I like that they open at 7 am, also that they have several salads & premium ones too. I normally hate the chicken that they put in salads because they are salty or bland-tasting. The chicken they use is very good. I love their premium salad with all the berries and their waldorf salad. I will try the tuna salad next. I try to eat salads 3-4 x's a week and with Dave's Deli being less than 2 miles from my house it makes it easy for me. read more

The sandwiches are made to order and fresh featuring boars head deli meats, i ordered the hot pastrami and the service was quick, I was in and out. There is an area to order and look over the menu, coffee station and a couple fridges full of cold drinks. Wasn't too busy, ambiance was calm at around 11am. The hot pastrami sandwich was disenchanting, dry and the bread to meat ratio was disappointing, especially for the price... There is exterior seating to dine in, no indoor dining room. Plenty of parking in the lot located in front of the restaurant. read more

This place has really great customer service. The lady upfront was so helpful. I have never been here before so she helped me pick out a sandwich and was so patient. I do think the sandwich needed a bit more sauce as it was kinda on the dry side but flavor wise was great. I got a tomato soup which was okay but paired really great with their garlic toast. read more

Sandwiches taste great freshly made to order. They're a bit on the pricey side, but then again, what isn't. You do get your money's worth. The menu has a variety of items that include soups and pastas. If you're hungry, don't get the tuna. I personally didn't feel there was much in it, get the turkey or pastrami instead. The wheat bread is tasty, that saved the tuna for me. I added avocado to my turkey sandwich, again, tasty and filling. Their outside seating was appropriate, the umbrella covered me well from the sun. The employee I encountered was friendly, she brought my sandwich out to me while I was outside waiting for my Coffee Bean order. She even offered to fix the umbrella for me, not needed, but appreciated. Hours are limited and only open during the work week. I will be back when I get the chance! read more

I had been wanting to come in here for a while. I always see it when having Coffee Bean. Finally, had the opportunity to stop by. Their menu is pretty good with lots of variety and something for everyone. I went with the chicken barely soup with garlic bread and a simple green salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions. You have to try the cilantro lime dressing. It's really good & a good kick to it. Overall, I was really impressed. They do have daily specials. They don't have a restroom or indoor seating. This isn't a good location for large groups. I loved the ambiance, they were playing good Holiday music & the service was good too. Plenty of parking in the street or in the back parking lot. They cater parties to if you're interested. I'll definitely be back to try some other items on their menu. read more

Hello everybody I have been stopping by the deli. I have ordered a few sandwiches from there but the turkey sandwich with avocado on squaw bread is amazing. The service is fantastic. Great place to stop by sit outside. Have a nice sandwich. This is the place to stop by in East Los Angeles it is one of the best sandwiches I have had read more

They make delicious sandwiches! Food made with fresh everything! Nice seating under umbrellas just outside the patio. It's not fast food, not prepackaged, sandwiches made the way you want! read more

Service was great and our food came out rather quickly. Came here with a friend and she got the chicken caesar wrap and I got the avocado turkey wrap. Both of them were home runs. They come cut in half so we shared each other's sandwich. They have outside seating which is nice. They have plenty of drinks ranging from water to soda and coffee. I will definitely be back and try there other sandwiches. read more

Dave's Deli Catering - a menu in a window - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ambiance: This place is much smaller than I thought, no seating, and not many places to stand. Kinda gives small corner store deli vibes. Service: Very nice, patient, and helpful. I appreciated the suggestions and advice about my sandwich selection. Food: I went with the Chipotle chicken Philly combo, and I wasn't really impressed. When I heard chicken Philly, I didn't have this in mind, and the bread to filling ratio was off. It ended up just tasting like a regular chicken sandwich with peppers and onions. Overall, the sandwich was decent, just not what I expected. read more

I decided to try out Dave's Deli & Catering it's located a block away from the East L..A. courthouse and also the Metro Gold line in East L.A... I was very curious about Dave's Deli my wife and I went to have lunch at Juan's Rotisserie Pollo it's next door. They have the menu on the windows showing what of kind of hot and cold sandwich including salads and other items they make in the restaurant. They everything they made is fresh and made to order and also they high quality meats from Boar's Head one of my favorite Deli meats. I decided to order the turkey Sandwich with provolone cheese with everything including Persian cucumber. I got my sandwich then I took it home when I arrived I took a bite of my sandwich it took really good I really enjoy the turkey meat was really high quality turkey meat with good flavors and bread was soft and airy with other ingredients like the provolone cheese,lettuce,tomatoes and Persian cucumber were very delicious by the way I order the large it's big. Next when go again to Dave's Deli I need to try a different sandwich. read more

Dave's deli is located in a small shopping center and easily accessible. It's actually across the street from the east Los Angeles Courthouse- There is space to sit outside and enjoy the sun while you wait or if you decide to eat outside. The deli meats are delicious- made by boars head - you can't go wrong - there are many choices of breads or wraps. Dave's has plenty to choose from to add to your sandwich. BUUUT They have more than sandwiches; there are many delicious foods such as pizza breakfasts and soups! My favorite is the chicken and barley soup is simple yet flavorful and hearty!!! The sizes are 8oz all the way to 32oz to go Along with a side of garlic bread! A definite place to try read more

My sandwich was delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming. Although the space is small it was well norganized. Will go back again for sure and will take others read more

I love this place! Enough that I have tried many different items at this location. Notable items Toasted turkey bacon avocado: delicious tasting. Just a simple and tasty sandwich Waldorf salad: honestly a jr. Size is good enough. Comes with fruit and makes it very refreshing Vanilla coffee: cheap and just sweet enough! Better price than coffee bean if you're into flavors like iced vanilla latte. Clam chowder: SO freaking AMAZING. The best I've had because they are NOT stingy with how much clams and items they put into the soup Tomato basil: also a very good choice! Sometimes comes with pita bread and sometimes comes with garlic bread. Just depends on their availability. Chicken avocado salad- good. Can't go wrong there. Turkey Jack panini- was told this was a favorite. I liked the chipotle mayo. Gives you a little spice. Not my faves: Chicken Cesar wrap: the wrap was a bit thick, I think maybe it was made if wheat or something? I don't like wheat so if you do, then maybe you'll like this one. But I prefer the one at coffee bean next door. Grilled cheese: this might just be my preference. I don't like whatever cheese they use. I think the flavor just doesn't go well as a grilled cheese type read more

Always delicious food and drinks. Staff is very friendly. Been coming here for months, it never gets old. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich!!! read more

4.5 inch breakfast burrito for $9.99. I'd say that's a tad bit underwhelming. Flavor wise it was above average, but for the price I pay, I expect to be more full. read more

Stopped by last week for the first time and grabbed lunch. I tried the regular meatball sub and left full. They offered a large, but I'm sure that would've been too much for one person for lunch. The staff were friendly. They were taking orders at the door and walked your order to your table. They have about 5 tables and on the side of the building and parking in the rear. Overall the food and service was good. I would return and recommend. read more

I went a couple months ago for my first time and I absolutely loved it!!! I have gone back several times since the salsalito turkey sandwich is my favorite!!!! read more

I would not recommend for you to support this business. I worked there for a couple of months and got layed off after telling the owner George, that I had a bf. He is around 60, married w kids and often time would offer me money to hang out with him. Mind you he is married w kids. Not only that but I felt very uncomfortable as he would talk poorly about his wife, and how he was "bored" of her. At the time I had just turned 20 and he knew that, I made it clear, that I had no interest in hanging out with him outside of work. After me setting the record straight the next day, he did fire me and his excuse was that he didn't need me working. He is also a racist. I am Hispanic and so are the 3 other girls who work there, he would often talk about them bc they would talk Spanish, he doesn't respect his customers at all, and is overall a gross man. He caters for private schools, involves lots of children, it's sad. Always makes remarks on his customers and poor hygiene. The fridge where he stores the veggies was growing mold all around. read more

I like there cold sandwich turkey. They just do not give enough meat. B4 Covid they almost gave u enough meat on 1 sandwich to almost make 2 sandwiches. But of course the price has went up. read more

I absolutely love their salads and wraps! The sandwiches have quality ingredients but are not my favorite. I'm not a fan of the toasted sandwich bread. I would much prefer a panini on a roll. The soups are pretty good too. read more

Sandwich was as bland as can be. Cashier was nice but owner was so unpleasant. He bragged about what he was taking home to eat to his family and couldn't even acknowledge us as customers and say hello or welcome. read more

Drove down to Santee for a tournament. Was searching for a fast chop shop (something light, cold and refreshing) and came across Dave's. Menu was a bit confusing BUT the staff was extra helpful with my slow a** after a 7hr tournament. Food was great. Got your men/women back there... (winking at you and making you feel like a million dollars after a first degree burn from toasting in the sun). Ordered a fisherman sandwich. Pretty much a tuna sandwich. AMAZING AND REFRESHING. The bean sprouts were the finishing touch on that one. I do wish they would've added one or two more to pickle spears. read more

Amazing Superfood Salad I would and do drive up to an hour to get one now that I"ve moved.

No major complaints but this was nothing special. The staff was friendly and the food didn't take long to cook but it is extremely overpriced for what you get. They benefit from being one of few deli's in the area. My tuna melt was cool but again nothing special. There's a parking lot with plenty of parking and seating inside the deli. read more

Been coming here for a while but I have to say that they are highly over priced. Grossly over priced. Their service has also gone down the hole. Seems like the owner only focuses on his catering service to school lunch programs. Too bad, this is my last time coming here. A 9$ breakfast burrito is insane. read more

I ordered a pastrami sandwich from them through UberEats. The deli took forever to make the sandwich even though it said between 15-20 mins delivered. I finally got my food while waiting on my lunch break. When I opened it up I was shocked to see there were lit bits of pastrami, a little mustard and some pepperchinis. I called and asked to speak with a manager. After being on hold like 7mins George came to the phone. He verified he was the manager. I began to explain to George my concerns and he immediately responded with "it's an UberEats issue not mine." I explained that there wasn't an issue with the delivery, the issue is the food your establishment made. He seemed to get instantly agitated. I explained that there wasn't very much meat on my sandwich. He interjected rudely saying I know we put 5oz's of meat on our sandwiches so I don't know what happen. I assured him that my sandwich barely had any meat and that I took pictures of it if he'd like to see them. I advised him that I work at LA County ISD HQ and that we order from them all the time. He rudely hung up the phone on me after saying "whatever!" I will never do business with them again. I spent $14.81 including the 4.99 delivery fee for a bread sandwich. Never again! #HorribleCustomerService #NoMeatSandwhich read more

Going to say it's disappointing for my first time ordering this through UberEATS First off, they call me and say "we don't have anymore potato salad so we sent you macaroni salad" - what the... LOL who does that? I would expect maybe a cancellation or a refund on the potato salad When the food came, I got the combo and the macaroni salad was in a small plastic container that you'd put sauce in...along with a baby sized bottle water. $3 for that I guess that's why they didn't want to cancel the combo and sent macaroni salad Secondly, I ordered a Turkey panini with spinach and they give me cucumber and tomatoes.... how?! lol This was all ordered on an app which listed everything i ordered... that's pretty bad Basically a $17 sandwich that wasn't right and super small baby combo read more

Girl said deli was closed during business hours because she couldn't work the register, just to turn around and serve someone right after me. I caught the hint....and won't be back. read more

I came here for the first time unsure of what to expect but I was really craving a delicious cold sandwich. The girl with the dark hair who helped place the order seemed somewhat friendly, at first. Upon my arrival there was no one there. I placed an order for two sandwiches and somehow 3 other orders that were placed after me were made before mine were. I literally waited 20 minutes on a turkey pesto and roast beef. I was frustrated because of the wait but I thought it's okay, maybe they are having a tough day. I proceeded to check my sandwich because I requested to add jalapeños and avocado BUT to my surprise the avocado was missing. So, I approached the register to have this girl with the dark hair completely ignore me. She talked to the woman in the kitchen and continued to take her time bagging sandwich. She did not acknowledge me at all. I then waited ANOTHER 7 MINUTES to be helped. By that point the owner walked up to help. He seemed upset and almost gave the girl a dirty look. I will never come back. You cannot work in the food industry and blatantly ignore and disregard customers. Even acknowledging someone and letting them know you'll be right with them creates space for patience and understanding. But, NO being avoidant is the way to go with her at this establishment. Other than that, the sandwich was good just not worth the wait or the horrible experience. read more

The service was fast, and the cashier was super nice. The breakfast burrito was delicious, I ordered a deluxe burrito. I also ordered a Cesar salad, I like that the lettuce is shredded for you and it's well portioned. I give this place 4 stars only because the lentil soup was not good for my taste. I had no flavor and was missing some salt. It was very bland. Other than that I might go again since it's close to my job and overall it was good. read more

They were nice when I came in. No customer service issues, and my Reuben sandwich was sooooo delicious. Might be my new favorite sandwich spot. read more

Came here for a quick sandwich togo after being unable to park at subway a few blocks away. I thought ill give it a try. Wow, delicious! I only had the pesto panini w/ chicken and it was incredible. I order the large not thinking too much about it and thought $14.99, that's pricey! Well let me tell you, its totally worth it. The meat and cheese were hot, the vegetables were fresh and refreshing and with the bread and pesto sauce, everything melded perfectly. I cant speak for any of their other dishes but i will go back no matter what for what is now my favorite sandwich. Oh, and since I had ordered the large there were 2 sandwiches that were 8in. long each. I couldn't finish it all so I gave it to a family member who is now also hooked. A sandwich you would normally find in West LA, now in the heart of East LA. Great job! read more

I don't think I'll be coming here anymore. My order today (premium large sandwich) was done wrong. Lettuce and onions were missing and they put on the olives I asked them to leave off. When you're paying nearly $12 for a sandwich, you want it done right. Sadly, its only meat and peppers. I'm too busy at work to go back to tell them. Also, as others have said, the side orders like macaroni or potato salad are ridiculously small. Like sample sized. Way too small to charge nearly 3 dollars for. The seating area is also very small and usually very warm so I never end up being able to eat there. read more
