Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaJuly 18, 2016You can't go wrong with the food from here It is pretty awesome The cakes and pastries are so good We also tried their chicken noodle soup and it was such a good. We have to try their other menu items
- Best deli in town! They have the best matzo ball soup and eggs benedict. They also have a wide variety of pastries and desserts. This is d only place where I buy challah bread, knish & chopped liver.Upvoted Mar 26
- Kurt MillerOctober 25, 2015Excellent bakery, deli, and restaurant! The sandwiches are a meal in themselves, so be prepared. The bread is baked fresh, the meat is lean and tender, and everything is made with fresh ingredients.
DmarieNovember 10, 2014The best pastrami and corned beef around- hands down! You'll love the supreme roast beef melt - to die for - awesome! Great food great prices and service with a smile - doesn't get better than that!
Audrey GallantFebruary 13, 2015Been coming here since it was built. I love it. This is my go to bakery. Weddings, ALL HOLIDAYS and whenever family is in town. The very best Black and White's!!! Try them.- This place has a full bakery and restaurant. I usually come for the Monte Cristo sandwich. They make it right which is non-greasy from the frying. All their sandwiches are big which means leftovers:)
Rachel RebeccaMarch 12, 2017service is better over at the restaurant, because they're a little friendlier. I had there Sandabs, which was flavorful, creamy, and full of ingredients. Their mashed potatoes was creamy and delicious
Chris CegielskiJuly 20, 2019The menu is extensive so you may need a few minutes to narrow down your selection. Save room for dessert!
Kelley L.November 15, 2019Their steak frites was tasty and a good portion for lunch. It is very generous with garlic.
Jules BeuckApril 22, 2013The bakery has the BEST bagels. If they are real busy sit at the counter. You will get seated quicker and the service is a bit better. I love the corned beef.
Mea EliseJune 3, 2014Food is yummy and reasonably priced, but done plan to sit at the counter and have a quick quiet meal. The regulars are friendly and a little too chatty for my liking.
Trevor WalkerJune 7, 2015Love all the traditional Jewish deli food, but surprisingly, the golden fried chicken is also outstanding
g oconnorApril 20, 2015The Halavah with pistachios (none of that Chocolate covered aberration) from the Deli is fantastic. Great baked goods and some nice fish.
Marek MineckiFebruary 8, 2015Got to be one of the better old school New York style delis in SoCal especially outside of LA. Restaurant and bakery are classic...- g oconnorApril 20, 2015This ex pat New Yorker loves the authentic sandwiches, and the chopped chicken liver is the best this side of Katz's.
Nick PagliochiniOctober 30, 2011Agreed w/ some of the other "tips" that service is hit or miss, but it is definitely nostalgic and a great place to take the family and the bakery can't be beat!!!
Dee LiciousApril 14, 2013Zucchini muffin is delish! First time here and it filled me up. Ordered the breakfast quesadilla and its enough for 2 people
David ASeptember 23, 2013Excellent pastrami and cole slaw sandwich, as always. Be sure to pick up some bakery treats to go.

Christina VeraJune 17, 2012Love it here, however, our last three visits have not been enjoyable. No wait for table BUT, food takes forever
Nana KimDecember 8, 2011Stop by the bakery. Love their cookies, bagel chips, cheese Danish, and their affordable macaroons!
Natasha TonsfeldtApril 22, 2012Try the hot turkey sandwich. Tastes just like it was made at home! Have it with the stuffing.
Phil RojoJanuary 7, 2015They play great music during the weekday morning (don't know about the weekends). Moressey, Aidele, Oasis.
It's November! Try the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Coffee and the Pumpkin Pie Martini. Yum!
GnarlsJanuary 16, 2013If you arrive around 11:30, be prepared to wait 20-25 minutes... and have a good laugh as the lady at the counter tells everyone arriving that there is just a 10 minute wait.
The large and small pecan sticky buns are both spectacular, and y
