We could come for breakfast everyday easily. Everything here has been delicious from the challah French toast, the chicken liver, latkes, everything bagel, to the banana bread.

Excellent place for dinner - breakfast an obvious yes- but they had a great burger for my picky eater, and nice sandwiches for the rest of us - with fries. The half sour pickles are exceptionally good - and will not break the bank as much as others places for dinner.
A genuine deli that serves up glutenfree options. Had sandwiches to go. They were very delicious. It's not easy to find glutenfree options in a deli but glad that they did.
Flawless roast beef and pickles and a nice light coleslaw, but for me the star was the sourdough bread, which is the elusive perfect sandwich bread: flavorful without overshadowing any of the filling, both pillowy soft and slightly chewy, just barely enough substance to hold a thick sandwich together perfectly without making the sandwich bready and dry.
Friendly prompt service
It was very busy when I arrived but Robert was very quick (and awesome!!) at getting me a table!!
Anna was my server (she was amazing!! It was during a rush and she did wonderful balancing her tables, and she always checked on me- my water never went past half empty!!) and all of my food was DELISH!!
Alejandro also helped, and he was amazing, and very sweet!! You can tell there’s a lot of teamwork and rhythm within the staff!!
Altogether the people here are lovely-
Not to mention the food is FANTASTIC!! It’s affordable and everything I’ve EVER had has taste and quality!! They are VERY generous with their servings (as someone who can EAT, I always find myself full with plenty leftover!!) and it’s always so fresh and yummy!!
I think this is my new favorite spot; altogether the hospitality and experience is 100000/10, I highly highly recommend!!
Excellent menu and very good energy establishment.
These are real bagels! Best in town by far!
Great deli! Love that they offer gluten-free sandwiches.
Great atmosphere and great service. I was disappointed my Reuben. I expected it to be piled high with meat but it was not piled high. In addition when I took a bite the meat did not pull apart easily. The pickle was delicious I could eat a jar of these. The fries were nice and crunchy.

Fun deli ! Enjoyed goat cheese and sun dried tomatoe omelette which real potatoe home fries and a great every thing bagel. The portions were very generous and price was reasonable.The service was great and atmosphere was nostalgic having grown up in NY and living in Florida for 40 years. Definitely recommend
I had breakfast at Zaftigs. The egg sandwich on a bagel and side of potatoes were very good, but the highlight was the hot chocolate. It was the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever had!
If you want to experience a truly good Jewish deli, this is the place. There are very few places I leave wanting to eat more snd this is one of them. Portions are huge, flavors, sublime, and I can’t even begin to describe how good the pastrami is.

I ordered delivery and was sadly very disappointed. We ordered the thanksgiving dinner, Monte Cristo, and the cheesecake brownie. The dinner portions were very small (dessert portion huge) and what there was wasn't very good. Everything tasted very processed with no good flavor and tons of salt, not homemade seeming as advertised, other than the veggie side which was unsalted steamed broccoli with out anything else. It unfortunately was giving meals on wheels/hospital food. The brownie was quite dry and dense with a very odd texture and had a strong cherry flavor surprisingly.
Perhaps I should have stuck with the classics!!
Always great to pop in and have a chicken soup. My go to local restaurant. Food is delicious , great customer service!
