This place is the ish! Right? Anyone?
Anyway, cool little spot. Friendly behind the counter. Great food selection. We got the Pastrami, carolina hotdog, and banana canoli. SO good. No notes. Go and enjoy the food and atmosphere!

I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. It’s clean, it’s fast, and it’s delicious. The service is friendly and patient. And the ordering is very straight forward. When I first visited I was a little confused but that’s just because I’ve never been to a place like this. I do find it kind of funny that it’s in the same building as a pharmacy and nothing really disconnects the two. But I personally feel like that adds something to it. Whether that’s a sense of community or something else, whatever it is it’s nice. The food itself is amazing. I’ve had no complaints and have ate here more than 5 times at this point. Overall, I would definitely recommend eating and checking this place out. 5 stars from me and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.

Finally stopped in today and tried the Babagan(ish) sandwich and a banana pudding cannoli- both are absolutely fantastic! I will have to come back to try the squash soup. Everything on the menu sounded great, breakfast all day, and really great prices for what you get. Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff!

What a great spot! Their sandwich creations are well thought out and delicious. We had the Italian sub, eggplant and halloumi, and the Nassau County (my pick which I reluctantly shared – but just a bite). The burnt ends potato salad is a tasty spin on traditional potato salad and will be ordered every visit. Friendly service, street parking was a snap.

We got the Reuben with pastrami and smoked fish sandwich.
I enjoyed the Reuben, I thought it had a good flavor with purple cabbage adding the bit of sour tang to keep the dish from being too heavy. I do prefer softer, more cooked pastrami, but this was still very good.
We also had the smoked fish sandwich. It’s a very salty fish forward type of sandwich. While it wasn’t my personal favorite, I appreciated how balanced the taste was and even though I initially didn’t think I liked it, I kept coming back for another bite!!
This is a great place for a quick lunch! I’m glad I went with a friend so I could split the sandwich and switch up the flavors! I would definitely come back!

Cute little cafe. Chicken salad is outstanding and unique. Relaxed atmosphere. I got the bluefin melt with a to-go order of chicken salad, squash soup, and a bottle of (delicious) Spanish white wine. The squash soup was okay-ish, but everything else was wonderful! I look forward to trying more of the menu. I’ll definitely be back.

Tasty little deli! Definitely recommend it for solo folks to small groups looking for a hot, fast meal! When it first opened I wasn’t impressed. But they have definitely found their stride and strengths. Highly recommend the Reuben – it’s meat-heavy without being too much, and has a balanced amount of dressing. The potato salad was a great side, as was the Dutch Fork squash soup (I believe this was a special).
Because it’s small and shares the building with a pharmacy, it can get crowded quickly at peak lunchtime. Don’t let this deter you, but be sure to plan around this and Oakwood/DTR parking restrictions.

Amazing food, came out reasonably fast considering it was lunch time and they were busy. Really friendly owners! Will come back!

Some of the best sandwiches I’ve had in the country. They also have sandwiches that are more creative than you’re typical deli and they’re all done very well.
