Le Regency Deli & Cafe

$6.35 for a bagel & cream cheese. Gosh damn that's expensive

I thought I'd found a place to grab coffee and croissant before work. And it was good for a bit, the croissants were small but decent. But the croissant I got today was hands down the worst I've ever had, and I eat Costco croissants. I will be looking for a better purveyor of baked goods.

A Satisfying Stop at Le Regency Deli

We were returning to the office from a quick errand when we spotted Le Regency Deli and, feeling hungry, decided to share a breakfast sandwich. When we entered, we saw two men inside behind the counter. One, who I presume was the owner, was on the phone, so the grill man approached and took our order of ham and egg on a bagel. While waiting, I surveyed the space. It's long and narrow. As you enter, you'll find the counter displaying food on your left, with refrigerators containing canned and bottled soft drinks on the right. The dining area, with about 15 tables, and the restroom are located at the end.

A few years ago, before COVID hit, this place bustled with the Financial District breakfast and lunch crowd, often having a line out the door. They even had outdoor seating. However, today, there were only a few patrons during our visit.

The grill man prepared our breakfast bagel and handed it to us in a compostable box. It was generously layered with ham and topped with an egg. We strolled back to the office, took a bite of our respective halves, and both gave it a thumbs-up.

Le Regency Deli also offers sandwiches, wraps, burritos, and salads, catering to those grabbing a quick bite during their lunch hour. Satisfied with the sandwich, I'll most likely return to try their other delicious-looking and filling options.

This is the best place to eat sandwiches in downtown, always fresh and delicious. My favorite is tuna salad with Swiss cheese and tomato. Highly recommend this place.

Best sandwich in town, fresh breads and ingredients and all the options for toppings. Try the tuna or the spicy chicken - both excellent - and friendly sandwich pro craftsmanship !

Very friendly, great service! Fresh reasonably priced sandwich. Will def go back.

There are a couple of things that I've noticed during my visit: when I got the bill, it wasn't itemized. I had to calculate each item that I purchased to make sure that I was charged accurately. There's also at least one fly hovering around our table while we ate. The man prepping our sandwiches was not wearing gloves. It was uncomfortable watching him use his bare hands as he touched the bacon and vegetables in the omelet. After he went on break, I saw another staff prepare food but with gloves this time. In summary, I don't think I'll go out of my way to visit this deli again.

The best pastrami sandwiches I ever had

Been going 15 years now. Great breakfast sandwich.

I stopped in for a late lunch 2 pm after traveling, the gentleman making sandwiches was nice and when asked if they were still open, he said yes. but then the owner or Mgr said “ last order” very harshly and proceeded to ring up my $19 sandwich, chips, coke order, I asked if I could eat there but he said no we are closed so I had to eat samdwich outside at some benchs on street. not good customer service, wont be back. the sandwich maker did say thank you and was polite he shoyld be owner

Fantastic breakfast bagel. Quick and easy. Slightly overpriced.

They are super friendly and my order was ready within 10 minutes. The sandwich was AMAZING! It’s so close to work, I will be a regular!!

This awesome establishment is located in Union Square not the Financial District.
