  1. Ace Deli is a perfectly-affordable option for coffee.

    I regularly get coffee here. I find their regular coffee tastes better than Starbucks's blend – not hard to do. When I sweeten[1] my coffee, it's on par with Dunkin Donuts's sweet offerings.

    Can't comment reliably on the deli's other options. Once, I bought a bunch of pastries for the office, but I don't recall eating any myself. Coffee is my drug.

    The inestimable Mrs. Kim[2] will probably be ringing you up at the front – somehow, she remembers all her customers. Cash only, by the way.

    [1] I rarely experiment often with cream or sugar, but I have my days.
    [2] No idea if she's the owner.

  2. I wish they had a better roll/bread selection, but whatever. They are friendly and fast. You don't have to wait in line or stand around for 20 minutes to get a sandwich like you do at the fancier looking delis up the street. Plus they have fresh turkey sliced right off the bird if you prefer that over the regular deli turkey. That alone makes this place worthy of a frequent visit. Oh also, the roast beef is fresh off an actual roast too. If they had good multigrain rolls, I'd go five stars.

  3. Decided to give this hole in the wall deli a chance today for breakfast as it's down the block from where I work. Now that I am back on the "good eating"  plan after ruining myself during the holidays I was looking for a relatively healthy meal.

    I saw the sign walking by with a few specials on it. One was a breakfast wrap with egg whites, turkey, and swiss cheese for $4. Not a bad deal so I went in. Service was quick and I was back at my desk in minutes. Wrap was cooked just fine and I was satisfied. ( well, that's a lie as I really wanted a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll – damn diet! )

    The place itself is a standard deli with only a few tables and chairs. No real decor or anything to make one want to eat there. Carries all the basics a deli normally has. Just A-OK by me.
