    Grilled ham and cheese added bacon
    Wesley M.

    Sandwiches are great here, super tasty and filling. Ambiance is immaculate. I love the classical music and service was fast and respectful. Definitely will be back for lunch more often.

    A hot, delicious, fresh bowl of chili was perfect for a rainy day. Will definitely go back for more!

    I decided to go to Cafe O' Deli for a warm bowl of chili on a rainy cold Monday. The fall in Cali is not usually cold but due to the rain, I chose something warm. They had a few different soup choices but I chose chili because it's hearty and full of protein. I ordered the half sandwich and soup combo thinking it will be enough for a light lunch. To my surprise, the bowl of chili was amazing! The owner told me that their soup is made fresh daily and not from a can. Wow I can really taste the difference. The chili was full of beans, and ground beef. It was topped with cheese, crackers, and my favorite, Tabasco sauce and boy, it was the perfect combination of tangy spicy and heartiness. I also ordered the hot pastrami sandwich on a baguette bread. Usually baguette breads are hard and too brittle but not the bread here. They did a great job in keeping the bread with perfect softness. I especially enjoyed extra pickles with the right amount of mustard. While the seating area was not crowded because the time was late afternoon, I highly recommend this place. It's cozy, friendly, and the food was perfect! Bon a-petite~

    This way!

    Oh yeah! the O'riginal Club sandwich was a winner. The presentation (albeit in a plastic to go box) was pleasant. I ordered the wheat bread toasted and it came out just right. The sandwich was filling. I ate half and I saved the rest for later. Easy access? Check! Right off the 5 and the 133 Simpsons Dart Board? Check! Plenty of parking? Check! Nice place for lunch.

    Avocado Toast~ Looks awesome!

    Excellent place to grab a healthy meal. Their Avocado Toast stole my heart. Great atmosphere and indoor and outdoor dining.

    Veggie Sandwich with Turkey

    This is my favorite sandwich spot! It is very clean and well maintained. Sandwich is always made with fresh ingredients. Plus, staffs are very friendly. This is a hidden gem if you work around office park nearby Spectrum where you need a little break from crowd. Parking is very easy as well. I highly recommend this cafe.

    Before I give my review on how amazing the food is, I want to give a huge shout out to Matthew…read more Matthew was very welcoming, friendly, and joyful. He knew the menu right off the bat and told me that whatever I want to include or exclude on my breakfast burrito, that he's got me. A++ Service I got the turkey and bacon breakfast burrito. The only thing I regret is not getting another one. The burrito was FIRE! The green salsa was the cherry on top. When Freddy says this is healthy food, he is not playing around. It is as healthy as it can get. Fresh ingredients and not cooked in seed oils. Ever since I changed my diet a year and a half ago, most restaurants food make my body shut down and/or make my stomach hurt. I am very glad that wasn't the case with Freddy's Deli. I will 100% be back! (Sorry I did not take a picture. It tasted so good, after the first bite I was in food heaven and next thing you know the burrito was gone.)

    Nothing remarkable honestly. Got the turkey avocado deli sandwich. It was a solid turkey sandwich,…read morebut honestly not that much better than the deli aisle at a supermarket but with higher prices. I enjoyed the sandwich but was strangely still hungry after. So how does this place have a 5-star overall rating? Signs posted all over; give us a 5-star review for free chips and a drink. Lame! Hope no one falls for it.

    Have you seen all the hefty sandwiches in Benjie's Yelp photo gallery???! Enticing, to say the…read moreleast! I grabbed my foodie friend and headed out to check things out first hand. Pulling into the parking lot, I knew this was a very well loved restaurant because the lot was packed ~ and it's a pretty good sized lot! Walking up to the door, it's pretty obvious, in a good way, that it's an establishment that's been around for a while. With bustling deli and pastry cases near the entrance, Benjie's instantly gives off a Cheers vibe, even for this first timer. There's a counter to sit at if you're dining solo, or if you've got more people in your party there are plenty of traditional booths and tables. The menu is extensive with all of the traditional deli/diner favorites. In order to try more, we decided to split everything. We ordered Reuben Fritters as a starter, a Pastrami sandwich on a French roll, and cheese blintzes for dessert. The Reuben Fritters were a nice take on the sandwich with a mixture of tender corned beef and the perfect amount of cheeses and sauerkraut rolled in bread crumbs and fried to perfection. The pastrami sandwich was piled high with meat and served with a side of onion rings. We were already getting full at this point, but we couldn't resist the cheese blintzes that were patiently waiting for us to give them a try. I swear I don't live under a rock, but I've never had blintzes before and these were VERY good! We went with the traditional preparation, although I read someone's review that said these could also be requested fried. Definitely worth a try next time. I'm imagining pure decadence! Our server was friendly and kept on top of keeping our beverages filled and checking to see if we needed anything. We left filled with excellent comfort food and an overall great experience. Looking forward to trying some more things on the menu soon!

    What We Ordered: * Smoked Fish Platter: (Lox, whitefish, or…read morecombo -- served with coleslaw, potato salad, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, two bagels, cream cheese & Greek olives -- serves two) * The Benjie Special: (Hot pastrami with coleslaw & Russian dressing on rye) My Thoughts: We love finding mom and pop diners, and this spot felt like such a gem. You can tell they've been around for a long time in the best way. It has that classic deli feel with a mix of diner, café, and old school market vibes. Service was friendly and helpful, even during the lunch rush. We went around 1 PM on a Thursday, so it was definitely busy, but the wait felt expected and worth it. Portion wise, they do not hold back. You really get a bang for your buck here. The smoked fish platter was the highlight for me. I genuinely loved everything on it. It's perfect for sharing (or for leftovers ). It almost feels like a DIY bagel experience you get to mix and match different toppings and flavors, which I'm obsessed with. Also... I tried an egg bagel for the first time and it lowkey changed my life. They make their bagels in house and sell them by the half dozen but they do sell out. By the time we finished eating, they were already out, so if you want some to take home, grab them as soon as you walk in. The Benjie Special was solid super flavorful and packed with a generous amount of pastrami. It did lean a bit greasy for our taste, but that really just comes down to personal preference. They also offer a variety of cold deli items by the pound, which adds to that classic New York-style deli experience. Overall: A cozy, old school deli with generous portions, quality food, and that nostalgic mom and pop charm. Definitely a spot we'd come back to.

The lady at the counter was very polite and friendly and seem happy to help! I got a turkey, avocado on sourdough bread with everything in it. I was surprised with how much avocado they gave. They did not hold back! The whole sandwich was exactly what I was looking for. Also I was happy to found out it comes with pickles too! It added a nice flavor to the sandwich, and the toasted sourdough gave a great crunch while eating. Excited to go back and try out another sandwich! This is perfect place to stop by when you are in a rush, and are trying to eat more clean!
