    Loved this little deli! Being from CA we don't have places like this. This is quintessential NYC. And I'm so glad we stopped here. This was just a few blocks from our hotel and looked like it had a lot of great breakfast sandwich options, so we had to try it out. This place literally has everything you could want or need. It's a grocery store mixed with a deli, mixed with a convenient store. We got the Hungry Man and the Giants. And both were really good. The bagels were fresh, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was seared. The service was quick and the guys working were very friendly.

    Salmon Caesar wrap

    Found on yelp! I was a little hesitant to eat lunch here but honestly it is the cleanest deli! I ordered a green juice which was phenomenal and a Caesar salad wrap sub salmon! It was seriously so tasty and hit the spot. They even gave me a mini lays with the wrap! The wrap was wrapped perfectly and the sandwich did not get soggy on my walk home. I love how customizable everything is. Will definitely come back!

    Bacon Egg Cheese on a roll

    Visiting NY for the first time one of the things I was told to get was a Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a roll. While staying in Brooklyn, I did a little search and noticed this was just a 10 min walk from where I was staying. Walking in, its a full blown convenience store and look like they stock some great items, even English chocolate bars and sweets! Ordering was a cinch and very straightforward. Service was also very quick and soon I was walking away with my food. The sandwich was unbelievably good! Even my daughter who doesnt care much for eggs, thoroughly enjoyed it. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was crisp but not shattering to the bite and the cheese was nice and melted in the eggs. So simple yet so good and these guys have it down! I enjoyed it so much I returned two days later for their Ham, sausage, bacon, egg & cheese. Also very good, however, I think I preferred the simplicity of the first.

    The cook was kind, I ordered 5 to bring back to my coworkers in Vegas he was very patient just wish I had known it came with chips and in a big container so I could've saved him the time

    I found this place on Yelp and I am so thankful that I did! The place was clean and well stocked. The food itself was fairly priced and REALLY good!! We got chopped beef sandwiches and they were amazing. I am not from the area but if I was, I'd be a regular here a few times a week, no questions asked. If I ever return to NYC, I will definitely make sure to stop by and get a few sandwiches. I highly recommend!

    BLT

    I enjoy some of the lunch buffet items, but for breakfast sandwiches, not so much. This is the second time I've ordered a BLT and there's literally two pieces of bacon on it. Unacceptable!

    Turkey breakfast sandwich
    Madison P.

    Overall, excellent smoothies, sandwiches, and prices! I was so impressed with this place. I am so picky about breakfast and stress about how I'll get a balanced breakfast when I travel. I returned every day I was there because everything was so delicious and a great price. They had fun drinks, good coffee, and most essential groceries. I had a green smoothie with berries and peanut butter each morning that was to die for and the service was great. Everyone was kind and let me customize what I wanted in my smoothie. Everything looked clean and all of the ingredients looked very fresh.

    the young man here made us immaculate smoothies. had great vibes and service. 10/10 clean deli w healthy snacks.

    Bagel with no cream cheese

    I loved this place and was otherwise a happy loyal patron until today. I asked for bagel toasted with butter and then spread of cream cheese as last time I got a bagel with half cream cheese and half butter which nearly gave me a heart attack from the first bite. The gentleman making the food informed me he wouldn't be able to toast with butter. I kindly let him know then just the cream cheese and no butter. The guy next to him mumbled something under his breath and after asking him what he said he said nothing. I was up the block when I realized I was given a bagel with nothing! Clearly the man behind the counter doesn't like to be told what to do. I walked back and asked for a refund and was given $1 with no apology. This was a clear act of retaliation because I wanted my food a certain way. Again the food is good here but it is as is. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT YOUR FOOD COOKED TO YOUR LIKING!

    Nice, clean deli!!!

    Love, love, love how efficient and clean this deli is! Two cooks, an extensive menu, and a lovely proprietor who keeps the line moving and keeps everyone happy. i also appreciate that i was able to get a halal turkeybaconeggandcheese sandwich on a toasted roll! He even made me theeee PERFECT large tea w/ minimal instruction - 2 creams, 2 sugars. i and my big pregnant belly were so happy!!! i'll happily stop by again and see if i can try a hero next time. It's giving authentic yet elevated bodega vibes and i'm HERE FOR IT.

    Loved our visit to Smiths! It's a one-stop shop. There is a small grocery store in the back while you wait for your fresh deli sandwich (hot or cold) to be made. We ordered the Philly and the pastrami sandwiches (I can't remember exactly the names). One thing that I absolutely loved and what stuck out to me-is that these guys know their stuff! Like 3-4 people came in after us to order and the cook didn't write one thing down-but got everyone's order right! And in a timely fashion! You can't beat that. These guys are pros! The sandwiches themselves were delicious. Flavorful. No offense, but better than sandwiches we had in Manhattan. I'll be adding this to my favs list for the next time we visit the city!

    Half a chopped cheese. Packed with meat/other stuff and free chips.

    If you're in the mood for a late night crave (and I mean any time as they are open 24 hours unlike basically every other place in the area,) this is the best spot. Cheap tasty food (under ten bucks mostly) with sandwiches all served with chips. Also a noted drink selection compared to most places (both soft drinks/water/health drinks) as well as a surprisingly good selection of craft beers and some macrobreweries. The only place I know of with more soft drinks in the area is probably the new location of Dumbo Market further down on Smith. It's one of those places that's really difficult to complain about. Nice guys working here also.

    The New Yorker
    Lucy M.

    This place is a godsend. Open 24/7, with friendly service, reasonable prices, extremely clean, and a killer sandwich selection (it's a bit like the Sunny & Annie's of Brooklyn). I ordered the New Yorker: spicy chicken cutlet, Colby pepper jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, chipotle mayonnaise on hero. I'm not sure the ingredients make me think "New Yorker", but whatever! The sandwich is really freaking good. Moist chicken, not too spicy, crispy bacon - plus it's $9.50 before tax and comes with a bag of chips. Can't beat that.

    An A+ BEC. I like to add a hash brown inside. They also craft an excellent turkey, lettuce, tomato, mayo, on white toast.

    Cute cafe with plenty of seating. I got a drink to go, but the inside was well-lit and…read morewell-decorated. Received the Jasmine Green Tea latte with bubbles. Drinks are standard. Bubbles are good and not stale. Service was fast.

    Cute cafe on the corner with so many options! Ordering is one on large screens along the wall or…read moretablets at the counter. There is bar seating as well as a variety of tables and chairs, making this place ideal for a meet up. I ordered the iced Organic Matcha Milky Strawberry with almond milk, and regular sugar. One thing I liked about these tablets is that it did have some recommended suggestions of what the best milk and sugar level would be for each drink. I found this drink was a little boring and wish I had ordered a topping like cheese foam in addition to it, but was served in a cute plastic mason jar looking cup. My friend got the Creamy Real Taro Paste Bobo with organic oat milk, milk tea and light ice. I had also selected the option to sample the Taro, but sadly was not offered any. This drink was much more exciting and I really enjoyed the unique flavors and texture when I got to try several sips of it. Again, one thing that really stood out was the variety of selections one could make when customizing their drink. This place looks like it has rotating/seasonal options and an interesting food menu as well and so I do plan on returning!
