I also sampled the cannoli and even though I'm not a cannoli person I must admit they were very tasty - delicate, fresh cookie and light ricotta filling.

I love the flavor, the crust was nice and crunchy, the sauce was delish, it overall was great, it left a great impression on us. We came after lunch and a lot of their items where sold out. Looks like it's family owned and the staff was so nice and welcoming. We will come back for sure.

It's a freaking gas station, uHaul rental location, and deli. Cuz obviously. You walk in you get greeted like an old buddy, people were just walking in and out the door like "hey Sue, how's the kids" or "could you put a couple of the Polish sausages off to the side for me? I have to meet a client but I'll be back either today or first thing tomorrow?" Like seriously, when was the last time you heard of a business setting aside produce on a person's word? The gas station is just a gas station, but the deli is sterile. The roll was fresh and soft and the pile of roast beef and provelone was so huge it's 2, sometimes 3 bites wide, and I do not have a small mouth! Nom Nom Nom 10/10 will Nom again

But do not rent a rent a truck from there unless you are desperate .99 a mile is ridiculous I guess he makes up for maybe the lack of customers that come into the store and the gas prices aren't cheap either.

I recently discovered The Rustic Sandwich Deli and couldn't be happier that it's close to my office. Finally, there's a fantastic spot for a quick and satisfying lunch. I've tried the roast beef sandwich, my favorite, as well as the chicken sandwich and the Swiss tuna sandwich (on different days, of course ). Each one was absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring that every visit is enjoyable and that everything is just right. It's clear they take great pride in their food and service. For anyone looking for a tasty meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend The Rustic Sandwich Deli. read more

Lots of parking in the lot, not much going on around however definitely worth checking out if you're craving something good breakfast or a sandwich. The establishment isn't too big however they do offer some benches and a few areas where you can enjoy your food, most people seem to place an order for take out. They are cashless, and have a cute gender neutral restroom. I went with their Jersey special breakfast sandwich and added egg to it, wow so delicious, being from NJ myself I'm always looking for a great Taylor ham sandwich without having to visit back up north.. my fiancé got their Cheech & Chong and loved it! My son and his gf had the Wally's cheesesteak and Sedona sunrise and both VERY GOOD. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The breakfast was very underwhelming and nothing to write home about. It also came out cold, which is where the BAF comes into play. I did have our waitress nuke my dish and deliver me fresh bacon, as the first strips were soggy, but even doing so could the items not come out fast enough to have the ceiling turbine beat. Even my dad's double toasted bagel came out cold. And they were not busy Speaking of our waitress... At least she was attentive and never missed a beat to top off my coffee. Overall...it's a one n done for me. I got God on my side because I know that His SON Jesus Christ died for my sins.

Let's talk smoothies first. The Inland Bliss, Sunrise Bay and Paradise Seeker were on repeat for me the entire week. No sugar added, just pure blended fruit and ice. For breakfast one morning I had the Jersey Special on a baguette and I haven't had a breakfast sandwich like that since being back home in New York. Fried egg, Taylor ham, bacon, hash brown and cheese. I'm still dreaming about it. For lunch I had the turkey and provolone on a croissant and was completely blown away. Simple, flavorful and absolutely delicious. My fiancé had the tuna melt one day and loved every bite. I also tried the French onion soup and it was soooooo yum. What made every single visit even better was Anna and Uglus (I hope I spelled that right). They welcomed me back every time like I was a regular and that kind of warmth is everything when you're away from home. The place is cute and quaint. Definitely somewhere you can bring your laptop to and get some work done. I wish I had something like this back in my hometown.
