22 Best Delis in Long Island City

“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.“

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

“I’m a frequent visitor to this area of NYC, have somehow missed this hidden gem. From the outside, it’s typical for a New York storefront, and not terribly pleasing to the eye. Step inside, however, and you will find one of the neatest and cleanest deli’s that I have ever seen! The entire staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. I spent about $20 on a huge double-meat sub sandwich and a cold pressed juice. The owner apologized that the juice would take a few minutes, as he has to freshly cut the fruit and veggies for the juice, and the juicer is a bit slow. It was worth the wait as the juice was fantastic, and way better than a soda.
Overall very impressed, I’ll be back!“

“It is a type of small supermarket and restaurant. It is clean and tidy. The attention is friendly and fast. They sell takeaway food for 9 and 10 USD. We ordered two dishes for 10 usd each. I ordered rice with black beans and spicy wings and my husband ordered white rice, beans and suckling pig. Additionally, we ordered a chorizo ​​and a ripe plantain. To drink two sodas. In total 25.50 usd.“

I have been living in LIC since April I go at least twice a week for lunch better the most places in the area wish buffet was re stocked for dinner and Millie her self is a nice person some times people are just to critical 🤷‍♂️“

“My favorite deli in the area. Not to mention they’re a 24-hour deli. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is very welcoming. Attached is a couple of sandwiches from the store (The Old School & Italian Boss). I highly recommend this place to anybody who’s looking for a variety of food, snacks and beverages.“

“Great place. Great Service and Great Food. Highly recommend Sparks Deli.“

“Stopped in for a lamb gyro and wasn't disappointed. I believe it was a $6.99 special. Waited maybe 7-8 minutes while they prepared it on the flat top. That, a soda and doritos was just over $13.

Vegetarian options: Samosas

Parking: Good luck“

“I stopped at this deli because I heard their empanadas are really good but since its early morning I got a bagel with bacon pepperjack cheese and tomato and I have to say that was the best sandwich I ever had and that's all I get everywhere I go so kudo to the chef! Highly recommended You have gained a loyal customer“

“My breakfast, my lunch always are the best, and the cooking guys all over new York no one better then this guys. THE OWNER, AND THE WORKING PEOPLE, ARE ALWAYS GIVE YOU AWESOME SERVICE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING.The Best wishes for your business.“

“Neat corner deli in Long Island City. I got egg & cheese bagel sandwiches here a couple times and they were better than I expected for a deli. The price is really cheap too: $3 for the whole sandwich. I do recommend getting an extra egg because the bagels themselves are NY bagel thickness so half an egg per half bagel just won't be enough to get the taste. Pepper jack cheese over american, preference.“

“Such a great place, deli is full variety like a supermarket and it has many Mexican products even piñatasI was surprised they have a table and full Mexican food menu in the back. They have beers and sodas and feels like a full service restaurant. Employees are nice and friendly too and the place feels clean.The tortas and chalupas I bought were fresh and the salsa spicy“
