Mini Gourmet Deli is a new walk-up coffee and juice stand on 14th Street

Mini Gourmet Deli recently debuted at 230 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

The sidewalk-facing food-and-coffee stand reminds us of the classic Mike's Coffee & Deli on 32nd Street between Park and Madison.

Here, you can grab a coffee ($2 for a small; $2.69 for a large), fresh-squeezed juice, smoothies, and fruit salads, among other items ...
They also offer empanadas, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and chicken sandwiches. 

Prices are reasonable. A cheeseburger with caramelized onions, pickles, American cheese and "smack sauce" is $5.99. The big ticket item is the chicken saute (chicken, onions, jalapeños, sweet red peppers, and herbs sauteed in butter and oil over basmati rice with salad and sauces for $12.49).

There isn't any website or social media at the moment. There's always the phone: (646) 370-3418.

Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

This space has been vacant for a few years, with PJ's Grocery the last tenant.
