Belle’s Delicatessen & Bar turns the beloved Belle’s Bagels pop-up into a full-on Jewish deli and nighttime hangout, with double-fermented bagels, hefty pastrami sandwiches, and cocktails like the pickle martini. The room blends vintage memorabilia with a busy bar, making it as good for a late-night Reuben as a brunchy bacon-egg-and-cheese.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel, Reuben, Westlake Sandwich
What Makes it Special: An all-day Jewish deli where serious bagel sandwiches meet a real bar.

Bright, cozy interiors and a leafy patio draw steady lines of families, veg-forward eaters, and neighborhood regulars.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tempeh Reuben Sandwich, Jo's Breakfast Sandwich, Avocado TLT

The Highland Cafe is a neighborhood standby where locals fuel up on strong coffee, hefty breakfast burritos, and classic breakfast sandwiches. Skateboards on the wall, a casual crowd, and dog-friendly sidewalk seating make it a relaxed, slightly scruffy spot for a quick York Boulevard sandwich stop.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bacon Egg & Cheese Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito, Cali Burrito with Rojo Fries
What Makes it Special: A laid-back cafe with legitimately craveable breakfast sandwiches and burritos.
