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.“

“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.“

“This bodega is a bit of a walk for me but it's absolutely worth the walk, the food is so good and the people are so kind. Echoing the other reviewers to say get the beef crunchwrap. This is the first crunchwrap to break my loyalty to Taco Bell. Rest of the food is great as well - they clearly put a lot of care into making really tasty food.“

“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“

“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“

“Fillmore Deli and Backroom is a pretty solid neighborhood spot with a surprising mix of options. The Korean fried chicken is actually really good crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. They also have a large variety of sandwiches, so there’s something for whatever mood you’re in.

One thing that always throws me off though is they tend to run out of the tuna pretty often, which is strange for a deli. But besides that, everything else seems to be okay. It’s a reliable place to grab a quick bite and the food usually hits the spot.“

“10/10 Delicious pho sandwich

Staff is very kind, friendly, & efficient.
The sandwich is stuffed & packed with flavor. Very impressed, and I can't wait to return to try their other sandwiches !!!

We walked over to the nearby park to eat on a park bench“

“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 bodega!!! Lived in nyc for years and no place hits like slice n spice. Amazing halal, smoothies, every snack and the ppl have amazing vibes just good customer service. U know when u walk into a bodega and tbe vibes are just off…. Never happens here. Best food!!!“

“The food here is very good and reasonably priced. It’s clean, bright, and has lots of menu options to choose from with new specials ask the time. The workers are very friendly and make the trip there enjoyable. Highly recommend this deli!“

“I recently visited Habib Deli and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, they have a wide variety of options that will satisfy any appetite.

The service was top-notch as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. I didn’t have to wait long for my order, and they were more than happy to provide recommendations.

The location is perfect—easy to find with plenty of parking, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors.

A special shoutout to Ali, the owner, who greeted me with a warm smile and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s clear that he takes pride in both the food and the atmosphere of his deli. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Habib Deli to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming experience!“

“Always enjoy coming to this deli. Always being one of those late customers, coming in around 1-2am or close to when they closing. Always greeted, friendly guys working here, and the food. Even if I order the same thing as usual. Always the best! Will continue to come here and plus with more selection of snacks and treats. Don’t forget the cat. Yall should definitely give it a visit too!! ‼️💯“

“Best deli in GP no competition, best Philly in the city, trust me I tried them all, scrumptious food. The Guys who run the place are super chill and welcoming it’s amazing they don’t rip you off like other stores, always have my precious red bulls and monster energy, not to mention the absolute gas import chips go here once and you’ll never look at any other deli again“

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

“Check out my IG @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. David’s Brisket House in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is a real piece of NYC food history. The shop has been around for more than 50 years and still serves some of the best sandwiches in the city. We ordered the famous “3 The Hard Way” to try all three classics: pastrami, brisket, and corned beef. Each one was stacked high on rye, and the flavors were incredible. The brisket had that perfect smoky edge, and the pastrami was full of spice and tenderness. You can feel the legacy in every bite. It’s casual, local, and full of character. If you want an authentic deli experience in Brooklyn, this is the spot to visit.“

“This place has been around for as long as I can remember. I vaguely remember them being in a different location though.....on the corner adjacent to them.....where CVS is now (they expanded that space. The place is small with no tables. There's just a couple of stools by the window. We always order delivery though. Family run by husband, wife and son. They are all very nice and delivery is always within 30 minutes. I've tried a bunch of things from there. Egg sandwiches, cold cut sandwiches, BLTs, burgers, pasta salad, fries etc. I haven't disliked anything. Their fries are a must get! Not sure why they're so good, but they are. As for the pricing, everything is under $10 which is great! Definitely check them out!“

“In my opinion best bakery in the Neighborhood. From the cook shop in the back to the pastries in the front. Unlike a recent review I saw I recently got their Flan and it was so delicious. I recently got their tamales and pancita this weekend and also the best in the neighborhood. Let’s not talk about the fresh concha’s all time. When it comes to Birthday cakes this is also my go too. My picky child loves the Cafe con Nunez cake!!! Now speaking about today for three kings day the Rosca was a must. I went around 8:45pm and they still had a line outside. I even bumped into my child teammates who came from the other side of Brooklyn just for the rosca!! Mind you at 8:45 they were still taking out Fresh rocas from the oven for us on the line. Needless to say that even when I got home the Rosca was still very warm. Everyone in my family really loved the Rosca. Its fresh warmest just got prefect with our coffee… Oh and the prices were the best. They did not overcharge like other bakeries in the neighborhood. Price was prefect!!. This Bakery is just the number one for everything so far!!“

“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! ??“

“everything is great“

“I recently tried the pastrami sandwich at Gurkha Deli, and it was absolutely fantastic. The pastrami was tender, flavorful, and perfectly layered, and the bread had just the right balance of softness and crunch. Every bite felt thoughtfully crafted.
If you’re looking for a delicious, satisfying sandwich in a warm and inviting setting, Gurkha Deli is definitely worth a visit!“

“Best downtown Deli. Manu sandwiches are phenomenal but they can also make whatever you want. Ingredients are always fresh and clean. Busy for a good reason but never a long wait. Been coming here for the past year and wouldn’t go anywhere else“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“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!“

“WOW…EXCEPTIONAL food and service! I got spicy japchae with shrimp and egg. This tastes like a home cooked meal and is the best japchae I have ever tasted. You can tell that the Chef poured so much love into it. She even had me taste the sauce while she was cooking! This place is a hidden gem!!! The kimchi is also the best kimchi I have ever had.“

“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.“

“I’ve been to Bombom a few times now and it’s always a great experience. I recently got two sandwiches from here and they were really good, made just right. The cashier is always friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. They also carry a variety of snacks, and they’re happy to accommodate special requests as best they can. Overall, it’s a solid local deli with good food and great service. Highly recommend! They also have a Cat she’s awesome and friendly .“

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

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

“Excellent tuna! Service was really friendly.“

“After numerous attempts with different places, I finally found a place that satisfied my wife's craving for a GOOD, FRESH-TASTING chicken cutlet sandwich. Chicken was freshly breaded & grilled upon my order, great portion, no complaints. Service was great too, the ladies working there were very friendly & welcoming. I'd definitely go back.“

“Called in for breakfast sandwich. Told the guy I’ll be there in about 5 minutes. When I arrived only one customer in the store and they didn’t even start it. Very disappointed since it is my last day in New York and had to rush to catch the train so I left without anything. love their breakfast sandwiches but they should be mindful when a customer calls in advance it’d be nice to have it ready upon arrival. What really disappoints is that this wasn’t the first time this happened. However I’ll leave 4 stars despite my unfortunate experience because the food does taste great.“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff! Store is super convenient with a bar to order meals such as sandwiches, fries, bagels in addition to a great variety of classic convenience store products! My friend and I found it super useful on our vacation when we needed small things.“

“I’ve lived in the community since 2007 and this deli is hands down the best in the neighborhood. The selection is always on point, from snacks and drinks to those random household items you suddenly need at the worst time. Now at 30, I can honestly say there’s no other deli I trust or go to for food. Consistently reliable, well-stocked, and a staple in the community.“

“Great guys behind the counter! With a wonderful young lady helping cash out!!!“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

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

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

“Well stocked true Italian deli with mostly Italian imports as well as an occasional American brand of coldcut or cheese. Five varieties of prosciutto to choose from and extremely sharp aged provolone and parmesagna are the real deal. Long serving deli staff are friendly and attentive, knowing their customers and their preferences. Around the holidays the deli has all the traditional Christmas foods especially panettone galore! The tops of the shelves fill with hundreds of Italian panettone of many elegant varieties: limoncello, hazelnut, pistachio, latte, nutella, even gluten free ppannetone. Prices are a little higher than surrounding import markets but not unmanageable so. This deli is a treasure of Broadway and a perennial favorite.“

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

“I have made a point to visit this place on every trip to NYC since I first found it in 2021. You will not find better vibes nor a better BEC. I’m very happy to see they’ve expanded into a little bar area and can’t wait to come back at night and enjoy a drink.“
