It's ok, but not raving awesomeness! I came in for a snack and got to sample the broccoli and cauliflower in sesame dressing and it had a good crunch though a bit oily on the tongue. Beet and arugula salad was also ok, but had a bit too much mayo. Came back later in the day for a cup of soup and guy behind the counter recommended the veggie puree soup. It was healthy, but completely bland and flavorless. Only good thing about it was the free roll you get to accompany your cup. You get a choice of roll. I picked the 7 grain, it was a bit chewy (meaning not totally fresh), but it did have a nice sweetness to it that i enjoyed. Severs were busy and on a roll trying to get orders out and make sandwiches and drinks for people, so they were not too friendly; but they weren't rude either. I was able to grab a table to sit and it was nice to relax by the window, looking out into the cold bustling city from a safe warm space where i could disconnect from the rush and breathe as i slowly sipped on my hot soup, blowing steam from each spoonful. Would i come back here again? Yes, if i find myself in this part of town, i would give this place another chance. there were many many options to chose from and maybe i didn't chose the best ones, but a lot of them looked very appealing and i was left wanting to try some of their other soups and colorful salads in the glass display. read more

While I was disappointed in my last sandwich for lunch -- from http://www.yelp.com/biz/av0uPbK4E-ARXWZX014i1Q?hrid=PqYjWQYy9H-_Jz3nNCewFg -- I'm quite pleased with the sandwich that I'm eating right now. Turkey, sharp cheddar, watercress, and lingonberries on whole wheat bread. Freshly made. With honey mustard. It's like Thanksgiving dinner in your hands. The bread alone is worth trying out -- hefty, with a chewy crust. For dessert, I got an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips -- a rare treat. It, too, is good, even though I tend to like my cookies on the chewy side. read more

On a frosty winter evening, I was trudging through the West Village on my way to my Writers Group. I was a little hungry, a little cold, and when I nipped down a side street, I stumbled accross Bonsignour, lit up like a welcoming hearth on a snowy night. How to make me very happy... steamed hot coco and an empanada like my imaginary Argentinian Grandmother-in-law would make. (hey, a girl can dream) This small cafe with a display case of pre-made yummie looking food is a gem. Nice music, nice artwork, benches out front, cute smiling staff. GREAT steamed hot coco. Small, but tasty beef empanada in a lovely flaky crust. $6.00 was a little pricey for cheap old me but for the West Village, well worth it. (And NOT Starbucks!) read more

Fantastic! Cheap, fast, gourmet. Long lines but no wait. Spinach Timbales $2.50 10 min meal.

Being a huge fan of french food, I was really excited to stumble upon this quaint little spot near my new office. To be honest, it's a little tricky at lunch time - a very small venue with not a lot of room to wait indoors (and an inward-swinging door. Wah!) However, the food is really delicious. I constantly order the 2-salad option, which is plenty of food, and their salads are awesome. I highly recommend the couscous salad (tomatoes, feta, green onions, so great), with either their avocado/tomato salad or the potato salad. Everything looks amazing in there, though, and decently priced for the quality. Their sandwiches are also fantastic. I am a fan of the turkey sandwich with avocado and herb mayo. Try it! Go! But order, or go early or after the rush. :) read more

The coffee is realy bad. It tastes acid and they heated up the milk way to long so you end up with a burnt taste. I complained about my undrinkable almond late. They made me another one which I highly appreciated. However the efforts. The coffee tasted as bad as the first one. So I suggest you to go somewhere else to have a tasty beverage. The food however is very tasty and well seasoned ass well is the price. I really suggest their bread which is delici read more

One of my favorite quick bites in the city! The chicken curry is superb, as is the meatloaf hot sandwich.

Always love a rustic, worn in cafe, where the aroma of coffee and the sight of cake awakens your senses. The coffee was just great . read more

Really yummy selection of Italian subs. Beware of long wait times when they get busy, but in my opinion, it's worth the wait.

I used to live next to this little coffee spot. Even after moving across town I still frequent here for delicious salads, poached salmon and amazing soy lattes! Tiny spot with benches outside and colorful locals to chat up. If it's too crowded go to the vegan coffeehouse around the corner called 'Snice. Or grab a Gwyneth Paltrow style juice at Organic Avenue. read more

Bonsignour is the cute little sandwich shop that you want to live by in any city. It's good, quick and always reliable (not to mention it's mere walking distance from my bf's apt! SCORE!) The food is always good and so is the coffee. So far I've had the breakfast sandwiches, their salads and a panini or two. The breakfast sandwiches do not disappoint, especially if you're looking for something filling to soak up the booze you drank from the night before. Ham and swiss with eggs on a croissant? Yes please, don't mind if I do! I LOVE the create your own salad option because I'm pretty picky about what I want on my salads from day to day... I mean who doesn't like to be able to create a salad that is specially made for them?! :) Their homemade balsamic dressing is a bit mustardy though, so for those who HATE mustard, you might want to choose something else. Their paninis are delicious too and they have a huge menu of other salads and sandwiches. I have yet to try their salad bar but that is next on my list! One of my fave parts of this place is the benches outside. You know this place is good when you see locals hanging out on the benches chatting. This place has the quintessential neighborhood feel that is signature of the Village. Another plus is the dog bowls filled with water they leave outside, I mean even my pup Oliver is a fan of this place! In sum, if you're ever in the area, you have to check this place out! read more

I really liked this joint. I would have given it five stars but it seems silly to give a small cafe five stars. I went three times, all for breakfast. The iced coffees are huge and the order comes quickly. The breakfast sandwiches take a while to make but at least you know they are fresh. The cheese options are a nice change from the norm. I was impressed by how friendly the staff was and how simple the prepared salads where. Nothing was covered in ranch or mayo, which is a big change. I am not a huge dog person, and with that being said, I was a bit taken back by how many dogs were in the restaurant. It is a dog friendly spot but it is also tiny so there really is no where to go when a dog starts licking you leg. You pretty much just have to stand there and pretend you are ok with it. Good thing the lady gave me a free cookie (for being such a good sport) or I am sure this would be a three star review. Anywho, check it out! read more

This place was amazing. It was near our hotel, so we stopped in one evening before heading to Chelsea for a movie. The employees are great, including one cute guy (sorry, I feel that this information is relevant) who was as friendly as the day is long, and had great conversation with some regulars. It's nice and cozy in there, and the prices are pretty decent for what you get. I had some spinach and feta thing that was amazing, and a turkey/brie/honey mustard situation on a baguette that was incredible. The food took a few minutes but was worth the wait. I'd love to go back. read more

Have you ever had a craving for chicken fingers? Well I do. Often. And I must admit that I'm a little reluctant to yelp about these tasty delights available at Bonsignour (what is that, French?). I'm afraid there will be a run on the 'fingers, similar to what has sadly happened at Magnolia Bakery when everyone learned about their cupcakes. For you S.A.T. whizzes (yes, that's the plural form): Magnolia : Cupcakes :: Bonsignour : Chicken Fingers For years, I have tried to figure out the algorithm by which they serve these little buggers -- b/c they are not available everyday. No sir. Well I JUST found out. It's Wednesdays and Saturdays (and some Thursdays). There. The cat is out of the bag. Oh, and when they ask if you want the dipping sauce. Say, "You betcha!" But leave some for me, please. This gourmet joint, tucked away on Jane Street, serves soups, sandwiches, a variety of salads, specialty dishes, deserts & more. Try a turkey & cheese on black bread, or a quarter piece of chicken with beet salad & a raisin walnut roll. Meatloaf, stuffed chicken, salmon -- it's all good. You must try their timbales (mushroom or cheese). Delish. Many of their goods are on display in their glass counter. So go and gawk away. You can eat in at their 3 small wooden tables, or take away. And try the chicken fingers (did I say that already?). I'm eating them as I type... read more

I visit this little French gem frequently and it is AMAZING. Great soups, great sandwiches, and great bread rolls / croissants. Their salad deals are a great value - and all of the above is a satisfying lunch or breakfast. The BEST though is without a doubt their cookies. The hamantaschen, the little linzer cookies, and ruggelach all truly melt in your mouth. And when you want a tiny sweet treat, they are perfect. Everything I've ever had tastes super fresh & even when there is a long line, I usually am in and out sort of fast. I recommend visiting here for a great little casual meal. Don't expect to sit down though, just a few small tables in an already small space. Best bet is to grab food & go over to 9th ave, the Highline, or the little squares around this cafe. read more

I love this place. Staff is pretty friendly, food is great and sort of on the heathy tip. Not too expensive...it's my lunch go to. I direct all my clients here. read more

Bonsignour - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Tiny little cafe which sells sandwichs, salads and other prepared foods. It gets really busy during lunch time. After placing your order you stand aside or in the back to let other people pass and wait until they call your name with your order. Sometimes it can take awhile. Other times it can be quick if they already had some premade and ready to go. I love the sandwiches here especially the chicken and avocado, but they are all good. read more

This sandwich shop is definitely reliable for certain sandwiches, I'm sure, since the one I had (number 18) was excellent, but my companion's sandwich was dry and overall unsatisfying. However, we did not try the coffee or the various salads (both which seemed to be the most popular things for other customers), so my rating would probably be higher! The atmosphere was nice and homey, and the music selection was excellent (I enjoy listening to the Beach Boys in the 21st century). I'd like to return to try the other food, but I'm not yet in love. read more

Yummy place to grab a quick, hearty salad on the go - if I still lived in the area I could definitely see myself regularly grabbing a quick bite to take home after a long work day. It's mostly a to-go place but they have a few tables inside, as well. In addition to pre-made salads and baked goods, they have a full menu of made-to-order sandwiches, etc. I tried a bowtie pasta salad with feta, tomatoes and greens (kale?) and really enjoyed it. Their chicken and apple curry salad also looked delish. Minus one point for lackluster service, but maybe it was an off day. If I'm in the hood and looking for a snack, I'll be sure to stop by! read more

Very cozy cafe serving yummy hot chocolate. Bonus PTs for having soy milk for a fragile lactose intolerant like me.

Unreal neighborhood gem. Such inventive, delicious, and healthy lunch options. Great arnold palmers, too :)

We were here a while back and I think the sandwiches were OK, that was the draw... read about real good sandwiches. The thing that stuck though, and this was annoying. I paid for the sammies and the guy didn't give me change as if I was going to leave a fat tip for take-out sandwiches. I had to like wait for him to stop ignoring me so I could flag him down and ask for my change which was like 4 or 5 bucks back from a 20. Sorry dude, tips are for people to leave, not for you to just take. read more

Has a good ambience, is quick, conveniently located. But that was supposed to be a baguette? And you sell these to people? read more

Great place and excellent service with a smile. If you ever get the chance to meet the owner, Danny, that'll also be a treat for you. The bench outside in front is the best place to sit and eat your food while admiring the beauties that pass by. The interior is a bit small but the seating is comfortable and the mosaic pillar in the window is gorgeous. It would be nice to have more of it around the store. My only issue is that there is no restroom but it's just a small cafe so I guess that's no big deal. You MUST get the Chicken Fingers here! They are GREAT!! read more

Love all their salad options and the baguettes are great! Cute outdoor space as well.

So difficult to review Pros: best coffee in Manhattan, possibly some of the best coffee i've had in the world, including Latin America and Europe. Their food is delicious and their catering is reliable and fun and always disappears rapidly at parties. Cons: The employees. The employees are (mostly) awful. No other words for them. Some of the longtimers are great (one guy is horrible and has been for over 10 years) but the revolving doors of annoying youngsters that dance around and chat and gossip behind the counter when you simply want your coffee is ridiculous. It was much more reliable when owned by the previous guy. read more

This is a small-scale neighborhood deli. Fellow West Villagers can compare this to "Ready to Eat" on Hudson, just a few blocks south. But Bonsignour is the better of the two, and better priced, in my opinion. I go here mostly for their prepared foods, but they also do made-to-order egg (and regular) sandwiches, salads, and other tasty items. I'm a big fan of their curry chicken salad and their beet salad (even though it has corn in it, and corn is EVIL). They also do a really tasty prepared salmon. Their pastries are also rather popular with regulars - which makes this a good stop for a croissant on Saturday or Sunday morning. And the chai is pretty good, too (I'm not much of a coffee guy). Single salads run $4.95 for a small and $5.95 for a large; or you can get three together for $11.95 or $12.50 (I forget which it is). The "trio" is a good grab and go for lunch - and if you added some bread and a beverage, and easy-to-share picnic lunch by the Hudson for two (because who picnics on the East River, really? Ha ha.) read more

This is a popular neighborhood spot, you'll always see locals with their kids getting sandwiches. The sandwiches are pretty good, not mind blowing. I got an avocado and Swiss sandwich, it was a bit burned. It was decent though. Unfortunately, it takes forever to get a sandwich. After I ordered it took 15 minutes for my rather simple sandwich and there was no one ahead of me. So if you go, just be prepared to wait. I prefer Snice a block over. read more

The cubano sandwich was EXCELLENT. Cute little place, the prices I felt like were not too bad considering the location. The rugalach I got after seeing other reviews - correct choice. They were like tiny delicious pies. Only thing- counter staff should be careful gossiping, some of us gringas know stealth Spanish. Me entienden? read more

Have not been here is 4 years and they are just what I remember. Quality food with a flare for taste. One of the smallest food shops in the city, they pack in the best for their clients. Coffee, one of the b est in the West Village area. Chili, salad and sandwiches. A must for anyone who travels to Jane Street. read more

SLOW and righteous about it. Half an hour for cold sandwiches, that were mediocre at best. Made on yesterday's bread.

I love this place. Don't let the appearance of a tiny seating area fool you. We always grab our food to go and sit on the benches outside in the sun. The choice of sandwiches and breads are amazing. Have been here many times and always have great food. read more

I have been getting salads here recently and love their mustard vinegarete. They have a lot of well made prepared foods. So far I've had their cold beet salad and tomato and avocado salad. Both were very nice. Staff is friendly. Small tables for dine in, though I haven't eaten there yet. read more

I used to include Bonsignour in my lunchtime rotation only for the yummy chicken and sundried tomato salad (which isn't available every day) which was overpriced but delicious. Everything else I found kind of meh and waaay overpriced. But I'm a little biased because I'm now boycotting. When I sat down to eat lunch with some colleagues the heater BURNED A HOLE THOUGH MY COAT. When I told the manager, she said they would reimburse me for half of the repairs (I late found out the coat can't be repaired). When I politely told the manager they should turn the heater down she said, "You're the first person who's ever had a problem. We don't even have to give you anything." ummm, customer service? read more

Stopped by here for lunch today. Crowded inside, but not too long of a wait. Only three tiny tables next to the counter, so everyone in line is basically standing next to you. The two benches that seat three in front of the shop are better for people-watching anyway. We ordered the Cuban panini which was pretty tasty. More pickles would have been better. The coffee was only warm, not hot, so not happy. A huge selection of sandwiches and so nice looking soups. read more

Danilo is terrific! I've used his company for several events and he never fails to deliver high quality food and excellent customer service. He is the one of the only caterer's in NY that I've worked with that doesn't try to gouge his customers with outrageous pricing! I highly recommend using Danilo and his team for any of your catering needs. read more

Keeping in mind that this is premade takeout food, i would say this place is pretty amazing. Bonsignor fulfills a variety of cravings with incredibly high quality ingredients. Whether you want to gorge yourself on comfort food or take a quick coffee break with a pastry, this is the place to stop. The coffee is good (and i dont say coffee is good unless it really is good) the sandwiches are delish, the curry chicken salad is a favorite. The deserts are out of this world. In a cityfull of chains like Au... and Pret... its easy to forget how authentic versions of those products are really supposed to taste. Bonsignor toils to make this stuff right and you get to just walk in whenever you feel like it and indulge. read more

This place never fails. It's always open, always reliable, and the coffee is hot and black and sweet. Just like the staff. I would live there if they had a bed for me. read more

Good coffee, good experence, great staff. Love the food, too!

In my 3 years living around the corner from Bonsignour, I thoroughly enjoyed the food - sandwiches, salads, breakfast, prepared foods, etc. In addition to the food, I enjoyed the casual, friendly atmosphere. In the last 6-months, I have noticed a severe change. The staff is extremely rude. When you ask about an item in the case, it is as if your question is the utmost inconvenience. Aside from the attitude, the shop is routinely closed early and the service is remarkably slow for pulling together already prepared foods and cold sandwiches. What has changed? Bonsignour used to be my weekly, go-to local spot that made me love the west village even more; however, now, I am done with the place. read more
