On my first day of work someone brought me to Cafe Gusto and now a year later I still find myself there almost every day for lunch. Not only is the food and pricing great, but the service is incredibly friendly and will even remember your name!

Love the salads here. Lots of add in options, always on point, huge and very affordable for the area ($10ish). I have fewer kind words for the sandwiches. I went in close to 3pm, so it was kind of close to closing and the salad counter was shut down already so I got a Turkey club. It was one of the ones already made out on display, and very un-fresh and bland. They may be better earlier in the day. Tends to be a little less busy and rushed than the nearby civic deli.

Had breakfast here and was impressed with quantity, flavor and price. Super quick and even friendly service. A few tables inside made it very convenient to grab a quick and tasty bite and get out of the chilly weather outside for a bit. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes good food at very reasonable prices. Our New York office is not far from here and definitely worth the short walk.

Food was fine except that some of my grapes had mold. Service was fine. Atmosphere... It's a deli, so not much to expect.

Classic NYC “corner” restaurant… cheap but very tasty food, and fast/good service. For those complaining is not a Michelin Rated restaurant!

Amazing taste and prices. Their Multi grain bagle is the best and with very unique ingredients ($1.25 w butter). Highly recommend
