Since I first went there, many years ago, I've been a big fan. They make great deli sandwiches, hoagies and soups. Their pastry game is top notch, as well. It's a nice quaint place for an afternoon meal. They could stay open a little bit later, but that's a straight selfish wish in my part. I want their sandwiches at all times of the day. Lol. You would too.
