On October 16th, I placed an online order for a strawberry shortcake from this bakery and I scheduled the delivery for 6 pm. On October 18th, I received an email rescheduling the delivery to 4:15. It is worth noting that the website had me provide a telephone number and indicated that I would be reached at that phone number. I did not receive a phone call. I didn't see the email until the 19th. I called the bakery and asked if the delivery could be moved to 5:15 so that someone could be home to receive it. The woman who answered the phone put me on hold and then came back on the line and said that they could deliver the cake at 5:15. Later on, she called me back to tell me that, as per the manager, the delivery had to be moved back to 4:15. I asked to speak with the manager. The manager came on the phone and I couldn't finish explaining my issue before he began to speak to me in the most condescending manner. He began talking over me, wouldn't let me finish a thought or complete a sentence. He was incredibly rude and abrupt. Ultimately, his solution to the problem in the final hour was for me to pick up the cake which was not an option because I was at work or to cancel the order which wasn't an option because it was the day of the event. A simple apology for the inconvenience would have sufficed. Ultimately, I told him that I would make arrangements for someone to be available to pick up the cake at 4:15. At 4:30, when the cake still had not been delivered, I called the bakery back. To my surprise, the delivery person was still at the bakery (although the manager said that the delivery person started work at 6 am and that his last delivery was at 4pm because he had to get home to his family). He checked my order and told me that it had been CANCELLED. I never requested for it to be cancelled and I was not informed that it would be cancelled. In the end, the cake was delivered close to the time that I requested. I usually don't write reviews but you need to be aware that if you schedule a delivery from this bakery, they may not honor the delivery time request and if you need to speak with a manager, be prepared to be disrespected. read more

Very expensive and they seem to always mess up my uncomplicated sandwich order. However, they have some decent prepared food like pastas and salads. Worth it if you have the money to spend. Just beware of ordering a sandwich from there. Speak SLOW...and maybe check it before you go! read more

I have, for many years, taken out prepared foods from Lassen & Hennigs. I had not, until recently, had the occasion to use their catering services. I was having brunch for a large number of old friends and wanted everything to be perfect. Although I did the main courses myself, I relied on L&H to do some of the fancier platters for me. The platter of lox was beautiful and, although I do not eat lox, I was told that it was just about the best ever. The highlight of my table though was the fresh fruit platter. It was a work of art, a true masterpiece. There was plenty of fresh fruit but the display was incredible. I will definitely use L&H again when I entertain and, perhaps, use them to do the entire job so I can relax more. read more

It's a nice looking bodega, and the staff are extremely pleasant. Unfortunately, I was charged 5$ for a drip coffee that ended up being watery. I was shocked as I'm used to Dumbo coffee costing between 3 and 4 dollars from the local coffee shops (which of course is ridiculous but...) and I couldn't find a price listed. Honestly, take your business elsewhere please-- read more

Not the cheapest breakfast/ lunch menu in town but the sandwiches do delight. Highly recommend the Knickerbocker sandwich. The place is also a staple in the community for a long time. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for 45 years, but only in the last 20 them have I spent delving into the abundance of goodness and goodies at L & H. Apart from from their soups, deli, and prepared food, all of which are very good and all of which would earn--in my estimation--L&H 3 to 4 stars, it is in their baked goods that their "goodness" lies and what lifts them up into the 5-star category. Their butter cookies, their cakes, and assorted bakery-style sweets are the best I've ever tasted. Not a birthday goes by these days where a friend (usually from across the river) begs me to order and bring the cake--including today, when I am feeling sooo very lazy! The butter cookies are full of the most delicious, wein-clogging buttery substances, not to mention the chocolate and jelly. No, they are not paying me to say this, but I will take any and all contributions from them if they so desire, eh wot? No, seriously, it's seriously first rate!! read more

I didn't quite realize how special this place is but it's the best. Really fresh, amazing food. Great variety from fresh baked goods to soups to sandwiches and salads. Things you can get hot to things you can prepare at home. The service is excellent and very efficient and helpful and friendly. On top of that, they have the best coffee on the block. Family run and very thoughtful. Don't sleep on this place. read more

I've gotten different cakes here and they were good. My favorite is the red velvet cake though. I like how the frosting and cake isn't overly sweet. Also the cake is moist so that's a plus. It's perfect for my taste buds. I've also tried the tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, and carrot cake. They were ok. They weren't the best I've had. I would only come back for the red velvet cake though. read more

Stop paying so much for ok cake in fancy boxes. Their red velvet is so good, rich and creamy, you will want to slap your mama.

I stopped in with a coworker based on Yelp reviews while in the area on business. I got the Roslyn Heights and it was awesome! Everything from the pastrami to the bread to the temperature was perfect. She got something along the lines of an Italian hero and raved about it as well. We were in a hurry so we didn't get anything from the bakery but the desserts looked fantastic. The service is great and the prices are reasonable given the quality. I'll definitely go back. read more

Lassen and Hennigs was everything I was looking for when I moved into Brooklyn Heights, all cutely wrapped into one shop with friendly service and a great selection. They have an extensive selection of premade foods, and if you're like me and normally cringe at the decomposing tubs of coleslaw and potato salad, prepare to be pleasantly surprised. They have a MUCH greater selection than just the normal fill-in-the-blank salad, and all of the ingredients they use are fresh. I've gotten an awesome tomato/avocado/onion salad, but they have entrees and soups to go as well-- all just as delicious as the next. They have a make-your-own salad option too, with many different add ins. Also, I feel like I should require a 12 step program for how much I'm addicted to iced tea. They have various flavors constantly brewed in the back, and I can get an overly large cup as well as dispense my own perfect ice amount! Sometimes, it's the small things that make a shop truly great, and in this case, many many small things. Come here for a good sandwich, grab n go delicacies, and to support a neighborhood favorite. read more

Jury duty always feels like a pain and always seems to come upon you at the most inconvenient times. However, finding Lassen & Hennigs on one of my two days of jury duty was like finding a special treat. After living in three states since I turned 18 and became a registered voter, I had never been selected for jury duty. That has all changed now. After one year of living in Brooklyn, they found me and as part of my civic duty, I spent two days at the Brooklyn Supreme Court down the street. On my one hour lunch break, I wandered into this lovely little deli after the Yelp app on my phone seemed to point out that it was one of the best choices in the area. I was not disappointed! I had the Knickerbocker Sandwich which was delicious. The tomatoes and the chicken were so perfectly sliced and then so delicately stacked on my sandwich. It was a beautiful thing. I also had the rice pudding after finding out that they were out of bread pudding. It was definitely one of the tastiest rice puddings that I have ever experienced. It wasn't as good as my grandmother's rice pudding but that is pretty hard to beat. It's too bad that I don't have to do jury duty again for another 8 years. Now, I'm going to have to find other reasons to be in this area at lunch time! read more

I pass by this place sometimes for work and see all the amazing baked goods. One day I decided to pop in and I got some of the fresh guacamole. Worst mistake ever!! ): I got food poisoned!!! Spent the entire night hugging a toilet! Now I've never had anything else from this place but it's definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. (Pun intended) sorry Lassen and Hennings, too pricey and you got me sick read more

I first wrote a really scathing review for this place because I was really angry that they messed up my sandwich to the point where it was not edible and I literally hadn't eaten all day... I ordered in because I don't think I could have made it to the nearest food establishment or grocery store. That said, they really don't deserve 1 star because whoever makes their sandwiches can't read and/or understand english. They also keep forgetting straws which makes drinking my large iced coffees kind of difficult. Their delivery is kind of sloppy, once I had someone call and say they were out of whatever flavored something or other, but usually they'll just give you whatever muffin despite the fact that you ordered something else. That's really my fault, though because 1) I probably shouldn't be eating any sort of baked anything and 2) If I do east some sort of baked, fattening something or other, I should walk there and back. Anyway, Lassen & Hennigs is a really great gourmet deli and has a really awesome selection of everything, especially if you want to grab something to eat later (like a sandwich or a salad) or a dessert. They have a fantastic selection of prepared meals. The coffee is excellent and if I didn't work at Starbucks, I would totally tell you to go there rather than Sbux which is basically next door. If you like croissants, go there. Their filled croissants are incredible. Like France. So, I'm sorry Lassen & Hennigs. Hopefully I can order delivery from you again and you won't spit in my food. read more

We ordered two cakes for an office party and it was a hit. The strawberry shortcake and chocolate layer cakes were delicious and looked beautiful. The inscriptions on the cakes were exactly as I requested. The staff was pleasant during the 2 times I made changes to my order. Delivery was on time and appreciated. I will be ordering my cakes from this bakery from here on. read more

I thought the sandwiches would be really good based on the reviews and the fact that this place is always crowded, however I found the sandwiches very average, even worse the baked goods were a tad stale tasting. All in all it reminded me of a Winn Dixie Deli, with the appearance of a higher end establishment. read more

Years ago, I learned that the best way to ensure I have a good time at parties I host in my home is not to cook. My ideal caterer would provide food that: can be eaten in one hand while holding a drink in the other hand; does not require heating; and freezes beautifully. After trying several establishments, Lassen & Hennigs has proven to be the most reliable. Their online menu offers variety and is easy to navigate. On the rare occasion when something goes wrong, their customer service is impressive. For example, I always order Lassen & Hennigs' mini latkes because my guests invariably rave about them. The last time I had a party, only one of the three platters of the mini latkes were delivered. Given it was Sunday on Memorial Day weekend, I wasn't surprised that I got Lassen & Hennigs' voicemail when I called. Mohammed Soleiman, the kind man who delivered the food, immediately called Lassen & Hennigs on my behalf, got through, alerted them to the missing platters, rushed back to the store, and delivered the beloved mini latkes in no time. Thanks, Mohammed! read more

I love this place usually. I've taken away one star for their bread quality. It's hit or miss...today I bought a European baguette...it felt hard I asked if it was made today, the lady said yes but it was not. I've spent enough time in Europe to recognise old bread. Disappointing. But on a lighter side the cakes are delicious. Great red velvet especially the slab rather than the cake. Also love the chocy mousse. My husband loves the rice pud. And they always give my son a complimentary sprinkley cookie. Nice crew as well as good food. Shame about the bread. read more

I have lived in the neighborhood for five years now. Every day that has passed has seen this Deli's quality plummet. The sandwiches are not very tasty and the staff doesn't know how to take or remember an order. I have officially eaten the last bad sandwich that I didn't order from this place. read more

oh.my.god. so my apt was a half block from l&h. i didn't cook back then so thank christ for this place. i'd stumble home exhausted from work (or stumble home exhausted from bourbon) and pick up the essentials: sliced fresh pineapple, something from ben & jerrys, honey nut cheerios. they also make solidly delicious sandwiches for those days you can't ignore the siren song of the promenade. (baked goods? yes please. also divine!) read more

We're on vacation and stumbled on this gem. Fresh baked good, sandwiches, salads, and lots of drinks and fresh foods to go. There's no place to sit but it's a short walk to anywhere to sit and watch the world go by. It definitely feels like a NYC kind of place. Great find. read more

Got catering from this place for a house party of 30 guests. Delivery was prompt and the packaging was perfect. Nothing was missed in the order except the tarter sauce for the crap cakes. We got the presidential buffet which was a remarkably good deal at $18/head and a lot of variety/options. The food was just okay, nothing to write home about, and pretty much in line with what we expected for stuff made it bulk - some things were too salty or overcooked. That being said, it was plentiful and thus no one went home hungry. Seems like the guests were satisfied, or they just didn't want to complain. My review is that the food was not bad but not great. I suppose you pay for what you get! read more

Best black and white cookie I've ever had. It's not even a cookie it's like a cupcake. Always fresh and the price is great. Never tried their sandwiches but I hear they're delicious. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. As for the location, who doesn't love a walk down Montague? :) read more

Great food. Very clean. Super friendly. Love it. As for Mo D's review below...clearly she has something against them b/c her picture shows the unit price of $16.99 and the weight of what she bought, .19lbs, so she paid like $3.20. Notice how the actual price is cut off to the right? Rude. read more

Ive been living in the heights for over 20 years and when i first moved here from Utah Lassen was here I'm proud to see how this food store had involved through all this years. i have a personal rapport with the owners and I'm happy their success has been good read more

Lassen and Hennings is a gracious cheap date night spot. On a nice evening, go to this ordinary looking deli with extraordinary food. The Thanksgiving Day sandwich (I think it has a different name, but you get the point: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce) is the best sandwich out there. I die and am reborn every time I eat it. Get your food, pick up an iced tea, get something from the bakery section (the cheesecakes are surprisingly good), and head down to the Brooklyn promenade. Find an empty bench for you and your date, enjoy your delicious food as you watch the sunset over downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. read more

Very good sandwiches. Very fresh and friendly. Iced coffee is not bad. Black & White's are no good. -1 for price.

As a local who's lived 5 minutes away got to say I'm not a big fan. Mostly over rated by loaded stay at home moms who can afford to pay jacked up prices for a slightly better than average salad at best. The food just isn't that great for the gourmet prices they charge. Best thing is the deserts, but homemade is still better. read more

I'm so over this place. I used them for catering only so I can't testify to anything else. Their catering is extremely overpriced for what you get and there are so many better options around the area. The food was good, but it certainly wasn't anything to write home about. They also messed up the billing for our order and double-billed credit cards on two separate days for the same order. Their catering department's organization is kind of a mess. I won't be using them again. read more

We had ordered in a group and there was an order for 2 Jackson Heights sandwiches in that order along with other sandwiches. Instead what we got was Heavyweight sandwich with rye bread. Whoever took the order ended up entering the wrong item. We accepted to keep the wrong item. But the sandwich was probably the worst I have ever tasted. It was just dry, tasteless and not worth the $7.50 they charge for this. I will never order from this place again. read more

The cakes and pies here are pretty good. Also the catered food is also good. My fav. on a hot summer's day is their cold homemade ice tea

their cheese cake is great! You will get into it so easily. And good place to pick up a quick lunch box.

We ordered baked goods for a corporate event. Everything was soooo yummy and delicious and delivery was smooth and on time. Everyone raved about the lemon bars from the Homestyle Dessert Platter. My only critique would be that we asked about a delivery fee and were told delivery was free. However, there was a $10 service fee. Not sure what this was for and would have appreciated being advised of such upon placing the order. However, I would definitely order from them again. read more

Best cannoli!!!! I love the small miniatures of there desserts. It's the perfect size for a nibble or to try a few. Their butter cookies were great as well and very light. read more

Best salads in freshness and price in the area. If you have time come here instead of Court Order. The dressing options are more limited, but still worth it. read more

great sandwiches good prepared food rad staff when i live in BH this was my local deli spot i'm not a big deesert person but i make an exception for them. delicious read more

We do a good amount of catering through Lassen & Hennigs because of its proximity to the office and also because of its freshness and deliciousness. We just did a cupcake thing the other day, and I'm still thinking about the cute little key lime cupcake I had. This place is great! read more

Not having tried anything but their incredible cupcakes, I don't feel like I can give a full 5/5. However, their red velvet cupcakes are absolutely incredible. I got a few minis in addition to the full size ones just so I can nosh. And just so I didn't keep a narrow view, I got a few oreo vanilla cupcakes as well. Can't say enough about how great the cupcakes are, and I have tried more than a few cupcake places. Stop in and get a cupcake. read more

For the past 3 months, every other Tuesday I have been treated to lunch @ Lassen and Hennings.... AMAZING. read more
