| - Best local convenience store in the valley! If you live in North Scottsdale, this should be your go-to place. Run by a family from Detroit, this store is one of those old-school places where everybody knows everyone's names; even when I don't go so often, they still remember my name at the counter! Tell me.... is there any other convenience store where they actually know your name when you walk in??? no. there is only one place, and this is it. The service here is absolutely amazing - you will walk out every single time with a smile on your face. I actually look forward to going there sometimes, if only to get a soda or lottery ticket, just because of the friendly ambiance. Now to more important things: the sandwiches. You would never expect this place, based on the outside appearance, to have one of the very best delis in town. They have a rather large sandwich menu, and use only Boar's Head meats and cheeses. Best part - they bake their own bread daily and omg it is so good! Their breakfast croissants are amongst the best I have ever had (so flakey and buttery!) and their sub rolls are just excellent. Sometimes I stop by to just get some sub rolls, if I have leftovers at home to make sammys with. The three sandwiches I recommend the most are the: beefstrami (hot beef and pastrami melt, mmmm), chicken Caesar (it's light and refreshing), and my personal fav - The Shane Doan. Named after the legendary Phoenix Coyotes captain, who is a regular at the store (he often stops by with Mike Smith and Kurt Warner even!), the sandwich that bears his name used to be "the upside down roast beef"... basically a beef melt. I always add a piece of cheese to it, and I love how they prepare it and top it with fresh green pepper and mustard. It really is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had.
I can't recommend this store enough - and that is solely based on the owners, as people and as businessmen - they really nailed it when it comes to neighbourhood convenience. Go for a sandwich and I guarantee you will be hooked.
Tell them Istvan sent you and say hi to Marty for me!
