    Cheesecake straight from heaven!
    Leah L.

    Come for the sandwiches but don't sleep on the cheesecake! Seriously this is my weakness. I have to have restraint. Don't believe me, try it. You won't be sorry

    Finally tried the pesto potato sandwich that everyone raves about here... It was just as wonderful as I expected it to be, however, I made the mistake of being too excited about putting it in my mouth... And I burned the heck out of the roof of my mouth on a molten potato... First world problems, lol It was worth it, I'll be getting this again ...

    Current website prices

    Stay Away! This used to be my go-to deli for good Reubens. Not anymore! I went to their website to review the menu before I arrived so I wouldn't hold up the order line. I decided to get two different half sandwiches for $8,50 each. After paying I sat down with my friends and looked at the receipt. They had charged me $14 per half sandwich. I went back to the register and explained their mistake and was told they had recently raised their prices. I asked to speak to the manager but Blair was not there to hear my complaint. To make matters worse, they no longer shave the pastrami and corned beef. They now use two thick slices of lunch meat on each sandwich! And the bread was very dry! Stay Away!

    Turkey & Swiss
    Dominique E.

    Well the reviews were solid but my experience was so so. I ordered a cold sandwich, the turkey and Swiss. It had everything I hoped for and more. However, it was messy! The turkey cuts were massive and I couldn't bite into it because of how big it was. My sandwich eventually fell apart because the bread didn't keep it together. The flavor wasn't anything to remember - it was your neighborhood deli. Service was good and it wasn't that packed. I would probably pass on this for another sandwich spot.

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese everything Bagel

    Twas a great breakfast bagel. Bagel was fluffy, but the eggs were slightly under seasoned. Lovely staff-- well-deserving of their tip! It is filling and great post-workout meal. Cheers!

    Dry potato salad with zero flavor
    Kara M.

    This was disappointing to say the least. Maybe we visited on an off day, maybe we ordered the wrong things, or maybe my expectations were set too high by the hundreds of other reviews...but this was edible at best, and short of anything impressive or exceptional. We went on a Saturday during the lunch rush hour. The line to order moved pretty swiftly, and we were still able to snag a table indoors. The service was your standard counter-order service. The food didn't take terribly long, and it was brought out as it was ready, however, the food is the problem. Tasteless, dry, and underwhelming overall. With plenty of delis and good sandwich shops around Austin, I can't see myself ever electing to revisit here. FOOD RATINGS: - Potato salad (0/5): I've never rated food 0/5 but this was the saddest potato salad I've ever had. For starters, it was extremely dry, almost crumbly. Had 0 flavor. Couldn't even finish it. - Reuben sandwich (3/5): Probably the only decent thing we ordered, and yet still mediocre. - Broccoli cheddar soup (3/5): Just okay. Left you wanting something more. - Egg salad sandwich (0/5): Twins with the potato salad, which makes sense since the makeup is basically the same! Dry, flavorless, and the sandwich was just sad. Bread wasn't very good. The lettuce and tomato added color and nothing else.

    Tuna Melt
    Sage O.

    This place is known for their bagels and big sandwiches. To be honest I've only taken out from here so maybe it would be better if I dined in, but I've never been that impressed. The tuna melt was packed with tuna and it was good but felt like it could have more flavor. The onion bagel didn't have much flavor either and I got it scooped out so there was more room for the filling.

    Matzo Ball Soup
    Jeremy K.

    I've gone back and forth on my review to Biderman's. The food is fine in general. The bagels are unfortunately lackluster. I've been told there is an issue between Rosen's and Biderman's so the bagels taste differently now. It's clear they are different which is unfortunate. Their black and white cookies are stellar. Decent enough corned beef/pastrami sandwich. Their matzoh balls saved my Hanukkah party this year as my matzoh balls didn't firm up appropriately enough. The service at Bidermans is below average. It's sad because the last several reviews say the same thing too.

    Lox Deluxe Bagel Sandwich. I forgot to ask for extra tomatoes, but it didn't matter. Yum!
    Victoria B.

    Conveniently located, and especially popular for weekend breakfast. The service is cheerful, even at 3:45 PM on a Tuesday (they close at 4:00). The interior of Biderman's reminds me of Schilo's Deli in San Antonio (but much smaller).

    Lox Deluxe Bagel Sandwich
    Dolly N.

    I came here around lunch time and this place was packed! It seems to be a really popular lunch spot with both dine-in and pick up customers. However, it did seem like they may have been understaffed for the amount of customers. I noticed that there were quite a few pick up customers that had to stand awhile for their food, which made it seem really crowded inside the place and it ended up blocking the ordering line too. I ordered to go and think I ended up waiting around 30 minutes+. Got the lox bagel sandwich w/ chive on a sesame bagel which I would highly recommend. Sadly, everything else I ordered was just okay. I got a side of the potato latkes which were a decent portion and came with sour cream and applesauce. But I felt like they were unsalted/unseasoned. The broccoli cheddar soup was good but pretty watery. Overall, I'd give this place another try because the bagels are good and that's what you're here for. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait

    House Reuben
    Marion W.

    Well, this was a good discovery. My Jewish husband gives it a 5 stars, I give it a 4. I love that they are using Easy Tiger bread, that's a big bonus for me, the bread was great. The Reuben was food, but I wish I had gotten the pastrami sandwich, hubby's sandwich was better. Everything looked clean and portions are good. That day they didn't have any non dairy options for coffee creamers but usually they do, so that's also a good point. I gave it 4 stars because the attitude from the staff wasn't my favorite, and I've had better Reuben before. To be fair, that would have been in NYC. So for an Austin deli place, it's a safe spot, and if hubby approves, then I do too.

    Bagel and Schmear with salmon
    Larry E.

    The lunch we had was really quite good. The French dip was quite large so we had to take part to our next appointment. I opted for a jalapeño bagel with chive smear and and salmon. Very good. We will be back!

We had a friendly, attentive server, and our food came out in a timely manner. I ordered the Breakfast Bun, which was a breakfast sandwich with a steamed egg, cheese, and sesame bun. Loved every bite of my sandwich. The steamed egg was thick and fluffy, and it was oozing with melted cheese. Can't wait to try other items off the menu!

I went again today and had the traditional breakfast with the crispiest bacon and home fries seasoned just right with a big of hatch green chile, and poached eggs and sourdough toast. OMG that toast was definitely freshly made. The room is classic old hotel style and overall in pretty good shape. From the flowers in the the tables to the old fashion coffee bar with pastry case full of fresh croissant and rolls and other delicious options. Even the juices are outstanding and unique, including guava juice.

Whether you're looking to get some work done, meet a friend, or simply people-watch, this spot checks all the boxes. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and even when it gets busy, there seems to be plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating available. I stopped in on a Thursday morning and enjoyed the chilaquiles, a latte, and one of the most beautiful raspberry scones I've seen in a while. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu also deserves a shoutout for seamlessly transitioning from breakfast to lunch and even happy hour offerings later in the day. One of the highlights was how easy it was to settle in and work. The WiFi was fast and reliable, and I was able to comfortably spend about three hours there without feeling rushed. What truly stood out, though, was the customer service. Every interaction was warm, friendly, and genuine. The staff created such a welcoming environment that it genuinely elevated the entire experience. Between the great food, fast WiFi, comfortable seating, and outstanding hospitality, Jo's Coffee was the perfect way to spend a Thursday morning.

I came here yesterday with my girlfriend and we split a chicken salad sandwich. As someone who doesn't typically eat chicken salad, I was unaware it could contain tree nuts. I took one bite, felt an unexpected crunch, and then felt my throat start to swell. My girlfriend asked a worker if she knew if the chicken salad contained nuts and she frantically exclaimed "oh no! I don't know!" before asking the kitchen. She then came back and said "it has pecans! Is that bad?" And I said "yes. Kinda bad" Luckily because I only had one bite and then proceeded to chew on a few Benadryl I ended up being okay and my throat and lungs were all back to normal in an hour or so, even if I had to spend my day in bed high on said Benadryl. If I had eaten any more of the sandwich though, I very easily could have ended up in the ER. All that to say - the menu does not make any mention of pecans being in the chicken salad, either in-store or online. Which is strange because tree nuts are disclosed in some of the other menu items. This feels like a bit of an oversight, no? Fellow nut allergy-havers: do you avoid chicken salad altogether? Am I ignorant for not knowing the risk of ordering chicken salad? I don't know but this did ruin a whole day for me and very easily could've cost me $2000 and a trip to the ER if I really enjoyed the taste of the sandwich. (Luckily I did not.) Sorry to leave a shady diva review for a time-honored Austin institution - the worker we spoke to seemed very apologetic and reasonably frightened. But you you've really gotta add that *contains tree nuts or your customers are gonna end up intubated. Not very cool! Feel free to send me money or whatever. Please don't send me a gift card.
