Great deli especially if you're a dog lover! PureBread offers a range of great breakfast and lunch items including bagels, baked goods, sandwiches, soups salads and more. My favorite sandwiches are the Vizsla (a BLT of sorts) and the Golden Retriever (sub chicken for turkey). Either pair nicely with a beet salad, but my wife opts for tomato soup every time. (Try dipping your sandwich!) Food aside, PureBread's staff is awesome, friendly and upbeat, and their community vibe is complemented by an abundance of dog pictures and puns. Pro-Tip: They offer vegetarian and gluten free options. Ask the staff about recommendations and/or modified items. read more

Wow this place is sooo good!!! We came here after a long walk at White Clay Creek and it hit the spot.

The service was quick and everyone was very friendly. 10/10 recommend and we're def coming here again before we leave town!! read more

PureBread Deli - 1/2 golden retriever 1/2 tomato bisque. Soooo good!!! - Cafes Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Came with a friend. We were just wandering and took a chance. We're glad we did. The sandwiches are made fresh and the pastries look delicious but I don't have any room to try any. Will have to make a return trip just to try them. The young man at the counter didn't rush us and explained what was popular and trending. He was sweet because we asked for two different spreads because we were sharing and he was more than happy to oblige. The eating area is full of paintings of all different breeds of dogs. There's also a television with YouTube videos of dogs doing funny/silly things. We felt very comfortable & welcomed. The music was good and not too loud so we could talk without yelling. Definitely coming back! Thanks!! read more

We have been eating at the Pure Bread deli in Pike Creek for about 15 years now. It is always well staffed with competent attendants who provide great service. The food is always well prepared. Any Pure Bread deli has the same characteristics, competent staff, good food, and a sparkling, clean dining room. read more

Cute dog-themed deli -- Mom, my daughter, and I stopped here for a take-out lunch on a Friday afternoon after handling a bunch of business at the bank across the parking lot, and were really happy with the food, service, and attention to COVID safety measures. I had a cup of mushroom bisque and capresse salad, with prosciutto, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella over a bed of mixed greens, and drizzled with basil pesto and balsamic glaze. It was the perfect lunch. The soup was smooth and creamy and everything I wanted on a crisp fall afternoon, and the salad was large and filling, though I wish there was more prosciutto. (I always want more prosciutto.) Mom and my daughter also enjoyed their meals -- a Cobb salad with perfectly ripe avocado and grilled chicken, and a Golden Retriever (herb focaccia, turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, provolone and basil pesto), respectively. The focaccia was really good (I stole a bite) and didn't get overly soggy with the pesto, which was nice. If you're vegetarian, there are plenty of delicous-sounding options to enjoy, and the salads can be easily keto-fied, if that's your thing. Inside, there was limited seating (because COVID), but plenty of space between the tables that were still open. The staff all appeared to be wearing masks and sanitizer was available and used by other guests who were ahead of us and popped in to pick up their orders. There are free dog-themed magnets, and adorable photos all around the restaurant -- they really went all-in with their theme, but it gave us some fun things to look at while we waited for our meal. If it had been warmer out, we might've actually eaten outside, where they had some tables set up near the entrance, but it was a little too cool and windy for that. The hardest part about our visit was the ordering -- they have a big variety of choices, which is nice because everyone can find something they like, but it takes a while to work through them all if it's your first visit. And my daughter is a huge dog lover, so she spent a lot of time debating her favorite dogs instead of debating what she likes to eat. For instance, she loves Black Labs (the dogs), but not roast beef or horseradish (which is what's on the sandwich). The breakfast menu had some really amazing sounding options, too -- breakfast BLT, sunrise sandwich (egg & cheese sandwich on a toasted bagel/croissant/english muffin, with your choice of cheese and either bacon, ham, turkey or sausage), and the bagels looked really good, too. Mom has returned since our last visit, but I haven't had a chance and will definitely return to try some of these breakfast sandwiches out! read more

An ideal location for grabbing breakfast, a snack, or lunch with a friend. The restaurant is situated near Goldey Beacom College and Pike Creek's shopping center. You will find ample free parking, a diverse selection of menu options, and a dog-themed, positive eating area, all complemented by friendly service. read more

Went today because I was in the area and needed a quick meal. I ordered online the golden retriever sando and the Cobb salad under the breeder combo (1/2 sando 1/2 salad). They gave me a 10 min wait time but it was done in 8. Inside was clean and quaint. The workers were friendly and enthusiastic in just the 3 secs it took me to pick up my order lol. The sandwich could've had more turkey (it was more bread than anything) but still tasty. The salad was more toppings than lettuce which was a bummer. It did curb my hunger but it seems like they may be rationing certain ingredients as I've been to PureBread locations in the past and never have felt this way. read more

What a great little spot! Lots of healthy and vegetarian options. I got the French Poodle sandwich, made on baguette with brie, spinach, tomato and turkey. Absolutely delicious, especially the champagne mustard that balances so well with the Brie. The restaurant was bright and clean, friendly service, ample indoor and patio seating. I'm pretty sure I've found my new regular spot. read more

Great food and friendly staff! The curry salad dressing is amazing! This is a place I frequent for a quick work lunch.

The food is delicious, and the prices aren't bad. The table was dirty when we say down, but the girl who worked here did ask if she could clean it as we sat down. I almost got the Cobb Salad, then I noticed the Lobster Bisque. It was all over at that point. The Lobster was real, and the Bisque was creamy and hot. My cohort got Turkey on Rye, and there was so much turkey she had to take some off. The Chicken Noodle Soup was full of noodely goodness too. They have some great desserts, high chairs available, and kids menus I would absolutely come here more Often, if it wasn't 4000 miles from home! read more

PureBread Deli - The menu is pretty large, and they let you substitute if you don't care for an item. - Cafes Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

PureBread Deli - Bagel And Lox - Cafes Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

I like the soup and sandwich option. I just wish they would change up their soup options a bit

Good sandwiches and offerings. Creative and fresh. Coffee good too. Outdoor space too if you want to enjoy that.

I think it's time to give up on Purebread Deli , I stopped in to the one on Rt7 near Hockessin and ordered a " Doberman " it's a Bagel with Lox and cream cheese , well as with many others things the price went up , which I completely understand, what I can't understand is why two of the five or so coffee options are empty, i mentioned this to the young woman at the register and as I write this , I'm ready to leave , no one has bothered to refill them , the one I got was room temperature so I asked her to " nuke " it for me , after 2 trips in the microwave it still was cold so I drank it anyway.The bagel was supposed to be a toasted everything bagel and what passed for that was a barely warm over cream cheesed compressed mess , it used to be such a treat to go here to eat , I'm sorry the place has fallen so far down but I guess this restaurant is a victim of the pandemic and staffing shortages , I couldn't recommend Pure Bread Deli to anyone read more

I REALLY enjoy their Smoked begal platter. With a small coffee it is $11.00. Been buying it for months. Best $11.00 I could spend. The place is very friendly, with the most friendly; JESS the manager. She has made it a point to know my fiancée's and my name, and always says hello by name. In this day and time, that action is very rare. read more

I really want to like this place and have come a few times. I tried the hummus plate and liked that-it's no longer available. Bagels are bad. Bad. Do not bother. Muffins are not worth it. Coffee is okay. A positive...this place is clean. read more

A solid local chain that offers a slew of sandwiches and soups. Think of it as a homey deli-shop but with a twist. We got some sandwiches to go, and they were all great. The basil pesto sandwich on ciabbatta with mozza, peppers, and chicken was flavorful and filling. The Newfoundland sandwich was melty and flavorful as well (if not a tad salty). The third with ham, turkey, and roast beef was packed and had a good bite. Service was patient and friendly, and the orders come out quickly. A great stop for anyone to enjoy a nice bite to eat. read more

Just went for dinner the first time. Basically it's Panera...but with some local dog theme going on (and bigger portions). I ordered a half soup half salad combo and was pleasantly surprised at how large the half salad was! Anyway the cobb salad was good. nothing really out of the ordinary, the sliced avocado was really nice. The parmesan kale italian sausage soup was very tasty. In reality it was a mostly parmesan soup with some tiny kale shreds in it, but the italian sausage was bountiful! Anyway for $9 i'm very full (unlike at panera) and the employees are much more pleasant than Panera. P.S. if you like coffee they have a WALL (there must have been around 20) coffee canisters all with different, exotic flavors of coffee. Definitely want to get some next time! read more

Purebred Deli has become a chain of stores now, and these stores are very well placed. Opposite the area's biggest hospital, which was remodeled to get more seating, and the dog photos that once graced their walls are now pedestrian in comparison. In Greenville's only little shopping area where there is no other competition, unless you go to Janssen's Market, which is in the shopping center just before their's, and has both a cafe and takeout that beats the pants off Purebred. The ambiance at Purebred is a tad better if that makes a difference to you. To me good food with little ambiance is fine, so long as the place is clean, and in Wilmington. If there are others, please excuse that I haven't looked for them. The variety of sandwiches, that were in the past, once lush with fillings, despite the supermarket tomatoes, have become smaller in size and have less of their fillings. They have also done away with so many sandwiches that your choices, once varied and interesting is down to a scant few. The muffins are big and have interesting flavors. I am not aware if Purebred uses local produce or Global Sysco for their food. My money is on the latter. The prices have gone up, though they were never inexpensive. The service has gone down, specifically at the Christiana and Greenville locations. The best I can say now is that, while I did love their Visla, (a BLT on focaccia with chipotle mayonnaise,) it was originally big enough that I could not finish it, I now am hungry after eating the entire thing. I would have winced a wee bit if they had raised the prices more but had left the sandwiches the same size. Where I once was a regular customer of Purebred, they have now become a very occasional place for me. First the change from the best coffee in the entire area to the same as any Wawa, then the pricey sandwiches that are not worth the price and a drop in service quality. They are a recognized name in this area and Delawareans are not that discriminating, for the most part, about what they eat. They have also chosen to stop serving pickles with the sandwiches, which is a shame: they were really good pickles. read more

One of the best places for soup and sandwiches in the area. Every time I visit my friend, I make her take me here because the food is unmatchable. Their iced tea is brewed to perfection, and everything is fresh, from the bread straight to the ingredients. There are some solid vegetarian options as well, and the service is grade-A. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food at a nice price. read more

Love this place for a quick , fresh lunch that wont have you ready for a nap. Yummy ingredients. The ability to create your own sandwich which for a foodie like me is a BIG deal. Mix and match different sandwiches to make something that is truly your own. My go to is lettuce, cheese, bacon, mayo and avocado on focaccia bread. I have just started trying their salad menu starting with the spinach salad and am only disappointed it took me so long to try one (I was just so hung up on the diy sandwich thing). They also do a good breakfast sandwich / wrap. Even their coffee and baked good are awesome (especially the pound cake muffin aka cake for breakfast!). Very well rounded establishment plus cute puppies on the wall ! read more

PureBread Deli - spinach salad ! - Cafes Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Went to lunch today at Purebread and it took me five minutes to decide what I wanted because everything sounded delicious! After contemplation, I decided on the combo with Tomato bisque soup and the Bulldog sandwich. The worker was very attentive and quickly came over when she noticed I was ready to order. Food was delivered promptly exactly how I ordered and tasted fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

The dog theme is a great idea but the food quality falls short. Very plain, very small, very over priced. You're better off just making a sandwich yourself. read more

What's wrong with Purebread and Panera Bread.....I just came from Purebread where I tried to buy one loaf of rye and at 8am, they wouldn't sell it to me. Previously, Panera Bread wouldn't honor an online order for bread placed at 7am for pickup at 1 pm. read more

Great local chain with a variety of soup and sandwiches as well as pastries. For those on a budget, the sunrise sandwich is delicious. Another favorite is the jack russel read more

This place has and always had bad customer service do not know why my daughter comes here because it's fast food to go but they need to clean up they act the food is not great for sandwiches but it need help get better people to work read more

Went there for the first time a week ago and was impressed with their corned beef Reuben, the Irish setter. Ready to go back and try more of their sandwiches! read more

Good sandwiches. Fast. Great service.

I was surprised to find that Purebread Deli has decided to stop making breakfast sandwiches (sunrise sandwiches) after noon. Since I work the second shift it was the reason I came in 3 or 4 times a week. Guess Dunkin' Donuts will be the only place in the Pike Creek area for breakfast during non traditional hours. I guess purebread deli stopped thinking differently read more

Great specialty sandwiches and soups. Good quick service for a quality eat-out lunch.

New to Delaware I thought I'd give it a try being that it's pretty close to my house; I'd like to find a quick place like this to eat when I don't feel like cooking myself. I ordered the Golden Retriever, overall it was pretty good, tasted fresh, and was enough for the price. Even the pickle I had as a side was fresh and crunchy, they're usually half the size and soggy at Panera. I like that it's not a chain, rather there's 5 locations throughout northern Delaware and SEPA. I'll probably be back to try other sandwiches. read more

The food is made quickly and there's great variety. Every dish I have ever ordered tasted fresh. They also have a variety of beverages, my favorite is the iced tea. In addition, I love all the pictures of dogs and the rolling stream of customer's dogs on the tv. A great place to go to for lunch. read more

Dog themed sandwiches. Great local chain. One of the best sandwiches you can have in pike creek

Very good sandwiches, salads and soups. Excellent breakfast selection in addition to a wide variety of creative sandwiches with a variety of breads. You can also buy the breads (fairly wide selection) and pastries (fairly small but tasty selection) if that is your wish. Eat-in or takeout are both good. Marginally more expensive than the Subway/Wawa fare but MUCH better quality. The comparison to Panera is interesting although I actually prefer the food here as well as it being a more generous portion. read more

Great place! One of my favorite places for lunch. Lots of choice, all delicious. Also the dog theme is very cute :)

Great lunch spot with a very friendly staff! Every time I am in the Wilmington area, I always save room for a sandwich from Purebread. I love the atmosphere and the awesome dog pictures that cover the walls. My personal favorite is the Jack Russell (chicken, bacon, cheddar, and ranch), but there are many other delicious options. read more

This is the best sandwich place ever. They also have good soup and various selection of muffins
