Got a real good coffee/bakery joint for you guys to check-out, Frida Coffee & Deli in Coral Springs.

Real short story to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and Daughter Jeff Eats “discovered” Frida Coffee & Deli and I gotta tell you- real good stuff! Handful of inside & outside tables, reasonably priced coffees/ teas/ smoothies/ breakfast items/ sandwiches/ salads/ baked goods/ wraps/ empanadas/ quiche menu, open Monday-Friday 7:30am-5pm/ Saturday 9am-3pm/Sunday 9am-1pm.

If you guys can keep a little secret- I really enjoyed Frida Coffee & Deli. A “pleasant” change from the Florida bagel joints and mom & pop diners that I normally frequent!

Let’s wrap-uo Frida Coffee & Deli by saying, that you can check menu/prices/info at fridacoffeeanddeli.com.

***** Poppies Restaurant & Delicatessen, 4900 Linton Boulevard, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 (561) 498-4900.

Poppies is a New York “kosher style” deli. Poppies plays” in the same South Florida market as Too-Jays, 3G’s Deli, Gourmet Deli (just to name a few)… not to mention every neighborhood bagel joint.

Poppies is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Poppies in addition to its sit-down business, does a tremendous amount of take-out and catering.

I am sure that you have a favorite South Florida– New York “kosher style” deli joint.

Trust me on this, Poppies is right up there with the best of them. Very good food…Very good prices…Terrific menu selection…Large/attractive looking joint with an excellent appetizing department.

* Humor!

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead are stuck on an island.

One day, the three of them are walking along the beach and discover a magic lamp.

They rub and rub, and sure enough, out pops a genie.

The genie says, “Since I can only grant three wishes, you may each have one.”

The brunette says, “I’ve been stuck here for years. I miss my family, my husband, and my life.

I just want to go home.” POOF!

The brunette gets her wish and she is returned to her family.

Then, the red head says, “I’ve been stuck here for years as well. I miss my family, my husband, and my life.

I wish I could go home too.” POOF!

The redhead gets her wish and she is returned to her family.

The blonde starts crying uncontrollably.

The genie asks, “My dear, what’s the matter?”

The blonde whimpers, “I wish my 2-friends were still here.”

This contest started on 4/19/24. This contest has a winner.

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that I know my Grandma Pizzas- and that Vinny’s Grandma Pizza absolutely kills! I also know my “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints- and I’m telling you guys, Vinny’s Pizza is right-up there with Florida’s best players!

***** Vinny’s Pizza, 6671 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter, Florida 33458, (561) 575-5445.

For our purposes we’re gonna call Vinny’s Pizza an “out of sight out of mind” mom & pop red sauce Italian joint…

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Vinny’s Pizza on November 3, 2010…truth be told, hadn’t been back “until” last night when Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats stopped in for a Grandma Pizza and an obscene amount of Coke and Diet Coke. By the way, I’m kinda thinking the sole reason for the long-absence, the freaking joint is 86 miles round-trip from Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton residence!

Long story short, absolute dynamite Grandma Pizza!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats loved Vinny’s in 2010 and loved it again in 2016- with all things being equal, the next “love” is gonna be sometime in 2022! Hey, an 86 mile round-trip, ain’t exactly chopped liver either!

All kidding aside, trust Jeff Eats on this one, you gotta try Vinny’s Pizza, it’s that good!

***** Vinny’s Pizza, 6671 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter, Florida 33458, (561) 575-5445.

Got a real good-reasonably priced “mom & pop–red sauce” Italian joint for you…Vinny’s Pizza in Jupiter, Florida.

Vinny’s menu has all of the “expected stuff”…pizzas, pastas, calzones, hot & cold subs, meat/seafood/chicken dishes (dinners–include salad, pasta side, garlic knots).

A recent dinner outing had me doing…large 16” pizza ($12.20), penne alla vodka ($10.50), meat lasagna ($11.25), veal parmigiana ($14.50). Keeping in mind, that joints like Vinny’s aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel—I can, without hesitation tell you that-Vinny’s food was terrific. Definitey one of the best NYC styled pizzas that- I’ve had in a very long time. The pie was thin-crispy-with an amazingly-perfect sweet sauce. As for the penne, lasagna and veal parm—I know joints that get double the price and can’t hold a candle to Vinny’s food.

Vinny’s is a winner. This is NOT and I repeat NOT—some hack joint, just turning out passable food. Do have one huge problem with Vinny’s…it’s 86 miles (round-trip) from my house.

Vinny’s Pizza is open Monday-Thursday 11am-9pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10pm and Sunday noon-9pm.

***** Bell’s Brooklyn Bialys- The Bialy Roll (Everything).

Now, you guys and Jeff Eats both know that this whole food blog “reviewing” situation is purely one big subjective call- you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!

With that in mind, a couple of days ago while shopping at The Fresh Market located at 5540 North Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33496, (561) 994-2221) I came across Bell’s Brooklyn Bialys-The Bialy Roll (Everything) pkg-6, $4.99 in its bakery department and I gotta tell you guys- that all 6 bialy rolls have already been toasted, eaten and were absolutely- off-the-chart delicious!

Like I said a few seconds ago, what I like you may hate and vice versa. All I know, is that in my day- I’ve probably eaten something like a 22,434 bialys and that Bell’s Brooklyn Bialys- The Bialy Roll (Everything) rank right up there with some of the best that I’ve eaten!

For you “detail” oriented guys- the 6 bialy rolls were toasted and eaten un-sliced (2 were topped with melted Kraft Singles American Cheese and Black Label Microwaveable Original Bacon, 2 were topped with Smucker’s Strawberry Jam, and 2 were topped with Philadelphia Whipped Original Cream Cheese).

You guys can check thefreshmarket.com for store locations/product info.

You can also check-out Bagels by Bell d/b/a B&S Bialy, 3333 Royal Avenue, Oceanside, New York 11572, 718.272.2780, at bialy.com (retail outlets/products/info).

* Humor!

Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office.

“Boss,” he says, “we’re doing some heavy house-cleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff.”

“We’re short-handed, Smith,” the boss replies. “I can’t give you the day off.”

“Thanks, boss,” says Smith, “I knew I could count on you!”
