    I stumbled upon this nice boutique Italian deli in Holmdel, NJ. There's a small parking lot with few seatings available inside. The cashier was very helpful and friendly. The deli has a wide assortment of hot and cold food. They also do catering. You'll have difficulties deciding what to try. Their sandwiches cost $13 if you order a half-hero size, but for $3 extra, you can get a full-size hero. I ended up getting 3 different rolls and a riceball. I personally prefer their Philly cheese steak roll over the chicken vodka and prosciutto. Their rice ball was so-so. Overall, this was a nice place to visit. Price was decent, quality was good, and the portion size was a lot.

    Brand new Italian deli... Stopped in the other day to pick up lunch. This is a stand alone deli with a pretty good amount of parking outside. We ordered 2 sandwiches,one hot & one cold. For her, the Sea Bright. That was with fried eggplant, mozzarella, roasted peppers and a balsamic glaze on a roll. I chose the CPV on a half hero. That's with a chicken cutlet, prosciutto di parma, vodka sauce and melted mozzarella. A generous portion on both ends. Sandwiches only cost about $13. Unless you get a whole size which is $16. Daily soup specials for another $5. We chose the pasta fagioli and chicken noodle. One can dine in, they have 4 tables in the front or just sit by the window. I'll stress that this is a pretty large space. Service was great. The lady that works there was very helpful when asking about catering for our Christmas party. This makes #3 for Italian delis in my area. Welcome to the neighborhood. Enjoy.

    First time visit here for my wife and I. Very nice Italian deli with an wide assortment to choose from. I opted for there Holmdel sandwich which was shaved roast beef on the rare side. Shredded lettuce, thinly sliced American cheese and tomato slices. Complimented with horseradish mayo. My taste buds thoroughly enjoyed it. My had a stuffed philly cheesesteak roll. Also very tasty. Owners Marion and Mark now in business 10 months. We wish them much success and we will be back soon. If you're in the area definitely check them out!

My husband and I genuinely could not get over how good the biscuit was.....perfectly flaky, buttery. They also have an option covered in an espresso glaze, and it's just ridiculously good. I'm still thinking about it. Coffee was really solid (always matters), and the space itself is super cute and cozy. They also made Mickey Mouse pancakes for my daughter, and she was absolutely obsessed -- such a sweet touch and totally made her day. Westwood is a must. We'll absolutely be back.

There was a fair amount of parking but I would imagine it gets busy during the lunch rush around 11am-12pm. Thankfully we didn't have any parking issues. Inside is really cute too there's a little area with fresh pastries and sweets and then in the back there's a small library where you can read or take a book for free! They do have a few things to purchase as merch too like tshirts. Seating is all outdoors except a few barstools inside. The people taking our orders were super nice. I wasn't sure what to get so they gave some recommendations and ways I could customize my order with chicken vs. falafel. We ordered the Devito cutlet sandwich, the Greek Freak with chicken, the snickerdoodle latte, and the pumpkin spice latte. Everything was made pretty fast and it all was fresh and delicious. You can tell it's all fresh and homemade which is always so nice to have. I would definitely come back here and maybe even try a different location. I think it would be nice to have more seating options indoors especially with the weather getting colder. I also would love to try other seasonal drinks since they have a wide selection.

My favorite thing that I like to get are their breakfast tacos. The tacos are filled with tofu scramble and topped with chili, a cheese-like sauce, and a slice of avocado. I don't know what it is, but I smash these tacos every single time I get them. They are so good! I honestly can't speak on much else because I get the same thing every time. Also, I buy one or two of their pressed juices. They make these in advance and are bottled. For the summer season, they have a juice that consists of strawberries, basil, beets, and more that is so very good. If you're looking for a place to get your vegan fix, this is the one.
