Trinity Market — Local services in Seattle

A surprisingly good deli / coffee shop / convenience store. I'll skip over the convenience store part (it has stuff, whatever). Finding a good sandwich in Seattle has proven surprisingly difficult. There are delis on the Ave (in name only), but nothing that's really stood out. Turns out the corner store nearest me was secretly a refreshingly good deli all along. Don't let the look deceive you, this place has some of the best sandwiches around. During lunch it's crowded with a bit of a line and/or wait, but stick it out, it's well worth it.
