“It's somewhere by the Duane Reade, Cafe Miro, and Ricky's. Wander around for a little and you'll find it.”

I come in here most mornings. The staff is friendly and quick. In my opinion they have the beat iced coffee with a great price. I like my iced coffee light and sweet. I also usually get a toasted egg bagel with lox. I am always happy when I leave here. I also sometimes stop in for their lunch paninis.
This deli splits me in a war of head vs. heart – on the one hand, it beats anyone's prices in the hood, has really fresh sandwiches (both hot and cold) and is a great lunch deal for Soho. On the other, however, is the never-ending struggle with the most important quality a deli needs to possess – speed.
This place is usually run by 2 dudes in the AM and 1 dude in the afternoon. This makes it fucking *impossible* to get a quick sandwich cuz the dude is usually cooking bacon on the tiny-ass griddle over and over and over again. He takes 1 order at a time and takes his sweet time caressing the bacon. If you want a cold wrap, you gotta wait for the bacon to crisp up. And then the weird chick on her phone has a long request about "a triple-decker, but, like, without the turkey." Oh ma lord. Don't come here if you're in a rush.
Side note – although this doesn't bother me at all – the place is fairly grimy, but in a charming NYC kind of way. The tiny-ass griddle houses *everything,* so vegetarians beware. Everything looks gross, but tastes delicious, so there's that.
Also, lox lovers – try the Salmon Sandwich. Cream cheese, really tender and fresh lox, tomatoes and cucumbers on multigrain bread. Not too salty, very filling, delicious as all hell.
OK, so it's a bit run down on the inside and could use a bit of a make over but so what? Definitely not a place to sit and eat, though. Anyways, after searching the area for a few weeks and trying different places for SALAD, this place definitely tops them all. There's seriously an overwhelming amount of fresh choices to put in your salad and I'm talking fresh, crunchy, and green, yay!! I wish you had the option to chop your salads though, I always like salads better all chopped up. But nonetheless, really really good salad at a great price. and they have fat free caesar dressing? helloOoOOo, YES!
I work in this area and sometimes you just don't want to spend 20 dollars or more on lunch. I wonder through the streets of Soho and passed this bodega-ish establishment. I noticed the long line by the grill for people to place orders. I waited in line and the sandwich menu is huge. And there are soooo many different desserts from triple chocolate cake to tiramisu. Yummy!
Want some food that is fast, decent, and affordable I would recommend dropping in here. They are also available via GrubHub
Not only is this place slow and incompetent, it seems to create a force field of slowness and incompetence that seizes everyone inside, so that even the customers become babbling idiots incapable of making basic decisions or performing simple tasks (such as, say, ordering and paying for food).
Coffee: perpetually bad and burnt.
Toasted bagel: burnt to a motherf***ing CRISP. Shiz is BLACK. How hard is it to toast a goddamn bagel?
Vitamin Water: lukewarm.
Salads: taste pretty good, but take about a century to make. Seriously, if you're in the 'hood and want a salad, go two blocks down to Duke where the greens are fresher, you get more toppings, and the guys who make it are trained at some sort of Ninja Salad Academy for speed and agility.
Pizza: spectacularly lackluster. Gluey cheese, sad toppings.
Service: atrocious. The line at the register is generally endless, and moves about as fast as the line to get onto Space Mountain during school break at Disneyworld (except they don' t actually have an electric sign telling you it'll be an hour and a half until you can pay for your breakfast.)
This place is an embarrassment to New York delis everywhere, and should be disbarred from the New York Deli Association (if there were such thing).
