Bottles & bites

There is a new sandwich spot in the neighborhood and I was excited to finally try it out. I went during lunch when it was busy and ordered the Eat Aliano and Al’s Special. I think there might have been a mix up, since the sandwich I received had avocado and did not seem to match the Eat Aliano. Both sandwiches were a bit light on the meat and not as toasty as I had hoped, even though I asked for them toasted. They were also a little messy in how they were put together. What stood out to me the most though was the food handling. The person making sandwiches kept their gloves on when moving to the register and touching the card machine. While I was relieved no one paid with cash at that moment, it still felt unsanitary and took away from my experience. I really wanted to love this place since it is new to the neighborhood, but overall it left me a little underwhelmed. Hopefully with time they will smooth out these details, because the menu has potential.

I just went and got a sandwich. The man was friendly but made my sandwich with his bare hands. Digging out the turkey, touching all the toppings with his bare hands. When I asked him if he should be wearing gloves he said they don't have gloves that fit his hands. I smiled and bought the sandwich but im sorry I can't eat this. After making the sandwich he proceeded to touch the register and things. He said he washed his hands but this just feels unsanitary.. and all the toppings lettuce, pickles, onions he just dug his hands it. Im repulsed. Wasted of 13 dollars:(

The person making my food was on the phone the entire time, using the same gloves to make my food and touching his phone constantly. He also put his phone on the chopping board while making my sandwich. This shop needs to learn basic food hygiene.

Gave the breakfast sandwich two tries, but it was a waste of money both times! The egg was weirdly thin, and so was the bagel itself. Star Bagels (on Polk) and Newkirk (in Potrero) have way more authentic NYC style breakfast sandwiches. Go there instead!

The Healthy Choice breakfast burrito was delicious! They didn't skimp on the lox either. Friendly staff. I'll be back!

Good sandwhich. My dog wanted some. 🐶

My boyfriend and I were in the area looking for food on a Tuesday afternoon. We looked inside and was immediately greeted by the workers. The place was very clean and organized. They provided great service and had a lot of sandwich options alongside snacks and drinks! We got the Al's Special and Eat-aliano. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The workers were very kind and polite. The store just opened two days ago. Let's put these guys on the map!

This new neighborhood spot across the street is opening very soon! I stopped by and chatted with the owners as they were setting things up, and they were super nice. It sounds like it will be a NYC-style bodega with convenience store items, as well as coffee and sandwiches. Everything looks beautiful and clean inside. Looking forward to trying out their sandos! B eautifil space feels warm I ntended to be a NY-style bodega T he owners were super nice E xtensive coffee/smoothie/sando selection S andwiches for feee on 7/14

$20 for a chopped cheese is robbery! Especially when the price was not displayed. The sando was mid. There's a bunch a local delis at a fraction of the price that taste better. I give this place 1-2 years max on this corner.

This is the best chopped cheese I ever had you must try this new place in the neighborhood! The service was amazing and also fast ,definitely coming back to try more !

A great addition to the neighborhood. I had the California and added bacon. The bread is fresh, the bodega is super clean and it was an overall great experience. Will definitely be coming back for the chopped cheese next.
