    A. Mike's Breakfast
    Mia S.

    Great place for a quick, filling breakfast or lunch pick-up! It's a small shop, but don't be deceived. They have tons of sandwich, wrap and panini options - both signature creations and sandwich classics - in addition to a bunch of snacks and drinks. During this trip, I tried the highly recommended Mike's breakfast, a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant with a hashbrown and chipotle aioli. The cheese was melty, the hashbrown was crispy, and the bacon tasted fresh which are all important qualities to look out for in a good breakfast sandwich! The other breakfast sandwich options looked super tasty too, so I look forward to going back to try different sandwiches. The staff is always so kind and provide excellent service. This neighborhood spot is most definitely a gem!

    I got 2 breakfast sandwiches for me and my boyfriend. I had Mike's breakfast, and he had Cliff's breakfast. We both thought that these sandwiches were great for a light meal to start off our day. Service was very friendly and quick. I think I was in and out of here within 10 minutes. I also think it's cool how they switch it up every week with limited time menu items. Their regular menu is extensive so there must be something for everyone.

    I got the special that day which was a chicken finger hoagie, the absolute best hoagie around! Friendly smiles from the gentlemen working the register(Onie) & it was a great community of regulars to people watch from. Great seating for dinning in, highly recommended! Update: I came back the following day because Onie mentioned a special that they only make one a month called the BANG BANG SHRIMP HOAGIE

    Sandwiches are probably my favorite thing to eat for lunch. That said, I am always searching for great places to get one. And I think I have found the best. Stopped by today to get the Buffalo chicken panini. It was reasonably priced, and DELICIOUS. This is my new go to sandwich spot. Cannot wait to try their breakfast sandwiches.

    These are the best sandwiches in Fairmount! I have walked by this place for months, and my boss randomly recommended it to someone who was craving a sandwich. I must admit, it took me a few months to finally step inside, but when I did it perfect timing. My friend was celebrating her birthday, and I chose to visit after she finished her teaching sessions for the morning. We walked into the little deli, and tons of beautiful colors and flavors filled the walls of the space. I have never treated a friend to a birthday sandwich, but as she scanned the walls in delight, I felt a surge of affirmation - it was worth the risk. She ended up choosing two delicious sandwiches for her long day ahead and I landed on my favorite flavor of 2023: The (self-proclaimed) Gabby Sandwich. It's the Grilled Salmon speciality sandwich with out everything else! Beyond the sandwiches, the sides leave you with limitless flavor journeys. There are a lot of fresh fruits, walls teeming with chips (including plantain chips ) and multiple drinks to choose from. As a Montclair native, I of course had the "Joe's Tea" - which now is bottled and produced in Elizabeth, NJ - but I was appreciative of the range of options for enhancing my meal! There is no spoiler alert because the food was FANTASTIC. The best way to conclude is the most genuine review - a woman walked in while I was waiting to pick up her sandwich and as I exited I saw her demolishing her sandwich in the front seat of tje car! It was so good, she couldn't make it another mile without a bite, and if I didn't have to get back to work, I would have been sitting right next to her in the passenger seat. Next time you go, you may see me there! If not, tell them I sent you to Christie's Deli!

    Cute little spot with outdoor seating. I got their croissant special breakfast sandwich with no bacon and egg whites. It was simple, delicious, and totally worth it. They also have amazing Thai iced tea. Cashier was friendly and attentive.

    What an unexpected find this was after climbing the Rocky Steps! It was time to indulge in a hearty breakfast and why not try the Christie's Breakfast sandwich. Filled with satisfying ingredients including crunch (hash brown patty) spicy sauce (garlic Siracha) and yummy fried egg, cheddar, onion and pork roll on a toasted croissant. PERFECTION. I thought I was in Heaven. Very friendly staff. Don't miss this local gem. Low key ambiance-quick serve style.

    D. Cliff's Breakfast
    Elizabeth L.

    This place is the definition of an incredible hole in the wall deli. It's a family run shop and clearly has lots of regulars. These are easily some of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Not exactly something I could eat every day since they're super heavy but very much a "treat yoself" meal after a late night out or... after a big workout! We got the Christie's and Cliff's breakfast specials and were blown away by the generous portions, great quality of ingredients, and the most stunning cheese pull we've seen in a sandwich (I mean, just look at the pics!). We personally preferred the Cliff's, but the Christie was also delicious and must try given the namesake. Can't wait to go back and try the other specials!

    I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll with salt pepper and ketchup. It was mediocre and sadly disappointing. The bread was dry and they didn't even put ketchup.

    Hidden gem in the fairmount area. The deli is masked by a quiet, ordinary-looking small convenience store but make no mistake - the sandwiches and food inside is amazing. With an extensive and interesting menu, we'll be back many times to try more options. Love Christie's!

This was my first time actually trying it and it definitely lived up to the hype of the Yelp reviews. My wrap had chicken, hummus, lettuce, and feta, and it was so delicious. My chicken was very good, very tender and seasoned well. It also had a great creamy hummus to tie all the other ingredients together. The feta added just enough saltiness to balance out the rest of the flavors. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and my wrap was extremely soft, yet still maintained its form completely as I ate. I also ordered a Nutella hot chocolate. It was delicious! It was my fist time having a Nutella hot Chocolate. I usually just get a normal hot chocolate. The pita chips served as an additional side item with this sandwich and proved to be quite enjoyable. The pita chips had a good crunch and were able to pair with the wrap very well. I ended up eating all of the pita chips! It was a great lunch and I enjoyed my wrap! I would likely order from Café Square One again in the future, especially, if that wrap is still on their menu!

The strawberry French toast is topped with roasted strawberries, cream cheese icing, and sliced almonds. It was super filling with generous portions and just the right balance of sweetness. 2. The crab omelet with grilled onions, local mushrooms, and béarnaise sauce. A unique combination that oddly worked really well together. 3. The classic two-egg breakfast with crispy potatoes and a biscuit. Simple and a great traditional option.

    Some new items on the menu so I figured I would go through a new review:…read more Carrot Soup: This replaces their old root vegetable soup, and they thankfully kept it vegetarian. It was much better than their root vegetable soup, and I was quite fond of that soup. It's honestly nothing like anything else on the menu. It has an indian? maybe? taste to it. It's so good. there is these juicy white raisins inside, some sliced almonds (not treenut friendly), and some sort of white yogurt sauce with micro greens. really a fantastic flavor pallet and the actual soup texture is smooth minus the toppings. Cashew Hummus: okay so here's my thing. I find that this restaurant in particular does such a disservice with their menu item descriptions. Based off of the description of this dish, I would think it's probably decent at best, and might not even order it. luckily I had a sixth sense to know this would be amazing. it's truly so good. it's a hummus layer topped with a bunch of seasoned roasted vegetables and chickpeas. The flavors are great and the textures are also great. I wouldn't have known it was cashew hummus if you didn't tell me. it's honestly not that large, so if you really like vegtables and hummus i'd get your own or split with only one person. if everyone is demure, it could go four ways. also! I don't think it comes with bread. it didn't come with bread this recent visit, but I am not sure if that was a mistake or that's how it is. But, to be safe, i'd save your bread you get at the begining to use for this. this is a must get every time I go. Dandelion salad: I only order this for my welsh rarebit. I like to eat my welsh rarebit with some of the salad since the acid cuts the fatty cheese. but, I will say, it's a very good salad. my favorite part is the thinly sliced celery pieces. it has a bunch of varying greens, celery, avocado, cucumber. all dressed in a lemony dressing. it's very simplistic and that's why I think it's so good. it's quite large, and would be a great "for the table" order so that everyone has some fresh bites with their rich entrees. Welsh Rarebit: my favorite. if you don't know what welsh rarebit is, it's basically fancy cheese toast. think proper fondue cheese with Worcestershire, mustard, maybe guinness, melted on a thick piece of toast. so an open faced fancy grilled cheese. it's two big slices of toast. could easily be shared for the table but I prefer my own order. if you get this I recommend also getting the dandelion salad and eating them together. Chocolate Set: I haven't tried their other desserts, but I just know they are a waste of time compared to this. the chocolate set is a dense chocolate mousse with earl gray ice cream, chocolate nibs, and a few orange slices. it's so simple but so so good. texturally, amazing. the smoothness of the mousse with the crunchy nibs is the perfect contrast. the orange is bright, the ice cream is just great on its own and does so well paired with everything else. it can be shared 4 ways if you have demure people. my family of four just orders two and we get half each. that works for us, we would never be able to share one. all in all great service as always, great food, and obviously a gorgeous interior.
