This isn't really a destination place, but it is a really good resource to have in the neighborhood. Ordinarily you walk into a bakery/deli/grocery store in NYC, and the ubiquitous selection of small cookies sold by the pound are dry and tasteless as sawdust. But the cookies here are uniformly really delicious, some of them are positively heavenly. They make a delicate Mexican cinnamon cookie that I eat by the half pound every week, it's a flakey tender pastry with a delicate sweetness. Delicious. I also like the sandwiches here. I'd rather stop here before work in the morning and get a sandwich for lunch (they'll put anything you want on it), and spend $6 in my neighborhood ($6 for turkey with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, mayo, bacon and avocado!!), than spend two or three times as much downtown for something no good. Great danishes and cheesecake also. And when prune plums are in season they make the most fantastic plum cake. This is also the place that introduced me to Hornitas Mexican soda.
