West Side Cafe

Should have listened to the reviews here. On GrubHub they have high reviews.
DELIVERY FAIL!!!
The delivery person doesn’t speak English, which is fine except someone at the restaurant should explain directions to him. Throughout my GrubHub profile it says how to get to my office. In the lobby of my building they even give exact directions, there is signage throughout the halls, problem is, if you can’t speak English you probably can’t read English. He got lost, ended up back in the lobby, they then walked him to my office and he starts yelling at me in Spanish I said «dude I don’t know what you’re saying but I get deliveries here DAILY». He then threw my food to me and snatched the paper back and handed me a pen.
Let’s just say I WILL NEVER ORDER HERE AGAIN. Yeah the milkshake was good but the food was average at best and delivery sucked.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY!!!
I ordered Seamless and left instructions for them to call me when they got here (baby sleeping). I also called the front desk to make sure they called my cell. To make triply sure, I stood in front of the open door (for 20 minutes!) just in case they forgot to call.
I DID get a call, but the delivery guy began yelling at me as soon as I picked up. «WHERE ARE YOU? I’VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME! I’M GOING TO LEAVE! I HAVE OTHER DELIVERIES!» Huh??? I told him to just come up, but he just kept repeating that he’d been waiting a long time and even said that he’d NEVER deliver to me again. After saying, «Come up!» 20 more times, he finally said, «No, that is not my job. You come here!» WHATTT? I told him I couldn’t go downstairs because of the baby and he hung up on me! I called the front desk to instruct the delivery guy to come upstairs, but they said that nobody had come with food for me. Completely perplexed, I called the delivery guy to inform him that my doorman said he was never there. Delivery guy says, «ok ok» and hangs up again. Five minutes later, I hear him running down the hall. He throws the food at me and runs away, never having said a word.
OBVIOUSLY, he had been at the wrong address and blamed me for his mistake. I understand if he made a mistake, it happens, BUT he didn’t even apologize and still behaved incredibly rudely. I have never ever been yelled at by a delivery person and treated in such a horrible way. I gave them two stars because the food wasn’t bad, but I will never order from them again.

Not for pizza. Pizza is salty and not fresh. Coffee not up to neighborhood standards

The attendant behind the counter was very nice but the food wow it was some of the worse I have ever gotten. I am sick and plan to make a complaint to the health department regarding this disgusting place immediately. I happened to be in the area and was foolish enough to buy there. Beware!!!

The last time I went, because I never went back, I noticed one of the behind the counter guys cleaning while everyone else was making food.
I ordered, a gyro and greek salad, the man who was cleaning with a gray sludgy rag, by hand mind you, also took his time to toss the greek salad BY HAND.
Never going back.

First off, the customer service is HORRIBLE. I waited 40 minutes to call them for a delivery… and when i had politely asked where the delivery man was, the man answered «he already left» AND THEN HUNG UP ON ME?! It its now 15 minutes later and i am still waiting… I just moved here and i already have a horrible first impression with them. I am disgusted by the way they would treat a paying customer.
Secondly, West Side Café, if you’re reading this_​_​_​_​GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

Marsha makes my mornings happy. The food is always perfect, and, if it’s not, they’ll make sure it is. Great service, and a great way to start the mornings.
I switch from the train to the bus here, so, when I’m above ground for 10.73 seconds, I can send my order via grub hub. Even though it gives a time of 30 minutes for my pick up, it’s always ready when I get there 10 mins later.

Love this place. Been coming here ever since they open. Cheaper prices than everything else on the block and the staff is very pleasant. Love Marsha and the main cook.

Ok, so yes although it’s a traditional deli, the selection for breakfast and other food items is great. And the lady behind the counter was very nice and friendly. My egg, sausage, and bagel sandwich came really fast. In and out, no frills, and satisfied.

I got two sandwiches to go from here. My sandwich was supposed to have olives and anchovies, according to the menu. It had neither, and I was not told they ran out or anything. What it did have was this piece of rubbery thing inside the sandwich. It was not a cheese. I can only describe it as looking like a piece of sliced rubber glove. I stretched it a bit and it didn’t break or snap. My friend said maybe it was the divider between sliced meats. I don’t know. I didn’t try to taste it. I was sufficiently turned off by it. The rest of the sandwich seemed ok, fresh bread and meats, but I would have liked it with the olives and without this… whatever it was.

Totally impressive.
It’s a diner but go in and check it out. We had maybe less than one hour by a few min to hit our movie and we got in, sat at the counter, had impeccable service and truly GOOD FOOD in under an hour.
I had the Mozzeralla Caprese Salad with a side of cottage cheese (thinking it would be a side). Wow. The CC was a meal in itself but oh sooo good. Perhaps that’s why it was $ 4.75 — you get a lot. Drinks were refilled and we were left to enjoy our quick meal before our movie.
During my week long stay in the city I ate Mozz Caprese Salad whenever I could and by far, West Side Café out did everyone else’s. It had the right balance of dressing, basic, peppers, mozz and tomatoes.
Anything you get here won’t make you sorry. This place rocked!

Get a slice of their spinach pizza, and ask for everything on top. Everything. You’ll get all the kinds of meats piled on top, and a crispy slice to boot. It’ll set you back $ 4.50, but you’ll only need one slice. Well, maybe two.
As for the café, there’s seating in the back, and drinks and other prepared foods for purchase.
Friendly service all around.

A good, solid, clean, tasty deli/​pizzeria on the UWS. I heard some raves about the food, so I decided to give it a try.
I settled on a Muenster Cheese Burger deluxe. I made the right choice. Everything about my lunch was solid. I left feeling satisfied, not overly full.
The service is fast and the place is super clean. I’ll be back for lunch.

I get my coffee here most mornings. The staff is pleasant, the coffee is pretty standard. The register staff can sometimes be a little slow for my taste, but I’m usually running late, so maybe that’s my fault. Haven’t really tried much else here but the prices are decent and they have a fairly broad selection — pizza, sandwiches, salads, packaged foods, hot dishes, etc.
