I cant believe that this was only my third visit. Ever since I read about Manifest Bread opening…read moreshop in Riverdale, I've meant to visit but kept forgetting to until a couple months ago and now I will make a more concerted effort to stop by on my day off. Manifest Bread not only has a neat variety of menu options but, the ambiance!!! It's a cool interior, clean bathrooms, and AMAZING STAFF! I've come twice for breakfast and once for their jambon beurre sandwich. My first breakfast included: - sweet potato bialy: interesting-in-a-good way grouping of ingredients and the crust was crisp - biscuit with butter & jam: biscuit was flaky, crisp, and yet doughy; the right amount of butter, and jam provided tartiness/refreshing bite - olive oil cake: no complaints! My second breakfast included: - biscuit with butter & jam: a must have! - basque cheesecake: I have to be in the mood for cheesecake and I'd aay it was "light and airy" but may not be the best judge here - cardamom bun: last 2 times I came here, the cardamom bun was coated in a thick white frosting, but this time, it was different, so i HAD to go for it and for a fan of cardamom, this was superbub! ABUNDANT amountof cardamom and right amount of moistness! I would have ordered a bialy again but new I was going to have a big lunch so will get it next time. The jambon beurre sandwich was not what I had expected as it was more...flavourful and salty than I would have preferred as I like a plain butter and ham on a baguette sandwich...however, you can taste the quality of the meats used. UPDATE: Went back for breakfast and this time got the mulled apple cider and: - onion poppyseed bialy: I did not need creamcheese with this and it was fine, but if you eat the crust with butter and the apple butter - yum. Crust was on the tough-chew side, but flavor profile was good. Now that I've had it again, will stick to the biscuit. - morning bun: very flaky, crisp, snd the sugar just got all over and me being a messy eater, I felt like I got the sugar all over me and sticky, too. Flavour was great, buuuut... - buttermilk biscuit with butter and apple butter: yum!!!!

I've purchased their baked goods at regional farmers' markets and wanted to see the brick & mortar…read morestore for myself. It's located in a convenient, small shopping center off of Route 1. Parking is challenging at peak times. The selection of baked goods is varied and fresh. The line to buy items can get long. There's a decent-sized space to "eat-in", should you want. The sweet potato/chili/pistachio bialy is quite a creation, really like it, zings big time. I've never seen that flavor combo in a bialy before and hope they keep making it. The gingerbread with meyer lemon glaze has a very deep ginger flavor that's quite memorable. Not as keen about the breads. The community sandwich loaf is too plain for me and the sourdough breads are tame.

Prices and portions were decent, and there is free parking around the corner from the entrance. I had left overs, I would stop here again to try some of the other dishes. If you are looking for a low key, affordable place this is a good spot. Not for large groups, there are just a couple of tables and I imagine they do lots of takeaway, just fyi.

I came with my partner for lunch around 11:30am. The place was empty and there was only one person…read moreworking, but we had a good experience. The jazz music gave the place a casual cafe vibe. We ordered the vegetarian pho and the meatball pho. The food came out fairly quickly and came with the usual sides of bean sprouts, chilis, basil, and lime. The sides were not super large portions, but the pho itself was. I enjoyed the vegetarian pho; the broth was packed with umami and there were plenty of hearty mushrooms, veggies, and tofu. My partner enjoyed his meatball pho as well. The prices were above what I've seen at other typical Vietnamese places, but for a local restaurant, I'd come back just for the convenience.

It's located in the middle of the Riverdale shopping center, so there's ample parking. I ordered the plain bagel with plain cream cheese.

The help was friendly and efficient. They got our order out in well under 15 minutes. I had a veggie sandwich (hummus, avocado, chickpeas and vegetables.) certainly one of the best, most tasty, sandwiches I have ever had. Rye bread was exceptional. Read the menu online. If you see something you like give them a try. Their lox and bagel has been our go to order at other locations. This was our first time at this food cart location. It was just as good. If you get a chance "Call your mother!"

I finally got around to visiting SOKO Butcher Shop & man was it worth it! WOW!…read more I got the Philly, and it was worth the hype. A top tier cheesesteak that rivals anything I've had in the area, Baltimore & Philadelphia. 10/10 The wife got The Butcher on Ciabatta w/ chimichurri, horseradish aioli, arugula roasted tomato. She devoured that thing --(not AI, I've always written like this lol) well, what she could bc our sandwiches were massive. 8/10 My daughter, Paris got the wings with fries and she loved her meal as well. All in all, this was a great experience. The lady at the cash register was very friendly and helpful when I purchased my cuts of meat to make burgers later at home, the space was clean, and food came out within 15 minutes. Funny story, it was my bday so I knew my Dad was coming by my house later in the evening so I saved him half of my cheesesteak bc I couldn't eat it all, and I really wanted him to try it. After initially refusing, he finally tasted it and said it was the best he's ever had, and this was hours later, after warming it up in the microwave. He asked me to send the address, and that this would be his new go to spot. Lol Definite 5 stars.

I ordered a sandwich with bacon on it but they didn't add the bacon. It's an up charge so if they…read moredidn't have it the charge should have been refunded. The service is always bad and the food is expensive so the least they can do is get the order right. When you walk in no one acknowledges you even if you're the only customer there. When they finally do they act as if they're doing you a favor by taking your order...no smile, no welcome in...nothing. One time I was there, several people were in the store and the workers were laughing and talking behind the counter. About three minutes went by before I asked if someone could hand me my order. Right after that a customer who had been there before me asked if they could order, so there's no telling how long they had been waiting before I spoke up. It's never a pleasant experience. It's a local neighborhood spot so I try to support but at this point they're playing in my face.

Came to Salumeria to pick up dinner on a Friday night and was so happy to of found this gem!…read more Salumeria is a true Italian deli with a ton of great sandwiches, take home meals like lasagna, and a range of desserts. You can certainly order online and pick up (as I did!) but there is more available in store so it's also worth placing an order in person. There isn't much of a place to wait or sit so whether you order online or in person prepare to take your meal to go. It's a very straight forward deli counter. No frills but lots of treats. The prices are extremely reasonable and dare I say cheap for the quality and portions. My meatball sub was delicious!!! The bread was the real standout for me -- so soft and pillowy. I also had to have a cannoli and no complaints it totally hit the spot. Happy to have this amazing spot for a quick lunch or dinner in the neighborhood!

I went to Franklins for a fundraiser event and it was an amazing experience. The last time I went…read morehere with my family was many years ago and it was just ok. Since then, this place was renovated and it's nicely decorated in every section and the bathrooms are clean. They've added an ice cream section with lots to choose from. The menu is very impressive with a good selection for vegetarian and gluten free options and everything looks delicious. The group I went with this time was from my church and everyone loved what they ordered. The owner of the restaurant stopped by our table and introduced himself. He was very friendly and so was the waitress and the host. I ordered a Ruben, and Moroccan lamb sliders to go. Both were delicious! Then we went to the ice cream shop, quite a treat. The following day I went back with my grandson and had more time to browse around. I ordered the beet salad with goat cheese and my grandson had the confit duck leg with lentils, carrots with citrus demi glaze. We both really enjoyed our dinner. The shop had some very unique items and some hilarious objects. There's even a section where they sell wine and beer. This is definitely an unusual and fun place to visit. I highly recommend.

Had the biggest onion rings of my life here, wow. And they were great too with the horseradish…read moresauce. These were more savory than sweet. Followed my friend's way of eating them and used a fork and knife haha. Ordered a chicken sandwich too and it was delicious. Ask for extra sauce cause I found it a little dry but overall tasted great. Our server was really nice and friendly too. After eating, we went downstairs for some ice cream and I got the super chonk flavor (malted vanilla ice cream, fudge, peanut butter, brownie pieces). It hit the spot, tasted like real premium ice cream. Glad to have checked this spot out. I liked the family friendly ambiance and can tell it's an important part of the community.

Capo Deli is one of those spots that has completely won me over, and I honestly find myself…read moreordering it more often than I probably should. The food is AMAZING every single time. One of my favorite things is catching the buy one get one free deals on UberEats because it makes it even easier to justify ordering it again. What really stands out about Capo Deli is how consistently fresh and flavorful everything tastes, even with delivery. The sandwiches and wraps always arrive well prepared, not soggy, and still tasting like they were made with care right before being packed up. My two absolute favorites are the tuna wrap and the chicken salad wrap. The tuna wrap is perfectly balanced, creamy but not overwhelming, and packed with flavor in every bite. The chicken salad wrap is just as good, with a smooth texture, great seasoning, and a freshness that makes it feel lighter than you would expect. Both wraps are the kind of meals that feel simple but done at a really high level, which is harder to find than people think. Another thing that makes Capo Deli stand out is the portion size. You really get your money's worth, especially with the BOGO deals. One order easily turns into two meals, which makes it perfect for lunch and dinner or even the next day. A lot of people also love the fact that the menu has a wide variety of deli sandwiches, wraps, and comfort-style options, so there is always something new to try without straying from what they do best. Even in other reviews, people consistently talk about how reliable Capo Deli is. It is one of those places where you know exactly what you are going to get every time: fresh ingredients, solid portions, and food that hits the spot. It is not overly complicated, just really well executed deli food done right. Overall, Capo Deli has become one of my go-to spots, especially for delivery. Between the flavor, consistency, portion size, and those UberEats BOGO deals, it is hard not to keep coming back. The tuna wrap and chicken salad wrap alone are worth the order every time.

I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

As a lifelong fan of classic NY deli (ie Katz's) I had long heard of Stachowski's facsimile. In short, it was a thorough disappointment. Taste-wise, the sandwich tasted as if someone had made corned beef in error, then, realized their mistake and threw pastrami seasoning on it and threw it in a smoker at the last minute. It was tough, chewy, and basically inedible. If you've got a hankering for NYC pastrami, you're better served heading up to Katz's. It's worth the trip.
