My favorite deli. Good, reasonably priced food. Their more expensive items are really just on par with other places’ prices. Cashier guy is super nice and Marshmallow the cat is very friendly. Immediate regular.

Been coming here since middle school. Sandwiches are fantastic and the guys behind the counter are very friendly. They recently got an espresso machine too so their coffee is top notch. Best deli in the area by far

The deli is a New York sacred space - there’s gotta be a cat, a lotto machine, and bagels & BEC’s to make it authentic. This deli has all that and the friendliest staff on this block. I go here almost every morning for breakfast and sometimes lunch. Even when it’s busy, they take their time with your order and make it right. The new coffee additions will have you skipping right over Starbucks!
