I first discovered Gourmands around 2002 when I worked in the area. It was famous then- great service, delicious sandwiches, all my coworkers were obsessed with the chippers. We loved the spot and was always a treat when we had Gourmands for lunch. I am back working in the area and was pleased to see they were still open. It's been 20 years probably, I prepared myself to be disappointed. Surely, they can my be at the same caliber as before? I bet someone else bought the place and quality went downhill? I was gleefully wrong. Same great service. Same wonderful, plentiful menu. Same excellence and quality. Same chippers! My sandwich was Giant, perfectly crafted , fresh and ready in the appropriate amount of time. I was so happy to enjoy my lunch there and see it was still bustling with patrons. You must check out Gourmands read more

Everything was delicious with my breakfast sandwich, except the eggs were either baked or microwaved. It was also super thin.

Great deli I have worked close to here for over 10 years and we have ordered on and off over the years. I will say their sandwiches are good and the chippers are delicious. Like with most businesses the cost has gone up and the amount of toppings has decreased. I feel like their bread and other items are slightly different from what I have had in the past but the sandwiches are still very filling. read more

This is my favorite sandwich spot in ALL of Cleveland. I feel like most Clevelanders may saw Slyman's which is CLE iconic but Gourmands is a hidden gem. It's tucked away in a small strip mall in Valley View with early hours (i think they close at 2pm). Locals KNOW the value of this sandwich so don't attempt to just show up at 12pm and order a sandwich. You should definitely call ahead so you are not left waiting an hour. The list of sandwiches on the menu is vast but my favorite is the cajun redfish (spicy breaded fillet with coleslaw on multigrain bread). I am very confident you CANNOT go wrong with any item on this menu. read more

This place is hard to categorize. It's a coffee shop, deli, cigar shop and hang out spot. You can even find interesting IPA's for sale there too. They often offer you an expresso shot or chai tea sample as they brew it. They work like a well oiled machine turning out top notch deli sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. My breakfast bagel is huge, has real egg, thick crispy bacon and delicious sharp cheddar cheese. The service is always fast, friendly and accurate. read more

Gourmand's - Choices........... - Delis Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

This place was awesome. We stopped in from out of town and ordered coffees, the Maui sandwich, and a GF breakfast sandwich. The coffee and sandwiches were so yummy. They have any and every type of meat, bread, cheese, and soup for the perfect meal. Service was excellent. read more

The sandwiches are giant and delicious. The variety is absolutely insane no matter what your dietary preferences are! The family is so welcoming and the ambiance is cozy and casual. The food comes out within 10-15 minutes of ordering and it is made to order. I cannot wait to try more sandwiches! read more

The menu at Gourmand's is extensive and fun, and they offer a nice selection of veg-forward dishes. I chose my favorite, The V-8, a hearty sandwich made on multi-grain bread filled with crispy, fresh veggies, including cucumbers, peppers, mushrooms, red onions, sprouts, pepper rings, lettuce, and tomato, smeared with a gorgeous sundried tomato pesto. The sandwich holds together amazingly well, and it is equal parts beautiful, satisfying, and just plain delicious. Much love to the team at Gourmand's for keeping their plant-based friends in mind in such a creative, thoughtful, and intentional way. As I continue to seek for spots that create a sense of unity between plant-based diners and their meat-eating loved ones, where they can sit down and break bread together with both leaving happy and seen, Gourmand's is right at the top of that list. read more

Definitely will come back here when I am back in town. My sandwich, the mad cow, was really large and had plenty of flavor and was stacked w meat. Definitely worth the money. Glad I found this place on Yelp and stopped in. Neat place too. Also sells cigars, coffee and wine. read more

Gourmand's is awesome. The best pulled pork sandwich I've probably every had. This time, I tried the Chicago Beef, is was amazing. The fries and zucchini fries are also great! Quality food and highly recommend. The inside is cool and offers more then just lunch. And the gentleman who checked me out was great, helpful, and had a wonderful since of humor. read more

I found this place by chance in a Facebook foodie group and I'm so glad I did. The particular post in the group mentioned the Hawaii Five-O; smoked turkey, pepper jack cheese, slaw, pineapple chutney, bacon, and Maui sweet onion potato chips on toasted farm bread. When I read that description, I was sold and decided to order it that very day. It was recommended that you call ahead to place your order, as it tends to get very busy at lunch time. Upon arrival, it was pretty busy, but I didn't have to wait long at all. They have a huge board behind the counter with an extensive sandwich menu; truly something for everyone. They also serve coffee, smoothies, breakfast items, and baked goods. There is also a nice selection of beer, wine, and cigars for sale. The man at the counter was very friendly and was playing really good music. When I finally got home and tried the sandwich, I was blown away. It was everything I wanted and more. Everything was so fresh and expertly made. I went back the next day and ordered the same thing, and also some cookies that were near the counter that looked good (they were). I've also tried the Italian beef and the gyro, both were incredible. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

It had been such a long time since I dined here. I was so glad I was in this area. This place is great for breakfast and lunch. They close at 3 daily. There are tons of items on the menu and it is broken down by meat so if poultry is your jam, you can easily find what you want. There is a very cool drink selection too. I chose a pure leaf green tea with a hint of fuji apple and ginger. So Yum! My wrap was so tasty and humongous. When you dine in, you pay when you leave. All the staff are super helpful and patient. I can't wait to return. read more

One of a kind sandwich shop. They also sell cigars, wine & coffee + more. The owners are so friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about their craft. I do recommend calling your order in very early since they pretty much stop taking orders around lunchtime because it gets so busy. The shop itself is very small inside but it works! I love the Hawaii Five-O sandwich with a passion even though i still have so much left to try on the menu. read more

The amount of goofiness and love you meet when you walk in is crazy. I guess my mom and brothers are regulars here. Super nice staff, warm welcoming presence. They are very funny and silly. And welcome every customer in the same way. The menu is huge and everything on it is great. It was my 1st time and they did not rush me looking thru the menu. And they even offer suggestions based on taste selection. This is a Valley View/ Cleveland staple read more

Out on the motorcycle for a ride before work and needed to pick up lunch on the way downtown; since I was coming up the Cuyahoga Valley I remembered that I had heard great things about Gourmand's. Located in a small retail plaza at the intersection of Canal and Granger Roads is one of a wonderful surprising deli, coffee shop, wine and cigar store. From the outside you would never what you find inside. Walking in Gourmand's you find a very nice and well organized shop. Half the room is set up with tables that you can seat yourself at, the decor is attractive and casual. I found myself almost overwhelmed by the huge menu boards with more choices then you would expect. Luckily the menu is well organized so I zeroed in on the fish and seafood choices and ordered the Shrimp Poboy. Since I was taking it with me, they packed the vegetables and sauces on the side so everything was perfect when I put it all together at work. The sandwich was excellent, a large portion of battered shrimp were crispy and plump. The bun was toasted nicely, crisp and tasty. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and crunchy. The sandwich came with a tangy homemade tarter sauce and zippy sirancha. All of the elements worked well together and it was as good as I have had in Cleveland. Stopped by for a second visit and had to try the Redfish Sandwich based on the review by Jason Y. He was so right as this is one of the best fish sandwiches I have had. You get 3 good sized fillets of ocean perch with a crispy coating, a very good and very hot sauce, coleslaw on slices of excellent toast. The fish was perfectly cooked with the hot sauce just at the edge of being too hot, but then balanced by the crisp and cool slaw. The only problem I had with the sandwich is that it was messy to eat; I would rate this as a 4-5 napkins required. Gourmand's lives up to its name, the food is excellent and you get great food for a reasonable price. If you are anywhere close, check them out. read more

One of the best delis I've had! Love going here during the work week! All the workers are extremely nice. I've had a couple items from the menu but keep finding myself getting the Hawaii Five-Oh every time I come back! It's very flavorful as large! All the flavors of this sandwich come together very well. If you come here anytime between 11:30-12:30 you will have to wait a good amount of time for your sandwich. read more

Uh-Mazing sandwich shop!!! Gourmand's is a wonderful sandwich shop located at the bottom of the Valleyview valley. They specialize in sandwiches that will tantalize the tastebuds and comfort the belly. When you see the size of their menu, it may shock you, so be prepared. When you walk in, go just passed the register and order in front of the menus. They want you to order, grab your drink from the cooler, and take a seat. They'll call your name when your deliciousness is ready to be enjoyed. Don't fret your pretty little head about paying until you're ready to leave. Now, while you're gawking at their almost endless menu, be sure to consider their sides and other creations along with your sandwich. Also, while waiting for your sandwich, be sure to peruse their interesting cigar offerings (if you're into them), along with their wonderful coffees. The coffee can be enjoyed there, but both are available to go. Trust me, these sandwiches will have you coming back for more and very soon! read more

Gourmand's - The FANTASTIC pork cutlet sandwich! - Delis Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

Excellent and the Buffalo Bill sandwich is delicious. If you are in the Valley View area make sure to stop by you won't regret it!

This place is fantastic. So many tasty sandwiches to pick from. They have salads also, but the sandwiches, oh my. They are very busy during weekday lunch hours so please call ahead. If you do walk in not uncommon to wait 20-30 minutes during lunch. The food is worth it. My wife swears by the salads. They break down the sandwiches by type, Vegan, Pork, Beef, Chicken. They have pretty good coffee and smoothies. For those that like a good cigar talk to the boss, they have a good selection. read more

Gourmand's is awesome! One of the best sandwich spots in NEO. I definitely recommend trying any of their sandwiches for lunch.

This place is right down the street from where I work. This is the second time being here and both times were amazing. It's a little shop that offers sandwich, salads, soups, coffee and also they have alcohol and cigars which is surprising. The staff are very friendly and it's always very busy during lunch time. I've had their Cajun chicken sandwich the first time and a BLT the second time. Both sandwich were amazing, very tasty and price are very reasonable. I highly recommend if in the area and will gladly come back to this place for lunch or a cup of coffee while working nearby. read more

Great food. Fresh and very delicious. I had a bagel and lox and a polish boy. The lox was marvelous it melted in your mouth. Polish boy very good. Sausage had a just the right spices.and the toppings were spot on. Maybe the best I've had. While waiting for my order owner offered me a coffee. Which was very good also. Staff was friendly and very considerate. If in a hurry you should phone your order in. read more

So I am not one to gush in my reviews, but OH MY GOODNESS, I would give Gourmand's 6 stars if I could! On the way to a work meeting, my team met up at Gourmand's for a quick coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I am a big latte fan, but this hazelnut latte was delicious! I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant. It is very possible this is the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had! First, it was huge and the croissant was so fresh. After making it, it looked like it may have gone on a panini press and it was absolute perfection. My co-worker and I are big unsweet tea fans. Everything pre-made/pre-packaged in the coolers were sweet teas. So they freshly brewed unsweet tea just for us. It was fantastic. In fact, after our meeting we went back for more tea. So not only was the staff super great and the food amazing, but this little store has everything you need. Craft beer, wine from around the world, cigars from around the world, a great selection of local chocolate bars (from Malley's) and a hug menu of breakfast and lunch items. I wish Gourmand's was in my backyard! I cannot wait to go back! read more

I saw this place featured in one of the Yelp weekly emails and I knew I had to try it right away! They are only open until 3pm and only during the week, but luckily I was only working half a day so I could run over and grab a variety of goods off the menu. I was waited on by one of the owners and he was so patient with me while I figured out what to order. I LOVE that they let you get half sandwiches without charging you extra, it's no big deal to them and they actually wish more people would do that so they could try more off the menu. Also, they don't mind a little customization so if you want to add garlic mayo or swap out grilled mushrooms for grilled zucchini on your sandwich no problem! I went with four halves (two total sandwiches), an order of homemade chips and a side of coleslaw. While I waited for my order to be ready I perused about the store and saw that they offer a variety of wine, craft beer, cigars, chips, coffee, and sodas. To me it seemed like a great place to pick up quality items for a tasty lunch without encountering things like Miller Light or Lay's Potato Chips. I also noticed that I had just walked in before a rush! This place gets pretty busy but staff stays calm and friendly which makes you chill out too even with 15 people standing around you in a small space. When my order was ready I paid a reasonable price and was surprised to have four cookies from a local place thrown into my bag. Hells yeah! Now time for the food: No meager fillings for these sandwiches! While all were good, my favorite was probably the The Philly. Just hearty messy no frills goodness. The Gobbler was similar but had a kick to it, there had to have been some hot peppers in there! Cajun Redfish had a great crust and flavor while the Apple Porkling was good even eaten cold the next day. My order of homemade chips and dip was huge and I had to break that up into a couple meals as well. It was nice to have some crunch to go along with the sandwiches. The coleslaw was lackluster, but still fine for a topping on some of the sandwiches. The cookies, oh man there was this oatmeal apple one, this chocolate and nut one, oatmeal raisin and this one with toffee or caramel? I had a bite of each but my favorite was the chocolate and nut one, just soft and delicious. All in all my first visit here was a success! I am bummed about the hours though, I'm not really able to stop in again unless I have time off from work. So go in my Yelp friends and eat up the sandwiches for me! read more

Amazing sandwiches that I highly recommend. One note: call ahead if you are in a hurry as sandwiches this good are in great demand and wait times can be long. read more

Delicious soup and salads they give you enough also Just have to get there before it's gone

Favorite deli spot in Cleveland. Their hours are from 6am to 3pm most of the time but you know the food is good if they are able to close so early in the day. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you and you see a huge menu written on a chalkboard overhead. They have so many options from poultry, beef, seafood, to delicious breakfast sandwiches. My favorite go to is the Cajun redfish. Hands down, best fish sandwich I've ever had and I usually get this when I come in. Occasionally I will try a different sandwich but man is the fish sandwich good. Everyone should try it out if they like fish! They also have hot chocolate and good coffee. Their beans are from Rising Star so you know it's good. Nice and hot. They also sell beer, wine, and cigars so go check this place out if you have a chance! read more

I have only had the salads and cookies from Gourmand's and let me tell you, they are the best salads! It does not matter if you are buying a salad in the middle of winter, the lettuce and other toppings are ALWAYS fresh. The turtle cookie is to die for! The cookies are also homemade and made with so much love. It's convenient for those who are working because not only you can call but you can fax your order in also. But the downfall is that they are only open Monday-Friday and they close early, I think 2pm. read more

Love this place! Definitely my most favorite deli in Cleveland! They are very friendly and the atmosphere is amazing. Not to mention I've tried several sandwiches there from the breakfast, turkey club and there Rueben's and everything is delicious. Would recommend to give them a try !! read more

I was in the Independence area for work and was told by a co-worker to check out Gourmands. I did just that and found the experience to be the definition of old-school customer service and quality. Everyone is super friendly and the food is probably the best deli-style sandwiches in Cleveland. Incredible experience all the way around highly recommend Gourmand's, especially if you are from out of town and don't know where to get great food or you are a foodie who likes to support the local economy. Gourmand's gives you all of that but make sure to call ahead to order. read more

I can't believe I have never left a review. This place is amazing. I have never one time ever gotten something that was "ok." Everything is delicious. The coffee Is pretty amazing also. He makes alot of his own stuff. It's pretty impressive. Then not to long ago they started carrying craft beer. Some good one of a kind stuff. Not to mention everytime I'm there I get baked goods and delicious cookies. Must try. It's all amazing read more

This is the PERFECT little place located in the valley (Valley View) across from Burger King and next to Schwebel's Outlet. Prices are decent. You DO get what you pay for and it's worth it! I ordered a Polish Boy and it was COVERED with probably 4oz of coleslaw. It appears that a LOT of their items are made by hand or it's their own recipe from the coleslaw to the chicken soup, you could tell the carrots were cut by hand. Gourmand's makes their own coffees, sell beer, cigars and other items making it a one stop shop for just about anyone looking for breakfast, brunch or lunch. It's worth checking out as their menu is HUGE and several options are available. You can order to go or dine in as there about a dozen set of tables to sit at. They also have unique fountain and bottled sodas to try. We'll definitely be returning to try something else on the menu. read more

Service was absolutely amazing. If you get a chance to stop by, you should. We had the Hawaii 5.0 and the not your regular baloney. Talk about amazing. The Hawaii gets a 4.5/5 but the baloney talk about out of this world. Made by an artisan nearby the flavor was unbelievable. The flavor was natural and juicy with just the right amount of cheesiness. To be honest this place is on point with Kat'z deli in NY city. Amazing, and tons of options to choose from. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while since it's just down the hill from me and I've heard good things about it and they didn't disappoint. Went in for lunch and got the Triple B Melt with a cup of soup and coffee. The portions were large and the food was tasty. My favorite part was the broccoli and cheddar soup made in house by the shop owners wife. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff was very friendly. I was surprised by the extensive menu considering the size of the place. It was slightly overwhelming but we explained it was our first time and they were more than happy to walk us through the process. I would definitely recommend and visit again but it was a bit more than I would like to spend to make it an everyday lunchtime stop. read more
