Food Friday: Angelo’s Italian Deli

There has been so much talk about the new Italian deli opened in Bethany a few months ago, so you know I had to go try it out. We picked a nice Saturday afternoon and stopped in.

It was quiet when we got there and greeted enthusiastically by the owner along with several employees. The menu board on the wall was quite simple, so we picked out respective sandwiches. I ordered the toasted College & 36th, a sandwich stuffed with baked ham, Cooper white cheese, caramelized onion jam, Romaine, roasted tomato, all on a rosemary loaf. Big K got the cold sandwich called the Abruzzi. This sandwich is huge, with crispy chicken, Prosciutto, Ricotta cheese, mozzarella, arugula, roasted bell peppers with a balsamic glaze on a roll. While the owner was making up the sandwiches, we checked out the other offerings. They had plenty of sides, but we decided on the pasta salad and potato salad. We got everything to go, so we could just relax and eat at home. We dove into the sides first, the pasta salad was amazing. Large cheese filled ravioli with spices and parmesan cheese in what seemed to be an olive oil. Then we had the potato salad, which was also good. Large chunks of skin-on red potatoes in a creamy mayo-type sauce. Then we got to our sandwiches. The Abruzzi that Big K ordered was stuffed full of meats. I had a small bite, this will be what I get on my next visit. The chicken with the Prosciutto worked so well with the Ricotta and mozzarella providing some color to the flavors. My College and 36th was great as well. The ham and cheese worked so well with the caramelized onion, so good together.

Angelo’s Italian Deli is new to the city. Opened just a few months ago and have been quite popular ever since. They do also have an actual deli inside where you can order meats and cheeses by the pound. Coffee and tea are on the menu for drinks if you want to try that as well. There is also a dessert case with all kinds of treats, I just didn’t get anything this trip but will next time. Located on NW 36th just south of Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, they are easy to find. I loved every bite of my food and am excited to stop in again. I’m giving them 5 strips of bacon.

Food Friday: MentaliTea and Coffee

Update: They have moved to a new address. They are now in a new building along with The Produce Gal. Still a quiet place to write, read, or relax. They do have a larger menu, not just for drinks for food and baked goods. The Produce Gal also runs a small market with local products and produce. I had a frappe latte with lavender which was really good. I also loved my bagel sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon. So check them out, still good food and great service, just a new location.

I often write in my office at home but sometimes I need someplace quieter with no distractions. I have found a great place to get some coffee, breakfast, and some quiet, MentaliTea and Coffee in Bethany.

On NW 36th Street just to the east of Southern Plaza retirement center, this small building looks industrial but inside is a quiet inviting space. I ordered one of their signature drinks, a lavender latte with a breakfast biscuit that had bacon added. I took a seat in a cozy nook near a window, with a comfy seat and a table to work from, I could look out the window when writers block struck. My latte came out in a cute white mug, with a latte art flower on top. I let it cool while I waited for the biscuit, which soon followed. The biscuit was huge, covered the small plate. It was homemade, buttery and flaky, the bacon added a bit of smoky flavor to it. The latte was smooth, the lavender just added a smoothness to the drink. Even though some people came in, the vibe stayed calm. I stayed for almost 2 hours, just thinking, writing, and enjoying my food.

This will be a new go-to place for me when I need to clear my mind. I will give them 5 strips of bacon, and some peace and quiet.

Address: 3823 N. College Ave., Bethany.
