I would rate the place 4,5. Price to quality ratio quite ok, we’ve had English breakfast bagel and it was tasty, nutritious and cheap. We will probably come back here again.

Have to agree with the previous reviews, food is fresh, staff is very friendly are the prices are fair. Seems like since Oct 2022 the prices have not changed so the picture of the menu (and pricing) is still up to date. Size of the sandwich I got was also good, so it is not like you will be hungry after as well. They have a small space to sit outside (covered) at the entry, inside is not the most atmospheric ever seen, the street is very busy, so would not say the place is suitable for sitting a few hours and to enjoying the weather. For quickly getting breakfast/lunch/coffee, I would say this is a very good place to go. Tried some other sandwich places in the area and this is by far the best I found.

Very cute deli with excellent service. We can recommend the Parma Salad and the wraps. The coffee is a delight as well

Great experience, extremely friendly staff. The food tasted great and was very affordable. Just make sure to come early if you would like to get a sandwich, as they can get quite busy and run out of bread.
