Snappy’s Opened on SE Ankeny | Eater Portland

"I found a quick, small deli rocking '90s bodega vibes that opened Sunday, January 26 on SE Ankeny between Marukin and Nong’s Khao Man Gai. Snappy’s, from co-owners Matt Lynch (Super Deluxe, Boxer Ramen) and Chris Thornton (Boxer Ramen), serves old-school hot and cold sandwiches with upscale ingredients for under $10 — highlights include an egg salad sandwich with radishes, olives, and butter lettuce; a tuna melt with potato chips; a hot veg supreme with roasted vegetables, kale, and artichoke-olive spread; and a spicy sausage marinara with breaded sausage, red sauce, cheese, and basil — baguettes come from the tiny Vietnamese bakery An Xuyên and sourdough from Portland French Bakery. The tiny 150-square-foot space is packed with retro touches (a milk crate ceiling, peg board walls, and a TV/VCR playing retro Blazers games and Mr. T specials) and has three four-top tables; Lynch expects most sandwiches to be taken to go, with call-ahead ordering and a focus on delivery (likely complimentary to the immediate area and for larger groups). Snappy’s also offers a soup of the day, curly fries, chips, cookies, and Central City coffee, and will add breakfast next week (an egg, cheese, and meat sandwich and hot buttered rolls with cream cheese and jam); current hours are 10 a.m.–8 p.m., expanding to 8 a.m.–8 p.m. for breakfast." - Alex Frane
