Such kind and wonderful people who work here. They really are part of the fabric of the neighborhood. Of course, there are a dozen other little bodegas near here, but the difference is always in the service and the food. Came to NYC to visit family, they recommended us to try this place. All of the food was good. Had breakfast, lunch sandwiches and dinner stuff from here over the week. By the second day, they knew us and would greet us like old friends in the neighborhood. No wonder our family here love this place. When we got sandwiches here, they even included a piece of bacon wrapped in foil to bring to the family's dog as they just love her too. How kind is that? Order your food from the guys behind the deli counter and then they will bring it to the front counter to be rung up. Can't say enough about how wonderful the food and the staff are here. Iced coffee here is on-point too. I hope that you give this terrific place a try. Well worth it. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

If I can give this place 10 stars I would. Great sandwiches and customizations. Tonight I had a really bad day and was craving this place. The seamless menu didn't have their regular in store custom choices so I provided all my details in a comment. Boy did they deliver!!" And get it right!! Not only that, told them I had a bad day and they gave me something special. Bless you and thank you Love this place!!!

I've come to like this deli spot even more. Will drop in for a wrap sandwich and they offer a varied selection. Nice people who work here too. A few tables on the sidewalk if the weather is nice to sit and relax.

Can't beat this deli. Very nice deli employees and check out at the register. Food is prepared per your preference and it quickly served. Can't beat the price for a Grilled Cheese and Bacon at $6.52 with tax. Didn't skimp on cheese or bacon and they have rye bread, white, whole wheat and multi grain. I'm highly recommending just like I did in my first review.

Just a tip: cheaper to order over the phone or in-person than Perk Chops. Perk Chops menu is pricier.

A large menu with pretty much everything you can think off. A big section devoted to avocado sandwiches too. Unfortunately, the chicken cutlet sandwich we ordered left much to be desired. The people ahead of us got a mango smoothie- which looked amazing.

Got chipotle chicken sandwich and falafel sandwich for $7 and they were both so delicious! Fast service and they both had such great flavor. Really enjoy the crispy on the outside and soft inside falafels mixed up with other things so it was a good mixture of everything in a mouthful (not just dry falafel). The white sauce went really well with it and the hot sauce def had a kick. Gonna try the other sandwiches! I may have also been really hungry when I ate the sandwiches.

I need to update as I stopped by today. They are as sweet as ever. The cleanest spot. The kindest staff. The Covid friendliest. And today for the first time in my life I tried Colombian coffee. I heard it was stronger than normal coffee but leaves you without the anxiety and jitters the heavy stuff does. And they would be right. I need energy but caffeine makes me paranoid. So I keep experimenting with different coffees. I'm a new fan of Columbian coffee and luckily for me, I know just where to go. I recommend the small with French vanilla. They also have an assortment of home cooked and delicious deli foods, desserts, and a smoothie bar. Order for delivery or better yet, stop in, so you can experience the good vibes first hand.

I love this place. Close to home and they never disappoint. I usually order breakfast from here but have also tried the cheeseburger and Mexican panini and both are delicious. They always honor what I write in the comments and call if they are out of stock with a specific item or have questions regarding my order. 10/10

This place is great. I came here for the first time for a quick breakfast wrap. Bacon egg & cheese with a hash brown party inside. I've had this a million times but for whatever reason, this one just tastes so much better. It wasn't all mashed together. Every ingredient stood on its own. For something so simple but be done so well is appreciated. Checking out I saw they have a juice bar. Went back this afternoon to get a fresh green juice with beats. This is my new go to deli for sure. Everyone in there is super friendly and fun to chat with.

Had an egg, ham and swiss on a hard roll. Nothing special - but this store seems to have a lot to offer so that makes up for the lack of flavor and awards them at least 3 stars. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here again though.

Very clean and well stocked. I've been here several times and I'm surprised by one of the other reviews because I've never had anyone been rude to me. The food is okay an fresh only bone I have to pick is wit one of the cashiers she stuffs all the things you buy in a small bag. When I got home the sandwich became a little soggy because she has placed it under all the juices I got. I always get like 4 Snapple's ( don't judge me lol )

Don't bother. This is about the most miserable group of workers I've seen gathered in one location. They're always something between flat and straight up rude. I've been here a half dozen times, and today was the last. Counter food and coffee is average, what you'd get in any deli. The staff ruins it, every time. Convenience to my workplace is no longer justification enough.

If you asked me to review this place when they opened, I would have given it five stars. I've only seen this place gone down hill. Every time I try to order something, salad, no croutons or Parm cheese, sandwich, no grilled chicken, general things, no Red Bull, no White monster, no white claw, no popcorn, nothing. They NEVER have anything here. I don't know why I waste my time popping my head in because at this point I know I'd be lucky if they have dirt. Of the five years I've lived on the Upper East Side, this is the most massive disappointment by far. Fuck this place.

Was staying in a hotel close to this place, so stopped by to pick up a quick lunch. The sandwich I ordered ended up being incredibly dry. When I paid at the counter, the cashier was extremely terse for seemingly no reason. There's a million of these little delis in NY, one every corner. I'd go to a different one.
