I've been coming here for years when I lived in Whittier. I've since moved to Huntington Beach and still make the drive up there a couple times a month to workout across the street and come in for lunch and pick up some deli goodies. This place is delicious and Nicol rocks. I'll be back this week! read more

Walked in and ambiance is welcoming and wholesome. Young man provided great service and suggestions. Food is fresh and delicious and you can taste the love. Gotta check it out read more

Little deli and restaurant combo in a very busy shopping district in La Habra. The people who work there are very kind and have an excellent memory for faces. The menu is decent, I'd maybe wish for a few more options on sides but what they do offer is very tasty down the board. And some delicious proper German beers for a reasonable price. I recommend the currywurst in particular, but every sausage I've had there was tasty. All in all, highly recommend it and I will be going back. read more

Very nice place Wonderful service Pleasant staff The ambience is lovely with lots of German decor. I got the bratwurst plate with potato salad and sauerkraut. It was delicious and very filling. They have a special house mustard which is superb. We have been here before and will certainly come back. The only reason why they miss a star is because I wish they let you mix and match. For instance, I would love to have one bratwurst and one knackwurst on a plate with the sauerkraut and the potato salad. Prost! read more

The first time I came here, I dined in with my husband. We thought we should order at the counter, but the friendly lady told us to take a seat in the dining room and she would help us. She was super sweet and we really enjoyed having her as a waitress. I had a ham and cheese sandwich on a french roll, which comes with potato salad and a pickle. He had their currywurst with fried potatoes. We both loved our lunches! My sandwich was basic, but it was exactly what I was looking for, just a solid homemade sandwich. Their potato salad is pretty good, and the pickle was great. His currywurst was delish! The veal sausage they used had a super soft texture and the sauce was heavy on the curry, slightly spicy. I couldn't get enough of the perfectly fried potatoes, I kept sneaking pieces and dragging them through the yummy curry sauce. I returned a couple weeks later solo to pick up lunch to go. This time I went with a Stuffed Cabbage Roll with rye bread on the side. YUM! Only $10 for this super filling lunch, one huge cabbage roll stuffed to the brim with a delicious ground beef mixture, swimming in a big pool of light tomato sauce. Loved sopping up the sauce with my bread. I will definitely be back often to try more of their amazing German menu! read more

The food is generally light, clean, and not too strong in flavor, which feels healthy. But since I'm not very used to this type of cuisine, it felt a bit too simple and didn't really make me feel full. Still, it's a good experience to try it as part of enjoying the variety of foods the world has to offer. read more

Stopped off at this place recommended by a co worker. Ok After a run in chino hills I was definitely hungry and of course it was Oktoberfest season so was craving Bratwurst and a German beer. So found this spot in t Like a little strip mall and walked in. I smiled once I seen the deli with various brats. I grabbed 6 and a pound of German potato salad a couple beers, and some sauerkraut. The people were very friendly and reminded me of the couple years living in Germany. I could not wait to get home and eat my bag of goodies. I threw them in my cooler and drove 35 miles home ok the brats were very good the potato salad isn't what I was used to for German potato salad. I grew up on a heavy vinegar based salad. But this one was definitely very good. I will stop here again when I'm in the neighborhood. Definitely five thumbs up. oh don't forget to get a good German mustard with your brats read more

Simple kindness. My husband is 76 yrs old. He was sitting in a chair outside the business. He's disabled and needed to rest. The table and chair are on public sidewalk. A women came out then went back in to get a man to stand outside next to my husband to intimidate him because he was sitting on a chair. He didn't say a word to him. He just stood there. It's a public sidewalk. Who has that right to make someone feel uncomfortable. Horrible people. Do not patronize a business who are cruel and judgmental. Not worth one star. Good business practice is kindness. read more

My husband wanted a deli sandwich and we were in the area, so we stopped by this cute little German deli. He said the corned beef Reuben was excellent! The kids and I also loved our food! So simple, so good! This deli has the best potato salad! I normally can't stand potato salad and won't eat it; Continental Deli makes a GREAT version of potato salad. Can't wait to come back soon! The owners are very welcoming! Small area for dine-in available. read more

Service was so friendly. I enjoyed the cabbage roll and my husband got the Reuben Sandwich. Recommend both items along with some warmed up homemade apple struedel. Open 7 days a week too! read more

Love this place, great German food. Try their sauerkraut delicious. Owners are very nice as well.

Placed an order for a sandwich platter. The service was excellent and the sandwiches delicious. Highly recommended them!

The food was fantastic! The cheesecake was to die for!!!!!! Pastrami sandwich was delicious, pickle was super crunchy, and potato salad was such great flavor! The Ruben on rye was just the right amount of perfect. The server had a great personality and he was super kind! The lady behind the register was my favorite and she made me and my mother's whole day! What a great place for delicious food and great service with real personalities! And can't forget great beer on tap! read more

I found this place on Yelp and I loved it. I was craving deli style sandwiches and this place was a hit. My kids shared a wiener and potatoes and I got a ham with macaroni salad and hubby got the reuben. We also shopped in the store side of the restaurant and we got chips and peach streusel and apple streusel and cheesecake and I got extra pickles. It's cute and clean and family owned. I love that they have a store attached. I am telling everyone who will listen to me that they need to come check this place out. read more

We wanted some German food. This place does not even cime close to German Food. The Weiswurst was rolled in some souce and the potatoes came out of the air fryer without any seasoning. Way overpriced. But the kicker was when I entered the Market. Usually I spent ca 150.oo per visit. Of all the items in the store there was not one single one with a pice. When I asked the lady why there are no prices listed she told me that I have to ask. Really? does the price depend on what car is parked in front? Expensive car, higher prices. Naturally I left. If you want a real German experience, go o Mattern on Chapman in Orange. BTW all the so-called European/German markets get their Sausages from Mattern who have their own Sausage factory. read more

Homey little German deli and store. Welcoming with a neighborhood atmosphere. Service with a sincere friendly feel. I had the Rueben today and it was very very tasty. Don't give your money to chain stores when there are wonderful options like this read more

I grew up in Germany and this place is deeply nostalgic for me (not only the food but the music and decor). This is such a cute little mom and pop deli. Love to come here for a quick bite during lunch, the food is very good and authentic and the service is great. They also have a small market area by the counter where you can get German goodies. read more

Super friendly and quick service the bratwurst and knockwurst was quite delicious and I love their streusels! Got an apple and peach(not pictured) which are really really yummy! the sausages come with potato salad and 2 slices of bread read more

I tried this place for the first time yesterday and the sandwiches were horrible! I went it excited after reading a few comments on social media, and will never go again. Maybe years past it was good but not today. I ordered two turkey sandwiches and a pastrami. The turkey look like cheap, thin, tasteless store brand turkey. No offer of cheese and the lettuce was old and washed out in color. The pastrami was warmed in the microwave if that gives you an idea, but it wasn't fatty, and was decent just not worth 14.75, which leads me to how I was charged incorrectly for two hot sandwiches instead of two cold sandwiches. It wasn't worth the drive back for the two dollars and I was honestly embarrassed for them. Do yourself a favor go to Lascari's deli on Lambert you will pay about the same amount for a huge sandwich and get a fresh baked roll, and real deli counter meat. read more

Great chill deli to get to get a fabulous sandwich, cold German beer, and fantastic potato salad. There is deli side and a restaurant side. In the deli you will find authentic imported items. Just love their selection of sauerkrauts, and other pickled items. Service if friendly and the whole experience feels homey. Highly recommend the liverwurst with soft rye bread and spicy mustard. Yum Yum ! read more

Came here 07/15/2022. Took my grandpa out here for some lunch. Continental Deli is a mom-and-pop German deli that also sells sandwiches and sausages. We got 2 items. Bratwurst: 9/10. Served with a dollop of potatoes, sauerkraut, and bread. The bratwurst itself was cooked well with a char but somehow it was really soft. Almost like it was a chicken sausage. I don't know why! Reuben Sandwich: 8/10. A bit gristly for my liking but the portion was generous and filled to the brim with meat. Overall service was really nice and I have a soft spot for mom and pop shops so 5 stars! :) read more

Was on my way to a winery because I had a free day (5/29/22) with no kids. Lol. I wanted some freshly sliced cheese, but I also had eaten since 6:30AM. Hello, Continental Deli. It's a German deli in La Habra, CA. Kind of in the middle of a plaza with ample free parking. The employees were super sweet and highly efficient. They made my day when they obliged to make me a cheese plate at 1/2 lb. (about $11). The hot pastrami on rye ($10.99) was so delicious. Even though I got it to go they let me eat in their cute little dining room. The meat was sliced thin and piled on thick between two soft pieces of rye. Also in my takeout container was a half-sliced pickle and a scoop of potato salad. Ask for Schnitzel or Rouladen meats. They have daily soups - just ask if you don't see the sign! Their soup and side dishes come in three sizes: small or 1/2 pint ($3.50-3.75), medium or pint ($4-$6.50), and large or quart ($12-13). They have homemade baked cookies neatly packed in cellophane to the left when you walk in. They have a few German market items and some alcoholic beverages also for sale near the deli counter. Open 7 days a week. So glad I finally made it to this bookmark. read more

This is a great German deli. It's simple and no frills, but the food is very good. I'm just happy with a liverwurst sandwich. It's got good ingredients and is just made well. I like their sauerkraut in sandwiches and hot dogs at home, and their German potato salad is probably the best I've ever had. I have yet to try their baked goods and their hot foods. They host watch parties for German and Bayern Munich matches. read more

What a great find. Thanks to our friend 'Big Walt' we discovered this quaint German retreat hidden in the heart of La Habra. Truly a family affair, with a one of a kind brats and the best potato salad! The currywurst was DELICIOUS and if you're like me and are tempted to swap out the fried potatoes for a different side, DON'T. You won't be disappointed when you taste the combination of those perfectly golden fried potato squares with the curry ketchup sauce. Instead, I added a side of the red cabbage, and after tasting the famous Continental potato salad off my husband's bratwurst plate (also glorious), ended up ordering scoops to take home from the deli side of the store. Macaroni salad was tasty, but the showstoppers were the two styles of potato salad (the German potato salad is more vinegar based, not Mayo, and has bits of crunchy onion mixed in). The texture of the Continental potato salad is addicting with slivers of hard boiled egg and textures of mashed potato. SO DANG GOOD. Do yourself a favor and snag a few bottles of the homemade spicy mustard and the curry ketchup. I was told "you get refills when you bring back the bottles," so I'll definitely have to be back! read more

I lived in Germany for several years. The food is amazing! I wouldn't consider this German. Not even close! Everything they sell there you can buy at World Market much cheaper!! Don't bother with this place. You can make the same basic sandwich at home much cheaper and better. read more

Good food good service the brat and sauerkraut was to die for brought back so many happy memories this place is a godsend you need to come and enjoy the good food. I highly recommend everything and they have great cabbage rolls. I watched the owner make them and they are fantastic and you have to also try their homemade mustard. Oh my God so many memories thank you so much. read more

A quaint restaurant in a shopping center, Continental Deli may be easy to miss. However, this is a great place to come enjoy some German deli meals! I decided to order their currywurst with fried potatoes. The curry is exquisite, with a strong tang. It is different compared to a currywurst from Berlin. So if you're looking for the ketchup based currywurst, this is a different style. Both the sausage and potatoes were of fine quality, and it was a set meal that totaled under $11 at the start of August 2024. Service is efficient and friendly too! Overall, Continental Deli has a lot to offer for German food options, and is a restaurant I will visit again! read more

If you are looking for really great German food, you have come to the right place. For as long as I can remember Continental Deli has been in La Habra. In high school my first girlfriend was German, her mom an excellent cook, so I acquired a taste for authentic German food. When you walk in you will be greeted by the very kind staff. You have a stellar selection of fresh sausages that you can order in a cooler to your right. One of the things I got into during pandemic was their bread. I remember not being able to get bread anywhere, and yet the had fresh and amazing bread. In the coolers along the back wall they have a great selection of German import beers. On top of that they have a lot of different German delicacies and delights. One the other side of their shop they have a restaurant! You can have any one of the sausages prepared for you from the front. They do a pretty good breakfast. Sandwiches are top notch and the meat cuts are better than most. I really love their schnitzel. The pork is very tender, not heavily breaded. It isn't oily or greasy either. Just great food all around. I do know that they have a good following for soccer there so you can always pop in to watch a game. They have beer on tap too so you can just stop by for a beer. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and no matter what you get from here you can not go wrong. read more

I've eaten lunch here several times. The service is excellent and the German food is great. They always have the original Hofbrau Lager on tap. Plus, they have a deli to pick up a wide variety of authentic German sausages, meats, cheeses, drinks, and sweets. Speaking of sweets, this is also a legit bakery. Cherry, apple and peach strudel, and many other amazing pastries are made daily and are freaking delicious. If you haven't tried the Continental, you need to go. read more

This place has existed for a while, but I can't believe I"m only now trying this out. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and the Reuben sandwich. Both came with a potato salad and the portions were very generous! It seems like this deli is family run. We called in our order and the person who rang up our order was an older man. There is also a sit down restaurant connected to the deli. I have not tried that... The sandwiches were good! They have a lot of meat in the sandwiches and the bread tastes good. I think that it may be German rye bread? the potato salad was really creamy. I think that it's a great deal for the price -- generous portion. The pastrami tastes really good and isn't too salty or tough. I personally preferred the pastrami to the Reuben, but both sandwiches are very good! read more

This is a little mom & pop type place that I thoroughly enjoyed. They have many German options to choose from that are very good. I especially love the German potato salad and sauerkraut.

Walked in today just to check it out after a quick trip to Michael's. I didn't try their sandwiches today but in the glass counter I saw some cabbage rolls. I decided to grab 3 and warm them up with rice for an easy lunch. They are massive with a ton of meat but aside from that I can honestly say these are the most delicious cabbage rolls I've ever had. Definitely coming back for these but also can't wait to try their sandwiches. My son grabbed some cookies too and said they were awesome! read more
