50 Best Delis near College Point

“I love Sal’s. I have not been here in a while and I stopped in today and got the Sal’s special and an iced tea and it was fantastic. The food is always excellent here. Breakfast or lunch, you will always get a great meal. Andrew is such a nice guy. You are always greeted with respect here. If you want a great meal with really great service, do yourself a favor and check this place out.“

“Great sandwiches. Good staff. Great hot food. But the prices are unaffordable and at this point as much as I love the food, I won't return ever. Ordered 2 heros. Philly cheese steak and a chicken cutlet hero fresh mutz. 1 order of lasagna about 5 inch square and a tiny rice pudding.
Total price 55 dollars.
Sigh. Smh.
Great store. Great food.
But like I said , absolutely unaffordable
Good things never last.
I won't return.“

“New owners New Deli. Way better then the old store and i do mean old the last store looked like a store from the wild wild west lights were never on and everything had dust. Now this new store is like when you have a new make over they have a buffet the staff is very nice everything is presentable and the food is so good.“

“The sandwiches here taste great! the staff is very nice and the prices are really good. I’m saving money when I order from here.I don’t see how anyone can give this place any less than 5 stars... They’re most likely one of those rude customers that disrespects people and demands respect in return.“

“I order daily from this place every morning. Very reasonable and always gets the orders right, especiallyfor delivery. Best prices in the area. Great coffee. The staff is so polite and friendly. I look forward to ordering from them. They make me happy, a great start of the day. Thank you for your service.“

“After a long awaited trip to the store, it did NOT disappoint! I ordered The Casa, fresh mozzarella and burrata. Life may never be the same and I’ll be making more trips to the Bronx for the best cheese I’ve ever had!“

“I love there chop cheese and really every sanwich but I hate ordering at night because the young guy with curly hair always has the phone on so that no calls go through. It's pretty annoying especially when you see there's no orders at that time. Overall love the business.“

“Good Times Deli is hands down one of the best delis in Brooklyn. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and quick, even when there’s a line. I usually grab the Super Chopped Cheese Roll and it never disappoints,fresh, loaded, and full of flavor. Beyond the food, it always feels like a true community gathering place where neighbors stop in, chat, and feel at home. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and service is consistently great. Definitely a go-to spot in the neighborhood!“

“I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, 24 years to be exact now, place gets better and better. Very home feel to the shop. A real staple in the community. Lovely family. If you want quality Italian food in Queens/NYC this is where you come to.“

“Great food, large portions and cheep“

“Consistently excellent food - the quality of the ingredients used is unfailing and far higher than what I’ve come to expect from a sandwich shop. My favorite place to get sandwiches/wraps in the neighborhood.

I have been meaning to stop in for a drink and try their korean food in the speakeasy (so I can’t review to that portion of the menu but would expect greatness).“

“An ethical, industrious family has made it their business to operate a lone deli down on Avenue B and Sixth, and they do it well.. All you might need from a bodega is well-stocked. A nod of the hat for maintaining excellent hot coffee thru the long hours of operation. Soups are solid.. goto is the ol Chicken Noodle. Extra star for Managing customers.. some of whom might be drunk and disagreeable at night. Well, you've heard of the sandwiches. They really knock it out of the park in that department. Personal challenge: come to know each of these sandwiches. Cultivate a relationship with these 'characters'.. the Biden et al.. Cash tips are welcome and deserved. Take notes.. and when ordering, use a telephone and call their maintained-for-3 decades 212 phone number. They don't give those out to any yo-yo..

Pro tip: don't eat at Tompkins--there's a tranquil garden just south across the street. And at night, walk it over to ol' Josies..“

“The best part of my morning is stopping in and always being greeted with kindness and hospitality. The menu is clear and simple, but it won’t stop them from suggesting something they think you’d enjoy.

It’s hard finding a place so quaint and personable in the city. For me it’s the fact that the owner will remember you and immediately welcome you as a friend.

I’m happy to have found this place and become a patron.

P.S. thank you for putting me onto the beef bacon“

“The sandwich’s are priceless. The wait is worth it sometimes lol.“

“Forget bout everywhere else. Joe’s is the place to go. Mozzarella is the best - light airy milky and when you ask for unsalted you get unsalted. Only problem is that they run out of items if it’s later in the day. So go early.“

“Best deli and market in Murray Hill/Kips Bay! They opened this past year and they were exactly what the neighborhood needed. I not only come here for their delicious sandwiches but also random groceries when I need something and don’t want to go all the way to the grocery store! Highly recommend!!“

“Blue Star always comes through in the clutch. It pains me to have moved out of daily range of this place. Vic, Mo, and Rudolpho are truly the best- never failed to make me, my roommates, and friends feel welcome and always took care of us with excellent service.

Will be back soon my friends! ??“

“I agree with everything you said there’s a really delicious wherever you eaten there and even service and everything God bless them“

“It may look like an ordinary deli, but their food is top-notch. Got me a plate with eggplant parm, rice, pasta alla vodka, stuffed chicken, Brussels sprouts . Everything was delicious.

For Jacky, who left a one-star review -

TGTG clearly states that not all stores provide bags and utensils.“

“everything is great“

“I was so nervous trying to find a place that makes Tres Leches cake with Flan in the middle in Brooklyn , no one makes it around Brooklyn and MJP bakery made it happen 🥰 the cake was so delicious, my guest loved it and asked me where it was from 😍🥹! The decoration was just the way I wanted 😍🥰 plain white beautiful! Since I was adding some Orange flowers on it ! Thank you so much for making my mom’s birthday so sweet and special 🤍 . Also Staff is so friendly and helpful“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“From the sandwiches to the smoothies; The fresh pan dulce that my son loves to the variety of Hispanic products in stock.. best deli in the area. Service is always quick and friendly & the music is always bumping. True community deli right here“

“Asked for deli meats, lady pointed to the paper in front of the register “no food at this time”. Meats constitute as food but then she went on to walk away and mumble “I’m by myself I’m not making sandwiches.” No one said anything about sandwiches and we asked a question. Attitude for no reason. Store seems well stocked.“

“This is the best deli in Manhattan! Been coming here for all 4 years of dental school and this family owned deli makes you feel like family. Best food, best vibes, and the absolute best service there is! I cannot recommend this place enough, you have to try it, once you do, you won't want another deli!“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem. Walked to it while taking my mom to an appointment. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and well cooked, the drink selection was huge for the space. Everything from Ito En teas, to Chi Sparkling water and Clearly Canadian.

The absolute star of the show was a super sweet lady that cook e the absolute best Japchae with shrimp I've had and I've been to quite a few places. Nothing like a home cooked meal at a restaurant. This was made fresh, not microwaved and made with love.

If you're in the Midtown Tunnel area by 39th and 2nd, even if you aren't close, you have to try this place. It is well worth the trip!“

“Excellent tuna! Service was really friendly.“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“Five stars for Good Neighbor Queens in the Falchi Building. Best cold brew in the area. This place is a vibe and I love it.“

“Amazingly friendly and welcoming, Middle Eastern and Hispanic staff (an unusual combination) go above and beyond to smile and be friendly. The menu, which includes Mexican, Breakfast, giant salads (make your own)and Vegan options, is diverse and fairly priced, for a guaranteed AMAZING QUALITY and originality. The selection of fresh veggie and fruit smoothies is even more diverse and fair ($7.99/large), and in food and drinks, they will tweak them to your tastebuds. They also have an impressive selection of refrigerated drinks, many from small producers. Despite being crowded inside and on the four small tables outside, and sometimes a bit of a wait (since each dish/wrap is made fresh on demand), it is well worth every penny and minute.
A true hidden gem!!!
Merci!“

“Hands down the best deli in the neighborhood. If you’re looking for a place that remembers your face, look no further. Happy staff, good food and a family friendly environment. They may be new, but they represent that old nyc soul every true NY deli has.

As a born and raised NY’er, I tip my hat to their baconeggandcheese.“

“The best deli in all Dyckman!! I really love it because is very clean, the food is amazing you guys have to try it!!! The bakery and the coffee everything is so so good!! And for the snack you have a lot of options to choose!! The vibe is really amazing,🫶🏼❤️❤️❤️🎊!!“

“My wife wanted to have my 50th birthday party catered, she was looking on City Island where we reside but the prices were out of control. I reminded her of Tinos, where we have in the past got 3 foot heroes and antipasto platters. We called and that was all she wrote! Delivery on time and the food was out of this world!! Anna hooked us up. We will be going with Tinos deli from now on. Thank you so much!!!! Everything was Amazing!!!!!!“

“Catered this weekend - Italian Chicken Cutlet Supreme was awesome. Fresh and delicious. Stuffed cherry peppers were a hit. Salads were amazing but Mediterranean salad was my favorite. Pecan ring with whipped cream was gone in minutes. Thank you Mark (and Milton) for a delicious afternoon remembering my dad with family.“

“Number 1 in my own personal world since 1994!!! The best and they never disappoint!!“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“Friendly staff good food highly recommend this deli“

“Aaron's Deli is more than just a deli—it's a community spot. Mama Luv is there almost every morning, greeting folks with a smile and real love. She’s like the heartbeat of the place, spreading positive energy and good vibes.

They’ve got your NYC staples like a solid BEC or a chopped cheese, but what makes this spot special is the rare finds—Seamoss Gel, Mullein Tea, and fresh fruit cups. There are plenty of healthy options too, which is hard to come by at most corner stores. Whether you’re grabbing something quick or just need a moment of good energy, Aaron’s Deli delivers every time.

Support local and pull up—you won’t regret it.

“Wow what a gem of a spot, I can’t believe it took me so long to find it. I will never go anywhere else for an affordable sandwich - has literally any ingredient you’d ever want, wheat bread which is rare at spots around here, and awesome pricing.“

“A small, rather inconspicuous little Deli but, oh boy, a hidden gem! I was there to buy water but left with a deliciously made fresh juice (made from fresh fruits & veggies). Their paninis also look top-notch and are not expensive, considering their size and amount of filling. Service was great and very friendly!! Will be a customer from now on... I recommend the place!“

“Vegan food that makes love to your mouth! My first time having Jerked Seitan. OMG! Definitely worth getting with the avocado.“

“Best deli in LIC! Never disappoints Always fresh!“

“Tasty Burgers - Great host! Thanks for the nice evenings 😊“

“delicious food, very nice staff“

“I just got back from a trip to NYC and my brother-in-law treated us to dinner from The Halal Guys in Midtown and I knew it would be good since it was the only food cart with a block-long line after midnight. In fact I liked it so much I wanted to see if I could get something similar nearby... and I found it! I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo and while it wasn't quite the same it was still very good. The only difference is it didn't come with the pita bread and the white sauce tasted a bit different, but not bad. It also has more veggies so more "crunch" but next time I'm going to ask to leave them off (I just don't like the crunch...). I'm very happy to have a local option at a good price and generous portions. Thank you Sam's.“

“Genuine old school Italian deli! This place is awesome, clean, and well organized. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We were going to split an Italian hero. My son said, "You better get another." Because he finished it! It was delicious! Can't wait to go back!“

“It's the best deli in Mt. Vernon. Staff is always accommodating and the food is the best. The delivery guys are always fast and friendly. My advice is to go try it and find out for yourself. You won't be let down. Try the Pete's wrap or the chicken tacos! Amazing!“
