Brick St. Deli & Notion Co.: Where Mystery Meets Sandwiches in Kokomo
Kokomo just got a little weirder — and a lot tastier. Nestled on the iconic Brick Buckeye Street, the newly opened Brick St. Deli & Notion Co. is already turning heads and filling tables, despite its unconventional approach. This new hotspot, co-owned by familiar Kokomo faces Kyle Gibson (owner of The Coterie) and his business partner Dustin Ogle, brings a funky, vibrant energy to the street that perfectly complements its eclectic neighbors.
True to Gibson’s reputation for 'keeping Kokomo weird,' the Brick St. Deli & Notion Co. opened its doors without any official announcements. No business hours, no phone number, and not even a posted menu. Curious? You’re not alone. The owner seem to be inviting the community to show up, embrace the mystery, and figure it out for themselves. Updates on menu items and hours are slowly trickling out via their Facebook page and newsletter — keeping the community intrigued and coming back for more.
Once the home of Missy's Family Restaurant & Gingerbread House, the new deli space has undergone a dramatic transformation. Walls came down, colors went up, and the result is a trendy, funky, and a welcoming spot that feels right at home on one of Kokomo’s coolest streets. Whether it’s the vibrant atmosphere or the promise of a delicious sandwich, it’s clear that Brick St. Deli & Notion Co. is already a hit.
When we interrogated Kyle Gibson about the deli (because we have questions about all of the mystery too!), Kyle Gibson kept it simple: 'I like sandwiches, and I feel like every city needs a locally owned sandwich shop that doesn’t suck.' The goal? To create something special and uniquely Kokomo. 'What’s special about it? It’s all ours and it’s in large part to the people of Kokomo and to the people that choose to support us and live in this beautiful city.'
While Brick St. Deli and Notion Co. is open and thriving, there’s still a touch of mystery to unravel. The Notion Co. side of the business is still in development, with Gibson hinting that 'it’s only going to get better when we finish Notion Co.’s Kitchen.'
In Gibson’s words: 'People can expect unique and familiar sandwiches handcrafted with care and quality ingredients. An inviting open floor plan and all the good vibes you can muster.' With the deli's focus on quality and community, it's clear they're putting their all into making a mark on Kokomo.
We managed to snag a taste for ourselves, and we can confirm — Brick St. Deli & Notion Co. is living up to the hype. Delicious, unique sandwiches, a buzzing atmosphere, and an unapologetically quirky vibe make it a must-visit. Whether you’re craving a killer sandwich or just curious to see what’s going on behind those doors, Brick St. Deli & Notion Co. is calling your name.
So, the next time you’re craving a little adventure, head over to Brick St. and see what the buzz is about. Expect good sandwiches, cool vibes, and a touch of that signature weirdness that Kokomo has come to expect from Gibson.
