Natural Deli

Small hole in the wall. Do I want to support it? Yes! Bacon frying on the grill smells great but all I want is an oatmeal. It says homemade oatmeal. Skeptical that they have it I ask and the guy behind the grill says yes. Ok. Great. I stand there waiting… then I see it. The second guy behind the counter pours some hot water on quick dry oats then sticks it in the microwave. To make all this even more offensive they charge me $ 2.50. For uncooked, gritty, microwaved oatmeal. Yuck. Would’ve been better off getting it at starbucks…

A special find for people like me. I have a fondness for dirty gritty food, working class, construction worker type foods. Having spent the better part of my bank account last year on «gourmet coffee» — Samuel L. Jackson, I’ve grown to realize, I don’t really like it all that much. Or at least not the expensive kind.
I do however love cheap coffee. Like… more than some of my ex’s. Hell, more than most of my ex’s *whispers* because cheap coffee never says «not tonight». They also don’t say «I might be pregnant». But anywho, weekday mornings, this is the place to be if you truly appreciate cheap coffee. It has to be mornings though, somehow somebody can blend the bitter taste of coffee with sugar, so that it doesn’t create that awkward separation of flavors.

This is the place I go to for a good breakfast deli sandwich. This no frills place offers quickly made sandwiches at a decent price. The aisle is narrow so watch out for people walking in with their bags.
Pro tip: For now, come in early for breakfast before the construction workers come in with their list of orders.

They are so nice, but sooooo slow at breakfast which is the only time I frequent this deli. The prices are comparable to anything else (2 large coffees and a bialy with butter $ 4.50), in this area.

A kombucha after midnight. Under a fiver. No pressure while I count my change. I have done this many times.
That is all I need here.
That is all you need here.

No. Do not order the veggie burger. Yes, it was not the best ordering choice but it REALLY brings down my feelings about this place.
