  I just moved to Center City from South Jersey and one of my biggest concerns about this move was my ability to find a decent American hoagie. It's going to sound insane but I hate Wawa and I did not want THAT to be the only way to get a good hoagie.
  
  My apartment is between two delis, this one and another one. Being a big honey lover, the bee logo drew me to this one so I tried it out for my first hoagie craving.
  
  I went in, ordered over the deli counter, and he gave me a post it with the price. I looked around a bit but really I just wanted the hoagie so I turned around to pay and eventually the other person came over for that. Easy stuff.
  
  I noticed that the guy sliced the meats for the sandwich fresh. This wasn't no typical setup where there is sliced meat chilling in a container waiting for someone to order a sandwich and then the dude grabs a hunk of sliced meat and throws it down. This guy sliced up the meat and made the sandwich with it and I could tell I was getting a hoagie made with love. He handed it over when he was done, I took it home, and I unwrapped it. It was beautiful. I took a bite and realized that the lettuce was romaine not wilted sliced up iceberg. The roll was soft. Everything tasted so fresh!
  
  As of now, this is my go-to American hoagie spot. I am always on the lookout for a dope hoagie so I might try some of the others anyway since lucking out on my first choice feels so weird. But at least I know I can get a good hoagie in the city!

  My boyfriend just moved to Center City, and we woke up one morning needing a hangover cure...aka a breakfast sandwich. After doing some searching on Yelp, we decided to try this deli out because it was less than a block away from his house. Knowing there was no shot I'd be able to stand in a deli waiting for a sandwich, I called in our order ahead of time. When we walked into the deli, it was more than I expected - it's actually a little corner store! The breakfast sandwich was pretty good and now we know where to go if we need anything random for the house.

  This review is also on google:
  I like this place for my basic needs. As for food, I would not recommend unless you check the expiration date. I've experience  two times when I went in there to buy the garden pasta in the fridge and some other Asian food only to get home and realize it was had expired for a long time! One product was 2 weeks and the other was a few months. Of course the owner was kind enough to accept my return but his first question after I told him the product was expire was, "did you taste it?". As if to resell again? So unless one wants to get food poisoning go for it and eat up!

  I frequent this store alot and their staff is super friendly and they work very hard to please each person they serve.  I did order a cheese/crackers/lunch meat party tray and i have to tell you it was the finest selection of really good cheese/crackers & the meat was good. :) they do an assortment of trays at a fair price and offer delivery.  Their fruit trays are equally impressive.
