I really enjoyed everything I tried so far. They were some of the best chocolate chip cookies I ever had. The guy behind the counter, maybe the owner, was super sweet. I will definitely go back. Highly recommend this place after someone else recommended it to me. PS Everything is made in house (per the guy behind the counter/owner) and it definitely was super yummy.

This is by far one of the better corner stores you can stop at when heading into Manhattan…read more They have seating available so you can actually sit down while you order your food, which already makes it more comfortable than most spots like this. They also accept EBT and offer a range of options for different diets, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices, which is a big plus. Prices are pretty reasonable, so overall it hits that balance of comfort and affordability--something that really matters if you're getting by in Manhattan and just need a solid, quick meal. The food itself felt fresh--no off smells, no signs of poor handling, nothing like that. You can tell it's well-run. Shoutout to the Bangladeshi-owned family behind it; the customer service was genuinely solid. They also have a TV inside, usually playing cricket, which adds a nice cultural touch. Even if you're not familiar with the sport, it gives the place a bit of character and makes it feel more welcoming than your typical corner store.

So I came back 10 minutes later. They cooked me up a satisfying egg, sausage and cheese sandwich on a roll. I told them to surprise me with the cheese. They chose mozzorella. It hit the spot. They do charge a little extra for using a credit card. Maybe $.20 or so. And a little extra for the mozz. Not a big deal. I would definitely go again.

It's now 1:06pm...Nothing. . We clearly have a different understanding of this thing called "time".... I don't know how long they think a typical lunch period is....Generally 30minutes by law in NY How they expect a customer to eat with the delivery taking about an hour, and they're across the street !?!?!? I placed this order for delivery, to save time from walking back and forth; ..Not to kill my entire lunch period and then some !! By 1:11pm I finally got my order....The delivery guy was given a incomplete phone number (pic included), which the guy didn't bother verifying with me when I called to order or called back the second time....Ridiculous... I even asked to be called with that number upon arrival ...Wtf?! No credit card receipt too... The poor guy was like, can you write tip please...Feel bad for the delivery guy You guys suck for making something so simple into all this nonsense. Never call you for delivery again...Sheesshh...smh On top of all this....There was a hair in the sandwich....Just eeww Food wise: The torta sandwich was great until I found hair in it while eating it, Other wise, its a big sandwich...Delicious., until it got gross.... The other pros: minimum for delivery and credit card usage is $5... They cook the breakfast menu all day

So much so that I ventured downtown from West 71st St (they once resided on West 72nd) to have a slice...or two! It did not disappoint, still delicious and worth the trip.

I was staying nearby and visited this diner twice, both times after eating elsewhere and still…read morefeeling like I had room for more food. Located a block from Washington Square Park, the diner is just outside the southern exit of the A/C/E metro stop. Interestingly, there's another diner outside the northern metro exit, Waverly Diner. I went there last year and I give Wash. Sq. Diner a slight nod, mostly because they have daily specials. The staff is primarily Spanish-speaking. They are quick, fairly attentive and fairly friendly. The diner does charge extra for using a credit card. The menu is HUGE (7 pages),and as said previously, there usually is a separate menu with the day's specials. My first visit I ordered from the "weekend dinner specials" menu, Romanian steak and shrimp combo. It came with soup (5 choices), salad (choice of dressing), potato (several choices), vegetable (several choices) and a roll. I chose a decent matzo ball soup. The salad had more ingredients than expected, like red onions and bell pepper. The steak I think was a hangar steak, decently prepared. The shrimp were fileted and topped with a stuffing that was mostly bread, with a few chunks of seafood that seemed more like smaller shrimp than crab. My potato was baked, fine. My veg was fresh broccoli, simply steamed. A lot of food! My second meal was a grilled cheese sandwich. There were 5 cheese choices (I chose cheddar) and bread choices. I added tomato, bacon and onion rings on the side. A small cup of slaw was included. The sandwich was quite expertly grilled with a good melty cheese pull. The onion rings seemed house-made, not frozen. Delish. The West Village is full of acclaimed, crowded, hard-to-get-into restaurants, but sometimes a "simple" diner is all you need, and Wash. Sq. Diner does the trick.

Would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

The bread used in these was particularly outstanding- similar to a focaccia. The mortadella reminded me a bit of salami, which I really enjoyed.

A perfect spot for a casual lunch--I'll definitely be back.
