor misunderstandings about cutting it into four pieces as requested earlier on another item - which he mistakenly took - I received my order with visible frustration from him.It's disappointing that one negative experience can overshadow what is typically considered a four or five-star establishment in terms of quality food and service. Today's encounter felt like an unnecessary battle over something as simple as ordering a muffin

The food sucks and is overpriced. They burn bagels and rolls like it's nobody's business. I don't bother to go there anymore.
