Coffee is delicious here!! Sometimes the lines are a little long sometimes but the wait is worth it.
The croissants are delicious !
They have a lot of different products to purchase. Particularly for making mixed drinks. Like ginger beer, spiced old fashioned mix etc.
The cheese section makes me so hungry even when I'm full!
Wow, the almond croissant i had was delicious as hell!!! I wanted to get one of everything. I will be back to try them sandwiches. Very nice place to get breakfast lunch or a coffee and a snack.
The space itself is very nice, the service was very good, however, I don't really understand the hype. The sandwich I got (the #4 w/turkey), was good, but for the price, it didn't blow my mind. The flavors were very good, but I found the fillings to be a bit sparse, the wait a bit too long, and the price a bit too high.
A grocery that carries White Mustache yogurt and Short Stack Editions is a dream. One that serves coffee and sandwiches, too, is even better. I only wish that I could take Depanneur and transplant it in Chicago.
DePanneur is a small corner store that has a lot to pack in. If you are seeking local artisan – mostly Brooklyn-made – food, then look no further. From Owl's Brew mixers, to Mast Brothers chocolate and many other local foods, DePanneur has much to offer.
But, they aren't just a market. They offer a full coffee bar, including espresso, coffee, mochas and more, and a full selection of decadent sandwiches. The sandwiches aren't just thrown together and take time to make, so if you can, order in advance on Seamless (when you get there, you can skip the line to pick up and go).
Try the #4 Turkey Sandwich on Multi-Grain (you have to request it). That's our usual and unless there's a special of the day that looks appetizing, I rarely steer away from it. If you're looking for the sandwich special, it's on their Facebook page. They also carry a daily variety of soups so definitely stop by if you're in the neighborhood.
Regular sandwiches get a makeover at Depanneur. Do you want ham? How about rosemary ham with caramelized onions and dijon mustard? You get my point. There is a reason you pay the extra $4-5 dollars for a sandwich.
I have also had their morning pastries. Holy cow! That is a flaky, buttery croissant. I binged on those for a couple weeks back last winter but weaned myself off of them.
Coffee is expensive. Is it worth it? I'd rather splurge on a sandwich.
I always wanted to find a place where I could buy a la carte laundry detergent! While I do find some of the items they sell ridiculous and ridiculously overpriced, I get it, it's Brooklyn. You're going to pay a little extra for the location and the quality of the food they are serving. I must say that the cheese selection was very impressive for a small corner store away from 6th and all the craziness of that area.
The coffee is solid. I've had a few of the breakfast pastries and they have been pretty good as well. Small but high quality to-go beer selection in the coolers towards the back.
The staff is generally friendly.
Overall this place is A-Ok. I wouldn't do my regular shopping here, but it's nice if you need something in a pinch or want to treat yourself.
A friend visiting from London was majorly craving a deli sandwich – apparently those are hard to find across the pond. But instead of taking our chances on a sketchy bodega, we decided to class it up a bit and go to this fancy version of a corner store.
Before noon on a Saturday there was already a long line winding down the store of people wanting these delicious sandos. I got the turkey and the roast beef to share with my husband, and I have to say that I wish I got two turkeys because it was SO good!
But there's much more to this place than sandwiches. They have every fancy food item you never knew you wanted: upscale Bloody Mary mix, designer chocolates, and beautiful pastries behind the counter.
The one downside was the cranky guy manning the espresso machine who barked at us to step away from him (even though there was a counter separating us) as we were waiting for our orders. That, and the sandwiches took a long time to make, though I don't truly blame them for that because like I said it was a very busy day. Small detractions from an otherwise pleasant and very delicious experience.
