*** Shop with CAUTION *** Honestly, shop anywhere else. I've experienced price gouging here based on what staff assume you'll pay. On my visit, the guy at the counter tried to charge me $3 for an item. I'd been in the day before and watched a younger employee scan the same item at $2.25. When I asked this guy to actually scan it instead of just quoting a price, he said "we changed the price." I asked "yesterday?" and pushed him to scan it — it rang up at $2.25. I left and will not be back as I don't conduct business with individuals who profile their customers and make shopping an overall uncomfortable and agitating experience. If you are shopping for drinks or snacks, try "East Street Grocery and Foods" super close by (with better parking too). The woman who helped me there was super friendly, and the price listed is the price you will pay.

Be sure to double check the expiration dates for their products. The customer service is great but I have encountered expired products a time or two. Edit: One of the definite redeeming qualities of the deli is that they make affordable, delicious, and fresh breakfast sandwiches. $4.99 for a sandwich is a bargain and it tastes great.
Amazing service. Amazing sandwiches. Chopped Cheese!! A must visit to Akbar and his shop. You’re welcome!
I was skeptical because it is a convenience store but the reviews don’t lie! The steak and cheese sandwich was so damn good, super fresh ingredients and tasty. All only for $7! This has become my go to spot for a hot sub.
I love this place. Reasonably priced (and delicious) breakfast sandwiches and coffee is so hard to come by and I love stopping by for food and coffee before work or on a lazy weekend morning. Aside from the food, prices, and convenience of the many groceries and household items they have my favorite part about Vintage Deli is the friendliness and warmth of the two brothers behind the counter — it’s really always a joy to stop by. Highly recommend!
