-Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of this delicatessen is its somewhat remote location from any of the main roads that surround it (Main Street, Bloomingdale and Ringwood Avenue). Driving to the deli, it feels as if you are driving on a serene country road, with trees covering the winding street. Once inside, the deli is well decorated with a country feel, with checkered table cloths covering the table in the dining area.

As for the food, the deli offers a wide selection of hot and cold sandwiches, including a variety of gourmet panini sandwiches (including a grilled chicken and roasted red pepper sandwich) that are prepared in advance and thrown on the grill to reheat so that they are piping hot when you order. Traditional favorites are also offered, including turkey breast, roast beef and ham. The deli makes its own tuna salad and also offers macaroni salad, potato salad and other popular sides.
