Elim Deli Cafe

I had a veggie breakfast wrap with broccoli, eggs and cheese and I feel it was made with love! The staff here are very friendly and great to see before heading to class.

We were heading to Central Park to watch Major League Pickleball (yes, I have caught the pickle fever), and we needed a quick bite to eat while we walked. Checked on Yelp and found this highly rated deli on the way. Perfect! Walking in, I saw some pizzas under hot plates that looked decent but it was only 10am so decided on an egg sandwich. Now as a NYer, I was leaning towards a classic BEC (if you know, you know), but then I saw a sign for a "spam eggslut" sandwich. Now I am a fan of the Eggslut in LA but despite the trademark appropriation, I ordered it. Sandwiches were prepared pretty quick. Like Eggslut, the egg is fluffy and just barely cooked, which gives it a delicious consistency and flavor. The spicy mayo cuts the richness and the brioche was nice, shiny and fluffy! Loved it but just sad I forgot to take a pic. My friend got a chicken cutlet sandwich that he really liked. So why only 4 stars? Their coffee was just meh. If you are in this area and need a quick bite, try this place.

Great place full of options! My daughter and I got tuna melt paninis to go. Not only weee they delicious and reasonable for NYC but they were plentiful!

Elim Deli Cafe is a small place tucked away on Lexington Avenue. I would be reluctant to get food from Elim Deli for a long time, as it is not as aesthetically pleasing as other Delis, but I quickly learned that looks can be deceiving. After having been turned away from a breakfast food truck since there was no apple pay, my craving for an egg on a roll was at its peak. I finally came to Elim and I was eager to make the purchase. The egg on a roll with turkey bacon ** and cheese turned out to be only 6.50! Not only was it reasonably priced, it was also fairly tasty and a good portion size. The atmosphere is pretty standard for a deli in New York City -- narrow space, faint music, along with the hot and cold food bars. My sandwich was prepared in a relatively short period of time. The staff were nice and close to ensure I had napkins and condiments. :) I'll definitely be back for more breakfast sandwiches!

When looking for an authentic deli Best breakfast sandwich, Elim is the best place to go.

Made to order. Had egg slut sandwich and it was really delicious. Staff were polite and friendly.

Discovered this place 2 weeks ago and I've been dropping by once or twice every week because their selection of food is so good! Had the egg slut sandwich #3 today and it did not disappoint. Brioche, special Mayo, sautéed onions, scrambled eggs, bacon and hash brown. So good! Def recommend.
