Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli

On a friend’s recommendation, I stopped in to grab breakfast on my way to hike the Towpath Trail. As I approached the front door, I saw the sign out front advertising «Susie’s Breakfast Burrito!» As a sucker for all breakfast foods in wrap-​form, I walked in, took a gander at the menu to see what I would be getting in my sweet bundle of breakfasty goodness.
Susie’s Breakfast Burrito contains the following: scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, or sausage, potatoes, green chili, wrapped in a flour tortilla. Sounds great!
The deli-​man was really nice as I placed my order: «1 breakfast burrito, no meat, (I went meatless on Mondays for a year on a dare. Stupid idea.) and extra potatoes, please!»
What followed was straight out of Monty Python’s «Cheese Shop» skit.
Deli-​man: «Just so you know… we don’t have any green chili today.»
Me: «Not a problem. Just egg, cheese and extra potatoes will be great.»
Deli-​man: «Um, yah… just so you know… we’re also out of potatoes.»
Me: (somewhat confused) «OK…how about egg and cheese with avocado and tomato in a tortilla?»
Deli-​man: «Um…we’re out of tortillas.»
Me: «Ah! Egg and cheese croissant, please.»
The sandwich was good. The croissant was lightly toasted, buttery and flaky, as it should be, and the eggs were tasty.
I’ll give Heidi’s another try. Hopefully Michael Palin and John Cleese won’t be behind the counter. Or if they are, I hope it’s «The Spanish Inquisition.» NOOOOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!

This place is over priced for how much food you get. The bread might be fresh and home made, but you only get a sliver of it for your sandwiches. I got the veggie sandwich, and it was mediocre at best. I also bought a piece of chocolate cake because someone raved about it in their review, and it was quite possibly the worst piece of chocolate cake I have ever had in my life. It was so dry. Their was only one piece left on the counter, and I was there at lunch time. So I would love to know how long this piece of cake was sitting out. It was probably left over from what wasn’t sold the day before, and it was $ 4.50 for a little piece. I would not go back to this place.

Been here a couple times now, and still am not impressed. The prices are definitely Brooklyn, but there’s not a lot going on there as far as quality meats, breads, or sides. The tortilla soup I had was one of the worst I have ever tried. Not on my list of places I would go back to. DiBellas opening up across the street could spell disaster for this place unless they pick up the ball.

I just want to say that after multiple visits to Heidi’s, it’s been consistently good. Their bread is really, REALLY great. I’ve had sourdough, pumpernickel, and rye, and it’s got a soft, doughy texture, almost like a (really well-​made) bagel.
Also, the woman who works there is so nice! She always asks about my family when I go in. Yesterday, it was pouring, and I ordered a lot of food to go. She said I should bring my car around (since I also had the baby) and she ran out to put the box into my car. Really thoughtful!
Finally: their chocolate cake is the bomb. I think they put almond extract in it or something. It’s really top-​notch, for those who love sweet fudge cake like I do.

3 of 4 previous reviews made sure to mention one key component of this menu– avocado. It makes quite an impression on people i guess. On me, meh…
The wife was at the dentist getting mangled, so i popped over to the deli after a dog walk at the Ohio Erie canal park (BOOOOORING…) I was totally in the mood for a breakfast burrito or some sort of eggy sandwich. But as an almost vegetarian of many years, my brain is hardwired to respond to the «veggie» option. Even if it’s not what i went in for.
Ordered the veg croissant. No croissants. Okay, how about a bagel? Done. It had AVOCADO (very creamy to the point of being liquid), cream cheese, sprouts, tomato and a sort of zippy hot sauce. A real mess to eat, but marginally tasty. Also had a cup of joe. Total was just north of 5 bucks. Cheap, but the bagel was sort of unfulfilling and i had to pig out when i got home an hour later.
They have tons of sandwiches (including my next visit’s choice, the Cajun Crab Cake), salads, wraps and a couple soups. They also have a fresh smoothie menu. Very friendly folks. Sort of bland décor, but quite convenient for all Independence office slaves. Worth a visit if you are sick of everything else on Rockside (Bob Evans, Chipotle, McDonald’s, BP). Skip the canal, it blows.

I so enjoy their sandwiches here! However, I don’t like paying the price of a chipotle burrito to get a deli sandwich. Albeit a fresh, tasty deli sandwich.
As people say, their bread is absolutely delicious. Fresh baked each day. Sandwiches are creative and do represent various New York neighborhoods and aspects. As Rachel B. said, the transplanted new yorker is a wonderful combination of deli meats and cheese. I usually have mine on Ciabatta bread.
Overall: They have a bunch of different deli meat sandwiches, Mortadella, Corned Beef, Roast Beef, Honey Ham, Bacon, Prosciutto, Salami, Pastrami, Turkey, Liverwurst. I think there’s a couple more. Cheeses, Avocado, Fresh Veg, etc. Oh and a really tasty Spicy Mayo!
Sandwich comes with pickle and choice of potato salad, coleslaw, or chips. There are soups, wraps and smoothies on the menu as well.
Service is incredibly friendly and they always make sure to explain to new customers what the place is about. And usually mention that when the Cavs are training they order food from there.
It’s good. Try it out if you’re near.

This place is great. Some folks take tome getting used to the deli style ordering system, but the sammiches are great! I love the Cajun Turkey with Avacado, the bomb.
Try this place out if you ion the area.

I went for the first time after seeing a movie at Cinemark at Valley View, and was impressed with the ingredients on the deli menu — lox, avocado, et cetera. My mother and grandmother had recently raved about the hot corned beef sandwich and cole slaw they had had there. I ordered the «Awesome» Salad, with fresh mozzarella, avocado, tomatoes, and onions. The lady behind the counter was very nice and chatty while preparing my food, but I began to notice that she was using sad-​looking iceberg greens (which I think are a sorry excuse for a salad green, anyway) to pad the lack of mozzarella and avocado in the salad. Knowing it wouldn’t keep me full for long, I added an order of the Brooklyn Veggie Wrap (hummus, cream cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion). The wrap was average; the salad was sub-​par. I was very disappointed; with all those great ingredients, I could have prepared everything much better at home.
