Felt like a sandwich and ran into this place. It's quiet inside and a descent amount of seating. I walked in and was greeted at the counter. They sell Boar's Head Meat. Good quality meat and the sandwiches are good. I bought the Seattle Club and toasted the sandwich. Overall the meat was good...nice and fresh...great place to eat. I recommend this place to everyone.

My first time getting food here, my mom had an appointment at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and I walked over to get something to eat. The guy was super kind and the sandwich was really good! I got the #5-chipotle chicken bacon sandwich on sourdough bread

My wife and I were walking back to our apartment and decided to stop here to get a quick breakfast. This place is like a mom and pop's store with basic packaged food items, lots of wine, and other refrigerated food items. We were there too early to order from their lunch menu but they had a spread of common breakfast items under hot lamps. Essentially, you select whatever items you want and pay by the pound; with a little extra charge for the bacon. My wife's choices (2 strips of bacon, sausage, 2 biscuits, and a hash brown) came out to about $10.50. Kinda expensive but she did get to pick everything she wanted. My wife enjoyed everything except the sausage. Aside from the food, the employees (perhaps all part of the same family) were friendly and appeared very hard-working. Also the store is extremely clean and organized. This is a nice, convenient place to stop in to get a drink, a bag of chips, or a quick breakfast/lunch to go.

It's a convenient convenience store that is located at the bottom of an apartment building, so if you live nearby you can come by at your convenience for convenient items. Located at the corner of Republican & Pontius under the Stack House Apartments. Came by midday on Saturday because I was in the area, stopped by to get a sandwich and a drink. As mentioned, there are a bunch of convenient items for you to buy, drinks, coffee and food items. There is a deli inside with a coffee bar if you are hungry, and I was. I decided to try one of their sandwiches and got the Seattle Club. It was actually pretty good, you get a choice of bread so I got ciabatta, comes with turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato, bacon and mayo & mustard. You can get the bread toasted as well, so I did. All meats are Boar's Head brand if that matters to you. They do have quite a bit of food items, there's a food bar with hot & cold items, soups, they make sandwiches, all kinds of chips, cookies etc. Place offers some ledge seating along the edge, 2 couches and a couple of tables with some TV's in the background to watch. Prices are pretty average for a sandwich and drink, so yea nothing exciting there. Staff was friendly, worked quickly to get your food made etc. Probably come back for convenience.
