Dessert choices

Don't blink as you may miss this deli which serves up some great lunch boxed sandwiches. They offer several choices of house sides to go along and some yummy desserts. They close early so plan ahead.

Counter/ordering area with lunchbox decor.

Fresh ingredients, great desserts, cute decor. The proprietor helped me avoid the foods I couldn't eat because of allergies. Nice serving sizes. It's small so maybe avoid peak lunch times. Open until 3 p.m.

Today's Special. Boom Boom Shrimp Wrap.

Great Localy owned Breakfast and Lunch spot. I had Today's Special which was the Boom Boom Shrimp Wrap. There was definitely some Boom to it. You got the nice Sweet 1st then the Boom. It came with a fresh side or chips. I got the Chips but the fresh sides included Coleslaw, pasta salad, and potato salad which all look good. Wife got the 1/2 Sandwich and Broccoli and Cheese Soup and both were good. We also got a Oreo Smash dessert. And well definitely pick out one of her homemade desserts for a treat.

I've heard great things about TLD for a while now, especially for their custom cakes. And while I still haven't had the chance to try that, was nearby and decided to finally pop in. It was just a bit after 10am, and I was celebrating having dropped my last one to start school off at preschool! Ah, so many freed up hours of alone time to try all the places and do all the things. Just kidding, so many hours I can now actually focus on my job. But today I took a detour and started late to celebrate (and because I was running an errand after drop off, but that sounds more lame). TLD is in a strip with a gas station, so doesn't give the idea of a great place, but get past that. The decor is cute and welcoming, and the woman working today (owner?) was friendly and moved at a quick pace. She welcomed me, asked if I knew what I wanted and then if I'd been before. She let me know that they had the pastries in the case or bagel sandwiches, and lunch would start being served at 10:30. I chose an everything bagel with ham and cheese, and it had a good amount of each on a chewy bagel. It was under $4 so priced fair. I also ordered a coffee, which they offer with a multitude of syrups, but I added cream only. It was hot and fresh. I took a few treats home, three cake pops (for kids) and a banana pudding (for me), all of which were very good and worth the splurge. Another person entered while she was helping me, and started to look at the menu, but was told that not everything there was available. She gave her the same options as me, but added in a grits casserole (that she either forgot to mention to me or I didn't hear). I wish I had known that option and definitely would have tried it. I'll be back to try lunch, and just wish breakfast had more options.

I think it's pretty safe to say that if there was ever a contest for the "chain restaurant capital of America," Orange Park, Florida (or even Jacksonville as a whole) would be an easy frontrunner. Low quality, flavorless food chains offering sub-par (or worse) service seem to be in high abundance. So when I moved here, it was complete culture shock...where i come from (Hawaii), it's the exact opposite. Chain establishments are often shunned by locals (there's only ONE Popeyes, ONE Wendy's ONE Dunkin Donuts...or used to be, I think it's gone now) in favor of the mom and pop run establishments. They just offer fresher, high quality food, and they are grateful for your business and SHOW it. Major difference. However, once in a while i stumble across a hidden gem in this large city, one I've driven past 100 times and never looked twice at. Well that was my mistake, because turns out I've been missing out on some really great food! The Lunchbox Deli, Yeeps. Orange Park area, across from the hospital. It's kinda hidden by the gas station, so you gotta slow down a little or you'll pass it. Small joint, but very clean and charming on the inside. They also have outside seating if you prefer. Behind the counter you will see every baking accessory known to man (kitchenaid stand mixers, dozens of different baking pans, kitchen tools I've never seen before, etc.), which is GOOD, because that's a clear indication that most, if not everything, is made in-house. I learned that this is a family-owned, local business, so that's a bonus for me. Food: The menu isn't overbearingly extensive, yet pretty much covers all the bases. They have a breakfast and lunch menu...with a vast array of items to satisfy both veg-os (I mean...vegetarians) and carnivores alike. I was there for breakfast, and upon thorough examination, one menu item in particular said "Pick me! Pick meeee!" The corned beef bagel sandwich. Fresh in-house corned beef and bubbly melted swiss on your choice of toasted bagel. I went with the asiago cheese. While I was waiting, i canvassed the dessert case, which held, at the minimum, a dozen different flavors of home-made cake pops. The cinnamon bread pudding loaf looked equally inviting, especially when I learned that it is served with a caramel dipping sauce. I know, right? The bagel sandwich was even better than I expected. The freshness of the meat really came through and paired exceptionally well with both bagel and melted cheese. Loved it, want another, and soon. Wrap Up: I believe it would benefit both parties greatly if you would give this joint a visit. The owner also informed me that they make cakes for special occasions and cater. Demitri (the kid in the family-owned business) was also very friendly, so shout out to you!

Went in today and had the gourmet chicken salad, and I was super excited to try it. It was good, not amazing. I hadn't been in this deli in years, so I asked a few questions about things (while I was the only person in the place) and the owner came off a little rude, as if I was annoying her. The last thing I want is to go in a privately owned business, that I want to support, and feel like I'm bothering someone by asking a few simple questions. I got the raspberry mint tea and all I taste is mint, so I don't like that, and my sandwich had a pickle with it that looks very old, smushed and small, so that's something going right in the trash. The whole experience wasn't great, I doubt I'll be going back.

Lemon blueberry cake!
Lydia B.

Finally got a chance to come today. The owner and chef/baker is so nice and talented! We enjoyed delicious soup sandwiches and chicken salad. Not to mention the dessert!! Cinnabon bread pudding and an amazing lemon blueberry cake! For sure will be a lunch stop from now on!!!!

Red Velvet custom cake made for my daughter's baby shower was absolutely delicious.
Kathy H.

Chicken salad is so good! And the cake she made for my daughter's baby shower was absolutely beautiful, and delicious.

Chicken salad sandwich

The rudest service ever. Went there for lunch carry out for my coworkers and me. The lady, who is the owner, is so rude and unprofessional. Upon checking out, there was a misunderstanding with whose sandwich belonged to whom. She decides in a room full of people to announce that because I couldn't figure out whose sandwich belonged to whom, that she had to redo the whole order. This is not true she called out my coworkers name and I gave her the card. It turned out to be the wrong name. Written on the side of the bag was the wrong name as well . You do not spell CheRie like Shaneese. We have gone several times and like the food. But, if you are that busy get help Treat your Customer's with respect. We won't be going back. I can get a blt at Grumpys and they are soo nice there

Greek salad served with rotten iceberg lettuce and a piece of onion skin.
Pam D.

Awful- for almost $11 I was served a Greek salad with rotten lettuce, and onion skin, and one tiny scoop of chicken salad. The salad was undersized and the meal was underwhelming.

We went to celebrate my son going off to college and instead felt like we were being an inconvenience to our server all night. Top this off, the food was just okay and not what we are used to. Mind you my wife is an Italian citizen and we have lived in Europe. It was the first time we have ever had a Spaghetti Carbonara with mushrooms in it, but also my son should have read the menu in more detail before ordering. Again we felt like an inconvenience so rushed a little. Many give this place high reviews, so try for yourself, but we will not return.
