It's 1934. And the founder, Herman Miller decided to serve ice cream (and burgers) to patrons in the local West Seattle neighborhood. Since then, the Husky Deli has been serving the greater Metropolitan Seattle and King County area for decades! When you enter, you feel the history of the building. But you are definitely attracted to the treats inside. Signature handmade ice cream cones and shakes, as well as a very busy sandwich deli that dominates the center of the space. Roast beef, fresh shaved ham, sliced turkey and choice bread... its all there. The deli is also a specialty novelty store with different crackers, cookies and other delights from places around the world. Also, don't forget to grab and purchase your favorite beverage in the back. You can also get some bulk chocolates and confectioneries if your sweet tooth needs a little extra reinforcement. If you're in West Seattle, and in need of real ice cream, and a real deli, hand made sliced bread sandwich, come on by in any season to the Husky Deli! read more

I ordered a make-your-own sandwich with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard and it was yummy, but the service was slow and they were out of all but two kinds of bread which was disappointing. read more

Terrible customer service. Sandwich was made wrong and the clerk told me I ordered it wrong. He was very rude. Not going back

If I were in an episode of Leave it to beaver or a sit come of that era, this deli takes me back in time. The college students working their summer and part time jobs, a vintage 50's car parked outside, and kids buying soda pop for a nickel and root beer floats. The sandwiches are the star here. They seem old fashioned style, the kind made in small towns and the condiments are always fresh. The ice cream is good and tastes homemade. The homemade taste is one that came before gourmet or all the fancy flavors. There's a simplicity here that is hard to find in ever changing Seattle. I come to West Seattle just for this deli. read more

the food was just way too expensive for the quality it was, it took about 20-25 minutes for our food to come out and dont get me wrong i work food service as well so i understand having a bad day but the workers were honestly just a little rude. unfortunate experience. i'm glad other people had better ones. read more

This is a solid choice for ice cream in the West Seattle Junction. When the weather is nice, there's always a line for ice cream. Today I got coffee oreo and reeses, and both flavors were really yummy. I can't speak to the deli offerings as I've only come here for ice cream. read more

Our family really likes this deli but after ordering sandwiches over 5 different visits only once have they made our sandwiches with the items we ordered. One time they put insanely spicy mayo on one of the sandwiches. The other time they just missed half the ingredients we ordered. This last weekend we ordered 3 sandwiches and again they made them wrong and missed half of the ingredients. On top of that it took 35 minutes to get our 3 sandwiches. I was watching the nice employees making the sandwiches and they spend way too much time chatting with each other not paying attention to what items they are supposed to be putting on customers sandwiches. After our last visit we will not be coming back to Huskys. read more

Husky deli has really amazing sandwiches. I got to try the "Junction" and "Jack's special". They have really good deli meats and cheese and a wide selection of goods which are from Canada, UK and Europe. They had a variety of Olive Oils, Jams, Marmalade and Breads. I got the focaccia bread and the sandwiches were delicious. The sandwiches used their fresh meats and cheese. They were pretty decent in size and enough for a lunch portion. The staff were very friendly and service was very quick. The store has a classic and charming vibe. I definitely want to come back to try their ice creams. read more

Jack and his crew are the best, and Husky Deli is an institution in west Seattle. You just can't go wrong. read more

Quick and easy service for both the deli and ice cream! I got the grilled chicken and pesto half sandwich and Rosie's half sandwich (subbed ham for turkey). The chicken pesto on focaccia bread was delicious! Focaccia was perfectly crunchy, buttery and tasty! Sandwich overall was really good. I wish there was a bit more pesto and more flavor. Hot sauce would've been really good with it. Rosie's sandwich was just ok. Nothing great about it. Ice cream flavors were all really good! read more

We both had the ultimate vegetarian sandwich and it was insane! So so good! I especially love the crunchy focaccia. The owner is so nice and spreads the friendly atmosphere that this deli provides! read more

Such a great local spot in West Seattle! The ice cream line seems to always be long with customers of all ages. The sandwiches here are also worth coming for! Jack's special: a panini pressed sandwich on focaccia with prosciutto, coppa, salami, mozz, and basil. This is a veryeay forward sandwich and so good! I think next time I would get this with a pickle or something fresh because it gets pretty heavy after the first couple of bites Husky flake and root beer ice cream: these have been my favorite two flavors so far! Husky flake has small flakes of chocolate which I love and the root beer ice cream tastes like the creamy top of a root beer float. SO GOOD read more

They are open till 7 but don't answer the phone after 6:30, just FYI! I imagine they'll make you a sandwich if you are there in person.

We decided to go here for brunch. We got some sandwiches and they were all good. The bread was a little hard but not a big problem. We also got the ice cream they have by the door and that was amazing! They have unique flavors but also more mainstream ones if you aren't feeling adventurous. There's also plenty of seating inside and the staff is super friendly. would come here again. read more

Sandos are always excellent, but we had a most fantastic experience with catering. Jack and team did a wonderful job for my dad's memorial service. The meat, cheese and fruit trays wowed everyone and were delivered as promised. My dad would have loved them. Made my family very happy. Thank you!!! read more

great ice cream with so many different flavors at a very good price. i got the double scoop with cookie dough and reese's for $6. i just wish they were open later than 7 read more

The BEST ice cream I think I've ever had. They pack in the ice cream, so you get the most ice cream possible in every size! I come back here all the time, and cannot get enough of it. My favorite is their Oreo! read more

I love the Hairbo Grapefruit candies but apparently they no longer package them separately. Heidi, the owner, picked them out of the Fruit Salad mix. So amazing! I would leave seven stars if i could. read more

This place is so cute and honestly a hidden gem! There are a lot of great ice cream flavors and food options. There are sandwiches, soups, fresh salads, and a whole market portion of the restaurant. The food was made quickly and there is plenty of seating for large or small parties. read more

A neighborhood tradition. Long established deli, ice cream shop and specialty foods. The ice cream is well loved, traditional flavors. Has outlasted the chain competitors that have moved in. Homemade waffle cones. Deli sandwiches and good boxed lunches at a fair price. You can also find specialty import foods (i.e. European specialities, candies, ingredients). Just be sure to check the expiration date...that is the one thing Husky sometimes slips up on. There probably isn't a huge turnover on some of that stuff. And the staff is nice. And they employ local teens. Delivery and catering too. They seem to have cut back their evening hours as of late, but they have a walk up ice cream window. Their ice cream is better than Molly Moon's hands down, if you can forego trendy flavors. My favorite part is eating my ice cream while studying the world maps that line the back entrance way. read more

I placed my order early this morning over the phone and was very clear that I only wanted chicken and eggs on my sandwich. When I picked it up, I even asked to confirm it was made correctly. Unfortunately, when I got to work and finally opened it, I found what looks like ham or turkey neither of which I eat. This is the second time this has happened, and it's honestly very frustrating. I really expected better attention to detail read more

I asked for a pint of soup and the stout short-haired woman who took my order tried to sell me a sample-sized container, saying it was a pint. I just walked out and let them keep the $4.97 I gave them. They need it more than I do. read more

I love Husky Deli! I was born and raised in West Seattle and have grown up going to this store. The owner and his family, Jack, are pillars in the West Seattle community and are always friendly faces to anyone who walks in the store. The ice cream is the best I ever had: yes, better than salt and straw and Molly moon's. So creamy and unique and delicious flavors like Reese's, Swiss chocolate orange, root beer, and their special husky flake. My person favorite is the mint Oreo ice cream! Beyond ice cream, they have fantastic sandwiches and deli items, as well as European groceries. A perfect place to stop for lunch or some unique offerings. They also cater events, and catered my high school graduation party. The food was incredible and once again I am always impressed with Jack's attention to detail, kindness, and service. We love you Husky Deli! read more

The home made ice cream delicious. I got the mint chip. They have Oreo mint chip but I went with the mint chip and I loved it. Good portions. read more

This place has charm but my god are they ripping you off with sandwich size and Ingredients. Went here because of the reviews but will not be returning. The ice cream looks good and the staff is nice but the size and price of my Italiano sandwich does not make any sense. Came here to save money before heading to the airport and grab something to go. But do NOT make the same mistake I did. The sandwich is mid and the price is outrageous. The ambiance is fine I guess? I mean if you wanted to eat here you could. They have cute old time groceries but the sandwich took 10 mins to make...and for what?? 2 stars is being generous. read more

Husky Deli - A "whole" Italiano sandwich :( FOR $15 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cute family run store, great sandwich, super friendly service, and such a fun spot to have lunch. How can I give anything other than five stars? We met Jack, the owner, who was super friendly. I have fallen in love with this deli! I got a half Turkey Artichoke sandwich, and it was great! According to Jack, "West Seattle Rocks", which might be true, but I can tell you that Husky Deli is a great place to go for food and specialty shopping. I love it! read more

This is a old timey ice cream joint that feels like its been part of the neighborhood for a long time. The ice cream here is superior! Rich and creamy! I had a vegan pina colada scoop that was delicious and the portion was big. Honestly, I would get it to go next time and pour some sweet rum over it at home. Highly recommend. read more

We ordered ahead here over the phone and the food was ready when we arrived. There is only street parking or a paid lot behind the deli. I had to circle a few times to find a street spot, but it wasn't too hard and worth it. There is not a place to eat inside here as it is more of a grocery store. I did stumble upon their ice cream, which had some very unique flavors so I bought a half gallon to take home. This was rung up in a different transaction than my pre-order. It was lunch time, and even though they still had breakfast sandwich options available, I got the Italian. The bread was so good and the ingredients tasted fresh. The ratio of ingredients was perfect and the sandwich did not feel too heavy. Our whole party enjoyed the tub of ice cream I got and the Coffee Oreo flavor was awesome, with huge chunk of Oreo. The coffee flavor was strong as well, so an intense burst of flavor in your mouth. You must try this place! read more

They do have some interesting products. I particularly liked the selection of European milk chocolates. American milk chocolates is just sugar. The service is horrendous. The cashier needs a class in customer service. There was no greeting or offer to help even though she saw me standing there for several minutes. She doesn't seem to be knowledgeable of the products being sold. Horrible facial expression and demeanor. No smiles. The back helpers at least smiled and acknowledged my presence. The lady cashier with the glasses and long hair and large shirt, she was unhelpful. She started helping another customer in the middle of my transaction. I don't know if she is racist or just completely clueless. If I see her next time Im craving chocolate, I will pass. read more

This is always a stop when I'm in WS for my favorite, yet obscure, European products I'm used to having in my pantry. German mustards, muesli, tinned fish, spices, etc. The shop is clean and funky - it definitely has a college campus flair. Especially due to the fun team preparing the sandwiches and scooping the ice cream. The sandwiches are made to order and really tasty. The meatloaf was delish. And the ice cream options are plentiful. Thankfully they'll let you try just about everything while you're trying to decide. The scoops are huge and the waffle cone is yummers. I really liked that they asked my niece which flavor she wanted in the cone first - you gotta end with the most tasty choice! The flair, variety of European products, and the nice group of people working here take it to a 4. read more

Amazing ice cream and employees. We have consistently gotten incredible service from a young man named Everett. Thank you Everett for your great attitude you put a lot of heart into this beloved neighborhood spot. HANDS DOWN THEEE BEST OREO ICE CREAM IN SEATTLE!! If you are from Massachusetts and miss JP Licks' oreo ice cream this is Seattle's equivalent! read more

We've eaten here several times. Consistently they have great sandwiches. Try one on a baguette. It's worth the wait. The ice cream and chocolate covered cherries also are favorites. Staff are friendly and the place is clean. read more

Great service at the Deli! My wife ordered a Steak & Egg Breakfast sandwich. She didn't notice it had hot sauce. She DOESN'T do spicy. Not the Deli's fault. We spoke to Tom. He took care of her. That kind of service is rarely seen nowadays so when it happens I feel it should be recognized. Way to go, Tom. I wish we had more tummy space. The Ice Creams sound & look excellent! read more

This is not for the sandwiches (which are DELICIOUS, I particularly love the chicken avocado and sub the bread with marble rye, or the ice cream which is superb, hello Kona Koka Rum) or the ice cream because there are plenty of reviews, this is for the Thanksgiving dinner order because I have not seen a review for it yet. My family did not feel like cooking this year so decided to order the thanksgiving meal from Husky and so glad we did. The portions were way larger than expected and definitely had that homey taste we were hoping for...and we had the bonus of some of their delicious ice cream as part of the order. So.good. Will definitely order again! Thank you Husky for making a cozy holiday easy for us. read more

They shortened thier businesses hours due to "the increase in minimum wage". Plenty of good ice cream elsewhere and everything else they sell is cheaper anywhere else. After I commented on thier Instagram post they had crying about not being able to underpay thier employees anymore they blocked me and deleted the comment. Too bad you can't delete reviews huh? read more

Husky Deli is a West Seattle staple. If you're in West Seattle it's definitely a go-to. My only gripe is that it does take a long time for your sandwich to be made and there's only one register for the entire place it seems, so be prepared for that. There's a lot of options, the chicken sandwiches are great and honestly I don't think you can go wrong with trying whatever. read more

I can't speak for anything but the ice cream, since that was what drew me to this spot. We came by on our visit to West Seattle, and had heard good things about the ice cream here. Being someone who LOVES ice cream and basically cannot live without it, I was super excited to try. They let you sample flavors which was nice, as I couldn't decide between my go to mint oreo or the popular coffee oreo. I ended up with the coffee oreo, which had the perfect creamy texture, wasn't too sweet, and had plenty of oreo chunks inside - exactly how I like it :) Definitely stop by here if you want some ice cream! read more

Have been wanting to check out this place for their ice cream for the longest time and finally got a chance! In the past I wasn't able to spot by for a treat after dinner seeing the location closes at 7. But I was in the area and walked by at around 8:45 to see that they had an ice cream walk up window open until 9!! Of course I had to go get some, there was a short line but they were super quick and efficient. We were able to sample some of their flavors through the window, mind you can only get ice cream this time of night so the shop doors weren't open. They also only had one worker who seemed a little bit stressed. For the weather and time of night it was decently busy, which comes to show how good the ice cream is. For us, we settled on a couple different flavors and they were all delicious!! They were so rich and full of flavors with an amazing creamy texture. You can tell that love and high quality ingredients are put into the ice cream here. The worker was also so kind in telling us about the place and helping us pick out flavors. It was a little on the pricy side but never the less it was 100% worth it and I would definitely recommend trying the ice cream here!! read more
