I discovered this place by word of mouth, my co-workers were always getting their lunch from here and the food always looked sooo GOOD. I honestly was skeptical because MOST deli food doesn't usually look that tasty and if it does look tasty that doesn't mean it also actually taste good.
This shop is literally right next to the Chauncey St. Station and it's a little tight inside so keep that in mind.
Anyway, I came on my lunch and was very hesitant to order because I was afraid I wouldn't like it and then be left to starve until I went home for the day. BUT after reading over the entire menu like three ridiculous times, I decided on the Popeye burrito with vegan cheese. And no they don't charge extra to substitute regular cheese for vegan cheese
Btw this is a proclaimed health food store, so they have many options for different diets and preferences. They also have a lot of cool and healthy snacks. What I think is really neat is you can make your own smoothie and they have dairy free milk along with other alternatives to milk, aOh and they are halal.
Back to the burrito; it was freaking amazing. It did take them about 20 minutes to make it (I realize this place gets very busy at times, therefore I've only waited 20 mins once) but while I stood there waiting I spoke to the cashier who was absolutely wonderful. The staff here are very helpful and this particular employee was so friendly and sweet, and I noticed they treat everyone like this that comes through the door. I will admit I see the staff taking their masks off sometimes . But the employees who make the food have one on while they take my order.
I did try one of the smoothies but I didn't like it, my coworkers swear that I need to give the smoothies another chance though. I'm def gonna be back for the food, and I'll consider trying another smoothie.
