SOOOO YUMMY !! We love this little spot - the kitchen staff/chefs are so friendly and they have a talent for making a rad sandwich and bagel! They really fill it up and make it worth your $$. There’s some cute seating upstairs - it’s not 5 star seating but it’s perfect for the vibe of the place. We will be back for sure

Great for breakfast It's cooked fresh in front of you and the guy cooking it is fast and friendly. You can take away or eat in upstairs. Tastey and cheap enough.

Old school cafeteria/deli with tons of options, strong coffee , fast service, greasy bagels and a rough around the edges seating area that I loved. And they have a bathroom! I hope places like this one will never close, I’ll be there every time I’m in town

Old school vibe where it’s a deli and a quick convenient store all thrown into one. Was looking for a quick sandwich with bacon and eggs, and they have one on the menu looking almost to what I was looking for. They also have cheese and hashbrown as well. They call it the NY breakfast sandwich. Ordered two, and it was da bomb! Perfect amount of grease with two eggs, two cheese slices, bacon and a deep fried hashbrown. Your taste bud will thank you as you go through each layer of flavor. It was delicious. I am definitely coming back. Did I mention it was quick and friendly? Love it.

The store does not look inviting but the food was good. We got the Tuna Panini and the Chicken, pesto Panini, green grapes, some drinks, fruit and chips to feed three people and paid about $50. The grapes were so good. Heard from a loyal customer their breakfast to order to go is amazing. Am a returning customer for sure.

This place looks a little sketchy at first, but the looks are very much deceiving. This cafe is an excellent spot for cheap, delicious food by Time Square and Broadway. It functions as both a convenience store and a made to order cafe. They have plenty of snacks, sandwiches, salads, hot meals, and more. I ordered the $12.99 chicken teriyaki, and it tasted delicious. The portion was very large and they certainly were not cheap on providing a lot of chicken. I was very impressed by this meal. The interior of the building needs a bit of updating because it looks like a shady convenience store, but I assure you this place is better than it looks. If you’re looking for a good, cheap bite to eat near Times Square, I highly recommend this place.

The best sandwiches super friendly staff who are so pocket and welcoming. The sandwiches are jam packed and they don’t skimp on the ingredients, when so many other places do. There is seating upstairs and a standing bar downstairs for those in a rush like we were today. It’s very close to lots of the Broadway theatres so a good pick if you need some lunch or dinner before a show. It’s definitely like a sandwich bar/deli so know that when you see it - we hope we can come back soon !
