Cincy Gourmet Deli is the BEST Clifton lunch spot. The people who work there are so nice and it's got a cool bodega vibe. They've got great breakfast and lunch, with good vegetarian options and lots of ways to customize. Also, the fries are incredible and the garlic aioli that comes with them is so good. All that for a reasonable price makes this an amazing spot! read more

I am rounding up, but I am also revisiting! Everyone was happy with their meals and a few of us had previous delicious experiences here. My cheesesteak was larger than it appears in pics. It was seasoned well and the garlic mayo took it over the top. The taco fries have good flavor, though not authentic flavors, there was something that was missing, I look forward to a return visit. read more

Love Cincy Gourmet Deli! I've been multiple times and their sandwiches have never disappointed and their prices are hard to beat. I always order some variation of their cold sandwiches (ask them to add more veggies like cucumber or white onion) but I will need to try the other items on their menu sometime! My friends love their chicken salad sandwiches, reubens, and caesar salad wraps. Most recently I ordered a turkey avocado sandwich and I had half for my lunch and the other half for dinner (so sizable portions!). It's always busy but the orders come out fast. There is both indoor and some outdoor seating. read more

Yummy. We both had a Reuben with a potato salad side. The order came out in good time and it was fun to watch them make it behind the counter. There is some seating inside but lots of people getting carry out, the seating and tables had trash left on them. Granted it was busy so they were probably not actively cleaning the tables but it was discouraging to sit down. I would not recommend to anyone with allergies or food restrictions, there is no precaution with cross contamination, they were using the same knife to cut every sandwich and the same surface to make every sandwich on as well. Overall nice! read more

Had lunch here with our daughter after we moved her into her dorm at UC. Great sandwich shop right next to campus. The place is busy so be prepared to wait or call in your order in advance. Between the three of us we had the Philly cheese steak, buffalo chicken wrap, and tuna melt. The sandwiches were reasonably priced and nice sizes. We liked the Philly cheesesteak best then the tuna melt then the buffalo chicken wrap. It was not that the buffalo chicken wrap was bad it was just really messy. Check this place out if you are around UC. read more

This place was absolutely slammed when I went. Line out the door. But the wait wasn't too bad. The food was pretty solid for it being a smaller deli. The vibe was great read more

Little corner spot where all the Magic happens in front of you. Even at 11 on a lazy summer Monday there was a short line. But well worth it. Had a breakfast BLT on everything bagel and it was spot on. Eggs were perfect for sandwich. Gooey but not runny. Big menu and you can swap things around. Looks like a pork free establishment but there turkey bacon was fine with me. Prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. Could have split my blt easily. read more

Great food all around in a great location and super friendly staff. They have halal meats but you have to ask which ones. Today, it was just chicken, so we got the shawarma fries and the melanese sandwiches, both of which hit the spot. Very reasonable prices as well! read more

A little piece of New York in Cincinnati! If you've ever visited New York, you know how great the Bodegas are. Well, luckily we have one right here in Clifton! This place has everything you can imagine from salads to sandwiches to cheesesteaks. My personal favorite is the pesto panini. There are so many options for drinks as well. It is a perfect stop for a quick lunch or a light dinner. Highly recommend! read more

The sandwiches are FIRE!! And so affordable!! And not to mention they come out so fast and fresh. What a gem

Sandwich was great and Greek salad, service table and able to sit outside, price I are good, food is fresh at the time you put the order in

ABSOLUTE PEAK. Cincy Gourmet is one of my top 2 places to eat around UC. Amazing food, great prices. I have eaten so many chicken caesar wraps from here. Also, the Nashville hot chicken goes crazy. The desserts are amazing, get the double chocolate cake--it's so moist. They use ganache! Ganache. This deli is my Mecca read more

Great stop after a visit to the zoo. Menu has good variety. The cold case with sides and desserts was packed with delicious options. Staff helpful and service was quick. We will likely make this a new stop after our trips to the zoo. read more

Have returned since this and it was great service, truly must of been a fluke incident the first time. i would recommend since prices are fair and food is pretty good too! read more

Food is good, service is really friendly, and despite how busy they almost always are it never takes very long to get your food. Make sure you get a smoothie! read more

great wraps - fast and tasty - good variety. was good for lunch. Would definitely go there again

Went in on a Monday about 2:15 and it was very busy! Obviously a well loved place! I asked for a rec from a regular who said "everything is amazing, but I love the Rueben". It was gonna be car food so I couldn't do that but I did get a chicken parm panini for hubby, chopped cheese for me, and a turkey avocado wrap in case we didn't like one of those (saveable for later). I watched them make them all and they are efficient and proficient! Also very clean. Hubs loved the chicken parm panini. Fried chicken breast and mozzarella and marinara pressed; very tasty. I really liked the chopped cheese - it's almost like a maid rite on a hoagie (if you are blessed to know that glorious sandy from Greenville, Oh). Sooo decadently satisfying like a chopped burger smothered in American and flat top onions should be. The turkey avo wrap was good, but not exciting like the other two. The owner?manager? Let me have a verde sauce which was spicy and delish! Loved it on the turkey avo. Will definitely stop here again when seeing the doc at UC. Btw, not great parking so park around the corner on the street and walk down. Prices were good, about $7-$8 per sandwich (waaaay better and more food than Panera). Definitely give it a try. read more

Don't expect quick service, but it's well worth the wait. Everything that comes out is delicious

This place rocks it's busy for a reason. Service is great sandwich options are awesome the dessert options, etc. etc. you might have to wait 10 minutes but it's well worth it. read more

Such a college/clifton staple. Amazing prices, high quality, many choices, and a kind staff- what more could you want!

Have worked at UC for a long time and ashamed to say that I just tried Cincy Gourmet Deli this week (I remember the old one and it was dirty and gross). I'm assuming it has new owners, but regardless, I'm impressed. It was clean and had food and beverages nicely displayed. I tried the chopped cheese sandwich and it was delicious. Will definitely go back again and will try other sandwiches. I read other reviews about having to wait a long time to receive their order, but I went at 3pm so my sandwich was made in about 5 minutes. I would highly recommend, especially for UC students (and faculty & staff). read more

I DoorDash from here very frequently and it's always yummy. I appreciate the notes I receive from time to time, sweet employees! Thank u for the Garlic Aioli always lol read more

The food is the bomb Falafel wrap is superb so flavorful and made to perfection. The pesto never tried but my daughter says delicious. The service is as to be expected not bad it's on a college campus. It's small inside but again it's on a college campus which to me indicates it's gonna be delicious. It's always the first stop when we pick our daughter up to hang out or come home from school!! We will always be back!! read more

I was in town from Cleveland and stopped in for a sandwich. I was lucky enough to talk to the owner. He really takes pride in his deli and it shows. The chicken shawarma wrap was delicious! Hot, fresh and so flavorful. Enough for two meals. Can't wait to go back to sample more. The menu is huge. My new go to at UC. read more

Great location for students on campus, good food for lunch, and it is pretty cheap! They accept orders ahead through apps like grub hub and doordash which is very convenient. The sauce that comes with the fries is sooo good, and they have huge fridges with every drink option you could think of, and so many chips etc. I've heard the wait time can be a bit long when you order in store, but our order ahead was done when it said it would be! read more

This place used to be one of my go-to spots, but the last two times I've gone, I've been disappointed. Both times the food was not very good, and the last time I went (a few weeks ago), the service was bad. I get it if you've had a long day, but I walked in and didn't even get acknowledged for like 2 whole minutes. Then the person working forgot to put my order in, so I was sitting there for like 10 minutes before I asked what was taking so long, considering I was the only person in there. She said she forgot to put my order in. I'll probably give it another chance, but three strikes and you're out. read more

So yummy!! I love stopping in for a quick bite to eat on busy days. They have such a wide selection of chips drinks desserts and of course sandwiches! You can get a cold cut or panini the options are truly limitless. The staff has been so friendly every time I've been and also give great recommendations. A perk they offer is that they accept bearcat card for UC students! Highly recommend if you're on the go and want a filling and affordable lunch read more

Wow. I am at a loss for words. The variety of stuff they have in there is amazing, something for everyone. I got a falafel and it is delightful. So many sandwiches, deserts, chip and drink flavors. Everything you would need for a pick me up all in one place. My falafel is getting cold because I am writing this, but it is just worth it because I need to get the word out there. I just took another bite and wow. What an amazing place read more

This place offers the largest list of sandwiches including hamburgers shawarma turkey subs plus breakfast egg sandwich options. The size is good for the price. The beef Ruben was excellent. The meat layers tasty the Philly chicken included a nice softer hoagie and good amount of chicken and cheese. The chicken shawarma had good authentic garlic sauce and pickles. Many more sandwiches to try in the future. Great carry out place. read more

As a college student I love their food! I think they have good prices and to me it's something quick and easy to get for dinner!

This place is absolutely delicious! It is conveniently located close to UC campus. The staff is super nice and pay close attention to detail while preparing your order. The food is out of this world! I love their turkey sandwiches and the prices can't be beat. When the weather is nice there is also outdoor seating. There is a parking lot so you don't have to worry about finding street parking. I 10/10 recommend ! read more

We stopped by on our way to an event and UC for a quick bite. It did not disappoint! We had the chicken shawarma rice bowl, Caesar wrap and turkey sandwich. Great bread, quality ingredients, and flavorful! Great value, too. The staff was super polite even when we took forever to order. I wasn't expecting more than a quick sandwich but it was so much more! read more

This place is awesome! Tons of different options for lunch. The food is very good! Would recommend getting here a little before noon and beat the college rush! read more

Got the chicken pesto panini and fries. It was good, but nothing super special, still tasty. The fries had a good seasoning that made them a little sweet and salty at the same time. Cute place, not a lot of parking though. I would come back again if around the area to try their breakfast. read more

Customer service amazing. Ambiance nothing special, but still nice & can eat inside if you want. I tried the chipotle sandwich & a turkey club panini. Both decent, but bread for the sandwich too hard for my liking & i should've added extra sauce. Overall, still cool & I'll definitely be back to try some new things next time. read more

Great service, fair prices, OK food quality. They have a wide variety of both food and drinks which is nice.
