Delectica

Cute little coffee shop with a great assortment of food and they have good coffee! Agree with others, there is very limited seating so both times I’ve just done grab and go. My first time here I had the shashuka to go, which I would recommend having in restaurant, to go it was a bit too tomato soup-y for my taste, but had good flavor. Yesterday I had a mocha to go and that was great. Want to go back to try their olive oil cake, haven’t seen it in a while but one of their baristas highly recommended it last time!

Definition of a New York hidden gem, for a fast cheap and amazing quality breakfast. They have a unique menu, good service, and small seating area so good for takeout

The drip coffee tastes like rich, aromatic, dark roast ... I wanted seconds. The tuna sandwich came with an olive spread, a sliced hard boiled egg and fixings on ciabatta roll. Moist, fresh and delish. Came w a small spinach salad. Love.

This is near my office, so I used to get food here a lot, but it takes FOREVER (nobody from my office will even go anymore due to the wait). Today, I was basically the only person there and, after waiting 15 minutes for a cold sandwich, asked how much longer and asked why it always takes so long. The owner heard this and, instead of apologizing for the poor service, told me that I was insulting his business and threw me out. Mind you, I didn't raise my voice, curse or act rudely. The reaction was completely unprofessional and uncalled for. The food is above average, but they have lost a customer.

Great food. Great service. Great prices. Not a divey bodega nor a modern overpriced/over-hyped trendy bakery. Just good food at a good price served by helpful and polite staff.

Great selection of breakfast food. Sandwich bun to choose from: three types. Fast service. Good taste, people working there don't regret the products. I recommend. I will visit again!

I just had the best salmon, avocado and arugula sandwich on 9 grain bread. It was fresh and delicious and I can't wait to go back there. I would like to try their shakshuka and Israeli breakfast. Everything looks so fresh and tasted delicious. Prices are very reasonable for real quality. Yummy!!

Little cafe down the steps with outside seating area. Great selection of breakfast including shashuska, sandwiches, and pastries. Coffee machine for quick stop in the morning.

It's always healthy. Top ingredients. Love the salads and sandwiches. Clean space. Friendly staff.

I have eaten here many times and the food is delicious but today I had an experience with an obnoxious manager so hope everything goes well because their Customer Service at higher levels leave something to be desired

First time going. Nice service. Clean sitting area. Israeli breakfast with omelette was very good. Would recommend it. I Will plan to go back

My sandwich had no avocado, they were almost out of everything!the service was okay but could be improved. Ambiance was nicer than the rest of the place.

Not as good as it was 5 years. Just had the chicken salad sandwich and the tuna and the bread was so dry. Bring back the Eli's bread. Always very skimpy on the tuna and chicken salad portions. The soup was good though. I guess with rising rents and inflation things what happens.

Nice place for dine in or take out. They have maybe 4-5 tables with 10-12 total seats. 2 people in my party got the shakshuka and 1 person got some sort of salmon bowl.

Go-to sandwich spot for me. I always get their salmon sandwich on toasted ciabatta and add their black olive spread. And side of cauliflower with tahini dressing. They do a lunch special of any 1/2 sandwich and one side, but their food is so good that I usually end up with a whole sandwich and a side. They have a selection of baked goods available too. Everything I've had here has been a hit.

Such a wonderful place to stop for a bite! Avo toast was absolutely delicious! Apricot pastry was yummy as well!

Unique flavors, expertly prepared. Only weakness is the coffee, which is not as good as the food, probably on par with the local diner fare.

Unexpected gem! The other reviewers made me give this place a try, and I was not disappointed. Super fresh, flavorful food (loved the homemade shashuka) and good coffee, too. Prices are very reasonable, and fun people watching. I will be back!

I've gotten a Sandwich which is my absolute favorite of theirs on multiple occasions. Once with the 7-grain bread and once with Ciabatta, and it comes stuffed with Arugula, Fig Jam, Sun-dried Tomato, Brie Cheese and is finished off with a Balsamic Glaze inside. I absolutely love the flavor bomb within this perfectly subtly-sweet, savory and tart sandwich with all the right textures in place while not being overpowering in any context. I've tried to replicate it at home as well since I'm obsessed with the flavor combo and it's always been a success. Other items I've tried: Blueberry scone and their side of Sweet Potatoes. Both were great purchases too

The food from the photos looked pretty good so I biked from the ferry over there, as soon as I got inside they said they open at 8 AM. But on Yelp and Google Maps it says 7 AM on weekdays (Today is Friday), when I left it was pouring outside. I got drenched and had to wait in the rain for the bus since no other places were open.

Small little shop that serves all your typical lunch items. They make certain items fresh that they display in the case. The sandwiches and salads are always my go to. Don't plan to dine in since there are only 2 little tables. Love getting takeout and they do a nice job of making fresh delicious food.

Walking down and being so hungry after 3:30 pm was time for lunch, you see, I don't do lunch unless I am hungry. I guess that's what help me to not be overweight and eat anything I want. I saw this kind of lower level of the sidewalk restaurant and it seemed cozy and good to try. The Salami sandwich on grain bread was delicious, I got it with Avocado with and extra charge of course. The down side was, it was too small for me. I like huge sandwiches that satisfy my hunger and don't let me feeling like I need more, like the sandwiches I get in Brooklyn, a bit pricier but they are huge. Americano Coffee is made here, a bit too strong for me, and I had no choice because the regular coffee was sold out.

Enjoy the fig and Brie sandwich! Went back 2x! Also, it was great they gave me free coffee for Mother's Day!

Stopped here for a quick breakfast this morning and I was very pleased with the service. I got the shakshuka and it came with a basket of toasted bread. The shakshuka was absolutely delicious and I loved the Israeli Salad on the side. I highly recommend this little gem. I'll try to stop by here again when I visit NYC.

Best sandwich ever? No. Good Lunch stop if your in the area? Sure. I got the avocado sandwich that comes Avocado fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I warn you, do not, I repeat do not get it with sun dried tomatoes. It is not a good combination, the tomato kills the avocados fresh taste. If instead of avocado it was chicken it would be a good combo but with avocado its not! Other than that it was good, and I would go back and try it without the sun dried tomato. They load it with arugula so if your not a fan of arugula don't get it, or leave it out. The bread ciabatta or Baguette is really good and toasty!

That's what I call a winner breakfast! Absolutely love the breakfast items from delectica. The breakfast sandwiches and eggs are awesome! I tried the Israeli breakfast plate and loved how fresh everything was! The eggs were made just how I like them (you can get them made in any style) with generous amounts of cheese slices and avocado. We also the Chipotle mayo, eggs,avocado and tomato sandwich both items come with a basket of fresh breads. Must try!

The avocado toast was fine and as expected. Hello. It's avocado with toast and some seasoning. But they did season it and they get cred for that. The coffee was kinda awful. Go there for lunch. But stop into anywhere else for coffee. I had missed breakfast. Wanted to get a shakshuka, but they wouldn't make it for me since if wAs 10 minutes after the offish lunch time. Fine. Be that way. I'd go back if I needed a quick bite in the hood. 3 stars means it's fine. And that's what it was..fine.

Came here for mealpal. The tuna bowl from mealpal came with a cucumber tomato salad that was really fresh and still crispy. The tuna salad was seasoned well and mixed with what I'm guessing is light mayo for a soft consistency. Also got a Capri sandwich and a croissant for my friend. I was told the sandwich was good with nice crispy bread, and the croissant didn't make it into my takeout bag, but oh well. They have a lot of other interesting salads and sides to try, so I'm sure I will make it back to try some other things. I'll make sure I check my bag before I walk out though.

This unassuming cafe is really first rate. The food is always tasty and you can see it being made in front of you. The service is always friendly.

I ordered online for pick-up to save time during a busy day at the office. I got there at the estimated ready time (15 mins later) and, to my frustration, they had not even started on the order. I ended up standing there for 10 mins while every customer standing in line, including everyone that arrived after me while I was waiting, left with their food. When I finally got my order, I was the only person there. They handed me my food without so much as an apology and I walked away regretting my decision to order from here. When I got back to my office, I found that my soup was ice cold. Instead of giving me hot fresh soup like everyone else, they grabbed a pre-packaged soup out of the refrigerator and bagged it. Obviously, it was not freshly made but leftover from at least a day prior and refrigerated. Very upsetting experience.

Went on seamless looking for a truly healthy and fresh meal. Came across Delectica and gave the tuna salad bowl with grilled veggies and chipotle vinaigrette on the side and man it was good! Can honestly taste that it was freshly made. Also ordered the strawberry smoothie which was good (not amazing) but no complaints. The food came quickly, tasted good, and was reasonably priced. Will absolutely order here again!

Paid over $4 for watery oatmeal and they only gave me a tiny scoop of blueberries, dried figs and "salted" walnuts that aren't actually salted. It was the saddest thing. If you're going to skimp on the ingredients, at least fill my oatmeal to the top. I don't know how other yelpers got so lucky.

Unassuming little deli that delivers. I mean delivers the goods, as in the food is great. Whether they physically deliver, I can't say because we picked up. Five sandwiches, all superb. Fresh ingredients, lots of good choices and friendly staff.

I love this place. Small, clean, good fresh food & service with a smile. Seating inside & out & open on weekends. Becoming my go to for an inexpensive meal when i want to sit down or get food during lunchtime @ work. Its inviting & the noise level is moderate to low.

What a great breakfast spot! On a recent trip to Manhattan, my wife and I found this place on Yelp and stopped in for breakfast. It was outstanding! We each had an omelette sandwich. Mine was the #2 with goat cheese and my wife had the #1 with cream cheese. Both were very good. As good as the sandwiches were, the coffee was even better! Would definitely recommend if you're on the East Side to stop at Delectica for breakfast!

Ordered breakfast catering from Delectica this morning and the food was perfect. Sagi helped me place the order only ~16hrs before our meeting and the process was executed very quickly. Ordered an assortment of the sliced fresh fruit, avocado toast, hard boiled egg sandwiches, and mini bagels with smoked salmon. Everything was great, but wanted to call-out the avocado toast. Super fresh ingredients, generous portions of avocado, and great flavors. To top it off, the order was considerably cheaper than other catering orders I've placed in the past. Will definitely look to order catering from Delectica in the near future! Awesome food and service.

Unique Israeli menu items and very fresh. I got the shakshouka and will come to try one of their omelets.

Amazing. Was just walking and popped in and grabbed a blueberry scone 10/10. Will be back!

I ordered the Israeli breakfast which had an amazing selection of food such as herbed egg omlette, fresh baked bread with Cabot butter or whipped cream cheese and fresh avacado. My favorite was the freshly squeezed orange juice. People who serve concentrate are automatically deducted one star. My partner ordered a fresh bagel egg sandwich. In NYC, you are always surrounded by food, but not always original food, or food that is worth what you paid for. We also eat primarily vegetarian so this was the perfect amount of fresh food in a friendly restaraunt. I am glad I tried something new and would go back for the under $11 breakfast deal. Looking for coffee? Walk up the street to Perk!

We actually checked this place out a while ago but walked straight out because there wasn't anything that took our fancy. That should give you some insight that this isn't really my cup of tea - so bear that in mind. Because we live so close and it's well reviewed we thought we would have to check it out. Funnily enough, while we were in there some other potential customers did the same. It's very minimalistic - there are two rows of tables for two inside and another row outside. You can of course move the tables together if you are in a bigger group. I would say the menu is "healthy". There are dishes with avocado, a lot of things are marked as "fresh" and there's not a lot of meat - this is probably why we left the last time. I opted for a sort of platter that came with a herb or plain omelet (or just eggs), cheese, cucumber salad, avocado, some bread and either juice or coffee - healthy, right? It was pretty good but I was definitely still hungry/a bit meh. This is where it's important to consider that it's not my kinda place - I'm sure others would love this. My wife had some sort of Brie grilled cheese - she was also a bit meh and didn't even eat her salad. What was good was that the service was polite and the coffee that I ordered in addition to my meal was huge and in an actual mug. I would probably go there just for a coffee tbh.

Ordered the egg cheese croissant and the turkey club sandwich, both with chipotle mayo added. The sandwiches were freshly made and tasteful. The fresh squeeze orange juice were nice additions to the meal. A bit on the pricer side for breakfast/light lunch. The only other con is the crossiant was kind of small.

solid cafe that is a notch above the average deli in terms of sandwiches. give them a look if in midtown east.

I love love this place. Used to work nearby and now I order home. Super healthy, yet delicious. I can recommend many things, but the top are: - Grilled chicken breast salad - Baked salmon salad (if they have) - Gazpacho soup - Pesto chicken sandwich - Prosciutto sandwich Tip: get their sandwiches on whole grain bread, it it delightful! I love the salads come with 2 or 3 sides of your choosing which are really fresh and delicious. The baked cauliflower is my favorite. Then the Israeli salad and hummus One thing I would ask them is to change the menu on Seamless if they don't have baked salmon on weekends. Also, would be nice to have an acai bowl. We ordered the acai smoothie, but everything is blended together and I prefer granola as a topping instead of mixed.

This is hands down my favorite breakfast in Murray Hill. I've been coming in on weekends for a couple years since I found this gem and I have never been disappointed. I typically order the shakshuka plate and it tastes just as it does in Israel. The Israeli salad on the side is always fresh and also true to its origin. It's super healthy and hearty so it always holds me over for a long time. It also comes with a coffee or juice. I usually go for coffee but if you're a juice person I highly recommend the orange juice. It's freshly squeezed and for some reason it's just so extra good. I do wish they had a gluten free bread option. I recently had to cut gluten from my diet which also means I can't have their breakfast sandwiches anymore. In the past I really enjoyed their egg and avocado sandwich. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. It is small though and can be difficult to find a table at peak hours so plan accordingly.

Went in on a Friday morning and it wasn't busy. The ladies behind the counter were super nice and helpful. Ended up getting the smoked salmon sandwich and the hangover helper juice. While the sandwich was tasty and everything was super fresh, it was pretty small (like just a little bit over the size of your hand). If you are super hungry, this will not fill you up. Plus at $8.5 it does run a bit expensive. However, I love a good independent cafe and understand that prices may need to be higher as a result. The juice was what you expected - so nothing crazy here ($4.5 for a small) Their lunch does look really nice and it seems like lots of items are homemade! I would definitely come back here to try more (rotating soups, fresh sandwiches, bakery items!).

Healthy lunch spot Fresh veggies and fish They serve sandwiches and Bowls I like the veggie bowl or the salmon bowl, they offer a few options. Veggie comes with three sides and salmon bowl comes with two sides They have seating inside and outside.

We stopped here on our way out of NYC. It was early and we needed something for the road trip home: #2 and #4 omelette sandwich, a roasted veggie gourmet sandwich, and one prosciutto gourmet sandwich but we mistakenly got a goat cheese gourmet sandwich. It was good nonetheless - all the sandwiches were tasty. Although the wait while they prepared the sandwiches wasn't long, we also upped the order and got several mini palmier cookies, brownie bites, chocolate chip cookies, coffee, and (pluppy) OJ - all good! Service was quick, prices were decent.

This is my go-to breakfast place when I get tired of the unhealthy bacon, egg and cheese sandwich that I usually get. My favorite breakfast items are oatmeal (water-based) with 3 toppings and omelette sandwich with tomatoes, avocado and chipotle mayo. For the oatmeal, I usually get it with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries (fruit toppings are seasonal), but they have a variety of toppings for you to choose from. Their water based oatmeal is always lava hot, not lukewarm like some other breakfast places. When I get breakfast here, I would always get their omelette sandwich with tomatoes, hass avocado and chipotle mayo. Like any of their omelette sandwiches, you can choose either 7-grain bread or brioche. I recommend getting it on 7-grain bread, the texture and taste are much better. They are generous with the amount of avocado they put in this sandwich which I like :). The taste of the sandwich is really good. The only issue is that they get busy during breakfast time especially on the weekends. So make sure you get there or order online earlier. One time I ordered though delivery.com at 10am on a Sunday, it ended up taking them about 1.5 hours to deliver the food order. I certainly understand that it's because they are busy and that's a good sign. I can't wait to try their other breakfast items when I feel adventurous. For now, I am happy with my oatmeal and omelette sandwich :)

Cute, clean, and sunny little cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for a quick breakfast/brunch. I ordered online for pickup (via Yelp), which was out in less than 10 min. Their $7 omelette sandwiches are so good! I got the #2 with 7 grain bread, goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, tomato...yum. A bit too much goat cheese for me but still a great mix of flavors - especially with avocado (which I added for $1, would recommend!).

Great local spot good for breakfast or lunch. The food is always delicious and the drip coffee is one of the best in the area! Some of my favorites include shakshuka, Israeli breakfast (it's a big plate, beware!), breakfast sandwiches and salmon avocado toast.

They've a great spot that I grab lunch from all of the time. I love their sandwich with the mozzarella, prosciutto, red peppers, tomatoes and basil. It's a favorite of mine. There is seating inside and out. I usually have it delivered lately.

I really wanted to love this place and had had it bookmarked to visit for brunch. However, on a Sunday at 1pm, we were told that we could not order certain items off the breakfast menu, despite the menu stating that they served on weekends until 3pm. Staff did not seem to understand what we were saying and told us that breakfast ends at 11am. This first visit, I did not stay or order anything. I then returned a few weeks later (before 11am) for coffee and a sandwich. They have a decent menu but it still felt limited in terms of breakfast items. I hope to return to try some of their juice as the prices are better than other NYC establishments. My coffee was good and not too weak and I had a Prosciutto and Harvati croissant, which was delicious. I will give this place another try and hope that they can win back my adoration.

This has been a favorite lunch spot for my coworkers and I so when it came to planning an event for 100+ people we figured we'd have them cater, and the experience could not have been better! The owner went above and beyond by taking a hands on approach throughout the whole process to ensure both the food and display were perfect. Not only was the food better than what you'd expect from your average caterer, but the attention to detail and planning that went into the order exceeded all expectations. From the initial tasting to align on the ideal menu, to the 8 man team that set everything up the day of the event, Delectica exerted the perfect balance of professionalism and sincerity to get the job done. Delectica is more than just your corner cafe. We'd totally work with them again.

Walked out of my way to stop here before hopping on the Jitney for the weekend. Whenever avocado toast is on the menu, it's hard to turn away. Plus their ratings were great, so it seemed too good to pass up. But damn. Bland. Boring. No flavor. I didn't enjoy it even in the slightest. My latte was good. Perhaps it's more of a coffee and pastry spot. Regardless, it was disappointing.

I'm typing this as I eat my breakfast here for the second day in a row. If I lived here, I could eat here every day. That's really not an exaggeration. The food is fresh. The menu is simple yet well-executed. The coffee is good, the OJ is excellent. If you're on a paleo or primal diet, this is the place for you. In all fairness, I did not try lunch here, so I can't comment other than to say that it looked excellent in other peoples' dishes. Enjoy!

Been there twice so far. First time I had the goat cheese omelette and it came with coffee, a side salad and a basket of grilled bread slices, butter and strawberry preserves. Everything was awesome! Coffee is really good. Second visit I had the Shakshuka eggs which is eggs cooked with stewed tomatoes, topped with spinach and goat cheese. Came with breads again, coffee and Israeli salad. Again everything was good, I just didn't like the Israeli salad (chopped up cucumbers, tomatoes etc...) with breakfast.

Sweet, clean and quick service. A bit of confusion with the woman at the till but otherwise a smooth breakfast! Food was delicious, with a twist. Gorgeous fresh orange and amazing coffee. Nice little water station which seems they switch around the type of fruit they pop in, which I love! Definitely pop by if it's in your neighbourhood!
