Dépanneur

"Depanneur manages to beautifully balance consistency with surprise and delight. The sandwich shop, seemingly run by a group of best friends who have the same taste in fashion and manners, provides consistently perfectly proportionate sandwiches on wonderfully baked bread. And with their daily specials, they’re able to tempt the most strict creatures of habit out of their routine." - Krrb

"If you just want a quick, simple sandwich, go to Depanneur. It’s a little market on Wythe, and we like to think of it as a bodega that went to grad school and now thinks it’s better than everyone else (because it kind of is). You can get things like Persian yogurt and saltwater taffy here, and you can also get a great pastrami or egg salad sandwich. And if you need a place to eat, there are usually some tables on the sidewalk out front." - bryan kim

"Dépanneur is the general store we all wish we had on our block. Part café, part grocer the inventory ranges from the necessary (fresh-baked bread, newspapers, eggs, three types of yogurt) to the indulgent (a series of canned sardines, unusual grains, wildly expensive chocolate). The coffee is expertly made and always hot, the range of to-go snacks behind the counter is meant to satisfy every state of hunger with mini ham-and-cheese baguettes, croissants, and slabs of pound cake. Pick up a coffee or an obscure bottle of kombucha and sit at one of the round tables outside, perfectly placed for people watching. "
