This place is great!! I’ve passed it a few times coming from the gym but decided it was time to stop by and I’m so glad I did! The staff is amazing and so friendly and gave great recommendations. They were patient as we decided and even welcomed us in with a great smile. I’m excited to go back and try more things!( we got the pb&j along with the Caribbean along with a side of coleslaw per tge recommendation given by the staff)

My bf and I shared a New Yorker sandwhich and the California salad. The sandwich was loaded with tender, delicious meat stacked high. The salad had fresh sliced cheese, meat, and veggies on top as well as a delicious orange vinegarette. We devoured both within minutes. Definitely check this place out!.

The guy at the counter was smiling the whole time and made us feel welcomed. Cool little deli. The food was exceptionally better than I thought it would be as well as the serving size. One New Yorker and one California salad for two was perfect. 3pm had one table left luckily. 10/10 recommend.

On 6/15/2026 Paul W. had this to say:
Can't recommend this place enough! Sandwiches are fresh and great, come out quick regardless of how busy it is. The five stars come from the service which is fantastic. The guy taking your order is extremely nice and very personable. If you work near the landings this is a great spot to have lunch.
