| - Would not have found this place if it wasn't for Yelpers -- I drove by here so many times and never noticed it along a fairly nondescript strip of run down storefronts...
Given the reviews, I went over at 9:35am on Saturday (they open at 9:30) and was surprised to find the door locked. Because I waited way past my normal breakfast time to come here, I was persistent, peering and knocking on the glass door...
Soon, J came -- he's pretty chilled -- opened the door and the blinds, and then everything unfolded exactly as other Yelpers' described -- fantastic scratch made food served up by very friendly owners. M brought us our coffees (pretty great, freshly made) while we waited for our breakfasts. A couple of neighborhood people came and ordered take out. I got the breakfast sandwich ($4) and my husband got the traditional breakfast with pastrami, two eggs, hash brown and toast ($8). Wow, I've never had bacon that tasted like what was on my sandwich! I don't know how to describe it except you know it's made with love. My husband devoured his plate even though he's normally not a pastrami guy, this was not like the normal pastrami but in chunks. You can see the grain so you know it's good meat, and even the jam was home made. Not only was the quality of the food really high, the portions were pretty generous for the price. Since I love bagels, I couldn't resist the freshly baked bagels ($1) and took one to go for later.
We'll definitely come back to this gem. Everyone in the neighborhood, please support this great little place so we can keep M&J going!
