MSM Deli

MSM stands for Magical Sandwich Makers, and the regulars on 6th Ave treat that as a plain statement of fact. The French bread comes in fresh, the sandwiches come out stacked, and the open kitchen lets you watch yours built from the counter.

The other landmark is the cooler: a wall of drinks running two thirds of the shop, one of the biggest bottle selections in Tacoma. Expect a line at lunch. It moves, and it is worth it.
