    Murray Hill Sandwich The Mango Tango Smoothie
    Chelsea A.

    It's my go to when I don't know what else to get. I personally never had an issue with packaging or anything compared to other reviews but they sometimes forget a straw for my smoothie lol. That said, my typical order is the Murray hill sandwich and the mango tango smoothie without the banana. It's absolutely delicious, crispy, and filling!

    I'm a regular at Create's Ditmars location but thanks to COVID-19, it's closed. I can't go a Saturday without one of my lattes from there so I strolled over to the 30th Ave location for my caffeine fix. It's smaller than Ditmars, but everything's the same, including some BOMB coffee. Given the pandemic situation, the staff was SUPER friendly. I'm really trying to help small businesses survive during this time. They were professional and ultra clean. Also, my latte was better than my Ditmars latte. Win!

    The coffee is strong, the ingredients are top notch & you leave feeling GOOD that you are eating healthy!!! Everytime I want something filling for breakfast, I pass by here for the Grand Ave breakfast sandwich - it's jam packed with avocado, turkey, egg (no extra for egg whites!) & some cheese! The French toast, acai bowls, salads,sandwiches soups, protein shakes, smoothies are all items I've tried and have always left satisfied! They have an item on the menu for everyone! Def give them a try!

    Veggie burger fail. The patty was a mushy mess that could hold shape.
    Jessica S.

    Salad bars are always my favorite. However, after exploring some of the vegetarian sandwich options on the menu I have to say it's a 3.5 star (rounded down because of the very sad veggie burger). The East Village is probably my go to when I come here because it's consistently done well. It's a cold sandwich with baby portobello mushrooms, veggies, cheese, a pesto sauce served on a multigrain hero. The bread is definitely the star and they do use quality ingredients. However, I'm glad they have a bottle of Cholula Hot Sauce at each table because it's a bland sandwich otherwise. Adding some sort of acidity would definitely help! The Veggie Burger is where they really drop the ball. Sometimes I want hot food that isn't pizza, the only veggie option here is the quinoa veggie burger. The second I picked it up I knew it was wrong. The patty crumpled apart half staying in the bun, the other half sat like mashed potatoes on my plate. The flavor of it wasn't bad, but again, it needs some sort of acidity. I almost feel like they're afraid to add pickled veggie (because yes pickled onions would be good on both). That being said the place is friendly. The salad bar is always stocked with fresh ingredients, and I like the hot sauce readily available.

    The Cinco de Mayo Wrap
    Annie G.

    This review is for delivery only. Estimated about 45-55 min delivery window for lunch on a Friday, and arrived in about 40 min. Cinco de Mayo wrap with crispy chicken - B- (disappointing, the raw onion flavor overpowered the whole sandwich, and I normally don't mind onion!) Steinway Breakfast wrap + egg whites, Canadian bacon, regular bacon - A- Greek fries - B+ (nothing special, fries with feta cheese)

    Asian Chicken Salad!
    Ian K.

    Been to Create numerous times prior to this review. We have NEVER been disappointed. From their salads to sandwiches, everything is healthy and tasty! It's also a short walk from our gym! A great healthy spot post workout. What I got today: -Asian Chicken Salad The above was filled with fresh ingredients! The ginger dressing was even light! Highly recommend Create for a quick, but healthy meal during the week! The only process (ordering and all) takes less than 6 minutes! They have a very talent team and are quick to fill your troubled tummies!

    I love create ! The best thing is going to a salad place and not having to pay extra for avocado. I took my sister here because she loves salads and she also was a fan. The workers in this location are super nice and attend you very quickly and put love into their salad making . This is my Astoria salad spot

There was a line, of course, there always is, and the wait was longer than what we were willing to endure for fare as simple and as common as a sandwich. It was worth the 20-minute wait. We ordered the Milano special, packed with cold meats, tomatoes, pickled peppers, cheese, and lettuce between two soft sesame rolls. It looked magnificent. It tasted magnificent. It was a sandwich to rule all sandwiches. I'd brave the line for that any day.

The staff is super nice and eager to help. It feels like a special neighborhood gem and you can really feel the family owned vibe. 1. Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix. We were deciding on this one and the proscuitto tomato but we are glad we got this one! 2. Chicken caesar salad wrap- I think I could easily say this is the best caesar salad wrap i've had. The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!

Walking into the store from the corner entrance, directly in center there's a beverage station with coffee and tea dispensers. About half the store is dedicated to prepared foods--on the left are chilled and packaged desserts, on the right are warm and cold mains, salads, cheese and charcuterie, sides, sushi, convenient packaged foods (crackers, breads, candies, snacks). Toward the middle of the store are a few aisles of jarred, canned, dried goods, teas and coffee sachets, condiments and spices. Towards the south side of the store is a butcher counter, more prepared chilled foods, salads, wraps, chilled bottled drinks, followed by the fresh produce area. At the front of the store are a few registers you check out. They keep the store very clean and tidy, the shelves are well-stocked. Staff are friendly and on point. The food selections are good quality and you also pay a premium since it's UES after all.

For a high-end specialty market, I've never understood why they only offer pre-made cold sandwiches and won't make sandwiches fresh to order. If I'm paying premium prices, I'd rather have a fresh sandwich than one that's been sitting in a refrigerator. I also find it odd that they've expanded to two locations while still offering a very limited selection of baked goods and freshly prepared foods. The market was at its best when the Greek chef worked there. Back then, the food was excellent and worth the price.
