The hype is true. Best cheesesteak in NYC, and I'm sure it rivals Philly. Crusty seeded roll. Tender, well seasoned and not chewy beef, just the right amount of cheese and caramelized onions. read more

The cheese steaks here are really freaken good! Flavorful and the size of this sandwich is worth the 20 or so dollars that it cost. The restaurant itself there is no where to sit its standing room only. You can enjoy your sandwich there at a standing bar little area. I got here before it opened. When we were finally able to be let in and I got my order in it was another 15-20 min wait. Which was a tad annoying. You will get a text when it is ready. They should also call out names.. what if your phone is dead? Anyways, also the music in here was good don't get me wrong but they should turn it down a bit. There is only one kind of sandwich they serve here and you have the choice of adding on the side sweet or spicy peppers. I got sweet and they made the sandwich that much better too. I was happy to try it out and glad I did. read more

Yea good sandwich but $22 plus tax?! Be serious, NYC! Make sure to take a friend with to split it with because it might be too much for one person. I wish they went easy on the cheese but the meat and the bread are excellent. Shuld be $16 tops though but I guess Cooper needs to pay for a 4th house or something read more

I really didn't think the sandwich would be as good as it was but wow was I wrong. My friend and I split one with everything on it and I was regretting not getting my own by the end! Came mid day on a Saturday and there was only about 5 people in line. There are spots inside to stand and eat around the perimeter of the restaurant, and if you're looking to sit there's a park right across the street. Already looking forward to the next visit! read more

Danny & Coop's - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Danny & Coop's is a renowned takeout-only cheesesteak spot in NYC's East Village, co-owned by actor Bradley Cooper and Angelo from Philadelphia, who also owns Angelo's Pizzeria. It's famous for its authentic Philly-style cheesesteaks featuring thinly sliced ribeye, Cooper Sharp cheese, and griddled onions on a seeded roll. The menu is straightforward, centered on the cheesesteak, with options for sweet or hot peppers, and drinks like Boylan's Root Beer. I've had Danny & Coop's bookmarked for a while, and when I finally visited, the place was bustling. Despite the tight space, the experience is absolutely worth it. When I arrived, there was no line, so I ordered quickly. They sent me a text when my order was ready, which took about fifteen minutes. The cheesesteak was outstanding. At first glance, I thought the bread might be hard, but it was perfectly soft and, without doubt, the ideal bread for a cheesesteak. The seeds added an earthy, nutty flavor. The beef had a deep, rich flavor, emphasizing high-quality ingredients. The rib-eye meat was exceptional, and although the Cooper Sharp cheese and bread were excellent, the rib-eye truly stole the show. The cheese was flavorful but not overpowering. The onions added great texture, and the sweet peppers brought a pleasant acidity that enhanced every bite. The sandwich costs twenty-five dollars but is definitely shareable. Though I haven't tried many cheesesteaks in New York, this is the best I've ever had. Customer service was excellent, and the cheesesteak was simply outstanding. I would gladly travel from Connecticut again to enjoy Danny & Coop's. read more

Danny & Coop's - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Bradley Cooper has a cheesesteak joint that people were lining up around the block for when it first opened? Say less! Had to try one of my favorite actor's spot. I went for the first time last year. Was there fairly close to opening time so the line wasn't insane. Ordered the cheesesteak with sweet peppers on the side. Pro tip: get your drink at the deli next door and eat at the park across the street. Fantastic sandwich. Generous with the meat and perfect bread. Was basically 2 meals for me. Went back my second time last week and price went from $18.50 to $24.50. Heard cashier said due to price increase of meat. I get it but that's quite a huge jump. Plus they now charge for the sweet peppers which sucks. Good thing the sandwich doesn't need it. I'd still get it if I was in the mood for it. Hopefully it's not $30 next time I go. Highly recommend. read more

YES!!!!! My first visit, finally. April 10, 2026. Do one thing, and do it well!! And Danny & Coop's does--THEY DO CHEESESTEAK VERY WELL!!! No decisions to make, this is the one item on the menu. You do have the option to get a side of SWEET OR HOT PEPPERS, for 75 cents. These are in a small container, you may ask for a fork. I did. I got the sweet peppers. Enjoyed them. If you like sweet gherkins, you'll enjoy the sweet peppers! It was Friday, about 4pm, I walked right in, saw some people waiting for their orders, and I went directly to the front counter to order. That's the only counter to order at. :). Tyler was at the register. Service with a smile. Thank you patient Tyler at the register. I was lucky you were there! LOL. I thought I was totally prepared with cash, to be quick when ordering, but alas, what I "knew" to be a $20 bill in my little zip wallet, was a $5. Have you noticed this happening in your Wallet? LOL. The $20 bill turns into a $5. So, I knew I had more $5's. I just had to get them out. And, I am grateful for Tyler, Mr Cool at the register. Thank you for your patience and kindness. I'm also grateful the 2 people behind me were nice too. I also want to thank the nice person who brought out several orders, one of which was mine. Great friendly, helpful service. You have the option to get a text msg when your order is ready. Nice feature. Since it was nice outside, I decided to walk across the street to the large park, and sit on a bench to enjoy my Cheesesteak. There is a bench in front of Danny & Coop's but 3 women were enjoying a Cheesesteak. They were sharing one cheesesteak. And it is HUGE!! So, those were still nice portions from one Danny & Coop's Cheesesteak. Next time I'll try to bring a friend, because I still have half of my Cheesesteak left. But, by the time I get home, I bet I'll be able to finish it. So, YES, you should enjoy a huge cheesesteak here!! See my photos. My huge delicious cheesesteak was about $25.31, including my side of sweet peppers. I put some $ in the tip jar. I did not get a beverage. But, YOU can. Enjoy! read more

Have to agree that this is one of the best openings the year it came out. Hype aside surrounding Bradley Cooper, this is a really great philly cheesesteak especially given the fact that we're in NYC not Philly. The meat was perfectly tender, fatty, rich, and the cheese was melty. The bread was nicely toasted and really fragrant, and it's perfect to split with someone so you leave not too full, although if you're trying to pass out for the rest of the day you could def crush it yourself and have an amazing day, too. The menu is simple so it won't require too much thinking. It's a small space with standing space on either side. Turnover is pretty quick; wasn't too busy when I went during the summer/fall during the weekday but not sure how the lines are these days on the weekend. Definitely a must try though and hope they stick around for a long time! read more

The sandwich 100% lived up to the hype! I can confidently, without a doubt, say this is the best cheesesteak I've ever had. The meat was tender and flavorful, and when paired with the cheese and onions, it gave a great bite. The bread was soft and worked as a great vehicle for the filling, and the cheese just held everything together. It is also great when paired with their peppers that they provide on the side. While it is a somewhat pricey sandwich, you also do get a lot. If you're in the mood for a cheesesteak, I highly recommend this place. The service is pretty efficient too, even when there are long lines, and although there's not really seating inside, they do have standing room if you want to eat your sandwich there. read more

Danny & Coop's - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Simple place with only one item on their menu. A cheesesteak, but a damn amazing one at that. You get a seeded roll with tender ribeye, cooper sharp cheese, and onions with an optional side of sweet or hot peppers add on. Zero substitutions. Honestly the perfect combination without feeling overly greasy, but crazy rich with the amount of cheese and steak you get. I'd recommend getting peppers to add another dimension to the flavors. Their bread also sets them apart from other cheesesteaks I've had. They are baked fresh in house daily with a nice crisp exterior loaded with sesame, but super soft inside and easy to bite into. The place was packed with people on a Sunday late afternoon waiting for their orders, but there was no line to order and it only took about 20 minutes to get my food. There is an overwhelming scent of smoke within the actual shop and standing countertops for those who want to eat in. I opted to eat on their singular bench outside in the cold to enjoy the hot masterpiece as fresh as possible. NY is lucky to have this establishment, easily a top cheesesteak anywhere. read more

Way too much cheese and they don't allow for no onions. Felt gross eating it. $24 dollars for this is also highway robbery. The bread was good - would be much better if they change their cheese:steak ratio read more

Sensational cheesesteak. Authentic (cause I'm from Philly). Bread was excellent and they gove plenty of meat. Definitely worth sharing. At $25, it's a great price considering the other lackluster options in the city. Pro tip: get the sweet peppers on the side to cut the richness. There are ledges to stand and eat, and coat hooks too. Can probably fit around 12 people standing and eating. read more

Really solid cheesesteak that blows any NYC bodega out of the water. Came in on a Thursday afternoon. No line, walked right up. Friendly service and some standing spots left inside to pony up and eat my sandwich. Got the cheesesteak with hot peppers and a root beer. Came out with tip to $30, so by no means cheap. The cheesesteak was super flavorful, and I thought it had a good ratio of meat to cheese. I also appreciated the seeded roll that added flavor and wasn't just a bulky bread vessel for the meat. The peppers cost extra, and there weren't enough to cover the cheesesteak, which was a let-down; I had to finish the second half with no peppers at all. I'm giving this place 4 strong stars. If you want an even better cheesesteak here in the city, check out Federoff's roast pork on 10th St, Brooklyn. One cheesesteak feeds two, and the roast pork is phenomenal! read more

Believe in the hype! These cheesesteaks are so awesome! I can't wait to go back! Only one thing on the menu here, cheesesteaks! Only option is an add-on of sweet or spicy peppers. Order at the counter and step aside to wait. When it's ready, your name will be called. There are no tables or chairs. Only some high counters, lining the walls. Decor? It's super casual. You are here for the sandwich, not fancy decor. There is a bench outside in front, if you need to sit. The standing room is small and narrow. They finally call your name. Rejoice! Open the box and the sandwich is pipping hot! Take a bite and you are in sandwich heaven. Ahhh... The bread is perfect, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. A generous amount of tender juicy beef. And luscious melty cheese all over, marrying with the beef. Awesome! It's a huge sandwich, enough for 2 people! Note: all sandwiches are made exactly the same, so don't ask for substitutions or changes. Only option is for additional charge, add sweet or spicy peppers. It comes in a tiny container, that you add on your own. This is the best cheesesteak around. Even better than anything in Philly! Great job, Bradley and Danny! read more

BLUF: A worthwhile visit. Danny and Coop's only offers Philly cheesesteak sandwiches for $21 ($22.86 with tax as of early December 2025), with an optional side of sweet or hot peppers for an additional 50¢ (54¢ with tax). The cashier asks customers for their name and a mobile telephone number. The store uses text messages to send links for receipts, and notifications for when orders are ready for pick-up. Our sandwich was delivered steaming hot, fully loaded with meat and melted cheese. The bread was soft but still strong enough to hold the meat through to the very last bite. The sandwich was large enough to feed two of us. This was one of the best sandwiches we've ever had. The shop has a nondescript storefront with a medium-sized sign hanging over the door and a wood bench in the front of the window. There is no customer seating inside the store, but counter-height tables and evenly distributed napkin dispensers line the wall if customers are willing to eat while standing. There are no customer accessible restrooms. read more

One of the few places that blew up from these shitty influencers that actually delivered. This was the viral place owned by Bradly Cooper and the owner of Angelo's in Philly. So I waited for the hype to die down and went with fellow Yelper Sara and we were both very impressed with the cheesesteak. We didn't want to be a bunch of fat asses so we decided to split a cheesesteak. I was saying half is more than adequate for one person since it is a big sandwich and it is pretty on the heavy/rich side. There was a line at 1pm on Tuesday but it wasn't terrible. They also take your number down and text when your food is ready. It is kinda pricey since the cheesesteak with half sweet and half spicy peppers came out to a little under $24. Cheesesteak- They literally only have one thing and the cheesesteak comes with cooper sharp, we decided to do a mix of the side of peppers to compare. The verdict is the sweet peppers, shockingly, were the better option. I normally would always go the spicy option, the spicy pepper felt distracting, I thought the flavor and especially the crunch from the sweet pepper paired perfectly with the cheesesteak. In the beginning, I was kind of a purist and ate the cheesesteak as is but it becomes too rich, the sweet peppers added a nice crunchy element and a nice freshness to the cheesesteak. This was an awesome cheesesteak but I did wish the bread was a bit crustier, the bread was pretty soft throughout. Overall, it's the best cheesesteak we have in NY. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=cwdl4JC7RpG_YT5DLTIeOw read more

The house baked bread is perfect. The meat tender and flavorful. The Cooper cheddar cheese melts well as it is intertwined with the meat. The marinated peppers are served on the side, but taste great in the cheesesteak. They have Boylan's Rootbeer, Coke and Sprite. Everything works. read more

(4.5 stars) Attention, Carnivores-- want a satisfying cheesesteak, don't want to drive to Philly, and it's a Wednesday - Sunday? you're in luck--Danny & Coop's got you. the small Alphabet City cheesesteak spot serves up an authentic cheesesteak in NYC. Danny & Coop's cheesesteak is thinly sliced/shaved steak grilled on a flat-top, the Cooper's Sharp cheese is super melty and glues the steak and grilled onions together in a freshly baked seeded long hoagie roll. order the cheesesteak with or without peppers served on the side (with hot OR sweet peppers)...the cheesesteaks are made one way no substitutions or anything. my thoughts: 1) delicious cheesesteak, overall and very shareable (I'd say bring a partner and crime to enjoy the sandwich experience); 2) a generous helping of shaved steak (spills out of the sandwich) is seasoned and grilled for a flavorful, juicy, tender with a nice balance of meatiness and fattiness; 3) Cooper's Sharp cheese melts smoothly and really has a strong cheddar flavor, but to me it comes off a little bit salty (not that it is too salty but it comes up to the line. it's just personal preference) but they don't skimp on cheese and its creaminess is layered throughout the steak shavings; 4) as many have stated, the seeded hoagie roll is the STAR of the cheesesteak as the bread possesses a nice firmnness, yet soft inside that doesn't get soggy despite the enormous layers of melted cheese and steak stuffed in the interior is small, modern and casual--no seats except for the bench outside. there are small ledges to eat at inside, but since the place is normally with full with people ordering or picking up...head across the street into Tompkins Square Park ordering is simple. lines move fairly fast bc sandwiches can't be customized. sandwiches take about ten - fifteen minutes from the time you order. staff text you once your sandwich is ready to be picked up. sandwich is boxed up hot off the grill and can be carried easily. service is fast and friendly as they need to keep the lines moving. PRO TIP: Wednesday and Thursday is way less busier than Friday evenings, Saturday, and Sunday. now you know! read more

Possibly the best cheesesteak I've had in my life Since seeing that Bradley Cooper has been whipping up cheesesteaks the past couple years, I had to get my hands on one. On my recent trip to New York City I got to enjoy one of these sandwiches for dinner and I was blown away by how amazing this sandwich was. Reading other reviews before pulling the trigger to come here was kind of hit or miss with people being very snobby and saying that the flavor wasn't there or it was too much cheese or just kind of small complaints. I'm so happy that I went with my guts and took the extra 20 minutes to come down here because there was no line, staff was nice, the inside is small but it's to the point and their menu is very easy to read since they only have one sandwich. Now let's get to the review on the sandwich. The sesame seed roll was something I've never had before and it had amazing flavor. The meat was perfectly sliced, thin and fresh. You can definitely tell that it was not frozen. The onions were grilled perfectly and in my opinion, the ratio of the cheese was perfect where each bite was seriously mouthwatering. Like I said, the actual location is very small. Where once you get your food, there's only a couple small places to eat and stand no places to sit so the overall vibe of the establishment is not much. My choice was to grab my food, walk right across the street to the park and sit on the bench and enjoy my sandwich while people watching. I will be dreaming about this sandwich and looking forward to the day that I get to have it again. read more

I'll give them an A+ for efficiency since you'll order and pay and then your receipt goes to your phone and acts as your notification when your sandwich is finished. It's great that their menu is small so that they can get orders in. I wanted to try the hype because it was trending and only waited about 10 minutes on a weekend afternoon. After getting into just a third of the sandwich I had a headache. Maybe from too much flavor or fat? The sandwich was big enough for three meals, which is how I ate it. It's a great sandwich but next time I'll have to prepare myself with vegetables on the side to counter all of the grease. read more

Arrived at 11:30am on a Sunday and couldn't believe there was no line - thought I was in the wrong place because in 2026 every damn thing on IG has huge lines. Ordering was easy, though about 15 orders were placed before any orders were ready, so there's a lot of people milling around in the small space waiting for their food. No seating, but being first got me a counter by the front window to eat at. Love that it's a 1-item menu, and the Boylan root beer was a great pairing. I got the hot peppers and was able to handle it (not crazy hot). The key is the bun. Huge meal for one, but perfect size to share with another light eater. read more

This is one of the best cheesesteaks, I've ever had in my life. The place is a small joint, mainly takeout. They have a few counters to eat your philly but you can always go to park across the street to eat it. The philly rivals many cheesesteaks from even Philly. I've never had Angelos but after eating danny and coops, ive got to try the original. Ive had toasted bread sometimes be hard so i was a bit wary. But this bread was so soft and jammed packed full of ooey gooey cheese. The meat and the cheese with the onions. Artery clogging deliciousness. One cheesesteak can be shared amongst 2-3 ppl. NYC not typically known for cheesesteaks but if you are in the area, make sure you stop here. Easily one of the most delicious things ive ever eaten in a city that is abundant of good eats. read more
