This hidden gem is a deli perfect for breakfast and lunch. I had the 2 egg breakfast with hash browns and toast, with OJ. Super. It was delicious! It's great because there's no wait, and the service is immediate. A great go-to sit down restaurant for that timed work lunch hour.

Unassuming place, but the AM Sandwich is phenomenal! Simple breakfast sandwich, but done oh-so-well. Best I've had in years. Great place to grab breakfast if you are getting your tires fixed at Rolling Stock nearby.

Stopped in to this Korean owned/operated cafe for a quick breakfast run for some coworkers this morning. Located in a heavy industrial area, I can see this being an easy go to for breakfast/lunch for workers in the area. The space itself was pretty large, well lit, organized and clean. The menu includes traditional American breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers and Korean fare. My coworkers ordered ham and cheese omelettes with a side of sausage and I had the special AM sandwich. The food was prepared fresh hot in less than 10 minutes! My sandwich was the perfect size with a sausage patty and freshly pan fried eggs stuffed between perfectly toasted/buttered English muffin bread. Simple, quick, fresh and easy. Can't ask for more!
