This is a terrific place for lunch near the Garden District - old school, east coast Jewish Deli, complete with surly workers. But the atmosphere inside is wonderful and most importantly, the deli sandwiches were delish. I got pastrami and my wife had a Rachel on GF bread. We ate outside on the picnic tables in the sunshine.

Come to this little hidden deli at least once a week. Definitely recommend any of the sandwiches on the menu! Fresh meats, fresh veggies and house made bread. Staff isn’t the friendliest but that’s to be expected at a little Jewish style deli. Get there early because they get busy quick!

Staff is rude. Especially the guy at the counter. Food was good. The Ruben was so-so but the turkey panni was very good. Very cramped inside. Not bad for a quick bite but nothing really fancy. Would recommend taking it to go.

A carefully extracted light roast espresso with crema served with sparkling water in a bustling neighborhood environment. Whats not to love?

Wow, it really got mobbed; we were lucky to have arrived before the lunch rush. We got a table. (If you want some extra meet to go, order it first or you may be waiting a long while.) We ordered the Rachel--pastrami with Swiss and sauerkraut on marble rye. OMG, wonderful. We were sharing, and the busy worker was niice enough to give us 2 baskets (and 2 pickles.) Delicious!!!

Found Stein's on my first morning in New Orleans when trying to find a decent coffee (by Australian standards that can be hard to achieve in America sometimes!). The coffee was actually provided by a 'hole in the wall' place in the corner of the deli. Once discovered it turns out that Stein's also makes amazing sandwiches & has an incredible 'craft beer cave of wonders' out the back. The Muffaletta sandwich was DELICIOUS!!

Con artists. Beer is good, but the hippie guy with long hair is really rude and has zero manners, and does not give you chance back. If you pay with a $20 bill for a $3 beer, he keeps the $17 difference for himself. When you tell him to give him your money back, he fives you a few quarters back, and tells you that he’s keeping the rest as his tip.

Don't miss it. Pay attention or you will. Quick, no frills, smoothest espresso and a tight mellow milk top to the cappuccino.

I can’t overstate how much I love this place! The best corned beef sandwich! It’s all good here.

Great coffee and great baristas! I tried several different lattes and the chai and they were all amazing!
Our son chose this place. We almost missed it - the door was covered with posters, art work, paint etc. The sandwiches were next level. We had roast beef, vegetarian, muffalata and a Po Boy. The bread was so fresh. The food was so good, I wanted to eat here everyday.

I have no words to describe how good this bagel was!! It was incredible and well worth the taxi ride. If you go anywhere for breakfast go here

We were in New Orleans for a few days and were wandering around the Garden District... needed lunch and spotted this place. WHAT A FIND!!!! My partner had the Reuben sandwich and I had a Muffaletta. Both huge, both delish - not cheap but worth every penny. Service took a little while but that's because they make every sandwich fresh (I watched them do it!) and they are deservedly popular, especially at lunchtime. My partner described his Reuben as 'the best thing I ate in New Orleans' and given that we had a lot of great food this is a high compliment!! We would definitely return if we were in New Orleans again. Thank you!

Happened in here by chance when I was in the area. Had an absolutely fabulous sandwich. This place is exactly as it should be - busy, crowded, chaotic and looks a little sketchy, but is the perfect atmosphere for exactly what it is - an amazing quirky old-world neighborhood deli. My food was fantastic. I would absolutely come here again if ever I make it back to New Orleans.

inside of stein's. noticed they had a bottled water jug, so i figured they cared about the quality of the water going into their coffee. ordered a cortado. excellent. correct 1:1 proportion w/ art. excellent complement to stein's itself. friend had their drip. their cortado is as good as any other i've had, and i've had cortados from here to kodiak alaska and numerous place far and near.
