We love the chicken pesto panini is a must when we got out for competitions, and bacon ? egg ? and cheese on the roll, and the cheese and steak onions with jalapenos is delicious. ? and they support the community.Kid-friendliness: I have my five-year-old eating a sandwich and no problems.

Best food! Everything I order tastes amazing! The owners are really nice people. Also, in a pinch, he made me dinner for 8 on New Year's Eve. Highly recommend this deli!

I tried it for the first time today and it was absolutely AMAZING !! Best bacon egg and cheese in stamford by far with fresh increasing and so much flavor. Also has actual affordable prices. I will definitely be going back. I inhaled my sandwich before taking a picture but will add one next time :)

I wish I didn't drive by so many times before I ventured in. I have been a customer for a year and I have never been disappointed. Always very clean, excellent food quality and quick service.

I’m not always impressed by sandwiches. This is the first time I’ve tried a sub at this place and was genuinely floored. Had to shake the chef’s hand. Beautiful place, amazing food. I could even argue Michelin star worthy. And it’s just a simple sandwich too! The only thing I could’ve used to enhance it was vinegar, but that’s about it. Definitely would recommend this deli to everyone looking for a place to eat.

This place was amazing and definitely lives up to the hype. It's such a hidden gem near Harbor Point, with fantastic food! I wish they delivered, but I have nothing but great things to say about this locally-owned and operated business!!! The best mom-and-pop feel with great service!!!

This place deserves more love by everyone, family run, they are very sweet and chefs talented, tastes homemade and fresh! I always love the atmosphere and the purple is so pretty! Whenever I’m back in my home town now for the past few months I’ve come here nearly every morning even if I have to count change in the car just to get breakfast or a tasty sandwich! The coffee is also very good; a few pumps of hazelnut syrup they provide and a good brew. I’m usually not a big fan of hot coffee but it hits my heart in a warm way. Pictured is one of the French toast specials which I had this past week, it was the best French toast I’ve had in my life, ever. Breakfast burrito with ham is one of favorites along with a bacon egg and cheese on a roll but I usually eat it so fast I can’t take a picture (I’ve also bought about 6 of them each for my family at one point)! My grandmothers favorite is the corned beef hash and egg, it’s Petite but fresh and fills you up! Honorable mention is also the pesto panini, very tasty. Overall I pray this business gets the recognition it deserves more for being a down to earth talented and delicious little cozy breakfast lunch catering spot.Parking: The only issue I have is that it’s a great location, but the parking is small ( 2 spots), which is no fault of their own; perfect for walking to in the morning and afternoon if you live and work in the area since there’s so many high rises by the water across the street.
This place is great! I've been here for both breakfast and lunch offerings. My favorite is the classic bacon, egg, and cheese on a bulky roll! It's perfect and super reasonably priced. The owner is the sweetest. Go out of your way to support this local business over the donut delights and dunkins people!!!

Bacon egg and cheese sandwich on bagel was delicious.

Had great breakfasts for 3 days. We had a breakfast burrito and fresh made omelet. Each were great. This morning I tried Johnny's "morning Rueben" with egg, corned beef, Swiss cheese, and hash browns. This was great as well. We'll definitely go back when we're in town. Service was great.
