I've been here twice, and tried 2 different breakfast sandwiches. Both amazing! Cooked fresh and with love. I went a bit later in the day the second time so they only had pumpernickel. (A Bagel I never thought I would try) I'm honestly glad it's all they had, because it was delicious! I got the "I want it all" with pastrami. It was like a breakfast Reuben. So tasty!
