A good morning with GoodFellas

A week off work usually starts with a night out, followed by a morning after where you need something delicious to eat. A pragmatic person would have thought ahead and bought some groceries to prepare for the rest fest. Sadly, I was too busy barreling tunnel-vision to the end of the week to do that favor for future Lizy, so I had to call upon DoorDash for my breakfast.

Since breakfast foods don’t typically travel or keep well, I ordered myself a sandwich from GoodFellas Bagel Deli. Located inside Capital City Market, GoodFellas offers bagel sandwiches, a waffle sandwich and breakfast burritos. They get the bagels from Cochran Bros. in Romulus and pride themselves on the quality of their ingredients.

There is a lot of variety in the mafia-themed menu, so it was hard to narrow it down to the one sandwich that would make its way to my house. I decided on the Sonny, which came with an over-easy egg, turkey sausage, spinach, pepper jack and brown sugar cream cheese on your choice of bagel. I picked an everything bagel, added a hash brown and pressed “place order.”

Now, when I get a breakfast sandwich, let alone one that traveled to me, the egg is usually somewhere between over-medium and over-hard. The egg on the Sonny was still hot and had a perfectly runny yolk. The mild spiciness of the pepper jack was the perfect counterpoint to the sweet cream cheese and the savory, not at all greasy turkey sausage patty. And the bagel? One of the best I’ve had in a while! Golden brown and doused in everything seasoning, it was the perfect base for as close to a New York-style breakfast sandwich as you can find around here.

The hash brown was a little underdone but still seemed homemade and was a tasty accompaniment to my sandwich. I will keep GoodFellas in mind for future breakfast emergencies, and beyond that, I definitely need to try that waffle sandwich. Dining here is a great way treat yourself for under $10 without getting too filled up. And you can pick up some groceries while you’re at it, ensuring you’ll cook for yourself for your next meal.
