Edith's Sandwich Counter - Review - West Village - New York - The Infatuation

"Edith’s original location in Williamsburg is deservedly famous for their slushie iced coffee: a nutty, not-nearly-as-sweet-as-it-looks drink we order any day above 55 degrees. Their West Village spot on Charles Street is locked and loaded with a slushie machine, too, twirling caffeine from open until close. You still order at the counter, though this space is a bit larger than the first Edith's, and has the bonus of West Village charm—stained glass lamps, big windows, brick walls, and ’70s music playing over the speakers. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte Pause Unmute Like the original, most menu items include some form of Jewish cooking from around the world, like a latke egg and cheese or a good version of pastrami and chicken schnitzel. The real reason to go to Edith’s, though, is for breakfast served on malawach with a texture as flaky as roti or scallion pancake. Especially when paired with one of those coffee slushies, the Yemeni flatbread makes the strong case for Edith’s as a destination breakfast sandwich spot, no matter where you live in the city. Food Rundown Sephardi Breakfast Wrap Our favorite thing here by a long shot, and one of the best breakfast sandwiches in New York. The malawach holds together cheesy eggs, housemade alheira chicken sausage with strong cumin flavor, pickled fresno peppers, and harissa mayo. This is why you should go, and come back to Edith’s. photo credit: Kate Previte Iced Cafe Slushie When people say they want a “little treat,” we assume this is what they mean. It’s nutty from tahini and oatmilk, but still plenty bitter. photo credit: Kate Previte BEC&L You know when you order a McMuffin and a hashbrown at McDonalds and tuck your crispy fried potato into the steamed sandwich? This is better. Edith's crispy latke has a bit of browned onion flavor, the supremely gooey Cooper Sharp cheese tastes slightly less artificial than typical American, and the bacon is salty and fatty. The one thing about this sandwich that we aren’t wild about is the bagel, which is bit small for the amount of filling and dense. photo credit: Kate Previte Chicken Schnitzel Club This sandwich served on Texas toast-sized slices of griddled challah somehow doesn’t feel overwhelming, even with its crunchy bacon and bright, herby mayo. A solid choice. photo credit: Kate Previte The Edith This eponymous sandwich is Edith’s version of a reuben, with pastrami, sauerkraut, emmenthal cheese, and Edith’s special sauce on caraway-forward rye. It’s a perfectly fine version of the classic Jewish deli sandwich, but we wouldn’t go out of our way for it. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Will Hartman

"A Manhattan corner outpost of the Williamsburg sandwich counter serving the sandwiches, bagels, and signature tahini slushies that made the original notable, translating the casual, counter-service formula to a West Village footprint." - Emma Orlow

Elyssa Heller’s ‘Grub Street Diet’

"Opened in 2021 after starting as a pandemic pop-up, this Greenpoint shop is a personal, modern homage to classic New York appetizing counters and is run obsessively by its owner. Menu standouts include a frequently ordered chickpea-crunch wrap, a well-trimmed tuna melt served with multiple pickle spears, toasted Chicago-style everything bagels with plain cream cheese, and house-made latkes (with a strict policy that sandwiches that come with a latke cannot be ordered without one). Weekends are especially busy and the owner is deeply involved in daily service and kitchen oversight." - Gaby Grossman, Ryan Inzana

4.5*s The Sephardi breakfast wrap is fantastic. The flakey malawach, the fluffy cheesy scrambled eggs, savory Alheira chicken sausage, zingy pickled Fresno peppers, and herby harissa mayo with a touch of spice. The latke was crispy and fun but missing something flavor wise. The iced coffee slushy was not too sweet, but I wanted more flavor or a bigger caffeine boost. Probably much better when it's warm out than when I had it and was fighting the winter winds. Staff was fun and friendly in the tight space. People please eat and go when there's people waiting! Just based on the Sephardi wrap I would totally come back to try all their other popular items; BEC&L, chicken tahini caesar wrap, The Edith pastrami etc.

Great bagel sandwich with fluffy egg omelette, crispy latkes, and bacon. I ordered totkes for sides. A bit pricey for the total but the portions are good. I love the iced cafe slushie. 맥심 커피 슬러시 같아요. It tastes like the Korean maxim coffee made into a slushie.

My favorite breakfast sandwich in the city. The flatbread is always on point. All ingredients are top notch and their cookies (I’m not a sweets person too) are to die for. They are super thin and come in pairs. Perfect caramelization on edges.

I've had pastrami sandwiches at many different places throughout the years, and it's always tons of pastrami on rye bread with mustard. The Pastrami Chopped Cheese from Edith's is completely different and in a very good way! The pastrami is chopped up with melty cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. One bite and I was in love!!! I can't wait to go back and try some other things. The staff is warm and friendly too!

Tahini coffee slushy was so good! The texture and flavor were incredible. I also got a bacon egg cheese and latke sandwich on a bagel, which was good (sufficient bacon and cheese, lightly crispy latke) but the bagel itself was my least favorite part. The sauce included was super flavorful and mandatory flavor-wise. Prices are high, but the quality is very good overall. Despite a 30 min wait for our sandwiches, still recommended!

My company caters one lunch a week, and this week's treat was Edith's. Pretty beast. They were all cut in halves, which was clutch as I could try a couple. Nothing wrong with trying everything on the menu, word to Charlie Sheen. I went with a half pastrami and a half turkey sandwich. Pastrami was solid, but not touching Katz. I've never had a pastrami sandwich comparable to the OG. Turkey one was delectable though. If I had to do it over again, I would have just done a whole turkey sandwich. Hindsight is always 20/20 though, can't beat yourself up. I already do that enough. After demolishing both, the chicken cutlet sandwich was also looking at me CRAZY, but I've eaten enough office lunches to know that overeating will absolutely take me out for the 2nd half of the day and I needed to be productive. I'm a veteran of the game. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

This place is known for their sandwiches, so I went in without expecting much. I picked two that looked decent from the menu photos—turns out, they were both bacon, egg, and cheese. They come with a latke inside, which adds a great crispy texture to the soft, egg-heavy roll. The toasted bagel sandwich really stood out—the bagel itself was fantastic. It had that perfect mix of fluffy and crunchy, with just a hint of heat that gave it a kick. Honestly, it might be one of the best bacon, egg, and cheese bagels I’ve had in NYC.

First time here and I ordered a BLT. Ended up being more of a tomato sandwich than a BLT. Heavy emphasis on the T in BLT. The sandwich has three strips of small bacon in the entire thing and was all tomato for $17. Extremely disappointed. I’m sure the other sandwiches are better but I would not recommend the BLT unless you want a TOMATO sandwich. The flavor was fine, slow service as well.
