Was super close to where I was staying for a quick work trip, and I was craving a sandwich. I am so glad I came in. I got the Mama Africa and thought it was great. A very unique sandwich and looking at the options, it was hard to pick one. The people working were nice, and I thought they had a good variety of snacks and drinks as well. I will definitely be back and have already told my sister about it who travels to Seattle for work more regularly. I would plan to take your food to go. If there was seating, I didn't see it, but I think most people want to grab and go anyway. read more

The sandwiches were delicious. We got the Cali turkey and roast beef. Both had good amount of meat and flavorful. It's just a carry out place so keep that in mind. I can't wait to try some of the other menu items! read more

Speechless! So glad I found my new favourite sandwich place for lunch! Service was friendly and this market also sells a large variety of ready-to-eat items, snacks, and beverages. I got the New Yorker sandwich and it was delicious. read more

Downtown Deli Market - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First, the employees were nice and this market has a wide selection of drinks and snacks to choose from. So, if that is what you are looking for, then this is a great choice. As for the sandwiches, I might have just gotten the wrong type of sandwich, but I was in the mood for a beef dip and it was pretty lackluster. The sandwich itself was light on the beef and microwaved. Full disclosure, I frown on microwaved bread. Beyond that, the au jus was watery and a bit flavorless. I might go back to try a cold sandwich sometime, as they seem to have done good choices that others have enjoyed. Overall, great for snacks and drinks, but ymmv on sandwiches. read more

The sandwich was really good. Very moist roast beef and fixings. Creamy Mayo. Very good quality crunchy bread. It was worth the 5 to 10 minutes I waited. The server was very professional and direct. The store was very quiet. Not much hustle and bustle. I don't mind that. The flavor was there. The balance of texture was there. That's exactly what you need in a good sandwich. read more

Enjoyed this place so much I came back twice during my trip! The sandwiches are fresh, hot, unique, delicious and well priced. They're also quick and the staff is friendly. They have a ton of other items, too. We tried The Sink and the Chipotle Chicken. There's a very small seating area (like one table and a small counter), so plan to take it to go if busy. Highly recommend! read more

Downtown Deli Market - Vegan sandwich, sub pesto for oil&vinegar Sparkling mango drink 18. Veggie Royale Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Unbelievable spot. Had a Rueben and a Chicken Tamale. Both fantastic. Get the Deep River zesty jalapeño chips as well.

It's not what I was expecting from the title a deli market. The outside signage is just enough to guide you to their entrance, but beware their two steps up to the swinging doors. As you enter the customer counter nearly always has an attendant. Nearby is agree standing kiosk to order prepared hot food. The beverages are around the market, and there is a sizable selection on offer from water to wine. It surprised me. We chose the BBQ sandwich by itself. I didn't notice if they had French fries available, but there are a lot of choices in snack chips. This time of year we need cough drops and sure enough, they had them, too. Which leads me to this. The shelves are Jam-packed with prepackaged drinks and snacks and home-remedy stuff. The aisles are reduced because of the merchandise sitting there, slightly in the way, but that's the trade off in having a wide variety of items to sell. The sandwich was good, the staff friendly, plus it was nice to get out of the rain and people watch. Shawn recommends this spot if it's someplace you need for a quick sandwich and more. read more

We swung by here our first night in Seattle because it was late and we just wanted something we could grab quick and take back to the hotel. One of the best decisions i've ever made in my life. We ate here FOUR more times during our six day trip. So, so, so good. Truly some of the best sandwiches i've ever had in my life, i find myself comparing every single sandwich I've had since returning home to these. And none even come close to holding a candle in comparison. A true hidden gem. (btw- a review below said these sandwiches are microwaved and that's not true. The workers cook everything on a grill and press, you can literally watch them do it lol) read more

The BEST sandwiches, hot or cold. I visit every time I'm in Seattle. And the owner is so kind. Best service ever. Tons of fun beverage options. Get the California not heated or the 206 heated. So dang good! read more

I ordered the Mama Africa with no jalapeños and added spicy mayo instead of the pesto and reg mayo. It was sooo good. One of the best sandwich combos I've ever had. It was still very spicy and I got it warmed. read more

Downtown Deli Market - Mama Africa Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My husband and I came in here because it was very conveniently located below our hotel. We ended up coming back a second time because of how incredibly nice the people who run this place are. They have tons of snacks and drink options and they also make sandwiches that aren't boring! We had the samosas and empanadas and they were really good. The service and selection here is incredible and we will definitely go out of our way to come back here on our return trips to the city! I'm a sucker for great service and this place has it! read more

Let me start by saying being from out of town I thought this was your average corner store. My hotels 2 minutes away and I figured I'd come here to stock up on some water bottles and snacks to save some money. Turns out they make sandwiches so I figured why not. Been in Seattle for 3 days and i have come back to this deli to eat every single day. These sandwiches are incredible, chicken chipotle to be specific. Awesome vibes, awesome dude behind the counter and most of all he makes a mean sammy! This place is an absolute gem (: read more
