Delmonico NYC
“Best deli/grocer coffee I've had – which you can tell by their 4 coffee stations that are constantly packed.”
“The food is fresh and tasty, and the amount of seating between the few tables in the front and the larger seating area in the back is great.”
“best spot for a midtown lunch if you work near grand central.”

Fast, convenient, and reliable. Never had a bad experience. The bagels are ok but the omelette station is on point. Come after 4pm for half off the hot/cold bar.
Delmonico's is attached to my office building and there's even an entrance where you can enter without going outside. I've been once before to grab a quick coffee before work, but I've heard a bunch of mixed things from people in my office. It's definitely convenient, but wouldn't necessarily be my first choice.
Yesterday I decided I wanted a breakfast sandwich and figured I'd try it out. I went inside and the place was chaos. I found the area where eggs are made and waited. There was no form of line and everyone was standing around had to ask quite a few people if they had already ordered. I went ahead and went to the front ordered a bacon, egg and cheese. I figured that was the easiest thing because they were making a ton of them. A few minutes later other people ordered the same thing. The man serving gave them their sandwiches first and I went up and mentioned that I hadn't gotten mine. I finally got mine after many people had gotten theirs before me.
It was a bit pricey as well. The sandwich came to $4.30 and I believe that's more than most places. When I got upstairs after waiting quite awhile for the sandwich… There wasn't any cheese on the sandwich. I was very angry. The sandwich itself was decent, but this place needs to get it together. I'll be heading to the deli on the corner next time. Can't deal with this unorganized chaos in the morning.
The good: $2 large hot coffee & $2.25 large iced coffee will satisfy any coffee addict. They also have a variety of flavors, including Vanilla Almond and Blueberry.
The great: Half off ($5/lb instead of $10) buffet from 4-7pm is a godsend for anyone working late around the Grand Central area. They have a good mix of cold (salad type items) and hot (different protein options, including fish) selections.
The amazing: Delicious, giant $5 omelets (with the option of getting egg whites for those wanting to eat healthy) that will fill you up for the day.
There is a bit of a line here during the morning rush, but it moves fast due to their extreme efficiency. Also, their manager (owner?) is super friendly, so you can expect good convo as you're waiting. Extra plus for me – it's in my building 🙂
It's official I've become obsessed with this place, frequenting it a minimum of 3x a week. From the variety of options, to the service, to how FAST the employees hustle during the peak hours (just before work and during lunch, obviously), this upscale deli is AWESOME.
Paul is cool too, you can find him greeting everyone with a "Good Morning!" by the coffees. And speaking of the coffees…CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY FOR THE WIN! $2 bucks for the largest size. Oh, and they are on the Belly app, get points, get free shiznit.
It's in my office building, so it's my go-to on rainy or freezing days. But Everyday Gourmet across the street is actually better. But for their half-off-after-4pm deal, it's not a good deal. Not sure why there's been a growing number of recent high rated reviews for this place, but the place hasn't really changed much. The manager is lovely – greets everyone and is there to manage everyone efficiently. It's a zoo in there during lunch time, but the line moves quickly.
The hot buffet food isn't all that great – there's where Everyday Gourmet gets my vote. They do have a salad bar, sandwich, udon/ramen bar, cold/hot buffet areas, and two separate dining areas, but the price for e.g., udon is overpriced. I get it – the location, right? But I can't help comparing it to whatever's across the street and saying.. what about them?
I'd much rather pay an extra $1-2 per pound and go to 6b actually. One thing I'd like to see LESS is people nibbling at the buffet areas. Just last Friday, I was in line at around 4:30pm. There was that half-off rush and a huge line was formed. One guy in a black suit actually ate the entire box of food he got, threw it out, and left. What, are the rest of us idiots?
This place is great for those days that you're not sure what you want to eat.
The sandwiches caught my eye last week and I got the turkey pastrami sandwich.
I made the mistake of getting it on regular bread and it was not a sturdy-enough vessel for the meat. Will definitely go for a hero next time.
This is usually my first choice for lunch. Yes, a little pricey for some of the items but overall not bad and definitely great quality.
I highly recommend the udon noodle soup- it's huge and for only $7, you get udon, choice pf protein- beef, chicken, or shrimp, delicious (not for ppl watching sodium) broth, and all the veggies you can want including Kimchi.
Salad bar is delicious but expensive ( can be around 11-12$ for decent amount) and has all kinds of goodies from fresh capri salad to plain lettuce, and even sushi. Their sushi bar has quinoa sushi now!
I also recommend their chunky gazpacho soup, chicken burritos and sandwiches. You really can't go wrong!
This place has a lot of food stations and a hot/cold food buffet. I believe from 4-7 it is half off the hot food bar which is usually 9.99 a poundm. To be honest the food isn't anything special but if money is tight this is a great place. $5 minimum on cards.
