An absolute joke and quite possibly the worst establishment I've ever encountered. The staff was unresponsive, rude, and their $9.50 turkey sandwiches (after tax) are the size of my fist. And they used a sliced CROISSANT as bread! It couldn't hold the turkey at all. Dude's don't know what they're doing back there. The restaurants and delis in BK Heights are ALL grossly overpriced for the crap they sell. Lassen & Hennigs is THE WORST possible place to walk in to. Literally, a living HELL. Go to Blimpie or Subway instead. Unless you want to break the band on a 5-bite sandwich, avoid this place at all costs. read more

Randomly found this spot and it was the cookies that pulled me in! Yum! A nice assortment of delicious baked goods!

Lassen & Hennings is the reason I'm struggling to fit into my skirt today. (Fine, not really. But I need to blame somebody that isn't me!) Stopped by in search of a gourmet cake and cookies for a small work party and was overwhelmed with the chocolatey options. The cakes here certainly aren't cheap, but they're worth it. My office loved the decadent chocolate cake. The Italian butter cookies were also a hit (they offer them pre-wrapped in pretty paper which is very convenient). Will be back for my next work occasion! read more

Lassen Hennings holding down Montague Street since 1939!!! when I worked across the street, I used to come here to get lunch/coffee... etc. All I can tell you is this place makes me hungry! Most importantly, any place that offers chocolate milk as a staple in their coffee fixings bar will get 5 stars from me! I love the store front! You don't see this old school signage anymore. Do yourself a favor: if you want a coffee don't go to the Starbucks 15 feet away, go here and get a taste of an more authentic NY. read more

This deli is above and beyond a regular place where you salads, sandwiches, etc... they have awesome selections of very fresh and reasonably priced food. They take credit cards, and if you are in a rush just browse the premade food section for a whole array of wraps, sandwiches, salads, side dishes and some main dishes. All of the employees have been friendly and I feel lucky to hop outside and enjoy lunch on the promenade!! read more

Lansen and Hennings is a deli and then it's a little more. They offer healthy lunch options ranging from salads with a ton of options for toppings to sandwiches, wraps and ready to eat hot food. Everything is made the moment you order it so it's not left sitting out or soggy. The place is clean and sanitary looking, the shelves are always stocked and appearances are up kept. There's also a huge desert section with different types of Italian cookies, cakes and pastries. If you're looking for a drink to have with your lunch try the ginger lemonade; it's really good but you must love ginger; who doesn't love ginger lol. read more

All I know is, that Red velvet cake aint nothing but the devil!!! Now I am sinner! Help me LORD!!! I am over here speaking in tongues and dancing with devil!!! No one should ever make a cake that d--n GOOD!!! read more

Great lunch spot in Dumbo. It's surprisingly hard to find decent lunch options in this area for people who work in the area. There are some options. But most are overpriced or not consistently good. This shop always had a good selection of soups, sandwiches, and small plates. As well as great snacks and baked goods. Beer selection seems really extensive too. I come here often for soup and think for the quality it is fairly reasonably priced, though still not what I would call cheap. read more

A bit intimidating, when you first walk in. Had the red velvet cupcake. I've had better, but it was a good quality baked item. Will go back to check out the other offerings one day. read more

I got a smoothie with a friend here. It had blueberry, strawberry, and banana...and it was great! Granted, it was like $5, but it was delicious. I am going to visit. It is awesome. The lady who helped me make the smoothie was really nice also. read more

Lassen & Hennigs' is an upmarket little deli in the quaint little neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. It has a mouthwatering range of desserts and sandwiches with inventive, quirky names. I got a Heavyweight, which is a hot pastrami on rye sandwich and my boyfriend got a Majestic Court, which has three different types of meat on a sandwich with cheese, lettuce and tomato. They had ran out of hero bread and replaced it with a baguette. The sandwiches were good enough to eat while looking over the Manhattan skyline; the rye on my Heavyweight was lightly toasted and the portion of pastrami was generous. I found the prices a little prohibitive, though: the average price of a sandwich was $6.95 before taxes and it wasn't even a huge Katz-esque one. I might come here again if I were walking around Brooklyn Heights, but there are a ton of other places to check out and it's not necessarily a come-back place. read more

Great pastries. Everything is so fresh!! I ordered my birthday cupcakes from them. They were a huge smash w my friends. Delish. I will definitely try them again. read more

Stumbled upon this location, as my co-worker and I set out to find a spot for lunch (but didn't have anything particular in mind), and we loved that they had a wide selection of homemade soups (up to six) and that there were a ton of seating options available on a Friday afternoon. My chicken noodle soup really hit the spot too, because I was starting to feel under the weather. Not crazy pricy and a calm spot to grab a quiet lunch if you work in the area! read more

As i was walking by, i was strangely craving some butter cookies, so I had stopped in to look at the variety they had. I do not normally purchase butter cookies when I have not previously read reviews about a place but I decided to give them a try. It was okay. The woman who served me was quick and kept thinking I was done with my purchase until I had asked for more items. I am not sure about their other stuff since they seem to have a lot more in that store. I had only tried the cookies as I sit here and type on yelp. They are decent. I think I've had better though... I'm not sure if I would recommend this place... It's like any delicatessen in the city (or rather the ones in midtown)... but this place does have a variety of things? read more

I was there yesterday for the first time and ordered 1/2 pound of assorted little cookies ( of my choice) , one big hamantash and a coffee. Hamantash was delicious - soft and fresh. The cookies tasted like grandmothers holiday kitchen. Coffee was good too. I will be back. read more

I absolutely love Lassen & Hennig. I've been going here since I was a very small kid. It's the perfect place to grab any meal on the go. Personally, I recommend the muenster and pastrami croissant sandwich and also the meatballs. It's got such an inviting atmosphere. A truly perfect classic Brooklyn Heights deli. read more

Lassen & Hennigs is an efficient, straightforward variety-type store in the neighborhood. Their bakery (makes?) some wonderful breads, cakes, and cookies. It's nice to have a solid, medium-to-high quality option on dull Montague. Ordered egg sandwiches - acceptable, vaguely funky-tasting meat. Picked up some fruit salad - oooooh, moldy blueberry...won't be back for fruit salad. It happens, but uh...left an impression. Stick with yummy cookies. read more

Their so-called "Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice" @ $8.95 a bottle is absolutely NOT fresh-squeezed. It's quite obviously pasteurized and falsely advertised. I have seen fresh squeezed OJ here before. I have purchased it many times. I am asking everyone to be aware that just because it says FS on the label, it doesn't mean it is. I spoke with the owner this morning. I have decided to shop elsewhere from now on. Shameful. read more

In typical BK fashion, L&H offers a large selection of items from a variety of purveyors in their bakery/deli hybrid configuration. On my visit, the staff was extremely overwhelmed (by a pretty darn small volume of customers) but borderline friendly, except when I asked for a bag larger than one that snugly fit my 3 small items. I snagged an uber-fresh blackberry tart, a moist and flavorful red velvet mini cupcake, and an un-thrilling Ugly (cheesecake top w/ choc cake bottom studded w/ choc chips) for a fairly steep $6.25. If I was starving and worked next-door every day of the year, I'd consider a return, but I won't make another attempt to stop in otherwise. read more

My review is based strictly on one thing only, so please keep that in mind... I ordered a Strawberry shortcake for an office party today, AND WE KILLED IT. It was delicious. Such an unassuming place to buy a cake, however that's right up there with Veniero's in my book. Soft, moist cake, perfectly sweet, ripe and fresh strawberries, whipped cream frosting that was light and fluffy and not at all overly sweet. All day coworkers have been coming to my desk to find out where the cake came from. We will def be getting all of our cakes from there from now on... Customer service was sweet as pie to boot. read more

I occasionally would go here for my croissant fix. Their baked products are good, but the setup/customer service is terrible. On my last visit, I waited in the makeshift line while the people ahead all ordered sandwiches (I wish I could just grab the croissant myself, but it's behind the counter). Finally it was my turn, but one of the employees took the order of the person behind me. So now I stepped right up and made it clear that I needed help. The next employee started taking the order of the person 2 places behind me, and I interjected. He stares at me blankly. Goes back to taking the other guys order. I reiterate that I need helpd and ask if I have done something wrong. Nobody looks at me. I leave. Write bad review. read more

I hate bell peppers and this place puts them on almost EVERYTHING. It's the first thing I smell when I walk inside. Just wrecks the taste of all those dishes that look delicious if it weren't for those bell peppers. They do, however, make terrific sandwiches. Get the sandwiches then run. read more

Knickerbocker, no tomato: Not just a description of Shirley Temple after her operation. Anymore. Eat it. Live it. PLUS, you can buy Boylan Cane Cola in glass bottles here: the greatest soda known to man and Missing Link. (And the name of the place is Lassen & Hennigs, but keech.) read more

Bought a strawberry short cake for my moms birthday here a last minute buy and she said it was great. Good for moms . That's a plus in my book read more

The bakery here is really great. Everything looks so yummy. I ended up buying about half a pound of the butter cookies which were delicious and tasted freshly made. Also, the older woman behind the counter was very sweet like a Jewish grandmother. She gave me two extra cookies without charging! Have to go back here and try the other baked goods. The mini cupcakes looked very tempting. read more

The only thing I've eaten there - so far - is their bread pudding, and it was delicious (I'm an admitted bread pudding obsessive, so trust me on this one). The other reason for the five stars is due to the wonderful counter service (extremely friendly & helpful) and the fantastic selection. A friend of mine who works in that neighborhood told me their rice pudding is also delicious. read more

The staff is so friendly here. Great place to pick up a ready-to-go meal. Had the herb crusted chicken that they actually heated up for me in-store. They do chicken right. read more

if you fancy a quick sandwich made from fresh ingredients, look no further than lassen and hennigs. I usually opt for one of their chicken salad wraps, but tried the DUMBO wrap during my most recent visit. Chicken and mango- what a tasty meal! Although I find lassen and bennigs to be a tad pricey (~$8), it's nice to have a reliable quick meal in the area. read more

I was wandering around the area and used Yelp to search for a sandwich (I know, so lazy). But I got lucky and picked Lassen & Hennigs in the Heights. Prices were high but felt standard for the neighborhood. My sandwich was delicious and hit the spot, and I got to enjoy it on the promenade. Watch out for strollers and random children running around this place. I was even given a loyalty card so I can return and drink more of their ginger-lemon ice tea (so good!). read more

Lassen & Hennigs - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food is good but expensive. Empty at 6:30 on a Friday. I went in for bakery and they squashed my cookies and started to make excuses about why! These cookies are $0.75 each and it's empty you think they can do it right. I had to get going since the service was so slow even though it was empty. I guess now we know why. Who has time for this nonsense? See pics attached read more

I went past Lassen & Hennigs and, like peter d. I was attracted into the store by the attractive window displays and, once inside, I got samples for myself, family and friends. I got samples of the cannoli, carrot cake, the red velvet, Napoleons and cookies. My Mom and I really liked the red velvet cake, although it was a bit dense and rich and we alone couldn't finish a slice. From now on, we will just stick with the red velvet cupcakes. My friend said the carrot cake (which I am going to have to get a whole slice of to try myself) was good the icing was sweet, but really good, but he said the cake was a bit dry. Everyone I shared the cannolis with liked them, no one had a single negative thing to say. The Napoleons and cookies - I need to get more reviews, but overall, I am a fan of L&H, and I know people say it is pricey, but if it is pricey for a reason, then that is also OK. read more

Disappointing. Over the last 20 years I would to go to L&H a lot but in the last few months just didn't get there. I wen today and order my usual the Cranberry park. They used a premade sandwich form the deli display refrigerator. The turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce were already on the bread. You could see the cranberry sauce had dried out. All they did was heat it and made it even drier. I liked it when the meat was cut fresh and everything was put together while you waited. read more

An institution. Montague street has changed a lot but Lassen & Hennings has hardly changed at all (and that's a good thing). True, it is on the pricey side. Hot Bagels next door is a better value. But the food here is a step above, especially the sandwiches and ready-made foods, and you can still get lunch for under $10. The beverage case carries an almost amusingly large selection. read more

Where can you go for - breakfast - coffee - a healthy lunch and - bakery fresh desserts ???? Lassen & Hennigs!! I've always wondered what the name means--perhaps the last name of two owners? I come here quite often since it's right by my work. I come here to grab a sausage, egg and cheese on a roll along with some iced coffee for breakfast. (Coffee is so so but good to get when I need a break from Starbucks). Then I head over to the fridge section to grab lunch for later. I can choose salads or sandwiches but I always end up getting an awesome premade meal whether it be gnocchi or jambalaya or salmon with broccoli rabe. I can just throw it in the microwave later and voila lunch is served! If I'm craving dessert I can grab a slice of red velvet cake or chocolate mousse or cupcakes!! This place has an endless variety of food!! The service is up to par. You are acknowledged and helped quickly especially if the owner(?) is working inside. read more

I had almost forgotten how much I love good sandwiches until I tried this place for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I keep thinking about going back. They have a number of specialty sandwiches on the menu, but you can also make your own. I've had several of their subs so far and each one has been delicious. The bread is always fresh. While I wait for my sub, I like to stroll around and peruse their prepared foods and baked goods. It's important to note that the store itself is nice and clean. I have resisted their cookies so far but don't expect that to last very long. read more

The store has a well-deserved reputation for fresh baked items, and also features coffees, teas and prepared food. A good spot to buy takeout lunch, or to cater an event or pick up an exquisite cake. read more

I come here whenever I can to get some sweets. The muffins are always perfectly moist and the m&m cookies are exactly how they should be. Everyone is usually very nice and attentive to your needs. read more

CUPCAKES!! They have the best red velvets I have ever tasted. My office used to buy bagels for parties. Sort of ordinary. Now we buy a selection of L&H mini cupcakes - maybe 75% reds and a mix of the rest - and things have perked up considerable. Sometimes we get two RVs and go next door to CoffeeBucks for a caffeine fix. Yummy-Perfection. People behind the counter and at the register have always been super polite. read more

The Lassen & Hennigs egg & cheese is the best breakfast sandwich in the neighborhood. I don't know why they make it better than any other deli around but the egg is soft and not overcooked while the cheese is just melted enough without being too gooey. I lean towards the turkey sausage for the meat if I get one but the bacon and ham are both fine as well. You can tell the deli man that you want salt and pepper when you order, but 9 times out of 10 he'll ask you again anyway. The lunch sandwiches are adequate, if a bit pricey. The macaroni salad and a few other deli counter items are very nice as well, but overall L&H is the kind of place where you find a couple of things that they do very well and you go there just for those things. For me, that's usually a breakfast sandwich and either an iced coffee or an Arnold Palmer from the self-serve iced tea and lemonade. The iced cappuccino can be very good most of the time but oddly bitter at times so I've been sticking to my own iced coffee concoction lately. read more

Ok, full disclosure...I am a chocoholic with no plans on EVER recovering. So for my birthday, my hubby treated me to a cake from his one of his favorite bakeries. Given my unfamiliarity with the menu, I walked in to explore the options and report back with my decision. After consulting with a staffer who had insider knowledge, I opted for the all chocolate layer cake - boy was it good to the last crumb and worth every penny. I was initially intimidated at first, thinking that i had finally met my match because it was definitely overflowing with chocolatey goodness. I mean it was moist, soft, and not too sweet (no need to call the dentist). In the less than 72 hours that this cake lived in our house, we had this cake for breakfast and dessert. Even the photo I posted on Instagram had my followers drooling for a slice. I will absolutely come back for more sweet treats. read more
