David’s Deli

Food is great. Both breakfast and sandwiches. However the cook is extra rude. The african american guy to be exact. The only way i can describe him since i didnt care to further ask him anything. He has a nasty smartmouth attitude everytime i have been there. Who knows if he miserable with his job or life in general but he should definitely be doing something else. I expressed the dissatisfaction just for the cashier to try to inform me «oh hes new im sorry»… Not that that should even matter but i responded with a «no mam he most definitely is not new because he had that same funky little attitude when i was here a few weeks ago but thank you. She was very friendly but i would have to rate it bad service good food.

Dear holly w who are you yo judge me yes iam thr girl behind the cash register what you said really hurt my feelings maybe if you don’t like what your looking at maybe you should not evercome back the rest of my customers love me for who I am have fun at als deli.

A regular customer, I’m usually here at least 3 times/​week getting either breakfast or a lunch sandwich. There’s not a huge menu, but it’s appropriate for the deli’s size. I’m a particular fan of the breakfast wrap, which… at $ 3.99. is a better deal than Subway’s breakfast flat AND it’s a lot bigger. Lunch sandwiches range from $ 5 – 7 depending, but I’ve never been dissatisfied with anything I’ve ordered. Prices are consistent with real delis in the downtown area.
Staff seems efficient with their use of time and counter space. The only times I have to wait longer than 5 min is when there’s lots of people in line, which can happen at any breakfast or lunch rush. Every time I’m in there, either Freda or Jerry (the male cook) is always wiping or mopping if it isn’t crowded. They also seem sanitary; I’ve never seen either of them not wear gloves while preparing or serving food. How they serve their in-​house customers and prepare occasional catering orders is beyond me. A very effective team.
Above all, staff is always courteous to me. Often they crack jokes as I wait for my breakfast wrap to come out of the toaster/​grill. Their kindness isn’t lacking, either. Once during a sub-​zero cold snap this recent winter, there was a homeless guy in the deli getting some coffee. He was keeping to himself, not bothering other customers. avoiding them, actually. I saw Freda dash into the back room and come out with some pink gloves that someone had left. She walked over, handed them to him, and said…“They’re not much, and they’re pink… but when it’s below zero they’ll help with frostbite.” That’s the kindness and customer service I appreciate seeing.

Decent food. Overpriced and I found the staff to be very rude. The lady with three teeth it works the register is especially nasty. i’ve seen them drop dirty dish towels on sandwiches and they don’t really wear gloves. That being said the turkey chili is good. If you want great deli food just go across the street to Al’s deli — it’s amazing.

The real deal in downtown Cleveland.
Good sandwiches, quesadillas and fries, fast and friendly people, good prices. What more could you want for lunch? Rock and Roll!

I’ve gone here a few times for lunch during the workday.
Great sandwiches, salad bar is good. Good selection of greens and toppings.
The guy who makes the sandwiches is well suited for the pace of the job, keeps track of multiple sandwich orders while he’s toasting, slicing, spreading, stacking, and passing. And keeps up a good conversation about sports teams.
I usually dine in and watch the (few) Cleveland pedestrians.
Hard to find the entrance. It’s around the corner from where it says «David’s Deli» in gold letters on the glass. I don’t think that window even touches the restaurant.

This was my second trip to David’s deli. It’s located on the corner of 12^th and Superior in the Eaton Center building. It’s a little hard to find the actual entrance which is either through the building or on E 12^th. Great little place for a sandwich or a bagel for breakfast. This morning I had the everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. The bagel was very good, which is surprising because it’s tough to find a good bagel in Cleveland. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and they can accommodate any kind of special order you may have (I added tomatoes and onions to it) Atmosphere is nothing great, but I took it to go. Prices are reasonable and they have free wifi. The baked goods look delicious, but I didn’t have any.
