    I've always wanted a deli to call my own. You know, the sort of place where you walk in, and the guy behind the counter waves and says, "The usual, friend?" and then passes you a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with extra cream cheese on the side, all perfectly packaged in a nice little paper bag that's already been sealed up because said deli guy knew you'd be coming in at 7:24am. On the dot.

    Dreaming big, you say? Never gonna happen, you smirk?

    I was skeptical, too, until I started frequenting the Brooklyn Heights Deli, where, when I walk in the door, I'm always greeted with beaming smiles. These guys love me.* I love them.

    This is MY deli, and it's a good one. The food here is solid. There's a nice little outdoor seating area out front. During the holidays, there's a singing Santa outside that hypnotizes small children. It's a jolly place.

    *Sidenote: I've witnessed the same I've-never-been-happier-to-see-anyone-in-my-entire -life exchange with other customers. So I guess this isn't an exclusive affair. Sigh.

    So *this* is how the other half lives.  You Brooklyn Heights snobs should check out what a real bodega looks like.  What with your clean floors, stock that isn't covered in dust, clerks who aren't smoking inside, and a deli counter you'd actually dare order from.

    Pfft.

    Rude ass bastards. I was waiting patiently in front of the counter (only customer in store, thursday afternoon around 2:30pm) made eye contact, smiled, looked at paper menu- nodded- and folded it, eye contact again- and 3.5 minutes later two ladies off some tour bus come in the doors and talk to each other about tuna salad for a minute---- and the guy at the counter then turns to them and asks them what they want. He saw the look on my face, and continued grabbing rolls to make their sandwiches. A US Postal Service courier came in just after the two hags and witnessed this and was shocked to the point of her jaw dropping. But I was already on my way OUT the door.

    Totally horrible. I'm not used to bad service.  True, I'm basing this review angrily and on a one time experience-- but I'm never going back to revisit this shit. The guy was a douche bag. And shame on the two old hags who KNEW i was next and continued to order. I hope their tour sucked.

    The shop is clean. It has a few tables outside and it makes a great sandwich. The best I have had in Brooklyn Heights. I finally tried this place after walking past all the time. The man made me a great sandwich.

    We had a good discussion on not putting too much on the sandwich because if you do you simply lose the flavour. We both agreeded that  too many condiments are a bad thing.

    I have found my new sandwich shop.

    I will be back.

    While getting lost in Cobble Hill i stumbled upon this deli. I was in desperate need of something to drink and wandered in where i was greeted with a big hello and two smiles from the people behind the counter. As expected from any deli/convenience store the isles are small and tight in order to offer you the large array of items. The small deli counter contained what looked to me like very fresh and yummy deli meets and salads (though I did not order any food). Theres an atm here and the fee is super low, too (they only accept cash)

    upon purchasing my soda i asked for directions and not only was i happily given great directions but a nice conversation about the area as well. The staff were very nice, helpful and a pleasure to run into on my adventure.

    Great deli of the kind growing rarer and rarer around NY. Excellent selection of cold cut and prepared items and coffee still served in the old blue, gold and white "pleasure to serve you" paper cups with faux greek lettering.  A few tables out front for al fresco dining.

    Great subs & free delivery in the neighborhood. I can always count on being extremely satisfied whenever I order a hero from them.
