Nice little shop in St. Vincent Court. It's an international shop with little of everything from biscuits, to olives, to wines, to cold cuts, to sandwiches, to sweet treats, to coffee & drinks. Folks go there for the delis, especially sandwiches- and so am I today for the pastrami sandwich. The breads is a thin baguette or I call it pita like, a thin bread that toasted with the meats and then veggies then rolled it up. Perfectly great looking roll. The meats used to be more than now, then again so does the costs. The taste is great, tasty and perfectly balanced from meats to veggies to bread, yum! Service is great and friendly. There is a seating area in the back corner of the shop, unfortunately it looks abit sad and boring BUT they do have outside seating, either on the sidewalk or on under the tent on the street. Most preferred outside then inside. Overall another great snack at a great deli in a great relax, chill, and Europe likes in the busty DTLA in the jewelry district.

LOVE THE SANDWICHES HERE! the bread they use is amazingly fresh, it's toasted to its perfection. their two most popular sandwiches are the pastrami (hot) and mortadella (cold). i always get both and it's worth the trip. they're about $10+ each. it comes with little yellow peppers.

We were looking for a lunch spot and originally was going to try Salt N Pepper, but it didn't look that appealing so we came here. The place was cute and had the most patrons. They had a chicken special that day (Tuesday) and the guy convinced me to get it. I ordered a side of fries - total ended up being $20, which was okay. My coworker got the feta wrap. The fries came out first - they were crispy but didn't have a lot of salt. My wrap was flavorful - the chicken was delicious and all the fixings were great. They also had picked radishes and other picked stuff you could add. My coworker loved her feta wrap - said the lavash was excellent. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our meal. Will definitely come back!

Ambiance: small grocery and deli store, located in a small alley in between busy streets in downtown jewelry district, it's the hidden gem in the area Service: very friendly and fast, served the food and drink quickly after ordering Food & Drink: standard and special menu for cold and hot sandwiches and coffee Beef Lula Kebab Pita Wrap - **** it's the type of kebab cooked on skewers, made from minced meat and it is a specialty of Armenian, with onions, tomatoes and sumak, spicy and rich in flavors, recommend Zero Coke - *** can soda Armenian Coffee - **** Armenian soorj, often described as a rich cup of espresso, strong taste and bold aroma, the flavor is very strong, unfiltered coffee with small serving size, recommend Price: moderation portions and good for lunch and light meals, around $20 per person

Stop searching around for a decent, delicious and authentic sandwich!!! Garo's Deli is definitely the right place to go. Took me a while to find a parking spot in DTLA, not surprised, and finally find this Armenian deli shop located in a small alley in St. Vincent Court. I am super excited!! Walking in the shop, I am truly amazed by how clean and nicely organized of its set-up. There are different kinds of fresh bread, choices of cheese, deli meat and sides that you can build your own sandwiches OR you can go straight from the prepared sandwiches on the menu. All staffs are very friendly and helpful, I am given enough time to ask questions and explore all the goodies. I ordered two hot sandwiches: Chicken Club and Pastrami. Their sandwiches are made to order with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, provolone cheese and other sandwich dressings. Hot sandwiches are toasted in an oven for around 30-45 seconds with cheese. Before I took the first bite, the cross section view of these sandwiches have already won my heart and every bite is full of different textures and layers of flavors!! The only thing to mention will be the chicken, it's a little dry to my standard and I hope it could be more moist and tender next time. As mentioned earlier, the parking can be a challenge if you are not from local. You can also park in nearby lot with minimal fee and walk here for pick-up. There are about 5-6 indoor seating and 6-7 outdoor seating for small gatherings. Garo's Deli is not only a sandwich shop but also a small market where you can buy varieties of sauces and cheese which is very convenient. This amazing shop is firstly opened in late 2020 during the pandemic. Thank you Garo for serving great quality food and excellent customer service.

It is located at the Historic St. Vincente Court. What a surprise to see many shops in this alley. I love to support small business!! Entrance near the 7th and Hill Street. They have outdoor seating area. Perfect place for a quick bite. The Service: Laura was helping me at the counter. She is so lovely & efficient. Great customer service! I also met with the owner, DiKran, who is such a charming gentleman! His gorgeous smile definitely brightens my day~ If you see him at the store, don't forget to say hi! The Food: I love their sandwiches. They use fresh baguette. They are freshly prepared & made to order. I got them to-go. When I was driving home, the smell of the soujouk sandwich in my car.... OMG!! It made me so hungry~ Love it when they toast the baguette, the bread is a little bit crispy outside & soft inside. Fresh ingredient is the #1 key here!

Pastrami Sandwich
Airi G.

Get the hot sandwiches!! They're packed with flavor and the crunch from the baguette is chef's kiss. The bread part of the baguette was carved out so the sandwich wasn't as heavy. I was really able to appreciate the flavors of the filling. I got the iconic pastrami sandwich which they generously filled with meat. If you want something refreshing, I would order this since this one had both lettuce and tomatoes. If you want something different, I'd highly recommend the soujouk sandwich. It has thin slices of spiced sausage that gives the sandwich so much flavor. If you're indecisive like me, I'm making the choice for you. This sandwich is a must-try because it's not something you can get at a typical deli.

Soujouk Sandwich
Vincent P.

This Armenian deli is a hidden gem located in St. Vincent Court, downtown LA. They offer pastries, soups, snacks, and sandwiches. If you're not from the local area, parking is a bit difficult, I paid $5 for 15 min parking at the lot close by for a quick dash n go. Otherwise, I would have someone drop you off for a pick up. The sandwiches at Garo's Deli are so delicious. They are nicely toasted and packed with a nice ratio of meat and veggies. The portions are great and the sandwiches are perfectly cut. This was my first time trying Soujouk (Armenian sausage), it was tasty and similar to salami! I recommend if you like to try something different from the usual. The Pastrami sandwich was also really good, I liked the additions of all the veggies and cheese.

You would never guess, that smack dab in the middle of downtown LA, you'd find a little area called St. Vincent Court. Though it's more like an alley, you'll feel yourself transported out of the hustle and bustle of the city, and in a quaint little area with fun architecture and little shops. Among these little shops you'll find Garo's Deli. A lovely sandwich shop that also sells some treats and snacks! They are most popular for the Chicken Garlic subway sandwiches and the Pastrami. When the sandwiches came out, the smell was very good and I was super excited to dig in. The bread was super crunchy! Love how crispy and perfectly toasted the sandwiches were. I shared a pastrami and a chicken sub just so I could try both. The chicken tasted really good, and by the time I got to my second half, I was already a bit full, but because the pastrami was so delicious, I kept eating. Great spot for some delicious sandwiches and some cool views!

[Review #653] 2021 Yelp 100 Challenge (75/100) It's my husband's birthday today & we headed to hidden gem Garo's Deli to celebrate! I mean this figuratively & literally... I had trouble finding the deli shop that's located in the center of DTLA's jewelry district; they're located between main streets: Hill St. & Broadway in the alley on St. Vincent Ct., which houses numerous delis. The security guard by the parking garage nicknamed this "deli alley." With our sitter out of commission, we had the LOs with us on our lunch date. It was best to locate parking closest to the deli & found a garage around the corner off Broadway & 7th St., & it exits right into the alley... yay! On weekends, there's a flat rate ($10 on Saturdays & $8 on Sundays). Yikes! I did notice you could park in the alleyway (if you're lucky) for free, but there's limited spots; I'm going to try my luck next time. We ordered 3 sandwiches: GARLIC MORTADELLA (provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, mayo) for me, TUNA (lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mustard) for the birthday man, & TURKEY (provolone, lettuce) for the kiddos to share. Service is fast & friendly, & we got served quick! Mortadella is one of my fav Italian deli meats but I never tried a garlic version. I can taste the garlic without it being overwhelming, & I love their pickles! They're not like the typical dill flavored sandwich pickle, still acidic but on the sweeter side, & complements the saltiness of the mortadella. I noticed their shelves were holding these yummy pickles; I planned to buy a jar or two before leaving, but a quick distraction by my kids & forgot due to momesia. :-| I've had toasted sandwiches before, but their's had an extra crunch factor that I really enjoyed. This is one of the best deli sandwiches I ever had, & I've had plenty! =D My husband really liked his tuna sandwich, & his was also toasted with a crunchy texture. I took a bite (actually I took a few) & we ended switching halves so we can have the best of both! ;-) I kept the kiddos' sandwich on the plainer side, just turkey, cheese, & lettuce since they're not a fan of pickles (what I should have done was added their pickles to my sandwich) & condiments (they can be fickled with mayo but definitely no mustard). My daughter & son loved the crunch French baguette though he couldn't really bite it; I forgot about his loose tooth so I separated the filling to cut the baguette into bite-size pieces (like a crouton) so he could enjoy his deconstructed sandwich. Ahhh... the things I do for these kids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ After they were done, I went back in to pick-up a couple mini containers of Mediterranean ice cream (chocolate & blackberry) to cool off on this warm day. H & M got inventive after a couple of bites & split-shared so they both enjoyed a chocolate-blackberry ice cream cup. It was pretty good! =D We dined outside & people-watched while we ate. We even enjoyed a rap by the guy who was cruising the streets, stating this is his 'hood. If anyone bothers us, he will take care of them. :-O Not sure exactly what he meant by "take care of" but he was a character. His rap was pretty dope about how kids should be taken care of by their 'rents & they're our future... really positive lyrics. :-) Garo's Deli seems to be a regular hangout for some, & we're down with the family-friendly chill vibes. Prices are moderate, & portions are proportionate, though we may be a bit hungrier than norm (we went on a morning hike) & needed a bit more to be filled, though my kids were technically stuffed on 1/2 a sandwich but made room for ice cream. O_o If we weren't making additional stops, I wanted to get a couple to-go for dinner. I wanted to try Jack's Spicy Soujouk & Basturma Sandwiches, & that Foul by Bowl sounds interesting too but it's only available weekdays. And I have no idea how I missed the Cheese Flat Bread! Next time, definitely next time... because I need to come back for them pickles! Recommended: Garlic Mortadella Sandwich (a must!), Tuna Sandwich, Turkey Sandwich, & if you still have room, try the Sweet Dreams (aka Ashta) Ice Cream.

Garlic Mortadella Sandwich
Amy P.

Garo's Deli is located in the St. Vincent Court alley way within the jewelry district of Downtown LA. Garo's is not only a deli shop but a little market as well. I arrived at 2pm and was surprised to see the shop still in "lunch mode" with walk in customers and phone orders. I ordered the Cold Garlic Mortadella ($11.50) & Hot Pastrami ($12) which were provided within reasonable time considering the business. Both sandwiches were made similarly with mayo, mustard, shredded lettuce, tomato, and the same bread; only difference was the meats inside. The garlic mortadella is sliced fresh and I was shocked to see how much they put in the sandwich! You definitely get a fair amount of meat to fill you up. I'm huge on carbs and I loved the bread here which is made fresh every morning. It looks like they carve out some of the inners of the bread to make as much room to stuff their sandwiches! Indoor and outdoor seating available.

This place is a hidden GEM! Located in the heart of the Jewlery district. It's located in a really cute between buildings area and they have outdoor seating and relaxing music that really sets a vibe for a deli. There is an $8 parking lot on Olive and 6th street which is a pretty good deal. I tried 2 of their cold sandwiches: Ham and Garlic Mortadella. I'm usually not a big fan of cold sandwhiches but wow these were really tasty! There is a lot of flavor in these and the pickes are really unique. I've never had a pickle like theirs before. I also tried their cheese flatbread and it's a lot fancier than it sounds. There is SO much flavor in the cheese flatbread AND the cheese they use is super unique and not regular cheese. Super happy I got to try this place out. I had a very good time. Eating here made me feel like I was a tourist in DTLA trying something new. The staff here is also super friendly and they care about the food they make. So much flavor in everything they make here with super unique and fresh deli ingredients!

This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!

great indoor space and pretty strong coffee! Seriously…read moreamazing service - they actually look like they want to be there There are a lot of coffee shops in Koreatown but I definitely think it's Van Dykes is worth a visit
