In a small town like Malverne, you only have three decent delis to choose from, and every morning it’s the same story, long lines. When you’re trying to grab breakfast before work, every minute counts. Add in a full parking lot, no spots out front, and now you’re parking on the street risking a ticket. And if you live in Malverne, you know the “friendly” meter maid, he’s quick with those tickets. It sucks. I don’t think the owner of this deli realizes what we go through just trying to support a local business. In my attempt to save time, I call my order in ahead. But if I still have to wait on line just to tell the counter guy I’m there for pickup, it defeats the whole purpose. Creating two lines would fix this: one for people who call ahead (like me, who’s late everywhere) and one for walk-ins. You’d streamline the phone order process, serve more customers, and make mornings a lot smoother. Funny enough, I had this same conversation with a few neighbors, and they said they skip buying breakfast in town altogether for this exact reason.
My second suggestion: have one person dedicated to charging customers. It doesn’t make sense for the guys behind the counter who are preparing food to put on rubber gloves, grab money, make change, and then go right back to handling food with the same gloves.
Besides that, when you do have time, enjoy the food because it’s great!

I ordered my bagel and I went to a new place and this was the new place I want to And I asked a toasted bagel The bagel wasn’t toasted. The service was unfriendly and it was $17 total it was unfortunate and I’m not gonna come back again

Absolutely love this place! I come here every single day and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, the service is quick, and the atmosphere feels like home. Every staff member goes above and beyond — they know your order, your name, and always greet you with a smile. The entire team is friendly, hardworking, and makes you feel like family. Hands down, my favorite deli!

Let me be the one to say on 12/8/24. This is my first time at this deli and they pearled this sandwich like no other. Pearled = Perfected 🥰🥰

Racist customer service. Threw my food at me so I wouldn't enter. Say's he is told to serve pale-skinned people only.

The skinny tall young Kid behind the counter was feeding a customers dog by hand and proceeded to handle food without washing hands or using gloves after the matter. I told the older employee to let him know he did nothing about it. That is gross
Malverne deli is excellent! I use their online ordering, always ready on time, perfectly packaged and a delicious. What a great addition!

I ordered the " fit panini " from grubhub menu. It's grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese, tomato, basil, roasted red peppers and balsamic vinaigrette. I didn't get cheese on it but Jesus it could've been compensated by putting more roasted peppers, basil and tomatoes. Instead I got all this chicken and one tiny piece of roasted pepper. Just look at the picture. Sad. Just sad. And this was $15.99. Not my place of choice to ever get food from but my co workers chose this place ?
