I came in thinking it would be expensive, super pretentious and mediocre quality. We ordered a coffee and a sticky bun.
We were pleasantly surprised! It was only expensive and slightly pretentious. The coffee was actually quite good, and the sticky bun was really excellent, really really good, definitely worth it.
It's a little crowded inside, but yeah the baked good seem top notch.
Extremely cute market! Popular by demand. My sister and I were lucky to stop by the one located in the Upper East Side. We stopped in for vanilla lattes at the barista station. Quick service to take orders and pay, short wait for the actual product. They had a lot of people working at the time. My sister walked around hoping to pick up a special souvi for her husband but the other items there were on the pricier side.
The customers inside looked like people who dropped by during their break from work, which made me feel like everyone was moving really fast. They have several locations in NY so yelp the closest one to you! & order a vanilla latte — they were delish. I also saw that they had macarons — which had great presentation but unfortunately didn't get to try.
Best sea salt chocolate chip cookie. When I gave to my daughter she said "mommy can you buy me this every day" very chewy and fresh and crunchy at the edges. Overpriced for most of the deli food as well as pastries but very good quality. Their sushi is the best always fresh, and great spicy mayo.
So many times they have been a life saver for me when I worked in manhattan. Always nice and professional! Yummy products
When in a city that has Dean & Deluca, we always stop in. This location is less tourist and more locals. The people working the counters were very friendly and happily answered any questions. Funny story, we walked up to the counter as the brussels sprouts we coming off the stove in the back and the smell was almost foul, we surveyed the surrounding diners for diapers and our feet for dog poo. The young lady who was preparing the brussels sprouts saw us making faces and came over to explain, we all had a great chuckle, she said that they were laughing at us in the back cause of the smell. We had a delicious espresso and brownie in the small seating area. What a good time.
Notorious place to visit when you come to NYC. I remember my daughter taking me to a location when I visited. They have grown since those old days. This location is my favorite.
Employees are friendly. Although the seating is limited if you are early you can get a stool at the counter. Coffee and pastry, quiche and items I purchase are comparatively priced to other places I frequent. You can buy just one cookie. I like that feature since too much of a good thing is not always good!! The full size cookies I enjoy are $2.75. I love peanut butter cookie.
I finally took a lot of photos to go along with my review. The place is huge. Anything your culinary heart desires. Plus souvenirs if you're from out of town!!
I highly recommend a visit.
Dean & Deluca is a chain in Manhattan and really epitomizes the Upper East Side. It's an extremely overpriced, gourmet grocery store. All of the food looks gorgeous and what I've had is extremely good too but very overpriced. That's minus 1 star. On the weekends, sometimes they have samples which is wonderful of course. Also, if you're debating what hot entrees to get, they'll sometimes give you samples too. It's also a good place to get coffee which isn't too overpriced and they have good baristas. The bakery looks amazing as well but I've just never had a reason to get anything from there. Dean & Deluca is the type of place that if you want an obscure type of oil that you can't find in your Trader Joe's or Gristede's like say truffle oil, you can come here and choose from one of 15 different truffle oils. This is typically the reason why I end up in here. Also, beware of just say grabbing a juice or soda here. You might accidentally pick up a $15 small bottle of juice when all you really wanted was a $2 tropicana orange juice. It's hard to find prices on things too so watch out. Their fruit and vegetables also look excellent and I've boughten some of them before but they really don't last long in the fridge so I'd recommend only buying things you plan on eating day of. Oh and minus 1 star because there's no bathroom here. Really, no bathroom!?
While exploring the Upper East Side, we wandered into Dean & Deluca. The storefront caught my eye and I knew I had to see what this place had to offer.
It's an upscale, gourmet market. They have a nice deli section, where they offer a variety of prepared foods, and impressive meat/seafood, baked goods, produce and floral sections. There's also an array of seasonings and vinegars, dressings, etc.
Dean & Deluca isn't cheap, but the three dollar signs told you that ($$$). It's worth it for quality. We made out with some cookies and some macaroni salad. Both were excellent!
Dean & Deluca is an Upper East Side gem!
