Found this gem on Google maps on a random trip to Elmsford. The sandwiches menu drew me in and I knew I’d take a while to decide but I went with the Rhode Islander - chicken cutlet, prosciutto, provolone, lettuce, tomato, oil & vinegar on a tomato basil wrap - YUM! The freshness of the lettuce, tomato, vinegar was really good with the chicken cutlet & prosciutto Look forward to trying another option when I’m back! Plenty of seating and they have a stage for live music apparently. Also got an iced coffee and was invited to stay and work a bit in their space. Very friendly place. 10/10

We’re looking for place to get some coffee and bagel while waiting our group. Discover this deli accidentally. After look at menu, we change our mind and stay. Even we already have breakfast, just can’t control to order more stuff than what we need. My brother in law order beef sandwich which looks so delicious. Unfortunately, I already share best French Toast with my sister and no more room for a bite of sandwich. We go to cemetery in Hawthorne twice a year. Just can’t wait for next time to meet that extremely friendly owner.

Solid sandwich spot. All of the staff are super friendly. Will be returning every time I get my bike serviced nearby.

Deli & Live Music. Fun place for live music and food. Staff are fantastic, the servers work their butts off.

I wish I lived around here so I could come here everyday and get to know the owners. You can tell this is a family run business where they truly care about every single customer experience and the quality of the food they put out. It’s hard to give them enough credit for how great everything is considering how busy the place is. This is one of my top 2 top 3 maybe delis I’ve ever been to. Everything I got was absolutely delicious and went with a group 3 times and nobody ever complained once all we kept saying is ok we’ll be back tomorrow for lunch. This spot is a true GEM!!!! It’s impossible to not like this place in my opinion- ginormous menu with every option you can think.

This place has ridiculously good Italian sandwiches for lunch. Creative and excellent. You feel like you’re in Italy when you’re in there. Beware the wait though. Very popular.

Very old school diner feeling, but with a vast amount of space for sitting down to eat. The food is delicious and portions are more than generous. Sandwiches are way bigger than I was expecting. we got the regular sized soups and they felt like a large. I can only imagine what the large portion size was. Coffee lovers will love the portions (the fact they were giving my girlfriend a "to-go" cup as we were paying the check was above and beyond with the service). The soups came with a massive garlic bread slice I wish I asked seconds of. I've ordered from them for years because of their vegan options and decided to come in one day with my girlfriend. We were so pleased we agreed we'd try and come by as much as possible when our scheduled days off align (I'll totally be ordering from them as much as possible til that next visit). There's also a stage with musical equipment and a page dedicated to music playing there. I'd love to come by one night to see how that plays out. Looks entertaining.

Excellent food variety. When I'd visited there was a musician present playing music and it definitely tied the whole experience together.
