Way Too much stuff on the menu cannot perform efficiently with that large of a menu. Cannot put out the food fast enough

After 3pm on Monday through Wednesday I believe it is they have half of bagels. So we went and got bagels! The bagels here are decent and I like the cream cheese and tuna options. They sell Leonard's bakery goodies, mostly important the coffee cake. Yummmmmmm!!

Best fried salami sandwich. Always a line but worth the wait. Both breakfast and lunch items. Take out is a breeze. Order to eat there it take it home. They have great hours so stop by. The kids love the food too. Family friendly

Another "Once Upon" spots and first time at this one! Pictured here are their bagels for the day, and their Corned Beef Sandwich (on Rye Bread with mustard, and a pickle slice). Generous amount of Corned Beef as well as mustard. Not pictured here, but also grabbed a couple of whole tomatillos. Both pickles and tomatillos are seasoned perfectly. Steady flow of customers (regulars and first-timers) coming in and out. Friendly service here like other locations. A "Once Upon a Grill" is also in the same plaza.

Always welcoming and very informative. When I have troubles deciding, Javi always recommends the best options on the menu. Always a joy coming back and seeing everyone there! All in all it's a great deli!!! He's a wonderful guy! Everyone there has my heart!

My friend, Haley, told me to try this place and I'm so glad I did! So many bagel options and all so fresh! I will be frequenting this location as it's close to my work!

I ordered a sandwich that ended up costing $15, it was terrible. It was on what tastes like the cheapest slice of wonder bread. The cheese tasted like Kraft singles. I would not recommend unless you want a sandwich that could be made by a five year old for 15 dollars. The pickle was also dry some how i don't know how a pickle can be dry but once upon a deli makes it happen.

I recently hosted a breakfast for the staff at the three District 27 schools. We ordered bagel trays and breakfast combo trays (muffins, donuts, coffee cake and cookies) and coffee. We had 15 people at one location, 90 at another and about 115 at the third. The people at Once Upon went above and beyond to make sure the trays arrived on time at all 3 locations and the spread was beautiful! Everybody enjoyed the delicious food. I was very impressed that the bagel trays came with three different cream cheeses as well as fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. The bagels were also pre-sliced which was very helpful! If you need a nice breakfast for a large (or small) group, I HIGHLY recommend Once Upon a Grill and Once Upon a Deli!
