    Such a colorful, awesome little sandwich shop! Nestled in downtown by Pershing Square, Aunt Eleanor's is a hidden gem and worth the visit for sandwich lovers. The shop is bursting with fun colorful decor that instantly stands out from any other sandwich shop, and the sandwich itself is really tasty, too. I ordered The "Nor Nor" which is an oven-roasted peppered turkey sandwich with bacon, creamy havarti pesto, garlic sauce, pepperoncini, iceberg lettuce, and potato chips in a crispy House Dutch bread. There was so much flavor with every bite, and it was very fulfilling without being too heavy. I definitely want to come back to explore the rest of their menu!

    The Nor Nor before I tore it up!!!!

    So far I've had 3 of the 5 house sandwiches. And so far they were all . It's a tie between the NorNor & Bo$$ Tycoon. They use Dutch Crunch which is some OG sandwich place ish! The inside looks like a previous psychedelic trip (but that's a story for another time) Anyways this spot is great. Would recommend to the homies

    Opening Soon

    Ok Yelpers, let's get this cool little sandwich some business!! Today was opening day and I happen to be the first customer, which made me happy because I've been waiting two months for this place to open. When she opened the door, she asked me what I wanted and I'm like "what do you have?" (they were out or a couple of things because they had a refrigerator issue that delayed their opening today), so I said, "why don't you make me what you want me to have" and I ended up with a sandwich called 'I ham what I ham" and it's super good and I definitely recommend it and I'm looking forward to going back and try some more sandwich juice and I'm relying on your reviews to help me learn more! The place has a super cool vibe very well decorated and some great music and the staff and owner are super polite and so chill, so please DTLA, let's make sure this business sticks around!

    The interior is amazing! So many cool collectibles, art, hand painted signs, custom mayo and mustard tables... and they have Dutch crunch bread! The best bread with great spreads and toppings. I will definitely be back

    The Dutch crunch is unreal. They load up on toppings on the sandwich too, it's amazing.

This place is literally one of the most beautiful things you could see in this area. Don't pass up the chance to try the pastrami chili cheese fries either. There's too many good things. I ate my sandwich so fast it almost evaporated.

    $30+ for a sandwich in the middle of a drug ridden hood. Sure why not!!…read more Food: Pastrami sandwich is absolutely amazing. It is a large portion so technically you can split it with someone...or...do what I did and just stuff yourself. The pastrami is soft and tender. Service: Absolutely tentative staff. You can tell the employees are treated well here. They welcome you in with a smile. Environment: City of Los Angeles should be ashamed of themselves for letting this area go to ruins. They deserve better. The parking lot if far so you have to walk through druggies. Price: Very pricey for a sandwich. While I can't say it is not worth it, I definitely won't be eating this once a month. Food: 5 Service: 5 Environment: 2 Price: 3

It came with a perfectly toasted garlic roll that complemented the meal so well. My friend ordered the Heights Sandwich and absolutely loved it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I would definitely recommend ordering ahead for pickup. There's also a parking lot behind the deli, which makes picking up your order quick and convenient. I'll definitely be back!

So it's quite the coup that I finally made it on over to the Heights DABS! A slice of that 18 inch pie is on the brain today as I skip up the mini-staircase into the joint. Having just come from another not-to-be-named Pizza spot in the DTLA to NELA corridor, my hangdog face belies my energetic hoppin-pep-in-the-step into Heights, shaking off a droopy and disappointingly dry slice amidst the brain-bleeding profanity laced hate-punk screaming over that joint's speakers as I sized up the Margherita I always use as an avatar to benchmark how we dooooin' in the pizza quality and taste department no matter where I go. I confess I've been captured and SPOILED by love affairs with Greek Pizza in Boston, Deep Dish in Chicago, NYC greezy gooey goodness at 3am, and of course the ultimate seduction of sublime simplicity of the Neapolitan Pizzas of Napoli. Yes, I am a sucker for the traditional brick oven Margheritas and Bufalinas of Italia, just that simple barometer of OG greatness, minimalistic bliss. Less than 5 bucks and 10 min later, I'm ambling down said teeny stairs with a large warm white cardboard box that seems far too large for a mere SLICE. Have they made a packaging error? I was expecting a small thin wilty Dixie plate! These days, we don't wanna waste cardboard, do we? Driving off, I contemplate a spot to pull over along the Arroyo Seco to enjoy my dining behind the wheel. I just can't hold in my wondering, patience is definitely NOT a virtue when curiosity is just killing this Jazz Cat. A quick stop at a red light later, I can't hold it in any longer. FLIP. UP. THAT. LID! Daaaaaaammmnnnn! That is one MONSTROUS slice, as I slyly smile in astonishment! But my sly smile slowly segues to sadness, then semi-panicked confusion, disorientation, even! For THIS is not the Margherita one familiarly recognizes as the artistic minimalistic masterpiece a proper Neapolitan Margherita MUST BE! I am starting to get anxious, angsty, and now a bit ANGRY! what a fool I was! Instead I am misled into chow down mode to consume a Godzilla-sized molten mess of mossy dry basil haphazardly strewn about to and fro across the pie, resembling katsuo bonito flakes dancing around in the disarray of their differential dehydration! Inexplicably, jagged rows of somewhat square Roma tomatoes are lined up in lazy formations like a disorganized military company. What's more, the gooey globs of mozzarella are NOT expertly anchored down to the bed of cheese below, supposed to cling to the pie while providing just enough protruding relief like an old globe map with a mountain range rising above the horizon. Nope, they are instead here and there and almost everywhere, seemingly untethered to the matrix of cheese below, chaotically floating around like slightly rectangular glops of pale possible goodness?!!? JT, hold it together, you must attack this mess while it's still hot. Beep Beep! THE LIGHT HAS TURNED GREEN MANY SECONDS AGO! Get thee to the Arroyo! Minutes later, I'm at my perch. I bite into the unruly beast. I am pleasantly greeted by a most satisfying CRUNCH! Then a chewy tug-tremendous! Then the mass of basil flakiness flying through my mouth and down the hatch, chased by those deeeelish misshapen untethered white cubes o' cheesiness charging down my throat aside tons of tumbling tomatoes! It's an absolute avalanche of WOW! It's like there's a party in my mouth, and the most unlikely heroes showed up and showed out! Let's add the Unconventional Neapolitanical Pizzas of Lincoln Heights to the Lovefest List! Heights DABS, you've made my day. On to meet up with long lost friends converging in HP from nearby points dearly loved, I'm feelin' GRRRREEEEAT! DONE.

Everyone who works there is incredibly kind and welcoming, treating customers like family. As someone with celiac disease, I always order their lettuce-wrapped sandwiches, and they are phenomenal. The buffalo chicken is especially delicious. Their pepper poppers are my all-time favorite snack. I always order extra so I can keep the fridge stocked. Beyond the deli, the market itself is exceptional. The selection of groceries is one of the most thoughtfully curated collections of products I've ever seen. Skip Erewhon. Go to Bay Cities. It's a Los Angeles institution for a reason.
