“Food pantry is a nice little spot. Friendly spanish people at the grill and register, and an indian man at the register today. They have fresh food ready to take and run, fresh cut fruit, some fancy juices and coconut milk drinks, hot sandwiches ready and wrapped, bacon egg and cheese, taylor ham, turkey egg and cheese, etc, fried chicken, fried potatoes, onions and pepper, empanadas, real food, the eggs are actual eggs, not slime from a carton or preformed hockey pucks. They have a nice tea and coffee setup, and the prices are better than quick check/ dunkin etc. There’s good access to the parking lot and there’s an air pump and vacuum, although not free. Good so far!! Oh, and the sign says the grill opens at 5am. Yay! And i got lettuce, tomato and onion put on my sandwich today, all freshly cut and in good shape, and the lady had gloves. Great. Try them out. Update: 1 pm on Feb 17, 2025 Still a good spot to go. I butchered the name last time. This is Pantry 1 food mart. I noticed today they have 3 tables to sit and eat inside. Food is hot and ready, also they cook to order. Grill opens at 5 am. The people were still friendly and the grill person still had gloves. ??”
