BEST BREAKFAST UPTOWN!I have my pastrami sandwich and bagels for breakfast and this corner is the best quality/price option around this neighborhood.They have so many options to go for (even mixing your preferred ingredients for your dream sandwich) that you can rarely run out of options to eat.The employees are very kind and the food is fresh and served very hot.

I was looking for the perfect bite before my 12 hour endurance at time square for new year’s ball drop. I liked the atmosphere of this place and ordered the Philly cheese steak, the meat tasted like McDonalds burger meat, so i thought it was alright, but things took a downward turn hours later. Waiting in line i developed extreme stomach pain and i became very nauseous ( it’s the only thing i ate ). Finally i didn’t feel any better until i purged the Philly cheese steak in the middle of Times Square. Thanks…

Depending on the time you arrive, it's packed wall-to-wall. A bit pricey, but no complaints based on freshness and

Count your change here. I bought a coffee for $1.75, paid with a $10 bill, and was given back $8. I asked about the missing quarter and the man said the coffee was actually $2 because of tax. Excuse me but the tax on a $1.75 item is not 25 cents. This issue is not about the money but about honesty. I was going to be late for an appointment so i didn't have time to push it. Just watch your change at this deli.

I ordered a pastrami and cheese wrap and a soda. The total was around $14. The food was good and the setup was like a deli/convenience store with cafe tables and chairs.

Ahmed the owner and his sons Amr and Omar work hard. Nothing fancy about this place. If your visiting the area Plant Shed/ Milk might be cool and nice but there prices are not.Wheelchair accessibility: It has a ramp

Nice deli on Columbus and 86th. Super clean, friendly and they make a great egg on a roll! Plenty of choices and a nice selection of sandwiches and salads. Good fresh made coffee.A few tables inside so you can grab breakfast and eat inside.

Cool people cool place, atmosphere is classic midtown, perfect vibe, low prices, real. Can't go wrong if you're looking for a casual bite and an authentic NYC experience on a low budget to boot. Also, Panini sandwiches were outstanding.

Great opportunity for a quick breakfast. I had a bagel with egg inside. Was very good. The place has character and is family run. Staff is the best.You can also order then find a coffee shop nearby if you require a more eclectic caffeine fix.

As the sign on the front says: Panini, Wraps, Toss Salad, Muffin, Bagels, FREE DELIVERY. Quaint little café that makes you feel like you're in "You've Got Mail"! If you're looking for a delicious deli sandwich, this is a great stop! ?There's Breakfast Specials, Lunch Specials, and a Coffee Bar. We went for our first night in Manhattan to grab a late, but quick bite to go get settled back in our hotel. For a fam of 4, we enjoyed sharing 2 deli sandwiches, 1 Halal Food (Lamb over Rice), and 1 tossed salad.Friendly staff. One employee forgot our order, but was very kind and apologetic, so we didn't feel too inconvenienced.

Great little cafe. Food, sandwiches , coffee!, they have it all. Love stopping in here

Surprisingly quick, decent coffee, yummy sandwiches. You can definitely sit inside, or outside on the two benches. It’s a neighborhood, “You’ve Got Mail” feel. It’s a local spot but it’s clean and fast. Definitely will be back.
