    Loved this little deli! Being from CA we don't have places like this. This is quintessential NYC. And I'm so glad we stopped here. This was just a few blocks from our hotel and looked like it had a lot of great breakfast sandwich options, so we had to try it out. This place literally has everything you could want or need. It's a grocery store mixed with a deli, mixed with a convenient store. We got the Hungry Man and the Giants. And both were really good. The bagels were fresh, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was seared. The service was quick and the guys working were very friendly.

    Salmon Caesar wrap

    Found on yelp! I was a little hesitant to eat lunch here but honestly it is the cleanest deli! I ordered a green juice which was phenomenal and a Caesar salad wrap sub salmon! It was seriously so tasty and hit the spot. They even gave me a mini lays with the wrap! The wrap was wrapped perfectly and the sandwich did not get soggy on my walk home. I love how customizable everything is. Will definitely come back!

    Bacon Egg Cheese on a roll
    Chris W.

    Visiting NY for the first time one of the things I was told to get was a Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a roll. While staying in Brooklyn, I did a little search and noticed this was just a 10 min walk from where I was staying. Walking in, its a full blown convenience store and look like they stock some great items, even English chocolate bars and sweets! Ordering was a cinch and very straightforward. Service was also very quick and soon I was walking away with my food. The sandwich was unbelievably good! Even my daughter who doesnt care much for eggs, thoroughly enjoyed it. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was crisp but not shattering to the bite and the cheese was nice and melted in the eggs. So simple yet so good and these guys have it down! I enjoyed it so much I returned two days later for their Ham, sausage, bacon, egg & cheese. Also very good, however, I think I preferred the simplicity of the first.

    The cook was kind, I ordered 5 to bring back to my coworkers in Vegas he was very patient just wish I had known it came with chips and in a big container so I could've saved him the time

    I found this place on Yelp and I am so thankful that I did! The place was clean and well stocked. The food itself was fairly priced and REALLY good!! We got chopped beef sandwiches and they were amazing. I am not from the area but if I was, I'd be a regular here a few times a week, no questions asked. If I ever return to NYC, I will definitely make sure to stop by and get a few sandwiches. I highly recommend!

    BLT

    I enjoy some of the lunch buffet items, but for breakfast sandwiches, not so much. This is the second time I've ordered a BLT and there's literally two pieces of bacon on it. Unacceptable!

    Turkey breakfast sandwich

    Overall, excellent smoothies, sandwiches, and prices! I was so impressed with this place. I am so picky about breakfast and stress about how I'll get a balanced breakfast when I travel. I returned every day I was there because everything was so delicious and a great price. They had fun drinks, good coffee, and most essential groceries. I had a green smoothie with berries and peanut butter each morning that was to die for and the service was great. Everyone was kind and let me customize what I wanted in my smoothie. Everything looked clean and all of the ingredients looked very fresh.

    the young man here made us immaculate smoothies. had great vibes and service. 10/10 clean deli w healthy snacks.

    Bagel with no cream cheese

    I loved this place and was otherwise a happy loyal patron until today. I asked for bagel toasted with butter and then spread of cream cheese as last time I got a bagel with half cream cheese and half butter which nearly gave me a heart attack from the first bite. The gentleman making the food informed me he wouldn't be able to toast with butter. I kindly let him know then just the cream cheese and no butter. The guy next to him mumbled something under his breath and after asking him what he said he said nothing. I was up the block when I realized I was given a bagel with nothing! Clearly the man behind the counter doesn't like to be told what to do. I walked back and asked for a refund and was given $1 with no apology. This was a clear act of retaliation because I wanted my food a certain way. Again the food is good here but it is as is. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT YOUR FOOD COOKED TO YOUR LIKING!

    Nice, clean deli!!!

    Love, love, love how efficient and clean this deli is! Two cooks, an extensive menu, and a lovely proprietor who keeps the line moving and keeps everyone happy. i also appreciate that i was able to get a halal turkeybaconeggandcheese sandwich on a toasted roll! He even made me theeee PERFECT large tea w/ minimal instruction - 2 creams, 2 sugars. i and my big pregnant belly were so happy!!! i'll happily stop by again and see if i can try a hero next time. It's giving authentic yet elevated bodega vibes and i'm HERE FOR IT.

    Loved our visit to Smiths! It's a one-stop shop. There is a small grocery store in the back while you wait for your fresh deli sandwich (hot or cold) to be made. We ordered the Philly and the pastrami sandwiches (I can't remember exactly the names). One thing that I absolutely loved and what stuck out to me-is that these guys know their stuff! Like 3-4 people came in after us to order and the cook didn't write one thing down-but got everyone's order right! And in a timely fashion! You can't beat that. These guys are pros! The sandwiches themselves were delicious. Flavorful. No offense, but better than sandwiches we had in Manhattan. I'll be adding this to my favs list for the next time we visit the city!

    Half a chopped cheese. Packed with meat/other stuff and free chips.

    If you're in the mood for a late night crave (and I mean any time as they are open 24 hours unlike basically every other place in the area,) this is the best spot. Cheap tasty food (under ten bucks mostly) with sandwiches all served with chips. Also a noted drink selection compared to most places (both soft drinks/water/health drinks) as well as a surprisingly good selection of craft beers and some macrobreweries. The only place I know of with more soft drinks in the area is probably the new location of Dumbo Market further down on Smith. It's one of those places that's really difficult to complain about. Nice guys working here also.

    The New Yorker
    Lucy M.

    This place is a godsend. Open 24/7, with friendly service, reasonable prices, extremely clean, and a killer sandwich selection (it's a bit like the Sunny & Annie's of Brooklyn). I ordered the New Yorker: spicy chicken cutlet, Colby pepper jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, chipotle mayonnaise on hero. I'm not sure the ingredients make me think "New Yorker", but whatever! The sandwich is really freaking good. Moist chicken, not too spicy, crispy bacon - plus it's $9.50 before tax and comes with a bag of chips. Can't beat that.

    Great deli. They make the best sausage or bacon egg & cheese in the area. Sandwiches are great too.

    Haven't come here in so many years. Came on. saturday party of 4 wound 5 pm pretty busy was offered…read moreoutside seating but we decided to wait no problem we weren't in a rush. Sat in a pretty big round table near the bathroom. I feel the menu changed since last time or maybe I don't remember. But we used to get the fresh mozzarella with basil , tomatoes and glaze and I count find it or maybe it was worded differently nonetheless we ordered calamari. My family said they were ok. Me and my husband ordered the lasagna it took so long to come but again we understood it was busy. It was worth the wait so delicious. The girls had a pizza they absolutely loved it. I had pinot grigio nice cold and refreshing. My husband first got a stella on draft then got a old fashioned he said it was the best he's ever had so that says something. I was in the mood for pasta but I didn't see anything on the menu with something like broccoli and garlic with olive oil. We also saw a few ants but as long as they weren't roaches it wasn't a big deal lol

My favorites are the Margherita and Zucchini (white sauce). You can buy individual slices as well. La Villa is such a great local gem and definitely worth a stop in!

    "Velvette Brew is a beloved neighborhood cafe roaster where quality craftsmanship meets genuine…read morecommunity connection specializing in thoughtfully roasted coffee and tea paired with fresh pastries" Here's the thing.. coffee places are not just coffee places.. they are gatherings where we purchase coffee but there is a human connection. We come to sit, talk, share stories, our personal experiences and of course sip a fabulous beverage. I'm seeing this more and more as I visit fabulous coffee places.. Konditori, Villager, Bakeri, Hidden Grounds, and now Velvette Brew. First, the space: light, airy and I can imagine with their big windows, a sun soaked place on a sunny day. There are plenty of seats: tables and high top tables. Their menu offers a bit of everything from soup, sandwiches, quiche and pastries. There is a nice option of beverages hot/cold. Today, was a bit damp so I ordered a hot chai with bite size checkerboard cookies to dip. The barista was very pleasant and I found a seat while waiting for my chai. I see a lot of patrons working in laptops, some meeting up to talk and sip and even the barista chatted with a local patron. Love it! My chai was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chai was frothy, rich, the black tea leaves infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, sweetener, and milk. I savored every sip and complimented the barista. It is always great to find a new coffee place. I expect to be a loyal local at Velvette Brew. They also host music events and have a collaboration with Cry Baby Ice Cream. It is located in the heart of Park Slope. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Velvette Brew 279 5th Avenue B63 to 3rd and 5th or R to Union Street, 10 minute walk.

They have a good amount of tables and chairs in the shop so a good place to grab a seat and chit chat with a friend. They offer a few bites to eat but nothing gluten free for this celiac girlie.
