I would have given zero stars if I could. I have had better food on economy airlines than what is served at this deli. As an employee of Harborview I really wanted this deli to be better, as its a bit of a food desert near HMC. However, it's simply not worth your time or money.

Vibes immaculate. I’m here 1-2 times a week. Delicious food. Unmatched snack and drink selection. Every single time I come in I’m greeted by the biggest smiles ever from Jeff and Peter.

Love it here! It’s a simple stop and shop with a great selection of food. From teriyaki, noodles, rice, to club sandwiches and a huge drink menu. Also, the staff are all super friendly. Great spot for a quick bite to eat. They also have half off the leftover food from their hot bar after 2:30 and they are dog friendly!

Being near Harborview Medical Center, I wanted to try a new place.
I returned my sandwich because they tried to pass off america sliced processed cheese food in place of cheddar. My sister said her sandwich did not taste like Boars Head Brand meat, nor was it cheddar cheese as advertised.
I got a refund.
I'll never go back, I'd rather eat at the hospital.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars for service! The store is great, the food awesome, but the staff are amazing. Especially Peter, the owner. No matter what kind of day you're having, Peter's energy and positivity will lift you up. I work in the same building and I'm there almost daily for lunch, snacks, etc. Peter is almost always mid-conversation with someone and seems to know almost everyone personally. We're lucky to have him and the store he runs so tirelessly as an anchor in the community.

This is a great place for both groceries and a quick bite to eat! You can find basic grocery needs for a great price, and their food/ coffee is spectacular. I’m a big fan of their Cascade Rancher sandwich, or the Katsu curry!

Everyone on the staff are incredibly friendly, and super helpful. Cannot recommend them enough 🤩

Peter and his team are fantastic! They are always friendly and uplifting. Great food and coffee! The prices are really affordable, and a great selection of products.

its a great quick grocery store as well as good coffee and sandwiches. Ez makes the best Italian

The staff are always extremely professional and warm. The coffee is usually solid, and so is the hot food (minus the lox which came on an untoasted bagel). They also sell alcohol and other corner store staples. There is small seating inside for a quick bite. Everything in the drink cooler is overly sugary, but besides that I usually leave satisfied.

The staff and owners here are super friendly and welcoming every time I stop in. They always have a smile and cheerful attitude. I've never been to a convenience store like this one. They really cater to their customers. The store is very clean and I appreciate the tables to sit at and eat my fresh made to order food. The atmosphere is fun with the upbeat music they play. This store also carries items that are hard to find from other countries, which is cool to try out. Best convenience store where I've become a regular!!

They do good breakfast burritos and interestingly superior Japanese and Korean versions of our American sodas

Awesome place! The staff is so kind and helpful. The coffee is delicious and the food is as well. 10/10 recommend if you’re in need of a quick bite or drink, you won’t regret it :) they also have a great selection of drinks and snacks from all over. Very clean inside as well
