The Kosher Spot is a wonderful store for anyone needing kosher meat, kosher frozen meals and…read morevegetables, ready to eat meals, cookies, holiday items. Kosher chicken, steak, ground beef, deli items, pickles, and more are available, and of high quality. The owner and staff are helpful and accommodating of special needs and request. For example they have researched ingredients for me due to allergies. I go to the store wearing a mask due to my immune system issues and the ongoing pandemic, and they have helped stay safer when checking out by allowing me to take pull the receipt myself, and showing me how to wave my card over the chip scanner.

I was super excited to check out the Kosher Spot as there are far less Jewish restaurants and…read morestores out in the Midwest than I am used to in New York. The store is right next to a kosher sushi spot which is pretty convenient for those who keep kosher. When I walked in, it was quite crowded with a lot of other Jews ( I am also Jewish) which I always take as a great sign, but the selection was super limited compared to what I am used to and the prices were incredibly high for most normal items. I know there is always a large markup for kosher items, but this was significantly higher than I have seen before and seemed to apply to items which are generally kosher by default like oil and other regular household supplies. Furthermore, a lot of the items have no price tag - especially the freezer section which made me have no idea what I was going to pay until I got up front. I ended up leaving with a box of frozen knishes (7.99) and a refrigerated pair of knishes (4.99). The refrigerated section knishes were delicious, I heated them back up in the oven when I got home and really enjoyed it. Much better than the knish I had at Cecil's. But as a store, the prices are way too high for me to give a higher rating even though it is nice to see a kosher store.

A little overpriced for what it is on especially their dinner items (22 for falafel platter). The turmeric chai was good albeit a tad bit watery. I have had better and worse. Would say actual glass plates would be nice or non styrofoam as the crepe was hot enough to slightly melt my plate. It was a bit unbecoming. The service is a bit on the slow side and not exactly the most polite ether. For a quick grab and go bite it was what I needed in the morning. The ambiance to put it lightly is cramped. They have 4 tables and a guitar and piano. For seating you might be better off if you take it and sit in the hotel area.

All four orders came out wrong. Two were still wrong on the second try but we just gave in and ate. One sandwich had, I kid you not, a single sad slice of pastrami. There were multiple servers and many open tables, but the women at the front wasn't seating anyone and kept walking away from the register so there was also a long line waiting to pay. The food itself was ok, the highlight was the fresh rye bread. The pastrami and corned beef are alright but portions were very skimpy for a $20 sandwich and one of us only got a single slice of pastrami, wtf?! Also, so many people praise the matzo ball soup but maybe they've never actually eaten it before? Cause where I'm from you don't just drop a couple dense matzo balls in your basic chicken and vegetable soup and call it a day.

My first slice of pizza since early March (at Cossetta's in St. Paul during the MN State High…read moreSchool Hockey Tournament) - before we got hit by this pandemic! Seeing that Basil was open last week in the afternoon on our way back into Mpls. after a visit to a storage locker in Hopkins, we stopped in for a piece of pizza. We entered wearing our face masks, and found a group of 4 or 5 young boys without masks, as well as the man behind the counter with no mask. There were no other people inside at that time. Keeping our distance from the ever-moving, ever-evolving group of youth, we waited our turn to order. I ordered a slice of mushroom and green olive (the "add-ons" were advertised to cost $1.50 for 2 ingredients), and my companion ordered two slices of their vegan sausage pizza. We each got a can of the blood orange flavor of Pellegrino soda from their cooler, then grabbed cups with ice from their machine since the cans of soda weren't all that cold on that *hot* day. We sat at a table inside and then used their sink towards the back to wash our hands as we waited for our slices to arrive. Meanwhile, a man & woman couple came in - neither were wearing a face mask. Once our slices were done in the oven, they were brought over to us by the man we had ordered from behind the counter (I assume he was the owner). The flavor and texture of my slice were fantastic! The crust was initially crunchy, then so, pleasingly chewy. The combination of fresh mushrooms and green olives was extraordinary - a combo I'd never had before, and the bite of the vegan sausage I tried was excellent, too!! All markers point to great pizza for us - it's Brooklyn-style according to the assumed owner. Having spied what appeared to be a soft-serve ice cream machine, and hearing one of the youth say something about "soft-serve", I asked the owner about it - he said that only one side of the machine was working and he had only limoncello as a flavor and that he'd be happy to give me some to try. He dispensed a nice pile of it into a cardboard boat and gave me a plastic spoon. It was soooo lemony, creamy, and lovely! For certain, we will return here again when we're over on this side of town and need something to eat mid-day! This taste experience was well worth the amount of time I've waited for a great slice of pizza! One thing to note: Instead of being charged $1.50 for those 2 ingredients on my slice, we were charged $1.50 for each ingredient. We let it ride after reading our receipt, but will be aware for a future visit.

I enjoyed the pizza! I liked the chewy crust and I tried the vegetarian chorizo which I also enjoyed. If they cleaned it up a bit and updated a few things I'd def come back! Great deal for a quick slice of pizza!!

I immediately started to worry. Unfortunately my worries have slowly " come true" ...and with an extremely upset heart, Crossroads has changed. Scott and Stu had dedication and sheer love of cooking and baking with the BEST of ingredients and exquisite rare perfect use of spices. Their flavors in everything they touched were some of the VERY BEST I have experienced nationally and in my home state of NY where my father taught Biochemistry in the Bronx at Einstein Med School (1955-1980) and where my intense passion for Delicatessen cuisine originated. Coming almost daily to Crossroads truly made my day! I adored EVERYTHING they created. Even shipped a large lemon coconut cake to mom's beloved 90 year old boss at Scarsdale Medical Center 8 years ago! Today: Their rye bread with caraway seeds was identical to Grossinger's. Now almost zero flavor. The broasted chicken if served hot fresh out of the cooker is still excellent. Some of the original spices gone. The lemon coconut cake has zero real lemon flavor just deep yellow coloring, Their pastrami and corned beef also lost 1/3 to 1/2 of their original flavor plus the size of the sandwiches 1/3-1/2 the original size. The new main dishes are almost tasteless. Their original recipes for matzo ball soup, etc are still good - - vary 8-10 rating. They no longer use as much/ perhaps any butter in their coffee cake " breads" which used to be a 10. Many cookies and tiny pastries in the same display case are still good. Compared to many other restaurants today they are now just " an ok". Gone are the days when Crossroads Deli was " TRULY SPECTACULAR "......

I stood there waiting while 2 people had a convo and I felt ignored. I dropped a star for that reason. The key lime pie and dirt cup were very tasty!! This place is known for its "pattiecake" but I just felt it was a regular chocolate cake with frosting. They have plenty of desserts though! Overall this place gives "up scale Panera vibes" and I liked it! I would go back!

If you're looking for a table indoors and the main area is packed, head to the back (towards bathrooms) where you'll find two rooms with additional seating which are usually quieter. - I tend to go for sandwiches, which include house made chips. Honestly, when I first went, I wasn't a fan of the chips, but it didn't take long for me to like them. Once while dining in, I found that most of them were just tiny bits. Well when the waiter came to ask how things were, I told/showed him... just as an FYI, not expecting anything. Well, he kindly brought me a bag to replace them. -The staff is mostly kind, with two male waiters/runners being especially nice and helpful. While myself or others are waiting they'll give friendly smiles, see if you need anything in the meantime. I like them! - Although I go mainly for the sandwiches, (my favorite being the Southwest Chicken Panini available in the Fall), I also like the mac and cheese and fries. I used to love the coconut cake, but something about the last one I bought tasted different. The filling and the cake texture... weren't as tasty as I remember. During my last visit I tried, the Reuben. Not for me, but they have lots of other things to try.

I'm not a sauce type person so I like breads that have some kind of flavor to it to make up for not putting sauce on sandwiches. The bread here is the type of bread that you're gonna want to get if you're not a sauce person they have pumpernickel on Saturdays. They do not have it on the weekdays. It's very hard to pick the kind of bread or pastry or any kind of bakery here everything is just so so good. You just wanna try everything.

I was drawn in by the ambience of the place. It was very cute and urban, practically begging me to sit down. It's an order and pay first style, which took me so long, because everything on the menu looked so good! Due to a bit of confusion, we ended up changing our order multiple times, but our server calmly helped us through each step. I'd like to also take a moment to appreciate that they use no plastic in dishes and boxes too! It's so environmentally friendly! Although it's just slightly on the pricier side, I'd say it's pretty great for a completely plant-based restaurant. My family and I ordered a mac and cheese, Crunchwrap (with fries), chili, a bowl, buffalo cauliflower wings and a cookies and cream milkshake. The buffalo wings came first and they were amazing! They were perfectly sour and a bit of spicy. That really hit the spot! To cool my mouth down, I drank a bit of my milkshake, and I could not stop! The oat milk was so rich and creamy, giving it the perfect flavor and texture. The Crunchwrap had "meat" inside it that was so real I actually got scared! It was such an authentic taste. The chili came with vegan sour cream, and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you it was some of the best sour cream I've ever had! It also came with jalapeños which paired perfectly with the warm chili. Finally, the bowl was irresistible. It had crispy tofu on top that made my mouth water. After devouring my meal I ended with crispy French fries that crunched with every bite. One of the best meals I've ever had! Overall, I totally recommend this place no matter what diet you follow!

Upon ordering I noticed the prices that rang up on the register were higher than the advertised price on the menu - when I asked the cashier if the menu was out of date she said yes. Not a fan of that but was already roped in at that moment. Second, this establishment auto-applying a 15% gratuity on any orders over $10. Now with that combination of experience in mind? Feels like they're reaching a bit for my wallet, not a great start, Ordered a ginger lemon spritzer, honey mustard bbq cauliflower wings, and the chickin burger. All were very delicious except the portions were a bit too big and the spritzer was overpowered by the lemon- it tasted like lemonade or basically just lemon juice. Personally all the right elements are in play here if they can fix the portions they probably wouldn't have to lie on the menu and apply auto gratuity (never been a fan of this method) especially since the food is more of a fast food style. The cauliflower wings were my favorite but are definitely bigger than an appetizer and both my sister and I enjoyed the chickin burger but both of us only ate half of it because there was so much. My neice enjoyed her Mac and cheese and that was another delicious highlight. Fix the pricing and menus. Little less portions for control, and a little less lemon in the spyriz and it would have been spot on. The vibe of the place is bright light and airy, we sat for a good while talking business and it felt very relaxed.
