Mike’s Coffee and Deli is little more than a hole in the wall, but they make really good breakfast, so if you’re in the area, it’s absolutely worth stopping by.
The place has been part of the neighborhood for years and functions as a regular stop for locals, people on their way to work, and the occasional tourist who’s been tipped off. There’s often a long line, but the vibe is relaxed and the staff are friendly and chatty, which makes the wait feel shorter than it actually is.
We ordered a classic breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was big enough to share and exactly what you want in a breakfast sandwich. Simple, but really good. We took it to go and ate it a little further down the street, sipping our coffee from Lucid. A great start to the morning and a solid choice for breakfast to go.
