Top bacon egg and cheese! I am a bacon egg and cheese connoisseur, and having sampled 100s during my life, Deb’s comes out near the top. They toast and then griddle the bun with a little bit of butter so it’s nice and soft, and the cheese is always perfectly melted into the egg. I can’t speak for their other food but it looks delicious. Oh, and Juan makes the some of the best hot sauce I’ve had. It’s a nice deep and flavorful heat but not overwhelming… wish they sold this for me to take home.

I’ve been going here regularly for years. Love this joint for so many reasons. Primarily because everything is so fresh and has that homemade-from-scratch vibe. My favorite meals: breakfast omelette(dump some of their homemade hot sauce on it!), and Taco Tuesday tacos(also dump their hot sauce on them!). There are quite a few taco’s available in the area, including food trucks. But when it comes to Tuesday lunch, I go here every week.

The food is good here but the experience /price is so frustrating. As others have mentioned, the prices are not consistent and you get charged a different amount every time! Not only that but they jacked up the prices after a recent«renovation»(addition of subway tiles to the walls)…$ 9 for an egg white omelet w 3 toppings? On top of the pricing issue(and it is a big issue), they frequently mess up orders and are incredibly slow. I have tried so hard to like this place as it’s close to work but the high price and frustrating process are making it a no-go.

Another short and sweet one here. This spot is across the street from«Getting Hungry» if you can live without a life sized lion and a juice bar this is the place for you. The food and staff are great and the prices good with some standard Manhattan upsale. It is a very small place so keep that in mind if you are in a rush.

Food was delicious. Service was great. Lower priced than most deli’s. Point made, love this deli.

There are so many good things about Debs! I think it’s better then some other reviews give it credit for. First time I went here I had a mini turkey sandwich with Brie, honey, and apple slices. $ 4 of delicious and surprisingly filling for being small. I think their hand tossed salads are just as good as Chop’t(which I crave constantly) but like most«gourmet» style salads they make their toppings extremely overpriced. However, I still don’t let that deter me and continue to come back, craving the balsamic dressing and perfectly tossed balance of flavors and textures. Bottom line: solid lunch spot that doesn’t disappoint

Honestly I do ALOT of Catering. I came back to Debs. They are higher priced but the food is top notch. I rather pay for good food than the crap you get from other vendors. They do what you want and they also put up with my high standards.

Debs is extremely over priced even for tho NYC location. Their food is not worth the high price! Prices also are never the same! The convenience of them being in my building is not worth the price either :(

Deb’s, you’re so solid. One of my solid salad lunch bar spots. It’s a walk in, shovel into your box and weigh, pay and walk out. My faves: garlic cumin baby carrots(yes), gently marinated raw kale salad with shaved parm, dates and slivered almondds, raw brussel sprout salad with pomegranates and chopped hazelnuts, and the quinoa with roasted butternut squash and mint! The guys always throw in a multi-grain bread with the salad bar purchase. AND it’s so cheap. I have yet to take down any pastries and I would love it if they started carrying GT’s Kombucha. Thanks Deb

Deb’s is on the first floor of the building I work in, making it the most convenient stop for me to grab something on my way in. Here are two reasons I’m giving it one stinking star. 1. I get the same thing every time. Every time, it costs a different amount. It’s never off by much, but it’s never the same leading me to believe they make up their prices as they go. Bad customer experience. 2. Their $ 5 minimum for debit card purchases. I’m aware of the fees that CC companies tack on to small businesses, and that still sucks. But when something gets rung up for $ 4.96 and the guy says«five dollar minimum» when my coffee has been made and bagged up, makes me want to tear my eyeballs out. Bad customer experience.

I work in the building where Deb’s is located, but that is not the only reason I eat there. I eat there because it is legitimately great food. I had the cauliflower soup yesterday and it was the best thing I have eaten in a while. Today I had the sweet potato and vegetable and it was just as tasty. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and they often remember my face. I have eaten from almost every category they have to offer: salad bar, breakfast, soups, sandwiches, hot meals, and everything has that authentic homemade taste.

I’m not sure why so many of these reviews are negative… and even if they’re decent reviews, I’m not sure why they’re stingy with the stars(some of these reviews literally read great service, great soup, great salad, awesome cookies…3-stars, what?! Another one reads good food, quick service, and wide selection…3-stars?) The things that stand out here, like many of the reviews below suggest, are: — Good, homely, comfort food — Super nice service and staff — Wide selection Had the breakfast wrap with eggs, mushrooms greens, and mozzarella cheese. It was plain and simple yet was hearty and tasted good and left me feeling pretty healthy. They really loaded it up — the wrap-to-filling ratio was pretty generous. On the go, I also got the red velvet cookie with white chocolate chip as well as the carrot cake. Cookie was decent, but the carrot cake was where Deb’s shined — very moist, not overly sweet, and the carrot shreds and nutty interior added a great texture oomph. The customers are all regulars here — that says something about the quality here. They all seem to have their go-to orders whether it’s the make-your-own-oatmeal or the coconut cream cake. This place is a hole in the wall, and it’s sort of hard to find, so I imagine they have to get a lot of loyal repeat customers to stay afloat. Deb’s is simple and good. If you’re coming here expecting some gourmet, silver platter breakfast, go to Balthazar’s which is a 10 minute walk.

I want this place to be good, but they just try so hard not to be. I can’t walk out of Deb;s with out feeling like I’ve been ripped off. The people who work there are nice for the most part, but its overpriced and the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches barely earn the right to be called bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. I beg you, Deb + Co. Please, please try and do better. What you’re doing now sucks and I don’t like it.

A good lunch spot, albeit overpriced, as many are in the area. Debs is where I go if I’m getting a lunch salad… Lots of ingredients, they’ll chop it, and it’s not as pricey as other places in the area, although its close. Deb’s stands above the rest with their hot food menu. Every day they have hot sides and entrees, like pot roast, meatloaf, etc., and those portions are actually pretty good. I’ve never gotten a hot meal and remained hungry when I was done… Heck, I’ve been unable to finish a couple times. There are a few soups that they rotate daily. I’ve had only a couple, the split pea and the turkey chili being the best. The sandwiches are either paninis or cold pre mades, and for the price I’d avoid them… Getting Hungry across the street is a much better option for sandwiches.

I really wanted to like this tiny, independent, neighborhood establishment. They seem to have okay salad materials but coffee is standard deli swill, my bagel was barely toasted and they were nearly out of all but plain cream cheese. No, don’t bother giving me the very last spoonful of scallion — yuck. They need to up their game. It’s a catering establishment? Wouldn’t be be my first choice for any event, special or otherwise.

I’ve been frequenting Deb’s in the morning for their egg white omelets. But I might cease these visits due to the lack of hustle and listening. I always have to repeat my order and I find that there is no rush in creating my omelet. I’d like to see them putting my ingredients in the bowl and let them be on their way so I can be on mine. Know the math for the omelet, hand me my number and let me pay. If they could streamline this process I’d return again. __________________________ Deb’s is located on the first floor of the Graphic Arts Center, I come here regularly for their salads. The staff is always on their feet, ready to serve the next available customer and they are super friendly. It’s a small place, only 3 – 4 chairs to sit and eat lunch — perfect to grab and go back to my office. The soups are hit and miss but the guys who make my salads are always consistent and whip them up in a flash. Lastly, the cookies although expensive($ 2.25) are my weakness… TIP: $ 5 minimum on your card.

Occasionally I’ll drive into work with my sister. When we do we park in the west village area. We like to try a new breakfast spot every time we are in the area. They have an interesting selection with ok prices. The place is pretty small so i was really surprised with how much selection they had. I only had a hazelnut coffee which was your standard breakfast spot coffee nothing too stand out. My friend had eggs on a roll which she said was good, not to hard to mess up eggs though. Decently priced I heard rave reviews about there cheese grits. All in all the place is good, quick, and a large variety

I really wish Deb’s would get their s*** together. I mean seriously. I live around the corner and have a vested interest in seeing this place succeed and actually hand me my breakfast in a timely, stress-free manner, but nuh-uh, it aint happening. Two major complaints: this place is slow and overpriced. Let’s break it down. First off, Deb’s is TINY. If there are more than three people waiting in line, this place gets overwhelmed. There simply isn’t enough place for customers to stand. Second, there is only ONECASHIER and they take plastic only above $ 5. Given that paying in cash takes like 2 – 3 times the time it takes to pay by card, this slows the breakfast line down to a crawl. I don’t understand why they can’t get a second cashier or hurry people along or take plastic! Third, Deb’s is kind of overpriced. While I have to admit, they do have the best selection of hot breakfast cereals, their prices are definitely above market. I wonder if that’s because theyre right next to the subway. Do yourself and cross the street to Getting Hungry instead. They are SO much faster, about 5x the size and are really friendly with amazing healthy options for both breakfast and lunch. SKIP!

Stopped by to grab a quick breakfast. The neigbhourhood seems to be lacking with healthier food joints. The place is small and cute with very less seating capacity. The staff seemed to be busy with their own chit chat. I grabbed an egg sandwich with chesse and fruit cup. The place is ok but nothing special about it.

From the outside, this place looks like a dump, but in actuality, it’s a cute little place with fresh and tasty food. The prices can be a little high, but the service and food is worth the extra dollar or two. Their salads are great — the guy even cut a fresh avocado for me, not one that was just sitting cut up in the salad tray all day long. Great soup selection(try the split pea), also offering daily entrees. They take credit cards, which is a bonus, but there isn’t much place to really sit and enjoy if you’re there with others.
