Our Story

A corner deli that
treats every day like
breakfast.

242 Gourmet Deli has been a quiet staple on Central Avenue for years — the kind of place where regulars know the baker by name and the bread still arrives warm. We bake in small batches, order from local farms when we can, and keep the shelves full of the groceries your kitchen actually needs.

Whether you're grabbing a quick sandwich on your way to work, picking up ingredients for dinner, or just stopping in for a coffee — we keep the door open and the counter stocked.

  • Fresh bread baked daily
  • House-made deli sandwiches
  • Full grocery & pantry staples
  • Open seven days a week
