Les B.

Cute place and was really excited to try a new Deli that looked and sounded delicious. I came in with high expectations. There was a gazillion sandwiches that all sounded wonderful and I ended up choosing the turkey avocado. The turkey avocado was a good size and had fresh ingredients, yet it lacked taste. Ordered a couple of sides which were the potato salad, the macaroni salad, and the pasta salad. We also ordered the ceviche and the plantains. This is where things took a quick turn, the potato salad had an odd aftertaste, the macaroni salad was not that great, and the pasta salad was soggy and drunched with Italian dressing. The ceviche had no flavoring at all and I actually came home and put my own cilantro, garlic, and lime juice in it to zhuzh it up a bit. The plantain was the nail in the coffin, it was a whole plantain and it wasn't even cooked through all the way. I am also used to plantains being sliced up and more tasteful this wasn't at all. it came accompanied with was some type of icing on the side to mask what it would have tasted like. I took one bite of that and threw the rest of it away. I spent about $60 on my order and that was without the tip. I was really looking forward to this being a new favorite spots when I travel to that area but unfortunately I may have to pass up on this. I would possibly be open to hearing about other options, but I am very weary since so many things that I had purchased on the first run were unsatisfying. Parking is limited to about 8 cars. Now I do have to say that all the crew members were very polite and there was lots of personable customers there. They're was also a nice outside area that is covered to sit under as well, so those were the pluses.

Great bang for your buck deli spot!! Very casual with a nice selection of both hot and cold sandwiches. I thought my turkey and avocado sandwich was solid, but enjoyed my boyfriend's hot sandwich that he got more. There's also a huge fridge with tons of drink selections. I do question the cleanliness of this place a little just because the tables had crumbs and I noticed small fruit flies in the display case where they had their muffins.

This has quickly become my go-to spot for a great, affordable bite. It genuinely feels like a NYC-style deli dropped into downtown Raleigh. The food punches way above its price point with quality ingredients, generous portions, and everything I've had has been dialed in. I came in for breakfast and was impressed enough to come back for dinner the same day, which says a lot. The sandwiches are the highlight, but the street tacos were a surprising win too. Looking forward to working through more of the menu, but this is already one of the best deli options in Raleigh.

I ordered from Oakwood Deli for the first time via Postmates and it was pretty tasty! I've been looking for a new place that delivers besides Bruegger's because my absolute favorite spot doesn't decline to our area. I'm also from NYC and know a good bagel. I ordered a build your own bagel with egg whites, bacon, and American cheese. I also added a side of breakfast potatoes that was served with peppers and onions. The bagel was pretty good. It was definitely more of a New York style than Bruegger's. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and flavorful. The bagel was a little bit soft and could've been more toasted, but still very good. I would surely order from here again and glad I found it. Looking forward to trying some other menu options!

Nice range of subs and sandwiches. Had the classic Roast Beef sub. They serve Boars Head provisions so you can never go wrong with that. Very popular at lunch. Limited space in parking lot but street parking was plentiful.

Yo , if you're from new york , you need to go to this deli , the chop cheese off the chain. And when you walk in there , it looks like the delis in new york i would recommend this place.I got a salad and I got the chopped cheese off the chain

So i'll remember the damn address!

Got a hidden gem here - I'm so impressed by the selection, cleanliness, organization, customer service, yadda, yadda, yadda!! Salads, sandwiches, taco and breakfast are all waiting ( well, they did run out of biscuits @ 4pm, but it says all day....) I've been twice and gotten the burger (excellent) and a fried chicken wrap the second time. Both times I couldn't turn down their excellent espresso drinks. I love consistency in a venue and this place HAS IT! I'll be recommending out of towners in need of a deli fix, right here! Parking is small, due to the patio area, but street parking was available both times, without a meter, residential or time restraint.

I wanted a breakfast burrito and after looking at their reviews, I decided to take the drive from Cary. This place is amazing. I got the breakfast burrito with steak and a slice of Coconut cake. Both were amazing. The burrito is so stuffed that I expected it to come apart, which it did. My only gripe is why are the floors so slippery inside? It seems like they are greasy or something. I almost slipped twice. Incredible place though

Terrific deli! Tried the West/Nasty, which combines breaded chicken with ham and spice in the way of jalapeños and pepper jack cheese with Sabi sauce. Delicious! Red potato salad also great. Amazing variety of beverages: I tried a sparkling grapefruit soda by Betty Buzz which is a brand I have wanted to try. Steady customers while we were there. There are about 15 tables inside and outdoor seating also available which is a nice option. So many sandwich options (they use boar's head), including breakfast types and also burgers, tacos, quesadillas, burritos.....something for everyone!

My sister and I just dined here. Sully is the GOAT and he should get a raise. He did not tell me to say that. Anyway our food was delicious and fast!!!

Chopped Cheese
Mitchell S.

Huge menu and everything looked amazing but had to get a chopped cheese. Great service, food came out quick and it was amazing

This is pics of the roast beef.

Great food at a great price. I ordered The Legend a roast beef sandwich with cheddar cheese, bbq sauce and onion. It was served hot and fresh. Very tasty. Only $11. Way better than anything you'd get at a chain sandwich shop. Served with a dill pickle spear. 2 sandwiches, 2 beverages and an order of fries for about $37 including tip. Inside is clean and staff is friendly. Only negative would be the lack of parking. We were there around 2 in the afternoon and the place had a steady stream of customers. They also serve all day breakfast, burgers and tacos/burritos as well as custom beverages. Give them a try.

The food is absolutely amazing with crêpes ranging from sweet to breakfast to savory and of course moore hardy varieties. Avocado toast is fantastic by itself. It's a full meal all by itself and I could barely finish it all. Needless to say, the portions are hardy, and are big enough to share. Their service is fantastic very attentive without being invasive and they let you hang out for as long as you want. Located in the hart of downtown Raleigh parking is not difficult, but you may have to walk a few blocks to get here.

Food was good I got shakshouka crepe and a espresso martini. I thought the espresso was well…read morebalanced and flavorful rich with nice balance. The shakshouka crepe was disappointing because while it had good flavor did not have the taste of shakshouka. No rich tomato flavors, cumin, or paprika. It was overwhelmed by the veggies places in it. The sauce was too little to balance out. Unfortunately because of those reasons it tasted pretty bland. Honestly, I would have gotten something different if I knew it was not really shakshouka. Service was good and they checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. It has a nice interior and patio.

I try a new coffee shop every Saturday and today it was Benelux…read more There isn't a lot of street parking, but there is an underground garage behind it, which is so convenient. It's located next to Village District. I was greeted immediately by a nice young man. I asked for his hot food suggestion, and of course he suggested the waffles! I ordered a waffle with fresh bananas and Nutella...every bite was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a lavender latte and loved it. They sell scones from a local vendor and I had a gluten free orange cranberry scone which was also delicious. Benelux is spacious and has plenty of seating. Tables, high tops and even a couple of comfortable love seats.

I usually leave a $3-$4 tip because I appreciate good service. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have been extremely disappointing. There is one young man who consistently makes my coffee very well, but when other employees prepare it, the quality seems to be very inconsistent. On a previous visit, I ordered a Pumpkin Spice coffee that was unbearably bitter and overly sweet at the same time. I ended up throwing away almost $8 worth of coffee. On top of that, I was overcharged $7 for an empanada and had to bring it to their attention the following day. Unfortunately, my experience today, October 10, 2026, was just as disappointing. I ordered a coffee and a pastry, paid approximately $12, and left a tip. The coffee tasted terrible and was extremely bitter. When I politely informed the employees, instead of offering to remake it, I was told to take some sugar packets and add sugar myself. Seriously? I am paying for a properly prepared coffee, not for someone to tell me to fix a bad drink myself! I only took two sips before leaving the coffee on the table and walking out. I have no problem paying $10 or more for a good coffee, but the quality and customer service need to justify the price. Sadly, this café is no longer the place I remember and seems to have gone downhill. I will not be returning, and based on these experiences, I cannot recommend this café. There are other coffee shops that offer better coffee, friendlier customer service, a more enjoyable atmosphere, and better value for your money. Save your money and explore other coffee shops. You deserve better quality and better service!

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

I tried the passionfruit mango cruffin and the brown butter crookie. Both were spot on with their flavors.

There's one spot to order, though they do a brisk takeout business. Once ordered, items come out quickly. There is some seating, and if you order to stay, then they'll bring your items to the table. The vibe is bright and semi industrial with some pastel colors to soften it up. I love the bright windows, even if you're just looking out on the car's parked right outside!
