Here's what I believe about sandwiches.. somehow the messier they are the better! There is nothing like diving into a really good sandwich and as much as I try to eat neatly.. well...the sauce hits the cheeks, the side of my lips.. well you get the picture. Then having a stack of napkins neatly by my plate helps..I know I'm going to need plenty. Then it hits my palate and all of the senses. This is the feeling, behavior and expectation of experiencing a sandwich from ***Court Street Grocers. First, the menu options are plentiful from breakfast sandwich to The Reuben, The Cubano to the Ollie Flower, Vegetalin and so much more. The ambience: it reminds me of those old grocery stores I used to go to when my family vacationed in the Catskills. The store that had everything you can want or need. The service: you place your order, find your seat in the back and a kind server calls out your name and serves you. Fawn's sammy: the B and C: scrambled eggs with chorizo, cheddar, salsa verde on a warm Ciabatta bread. This Sammy exceeded my expectations: the ingredients together of course, promised a delicious meal. The flavor and quality of the eggs/ chorizo/ cheddar were outstanding. I washed it down with another classic, Dr. Brown's black cherry soda in those frosted plastic cups ( love them, Seaview Beach Club memories) The backroom seating is comfortable and complimentary water is offered as well. Here's what has been written about CSG from NY Magazine: "A gourmet grocer and sandwich counter with a thrillingly eclectic take on American regional foodstuffs." Every word in the above is true. CSG is about a ten minute walk to Cobble Hill Cinemas which if you want a pre movie meal, this would be a great place to eat. Special shout to Keisha, who took my order; friendly and a gem! ***Aah you noticed! ***S&P Lunch is a classic, Depression-era style luncheonette in the Flatiron District. Operating in the historic space of the former Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop, it is run by the team behind Court Street Grocers to preserve a rare, old-school New York counter-service tradition." I've had the pleasure of dining at S and P, read my review. It is also superb. read more

You know... I'd never thought that there would be a day where I love a turkey sandwich this much. The clean turkey really is so delicious. The combination of the sweet pickles, white onions, and arugula is a match made in heaven for the turkey breast. I usually am not a fan of arugula bc i find the taste to be too much but the flavor is very subtle in the sandwich. The red wine vinegar isn't overpowering if you thought that was off putting and they put the perfect amount of mayo. I had this sandwich 4 days ago... and I am still thinking about it :( The ultimate warrior on the other hand, is complete opposite of the clean turkey. With the decadent pork shoulder and cheese, it's a warm and toasty and melty sandwich. Really love the addition of mama's lil's peppers I really like the sesame bread. Makes the world of a difference!! The strawberry orange juice wasn't a hit for me. Barely tasted the strawberry I can't wait to come back and try the other sandwiches!!! read more

Court street grocers is a neighborhood treasure and must be protected at all costs. Known for their sandwiches, you cannot go wrong with any item on their menu. I've tried the Jawn, the Clean Turkey, and the Ollie and have always been delighted during my visits. Most of their sandwiches are served on their signature toasted seeded hero's and while the sandwiches themselves are not served hot, they are perfect for a casual breakfast/lunch while you're strolling the neighborhood or dining in. Known for its iconic storefront, this flagship location launched satellite locations with its namesake and widely recognized merch. The atmosphere will bring you into a small cottage farm to table feel while still letting you spread your wings into the big city. read more

It is unique, it's a little saucy though. First time stomach hurt from too much mayo. But again it is unique which is nice to have something different and good. Quality pretty good. Biggest issue is the wait. Tell me beforehand it's going to take 25-30 minutes for a sandwich otherwise solid 4+ read more

I rarely do takeout reviews, but at the start of 2025 I said this was the year of growth and facing my fears, so here goes nothing: It was a picturesque New York Summer Day: Gloomy, 91 degrees, and a dew point of 71 which is essentially air you can swim in. Our group was debating what to Doordash for lunch, and the group leader confidently pitched Court Street Grocers. He's the group leader, so I just went with it. I got the Clean Turkey Sandwich, because I have an upcoming Mexico trip and I'm tryna lean out. I also added Bacon, because I'm a BEAST. I won't lie, this sandwich was fantastic. It just tasted clean, with bread that felt like it had been made the day of. Fresh bread is one of my simple pleasures in this life. However, I didn't realize it was going to come out to $20 with bacon added. While I loved this sandwich, for $20 I would have wanted WAY more Turkey. I wanted that Turkey to be BUSTING out the bread. The juice just wasn't worth the squeeze for me, but such is life in New York City. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

La question c'est, voulez-vous? Por favour, non. Not even a Jalen Brunson themed sandwich can save this review. I do not think the sandwiches are worth the overpriced hype. Thanks to an article in the New York Post suggesting they had a sandwich named after him, and being a Knicks fan, I figured, oh what the hell, I have nothing to lose by coming here. To say I had nothing to lose is an overstatement, I feel like I blew a wide open layup in garbage time. The sandwiches are okay. I like what is in them. They are plenty tasty and the ingredients do work beautifully. Sure, I had to make some adjustments to make it more palatable for me, but overall, nice job. I fault a few other things, and not just the exorbitant prices of the sandwiches that left me leaving angry and frustrated. -The sandwiches are TINY. I polished off the sandwich like a rookie defender. I timed myself from table to stomach and it took me three minutes and twenty five seconds to eat it all. -The whole experience has a pretentious, Carroll Gardens feel to it. From the staff to the customers, I did not feel wanted or appreciated. Just another body ready to give profit. This store caters to the super rich and I think they know it. -The bread is supposed to make the sandwich. Instead it is a sloppy mess and I had to go through many napkins to eat this. The experience left me feeling less like a superstar point guard and more like someone riding the pine, only to be thrust into action because he got injured. -- I did like them playing ABBA as I was eating. That was fun. I can also appreciate them being close by the subway. That helps too. Everything else left me wondering why I walked in here. If not for a newspaper article I guess I would have simply stayed home. However, I guess it is better to take it to the rack than chuck up a brick. That is what Brunson would have done, anyway. read more

Great, High quality and fresh sandwiches in a cute and cozy setting. Everything from the quality of the meats to the freshness of the bread is top notch. My main gripe is just the value of the sandwiches here. Pricing is very steep with most sandwiches being around $17. With this much money you would expect a lot of food, but they are very stingy with the meat. I ordered the droopy and, as you can see in my picture, you only get 4 slices of roast beef. For this price, that should be double! If you charge me a lot I will expect a lot! read more

Love the sandwiches here! The sesame seed bread, thinly sliced, rich meat, and the bright sauce make a wonderfully balanced lunch. I will say our sandwich was a bit heavy on the mayo/sauce, so if you're sensitive to that, best to ask for light sauce! read more

The Veg Delight was solid, super unique flavors plus great roasted cauliflower. I'd definitely come back to try another one, scratched my sandwich itch. read more

Wow!! This sandwich was perfect between the texture, crunch, and everything in between - it was a 10/10. My friend and I split the American Combo which is turkey, ham, american cheese, coleslaw, sweet pickles and "come-back" sauce which is very much like a thousand island. One sandwich is enough for two (depending on how hungry you are) but seriously have zero complaints. The bread complimented all the insides nicely and would absolutely recommend. Worth the price because it's a large sandwich! read more

The tuna fish sandwich here is maybe one of the best ones I've had in the city. The Ollie is ok haha

Talk about a well balanced sandwich- this hit the spot like no other Italian I have had before. The deli is small but cozy. And service was excellent:) definitely recommend it for a delicious Sammy :) read more

Lots of Deli's in Brooklyn. My sister dug this deli and felt it was worth the walk. Deli is tight on space, has a limited assortment of baked treats and about 25 sandwiches to choose from. Here's my three things: 1) Most of the sandwiches are deli favorites. I would just say each has an item, preparation or condiment that sets it apart. The Italian had a creamy giardiniera DELICIOUS! 2) Dining area had water out for those who don't want something fizzy from the coolers and condiments out for those that need some kick. About 8-9 tables in the place. Not good for groups larger than 4. 3) Lots of takeout going out the door and that may be the move as we waited 30 minutes for our sandwiches. Next time I grabbing the Rueben or the Cuban. read more

Loved the Italian Combo. 1 sandwich was enough for 2 people - so good price for the portion! The sandwich was light & refreshing, with that olive-mayo spread bringing such a bright flavor to each bite. The bread was also crunchy on the outside & soft and delightful on the inside! read more

I've had catering from Court Street a few times and it always hits the spot! The following sandwiches really have no business being as good as they are: - Vegitalian Combo (sweet potato, Swiss, mozzarella, pecorino, arugula, onion, olive spread, mayo, vinaigrette) - The Droopy (roast beef, arugula, fried onions, horseradish mayo) - Ham & Cheese (ham, cheddar, romaine, pickle Dijonnaise) The bread is exceptional (hearty Italian baguette with sesame seeds) and the sandwiches are always filled very well. The sides/salads and dessert platter are also great! read more

Love, love, love the sandwiches here. Italian combo is my #1 followed by roast beef, and the Rueben.

Breakfast sandwich is the best one around on ciabatta. Just eggs and cheese. The bread had just enough chew without being dense; eggs were so fluffy and delicious. Also, last week went to their store in Williamsburg-- much less seating but same excellent sandwich. read more

Words cannot describe the truly mediocre experience we just had at Court Street Grocer. Context: we have been 3-4 times and enjoyed our sandwiches. This time, we ordered at 12:29 via DoorDash pickup. As we grew hungrier and hungrier, we got more excited. When they finally were ready at 1:20 PM (15 min past the anticipated ETA) we were met with the most hastily put together, mayo-based slop of all time. One sandwich was meant to have coleslaw and pickles; it all blended together in a drippy mayo-y mess. No acid - no tang - no zest - barely even any salt. Just mayo. The other, a pulled pork sandwich, had absolutely no flavor other than roasted red pepper. Each sandwich was 18 dollars, bringing our total bill to $38.11. Any old neighborhood bodega would have been better, faster, and cheaper. Court Street Grocers: what are we paying for? The food was overpriced and bland, and the service was slow and apathetic. Owners, if you care: do not bother replying to this review, because nothing you could do (refund, free food, nice apology) could make up for how disappointing and lame this experience was. We will never, ever go back. I would rather go to the grocery store and spend an hour making a sandwich for half the price and double the satisfaction.  Truly a ridiculous experience and an utter waste of time. read more

Interesting combinations. I ordered the Macho which is roast pork with Cole slaw, and a few other toppings. The sandwich was tasty. The service was friendly but be prepared to wait minimum of twenty to twenty five minutes for sandwich to be made. The only place to wait is outside as there is no inside seating. And although the sandwich was good the sandwich is a bit pricy at $16, given that this is strictly a take out establishment and the sandwich is not shareable. It may be that I'm use to sandwich shops that serve larger sandwiches, I don't know. read more

I had been contemplating and looking forward to a breakfast splurge, going to CSG on LaGuardia for their ridiculously delicious Pork Roll. I went this AM and was disappointed that they changed the roll -- which is key to the sandwich. It used to be made on the best potato roll, now it's served on a dry roll. Dontcha hate when the best things are downgraded to being just average? So much for that... PS. Strangely, there was strong smell of Mr. Clean on everything... very off putting. read more

Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 If you have been living under a rock and haven't heard about Court Street Grocers, get up and go. Hands down the best sandwiches in the city. It never misses. I can't mess with a good thing, so haven't tried any other sandwich aside from the salmon sandwich. They have some good kombucha options. The sencha kombucha is my favorite. They have pantry staples for sale as well. It doesn't initially look like there's indoor seating but there's a good amount of seating in the room over - just ask the staff if you can't find it. There's also three or four large tables on the sidewalk. But if the weather is good and you are okay with a walk, the promenade and piers are sorta close by. read more

Do you feel lucky? Half the time, you'll get a very nice sandwich, the other half of the time, this place is trying to get rid of a pile of very stale bread. It's embarrassing for a $20 sandwich shop to care so little about their output that they can't manage fresh (CHEAP CAPUTO'S!) bread every day, but that's definitely the case at Court St Grocers. It's like eating a cap'n crunch sandwich that gives you a cut up mouth. Terrible. read more

Suffice it is to say, I've had a lot of sandwiches in my day.

Under no circumstance should you attempt to order in the store, simply order online in advance. read more

I know I'll be saying nothing new here because this place has always been the best, but really some of the greatest sandwiches ever. You can taste how fresh ever ingredient is, especially the house made roast beef which is my favorite! But you truly can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches, and trust me I've had almost every single one over the years. The vibes are great in this little shop, offering all sorts of fun little local or small business brands goodies in the store. This place also has an amazing little fresh baked goods section where everything is divine. The service is nice, nothing too crazy but it usually is a little bit of a wait for your order (20-40 mins). The only other last thing is that I do unfortunately think the sandwiches are on the pricey side. Each will run you about $16 which although very very good, a tad bit expensive. Still super great and you've gotta come and try it out! read more

Very excited to finally have tried court street grocers! I heard a lot of amazing things and one of the stand out faves seemed to be the broccoli Reuben so I knew I had to get it. I ordered ahead of time so I could avoid the wait but on a weekday there was actually no line at all! The sandwich itself is actually quite good. The broccoli gives it a nice texture and actually fits in quite well with the sauerkraut and Russian dressing. The bread is also quite good and had a nice crisp when grilled. However, it is $16 for what is essentially broccoli and sauerkraut so that makes lunch at court street grocers far less appealing. Looking through pictures it seems like it used to be around $13 which is a much fairer price for what it is. I would consider coming back and trying one of the meat sandwiches since they seem to be a better bang for your buck. read more

Court Street Grocers is the best. Their bread is always super fresh, eggs perfectly cooked, the menu is innovative. You really can't go wrong.

Stopped in to grab some breakfast sandwiches for our Sunday morning bike ride and picnic. Ordered the chorizo and egg sandwich and the taylor ham and egg sandwich.

The chorizo was fantastic and well worth the sloppy end to the sandwich. read more

You're all out of your mind with these 5 star reviews. Love that this is a local spot and was super excited to try them out. I walk by a lot and it's always busy, and the menu sounded great. I hate writing bad reviews for local places, but come on. It surprisingly wasn't that busy when I went. I waited 40 minutes for my sandwich. Annoying, but these things can be forgiven if the food is good. I got the Ollie (with bacon), a soda (I did enjoy the options, as you get more than your standard Coke/Pepsi choices), and chips for...$25. The sandwich was mostly bread (look at that bread to sandwich ratio!), a few teeny bits of turkey, WAY too much Mayo (the mayo should never overshadow everything else in a sandwich), and barely any flavor of anything else. Maybe other things are better here, but I'm a firm believer that "Oh YoU JuSt OrDeReD tHe WrOnG ThInG" is nonsense when it comes to a restaurant. read more

Best effing sandwiches in all of NYC. As a native New Yorker, sandwiches, bagels, and coffee are INCREDIBLY important to me!

Place is lovely, especially surrounded in a lovely neighborhood in BK! Can't wait for my next sandwich. @staff, please restock the Court Street Grocers caps read more

I have mixed feelings about CSG. They are friendly and efficient. It definitely caters to the newer folks in the neighborhood. However, I struggle with the sandwich list being too fancy (or complex) for my palette. I tend toward the simple sandwiches so while I go I much prefer the more traditional sandwich shops. read more
