7 reviews for Chuck's Deli and Coffeehouse
A mile from my house. So friendly. Breakfast was good. I'll be back.
Oh, and they have a case full of delicious looking baked goods and samples to try out. . .just for that I'll be back. I'm curious to hear some of the music that frequents the shop. DO IT! They ARE kid friendly.
Things I liked:
1. samples of their cookies
2. art on the walls
3. the coffee
4. the close proximity to my parents house
Things I didn't like:
1. Weird ass service-I ordered an iced hazelnut latte since I was driving to San Antonio and didn't want to mess with a hot drink. The kid made me a hot regular latte. So I told him I had asked for iced and he proceeded to scoop 3 cubes of ice into my drink which did nothing but make it more watery. Deciding that it was too difficult to argue while toting a 2 year old around I got back in my car.
Now I know that I am not coffee snob by any means but I know what hazelnut tastes like and my sort of iced coffee did not taste like hazelnut. Or it was just very, very, very, very, very, very subtle. So I unbuckled the kiddo and went back inside and asked for an iced hazelnut latte. A very gruff ex marine looking man proceeded to remake my drink which was indeed iced but did not taste like hazelnut yet again.
I gave up and accepted my fate. Sigh....
This new little deli opened up about a week ago nearby my house. It took over the same little building that Hill Country Coffee House used to be in before it went out of business. This place is not exactly the best spot for a deli, but it serves the Manchaca/1626 neighborhood people well if they don't feel like venturing too far from home..(close to Texicana).so yes with it being so close I had to give it a try.
I went on the first day and you can tell they are still working on some kinks with the new shop/workers and all...the menu mainly consists of sandwiches ( hot and cold), salads, soup, coffee, breakfast tacos, and pastries.
Here is what went wrong:
1. Order a Grilled chicken salad - menu said it came with feta cheese, I got cheddar cheese instead
2. Raspberry Vinegarette I got, tasted like oil with an ever so slight hint of raspberry flavor..it needed more zing or maybe they needed to shake the dressing up a bit before serving.
3. Ordered a nonfat latte on ice, I am pretty sure I got a latte with whole milk
4. Significant other got the roast beef w/ provolone, he seemed happy
Overall the salad was good, but I missed the feta. We went around 2PM on a Saturday and were 1 of 3 parties there. I guess I should have sent the salad back, but I didn't feel like complaining with it being their first day, plus the fact that it took awhile. I still have high hopes for this place since it could be my convenient little stop so close to home, so I am going to make a couple more visits before making an executive decision on whether or not this place becomes one of my regulars..will update once I do!
I'm still here staring at the various countries captured all over the walls! Not to mention the wall dedicated solely to Audrey Hepburn :)
pros-
+Nice Staff
+Colorful atmosphere
+MY HOT SANDWICH:
Smoked Turkey, Provolone, Red Onions,Chipotle Spread, Add Avacado, Nah Tomatoes, wheat berry bread. this sandwich ROCKED and not since food heads have i given a sandwich that kind of cred! :)
+COOKIE
Potato Chip basically a walnut sugar cookie it was BIG and good(crunchy not soft but i like both) but not great
+Ok and Talking Heads just started playing STAR!
bombs-
-CHIPS
Ok, the chips they serve need to be Kettle style(CRUNCHY) and more flavor options
-Oh yea and the onions were a little long string-wise haha
-LOCATION! You know lovely Manchaca rd well its at the SOUTHERN TIP...
so ya they need to bring these sandwiches up north. they can leave the chips oh but my sis said the quiche rocked her world a little too...
I'm dropping them one star, because yesterday my soup was barely warm. Yes, I could have asked them to heat it up but I didn't. Too engrossed with my work, I guess. Still, the environment was good and the salad was great. Nice people working there too.

I'm always looking for a good place for free wifi and Chuck's fits that bill very well!

This is a surprisingly upscale establishment for this part of town. Behind a simple exterior hides a very nice full service coffee house: breakfast, lunch, desserts and, of course, coffee. It has ample wi-fi, outlets and comfy seating. There is a Chuck. He is on the premises to ensure great service. Highly recommended.
Chuck's mixed greens/walnut/cranberry/chicken salad is TO DIE FOR! Be sure to get the raspberry vinaigrette!!
