About R&A deli grocery #2

Welcome to R&A Deli Grocery #2

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, R&A Deli Grocery #2 is a one-of-a-kind winery, deli, and grocery destination. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, a chef-crafted snack, or want to stock up on pantry staples, you’ll discover exceptional offerings and warm hospitality under one roof. Our cozy corner location brings together a passionate owner, a handpicked selection of wines, and a menu designed to delight both regulars and first-time guests alike.

A Fusion of Winery Charm and Deli Comfort

At R&A Deli Grocery #2, we bridge the gap between a traditional corner store and a boutique wine experience. Inside our compact yet inviting space, you’ll find shelves lined with grocery essentials—pantry basics, artisanal snacks, and specialty drinks—alongside curated bottles of local and international wines. From velvety reds to crisp whites, our wine offerings are thoughtfully chosen to complement our freshly prepared foods. This seamless blend of deli delights and winery sophistication makes every visit both convenient and memorable.

Signature Dishes That Steal the Spotlight

Our customers consistently rave about two standout creations that have become local legends:

  • Rellenos de Papa: These golden-fried, cheese-filled potato pockets are nothing short of magical. Visitors proclaim them “the best rellenos de papa” in the region—crispy on the outside, creamy and savory on the inside, they’re an irresistible starter or side.
  • Crafted Sandwiches: From classic cold cuts to gourmet combinations, our sandwiches strike the perfect balance of flavor and substance. Each bite reflects our commitment to quality ingredients and thoughtful assembly. Patrons return time and again, happily noting our “great sandwiches” as their go-to midday pick-me-up.

Friendly Faces, Personal Touch

What truly sets R&A Deli Grocery #2 apart is the personality behind the counter. Owner José (everyone calls him “the pretty cool guy”) greets each guest with genuine warmth and a ready smile. Bilingual in Spanish and English, he effortlessly makes everyone feel at home—sharing menu suggestions, offering tasting notes on our wines, or simply catching up on local news. Customers frequently mention how José’s approachable, personable attitude transforms an ordinary errand into a friendly community interaction.

Cozy Atmosphere, Intimate Experience

While our store footprint may feel snug, many have likened the space to a cherished neighborhood hideaway. Yes, it can get a bit “kinda cramped,” but that closeness also creates a lively, bustling vibe. You might strike up a conversation with a fellow patron or discover an off-menu special straight from the kitchen. The unpretentious, corner-store layout encourages spontaneity—whether you’re grabbing last-minute groceries or lingering over a glass of wine and a plate of rellenos.

A Complete Shopping and Dining Destination

One of the greatest conveniences at R&A Deli Grocery #2 is the sheer variety of offerings available in one place. Customers frequently express appreciation for:

  • Prepared Foods: Ready-to-enjoy meals and snacks you can savor on-site or take home.
  • Grocery Staples: From everyday essentials like bread and milk to unique imported treats, our shelves carry what you need.
  • Beverages: An assortment of soft drinks, juices, and a curated wine list ensures every thirst is quenched.

This blend of services turns quick stops into full-blown culinary adventures. Shoppers love the ease of picking up ingredients for dinner while treating themselves to something freshly made.
