I used to be more then a regular; a booster (as in supporter, not petty thief) of not simply…read moreBrancaccio's... but of Joe himself. A truly genuine, authentic salt of the earth guy. And one of the greatest chefs I've ever had the pleasure to know. And I've known my share of cats who made their livings and their names in a kitchen. From the very first day I discovered Brancaccio's I felt a magic a connection that I knew would change my life, make my belly really f--kin' happy and set my soul a-dancin'. On that first day Joe and I talked about the great food of NY; most of it gone but not forgotten by those who were of the time. We both lamented the lose of the legendary Zito's bakery on Bleecker. I can't tell you how long it had been since I'd ran into someone who even remembered Zito's much less was intimate with the place. I knew I was home. This was well over a decade ago. I won't go into specific things on Joe's menu that are worth trying because quite literally... everything is amazing. It just is! Soul satisfying beyond my ability to do justice to. I'd also like to throw out as an example of the humanity of the joint and it's capt. Joe... Joe treats his employees with respect, R E S P E C T as Aretha belted, dignity and the aforementioned humanity which is beautiful and virtually non-existent these days as far as I can see... and you can taste it in his food. That's just a big-ass Right On! Finally I like to say two or three things: First that as I initially identified myself as "used to being a regular" as and this is by no means a boo-hoo thing simply a fact... I fell pretty ill for a while and am just now beginning my reentry into the world. And as a matter of fact during the recent drag of days for me a thought kept slamming into the walls of my head and that was that I couldn't wait to once again sink my teeth into Joe's food. Well that day is here and I'm salivating at the thought. "I'll take one of everything my man!" Secondly, understand I've never written anything like this... I'm actually down on the whole review culture. So if this sounds at all "over the top"... or written by a cousin who Joe owes money to, get that thought right out of your head. All of I said is sincere and one from the heart. And lastly an additional "oh yea baby" to Joe's taste in music.

Good sandwich and good service. I had sausage with pepper and cheese. Took our sandwich down to the…read morepark and had a nice day.

Was in the area and looking for a quick sandwich option…read more Came into Albemarle and they seemed like they had a variety of options (breakfast sandwiches, rolls/hero's etc). I chose to go with the JJ Sandwich (breaded chicken, mozzarella, jalapeños etc). I get to the cash register and a woman rings me up and mumbles something in another language to the man who's preparing the food she then proceeds to add a dollar onto my order and doesn't tell me why. Upon opening the sandwich, the chicken cutlet is soggy and seems like it was made days ago. Not sure if there other sandwiches are better but this sandwich for $13.50 was extremely underwhelming. I could've gotten a lunch special at a Thai restaurant down the street for cheaper and better food.

I will get the occasional breakfast sandwich (like an egg and cheese or bec), or a turkey/cheese sandwich for lunch or dinner. Otherwise, they have a pretty good menu of other types of sandwiches. Depending on who is making the sandwich, it will vary. Definitely a safe bet either way. They also have your usual snacks like potato chips, sodas, beers, and what not. I've been here a number of times because I'll be in the neighborhood. This is definitely one of my favorite bodegas around. My favorite part being how personable and friendly the family who runs it. They've now become a familiar face. Overall, a recommend for if you happen to be passing by. It's conveniently located by the F/G subway stop, so it's hard to miss.

I finally gave in and decided to stop inside. The store is a deli / panaderia bakery, so the baked goods are located in the back of the shop. There are rows and rows of pastries. I've only been twice and it's always so crowded when I go in! It's a self-service, you grab the bread with tongs, and bring it up to the front type of situation. The only con is that there were no clear signs to how to grab the buns, and no signs for what the buns were, or the price. I ended up standing there for a few seconds and observing what all the other customers were doing, and followed along like a sheep lol. They have a huuuuge selection of bread (idk the names or types), but I got the concha bread. So so so delicious. Both times I went, it was warm - fresh out of the oven! . I can tell they have that oven running and bake often because I always pass by this place different hours of the day and it always smells amazing! The concha was super delicious, light, not too sweet and just the right amount of slight savory. I'm addicted and will probably go here to fuel up my sweet bread cravings.

There are also plenty of canned goods, a healthy assortment of snacks, and of course, beer. The deli side is where it's at. When I don't feel like making breakfast, I'll come through for a bacon egg and cheese on a roll ($3.50), which they quickly make to order. The other food delicacies they offer seem to be a hit; there's often a lunch crowd ordering food. Prices are reasonable for this part of Brooklyn. The business feels honest, unlike the deli across the street. I enjoy shopping at President and I wish them all the best.

They have a pretty good selection of meat and chicken...no ground beef though which I'd like to be able to get. Produce sometimes looks kind of old, but other times it looks fine. Sandwiches have always been good - their hero bread is better than other spots in the area. Prices are on point with other stores. My only complaint is their hours..they close so early and it can be inconvenient.
