Lovely small business. All the workers here are attentive and helpful with any questions/suggestion making. Food and drinks are delicious! Environment is relaxed and homey, they never make you feel unwanted. Prices can be steep but it makes sense as they use fresh quality ingredients. Definitely recommend! Will be back soon!

This bagel was $9:75 bacon looked and tasted cheap and the cheese was basically plastic. Reminded me of the bagels you would get in highschool. The bagel was all bread barely any eggs on it. I’ve been here a few times the food quality isn’t it and the prices are Nyc prices.

I got the worst caprese sandwich ever here and paid an exorbitant price ($16!) for it. The young woman that took my order was very pleasant, but I was so disappointed at the quality and taste (it was drowned in balsamic vinaigrette reduction) of what should be a classic sandwich. It wasn't even made on a baguette type of bread, it was more like sandwich bread. $20 for a sandwich and a small juice. Very disappointing. Should've gone to Paris Baguette because their caprese sandwiches are delicious, but I thought I'd give the new place a try. Sigh.

Awful place. Awful owner. Owner smokes cigarettes in the kitchen while the food is cooking. Don’t bother visiting this dumpster of a deli.

I'm eating a delicious sandwich at Ooy's Deli, where one of the employees told me that their boss was the best boss in food service.The staff seem very happy and supported, and honestly I can't imagine a better compliment for an establishment.

The sandwiches here were BOMB!! (Go bombers!) We were greeted by Danielle Delaney who is a gem, she made some great recommendations for what my friends and I should start our day off eating. The deli has a great corner spot right off the commons with some games and books left out for customers. Hole in the wall joint with a delicious menu! Escape the cold fo a cup of Joe and a yummy sandwich.

Went in with friends for a weekend lunch, service was fast and the food was good. coffee was burnt :( However, customer service was not impressive. My friend wanted a drink and was berated by the barista that "they don't make it like Starbucks" and continued to make my friend feel dumb for even asking. Super rude, will not be coming in again.

Ooy'd Deli is located next to a parking garage which makes it a great place to grab a sandwich in a busy downtown neighborhood. I kept it simple and just got the club panini. It was exactly what you'd expect. It just needed something extra, maybe a little more flavor. I tried a cranberry orange muffin and it was dried out. Too bad, maybe next time I'll try something else.

Come get a breakfast sandwich with real eggs and a nice soft bagel in a clean, welcoming environment. You won't be disappointed.

Ordered online twice and was told both times to order by phone because they don't have the "iced" option on the 3rd party sites. First time I tried to order via phone took forever to answer the phone and then gave me an attitude like I was bothering her. Second time they didn't answer the phone at all. Third time I went in person and was left standing outside in the cold for 12 mins after they were supposed to be open (both employees saw me & ignored me) so I just left. Just had another unpleasant experience there Food is great. Service- not so much.

The first time I tried this place their coffee tasted like cleaning supplies. But their sandwiches are tasty and they make the best matcha lattes in my opinion.

The best deli near the commons, always satisfies and keeps me coming back for more! I always get a Reuben Panini ??

The Suave Sultan

The sandwiches here are super tasty. I had the Rueben and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely loaded with meat the and sauerkraut was tangy but not overpowering. The staff were really friendly and the service was top notch. This place it totally worth checking out.
