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

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy

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.
