    Egg, Cheese, and Bacon on Challah Roll

    Ooey gooey good breakfast sandwich! The cheese just melts! Staff friendly and I got my order in minutes!

    lox and cream cheese

    ********Still a rough Gem! ******** Little Pickle is a small Jewish Style Deli (at the moment possibly moving) in the Esplanade across the street from Biltmore Fashion Shops. This is a casual order at the counter type of place without wait service. Most people do take out here. I was going to drop them one star because the brisket that I just tried was still good but not phenomenal with that really incredible burnt onion taste like last time. The brisket I recently tried seemed sort of over seasoned to me and slightly too salty. I couldn't downgrade them because the pastrami even on an off day is still many times better than what you'd get from any other similar deli. On my last visit I found out that the LOX IS THE BEST that you can get anywhere in metro Phoenix. Most similar deli places just buy the lox pre-sliced. At Little Pickle they make their own and hand slice it. The LOX is a VERY BEST of Phoenix. This restaurant still has very limited hours. It's next to impossible for some people to make it there (Monday - Friday only) You need to check for the current hours. *****The BEST Jewish Style Deli that Phoenix has to offer!******

    Says open daily

    Great food. Friendly staff. Management reached out me to resolve an issue. Thank you for that.

    Little Pickle has been open for less than a month, but I've been twice already (two days in a row) and cannot wait to return... I have three words for you: "The Works Bagel." Yes, I ordered this on my first visit and again the next day because it was just so delicious! Also, Xochitl was the barista behind the corner on both of my visits and damn does she make a good almond milk latte! The first visit I did take-out with my sis-in-law and the second visit was a sit down work breakfast meeting... The wi-fi was strong and Hailey P and I found it to be a perfect place to work. I look forward to returning soon -- likely to order "the works bagel" (because how can I not), but I also cannot wait to try so many of the other menu items ie: the overnight oats, chia seed pudding, matzo ball soup, deli sandwiches, salads and more. I know this concept is just a pop-up for now, but I hope it sticks around permanently, as it's a great addition to the breakfast / lunch dining options in the area. Note: as other reviewers mentioned, you can park in the Esplanade parking structure and Little Pickle will validate... easy, peasy. Enjoy!

    Happy customer @ 7 am!

    Popped in at 7 am and what a great start to the day :) Never have I ever had SUCH a good bagel in Arizona, like wow. Let's be clear, this is the Jewish deli PHX has needed for years! The ambiance, decor, and vibe are all on point especially for a pop up location. Xochitl was super helpful, pleasant, & our coffees were delicious. Will be going back for sure!

    Matzoh Marble Soup??? Are you kidding me with these abominations? Also, a fairly small soup serving also.

    It's getting a very gracious 3 from me. The Good: Pastrami was fantastic and on point. Homemade rye bread, too. The Pastrami sandwich, a 9/10 for me. Bagel, lox and cream cheese (part I): Bagel was fine. Their custom cured Lox was excellent flavor and texture. Homemade cream cheese was deeelicious. Coffee for a dollar. No complaints on that and the coffee was good. The Bad: "Matzoh Ball Soup" should've been called matzoh marbles at best. Looked more like a jewish deli hate crime. Very small soup serving on top of it. Can't even comment on the soup as I was so taken aback by the rest of it. (see pic) Bagel, lox and cream cheese (part II): Compare the pictures what I was served and others (have posted they were) served. Or the open faced pictures set up for reviews. Anyone who's ever ordered a bagel/cream cheese anything combo knows that eating it as a sandwich makes a big mess because of the soft ingredients. That's why NOBODY eats it that way. I even asked if I could have mine open faced and was told no. And, as I said above, while the ingredients were all very tasty, the end result was a messy, unsatisfying mess. Location: Nearly impossible to find the first time unless you're very familiar with the area. Needs some signage from anywhere a car can go by. Easy parking (free valet even) once you know where it is. The OK: We tried a couple of the various pastries and they were nice. Would I go back? 50/50 right now. It's a bit of a drive for me and unless they improve the whole lox and bagel thing, it'd only be for the pastrami sandwich - which I'll reiterate - is fantastic and easily the best I've had in AZ since moving here over a decade ago.

Thank you unofficial yelpees for the later raid since I am so clueless lately. I needed this getaway from being a plain Jane. Even though I got the regular burger my life was so complete when they told me you could get these things as a salad too and I was late to the game so I had to go back and ask them to change it and they STILL gave it to me!!! And then they ended up giving me a sandwich with no charge because I guess they forgot and I had wanted to try the Kona bun so badly but I never got the chance to since they were out. Honestly that makes me sad but it gives me another reason to go back. Also...must get the Fresno sauce. Never going back to just hot hon or simple. I need both Fresno and the original on the regular. I need need need it. ‍‍‍ I honestly didn't have much room for the ube tres leches by the time I devoured the freebie burger bc I was so starved and also excited. My yelpies can attest that I sounded like I won the lottery when they called my name for the second order as well with my cake but honestly I had to eat the whole burger cus it's been so so long since I've had a burger and I had to recreate the Kate Hudson scene from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It was my one chance to unofficially stuff my face with confidence on my side. And I'm so glad I did. Thank you Stoop Kids ‍‍

The third order finally had tomatoes, but it was absolutely loaded with cream cheese after I specifically asked for very light cream cheese. Three attempts to make a simple bagel correctly while the restaurant was nearly empty is unacceptable. This place used to be good, but the service has clearly gone downhill. There were at least six waiters walking around, yet nobody checked on our table or even offered a coffee refill. Attention to detail and customer service seem to be a thing of the past here. Very disappointing.
