About Ben & Esther’s Vegan Delicatessen

Ben & Esther’s Vegan Delicatessen offers a delightful experience with a variety of options. The Lizzo sandwich is a favorite among customers, and the Reuben sandwich comes in biodegradable packaging. All dishes have classic names but are 100% vegan. The food is outstanding, with items like the grand puba, New Yorker, and French dip being highly praised. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the vegan menu, contributing to a great atmosphere. Free parking is available on side streets. For those who enjoy bagels, the salt bagel with egg, cheese, and sausage is a hit, as is the veggie combo on a poppyseed bagel with red potato and dill potato salad. The carrot lox and capers on a fresh bagel with nondairy cream cheese also receive great reviews. Customers have praised the sandwiches’ perfect preparation and tasty flavors, with some taking extras on picnics. The neon "For The Animals" sign and artwork on the building catch visitors’ attention and add to the vibe. Many find the place a weekly stop for delicious vegan deli sandwiches they dream about. However, some visitors noted that the outside and inside tables could use a little TLC to make the space more inviting, with a suggestion for adding some plants to create a warmer, more cozy atmosphere.
