Delightful BLTA, Sadly Closed
Unfortunately, this place is permanently closed as of August 2025. However, on a previous visit on 5/28/25, I had a BLTA (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Avocado on wheat), and it was delightful! I still love this place and this deli.
The staff is friendly, the ingredients are superior, and the service is fast at reasonable prices.
