BUT, my husband and I recently took a trip to Paris and I also love pain aux raisins. To our delight, Cafe Bilboquet has those too, so my friend and I each had a small coffee and a pain aux raisins. The pastry was as good as any that my husband and I had in Paris! I've also had lunch here with a couple of other friends in recent months. They have a good variety of pretty authentic French sandwiches and some quiches, eggs, etc. Not inexpensive, but the food is top-notch. You order at the counter, then move up to the cashier, tell them what your order is and pay for it. If you're lucky, as we were around 9:45 this morning, you'll get one of the little round tables where you can sit and chat and relax; in good weather there are some tables outside as well; a lovely boulangerie or patisserie experience!

Yes, it can be crazy.

We got: - 2 hot chocolates: this was super chocolatey and it came with some milk - which was needed - fruit tart: this was super yummy! I would say this was overpriced for what we got ($33.75).

As of February 2026 there's a crazy amount of construction out front, meaning there's a single entrance/exit and outdoor tables that adjoin street construction barriers. Exterior aside, the interior was a bit chaotic, with tables and standing room almost on top of each other. The espresso drinks are good enough to brave the pandemonium that is ordering/waiting for your beverage, but plan on taking it to go if you come here!

We started with a bottle of the Alsace wine, which perfectly complemented our food and the Parisian vibe. I opted for the omelette with Gruyère which was delicious, although I found myself very full by the end, as it came with two sides. The fries were a must-have -- so crispy, salty & fresh. I'd recommend that at least one person at the table order them, but the portion is pretty generous. :) The service was nice, albeit a bit slow at times. However, the staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is chill -- we weren't in a rush at all! Sitting at a booth in the back, we had the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy our meal, making for a lovely brunch with friends or family.

Walked into Port Gourmet Deli while on the way to the train station. Just your average Jewish deli with a long and narrow corridor. Was there place to sit and enjoy the sandwich? I don't recall. I was in a hurry anyway. Took a chopped cheese to go and couldn't stop lamenting to my travel companion mid-train ride how this was the best 11 bucks spent on a shareable meal for two people! Yep, I hate to agree with her but it's even better than the famous NY slice we had near Broadway!! And by the time we got to the sandwich it was already cold. Still the flavor was so mellow but tasty! If you know what I mean! It didn't need any crazy amount of spice to taste delicious. The perfectly melted cheese throughout the chopped meat with dice tomatoes mixed in... heaven! I'm sure many train riders smelled the sandwich and looked our way and were jealous

The new people running the place were nice, but the place just wasn't the same.

While this used to be a true deli, now, it's more like the brick and mortar version of a Halal food cart. Don't get me wrong, There is absolutely nothing wrong with Halal food carts., I have gotten some amazing food at those places. Unfortunately that wasn't what I was looking for when I came in today. This place is the "Hello Deli" in name only. Once again, enjoy your retirement, Rupert. You've earned it.

Toasted bread, spicy mustard, a little mayo, Boar's Head Sausilito Turkey, dill pickles, pickled jalapeños, pepperoncini, and Munster cheese.
