    This is in one of those corner stores that look generic but is a hidden gem. We stayed at the Parc 55 Hilton and Mellis is located right on the corner. We ordered a two bagel sandwiches, coffee and tea. The bagels went toe to toe with other famous bagel spots. I had an everything with bacon, egg and avocado. Seriously hit the spot! I went back later for a carrot cake and devoured it within minutes. Such a sleeper - so worth the stop!

    Walking around looking for breakfast. We were going to go to McDonald's and looked across the street at this cute little hole in the wall breakfast and bakery spot. The bakery items were beautiful and the breakfast sandwiches we got were delicious. We got cream cheese, tomato and cucumber on a sesame bagel and a ham and cheese on a croissant. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

    MOLD IN MY GRAPES!!! unbelievable. Also, everything was unbelievably expensive!!!! Good selection, but that doesn't really matter when all of it is sitting out all day in the sun. We got a ham and cheese bagel and it was standard. This is a small nitpick, but the top of the yogurt was dirty. I still ate it.

    Great selection of items especially if you want a late night snack. They are also open pretty early if you need to grab something during your morning commute.

    Turkey sandwich with no bacon no avocado even tho they charged me for it and I waited 30 minutes

    Saw the reviews and decided to stop by for a visit this morning while in town for outside lands asked for a turkey bacon avocado was up charged just to get to my hotel and see they didn't add any of the toppings I paid for very disappointed honestly especially after waiting 40 minutes for my food walking back to my hotel and realizing they messed up my order kinda sucked !!

    Close proximity to our hotel, fast service, and good coffee. There was an assortment of pastry choices, I had the cheese danish and it was delicious. A good spot to grab and go.

    Great sandwiches! A rather large selection of items, hot and cold sandwiches, baked items. The baklava and cookies looked delicious! Coffee tasted great! The couple there was very friendly

    This little bodega makes way better coffee and breakfast than I could ever have imagined. Great fresh baked goods and excellent sandwiches. Prices were great as well and the coffee was fresh and tasty! Limited seating but we were able to enjoy our breakfast while most grab and go. They've got a lot to offer for such a small place very impressive! Would definitely come back!

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    When I first tried Irving Subs (years ago!), I got the November sandwich on Dutch crunch and recall…read moreliking it - well-portioned for the cost, sweet/savory combo (sliced turkey, cranberry sauce, white cheddar, thick cut bacon). Back then, there were sliced cucumbers in the sandwich. I finally returned again recently and tried the Giants sandwich (turkey, cheddar, thick cut bacon, avocado) and Goodfellas (salami, mild coppa, prosciutto, provolone, pesto sauce). The Goodfellas was a bit too salty with the meats + pesto sauce. I think more lettuce/tomatoes/red onions and slightly less meats would've helped balance it out better. I had requested extra red onions, but it looked like the same amount as the other sandwich we got with no extra onions. Also was not a big fan of their pesto. We both preferred the Giants, which was relatively more balanced, but it was still not a very exciting sandwich. The primary flavor was salt, with only a few bites of sourness from the pickles, yet it also gave the overall impression of blandness. The house garlicky mayo didn't have any noticeable garlicky-ness. I also couldn't taste any of the brown mustard or house vinaigrette. The Dutch crunch bread was quite dry and both thin and dense. It looked so good in the pics since it's so stacked with colorful ingredients, but it did not pull through in terms of flavor. Halfway through I was just eating it to fill my belly with sustenance rather than enjoying it (though I didn't hate it either). Prices still seem pretty reasonable for the portion size; that would probably be the main draw for me if I ever return again. Maybe I will give the November sandwich one more shot next time.

Fear of Mission Out. The sandwiches are in high demand. The line on a Saturday that went from the intersection, around the fridge section, to the cashier took about 15 minutes and the sandwich took another 15. Both sandwiches were filling and fresh. We got hot ones with toasted bread. The couch potato with crispy pancetta was good, but American cheesier than expected. The preferable lemon pepper chicken sandwich was bright, flavorful, and tangy, with more dimension. I don't know if it's my favorite sandwich, but certainly top five. I give them five stars, however, because everyone was unpretentious and super nice, the sandwich artist is a machine, they have unique items, and they only charge $1.25 for a can of soda. As for the fresh chocolate chip cookies, my wife liked them. I didn't understand the hype. They were fudgey and doughy, so I guess if you like eating cookie dough you'll love them. We bought enough to have one as an appetizer and one for dessert.
