This is not just a great place for wines and spirits, but also a fantastic niche store with cheeses and sandwiches. Great stop for lunch!
FRESH ALTERNATIVE AWARD CLEAN DELI AWARD ?I visited this tiny delicatessen with a longtime bestie. We stopped by May 15th-a sleepy sunny Sunday afternoon around 2:15 pm. The shop was not busy, but steady.It’s located on West Lake street in the center of Minneapolis, and holds some of the finest freshest tastes you’ll find anywhere. The secret here are the original owners’ recipes, which were curated over time. A liquor store is attached as well. We didn’t go in, but apparently they have a large selection of different liquors.A small hole-in-the-wall with traditional meats and a huge selection of different cheeses, olives, marinated mushrooms, specialty nuts, jams, jellies, bbq sauces, specialty crackers, coffees, drinkables, and water crackers. They also have fudge for your sweet tooth!Obscure selections keep you on your toes!Huge chalkboard shows you all the sandwich selections, and their daily specials. A tiny table with 2 chairs is a quaint place to wait for your order-and be ready to wait a little bit, because everything is made fresh for you, once you order. You don’t just get a pre-made sammich that’s been laying there for hours!We ordered 2 sandwiches: The Club, which was ham & turkey piled high with cheddar and arugula & a special mayonnaise with thinly sliced red onions and tomato on steamed ciabatta bread. Also we ordered the Ham & Jal, Ham, cheddar, arugula and tomatoes with a spicy homemade jalapeño jelly on steamed ciabatta bread. Both sandwiches were amazingly delicious and the bread warm and wonderful. YummmmmWe complimented our meals with a couple selections of “Uglies” brand potato chips, we chose BBQ and Jalapeño flavors. They were great! Just as good or better than the regular brands.Well folks lemme tell ya: this is a diamond in the rough and you’d best try it out if you’re in the area. Neighborhood is bouncing back strong after a tough couple years and it shows. New updates, new feel to the area. Minneapolis once again does not disappoint!We also picked up some ‘sample cheeses’ small inexpensive cutoffs from the larger hunks of cheese just right to grab a few and take home for a cheese plate taste-test. I grabbed a container of marinated mushrooms (sorry no pic- they were so good they were inhaled)! These mushrooms popped in your mouth, you could tell they were so fresh. And the marinade! SO GOOD.Everything was so noticeably fresh that each bite was a pleasure!I will be back - because I need to try more of their freshly made sandwiches.Service presented nicely wrapped in white butcher paper. Very clean tasting. Friendly and efficient staff.Prices were around $10 for each meal.WTP AWARD ✅Highly recommended! We WILL be back!
I came in late, card declined. They let me grab my other card at 9:57, my car was next to the door so it literally just turned 9:58 as I was coming back and the security said it was 10. My phone's not gonna be wrong about the time and my watch is a minute ahead, it was not 10 and my stuff was already rang up, dude literally saw me come in the first time run out and run back within a minute from the register, and they were still ringing people up behind him so if my sale is currently open on the register it's not like its shut down... I just came from work so I know how it looks when everyone is tired and wanna go home but I literally just gave better service to people all day at my job I just wish people acted like they wanted my money too, I guess I don't get paid enough either so why do I complain even.
Thy Highlord Majesty KING Sultan Emperor of the Nine Realms himself went here for lunch today to try the sandwiches with a friend.. who also happens to be a girl.. well a ravishing woman rather you but we'll save the details for my next review *cough* long story short.. THESE ARE THE BEST SANDWICHES IN ALL THE LANDS (Best in the Universe actually). MIND BLOWN!
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place before! I’ve been a regular customer over the 11ish years I’ve lived in uptown. I have never once had an experience that was less than stellar!Lots of dog lovers here, and even one cashier always and I mean always remembers how many dogs I have, regardless if they’re with me or not and sends treats with me home even!The cheese shop is also bar none, one of my most favorite happy places. Employees clearly have a passion for quality and customer service.My dogs literally tug me into here as soon as we get close by.
Great beer selection from locals to non-Midwest beers, Trappists, imperial stouts, etc. Cute sandwich shop as you walk in too… the only thing is one of the guys working there was completely rude about their bathroom not being available to the public since Covid… still a good city liquor store that doesn’t feel trashy.
I absolutely love the Heidi Ho sandwich here. At some point I should try their other sandwiches but I just can't help but order the Heidi Ho every time. One of the best sandwiches in the city, at a steal of a price with friendly service.
Way over priced, one of the most expensive in south MPLS, my friends needed something and I advised no, they were in hurry spent $5 for one bottle of same size/brand as elsewhere
Excellent selection including some fantastic rarities, knowledgeable staff, wide variety
Some pretty good deals here! It can make Costco seem overpriced, now that’s saying something!
