An American hero prepared with care, fresh soft hero bread, boars head cold cuts (roast beef, ham, turkey, yellow American cheese), fresh lettuce and tomato, garnished with Russian dressing (the cold water is over!) - I ordered this substantial sandwich today that hit the spot.

Over priced store :( if you have plenty of time, walk to whole foods (Some ready made items are 50% off. ) or 7-11 located next to W4 station. It's convenient location that right across from Washington square park. Open for 24/7 read more

Good food and great service. Super close to nyu. Grab a bite and hang out at the park.

Food 3 stars. One of my favorite convenient stores whenever I come to NYU area. Grab a quick takeout box, blend in the city vibe, and listen to my son playing piano in the Washington Square Park. Experience priceless! read more

crazy bacon egg and cheese does great things to me.... wonderful deli selection and fantastic sandwiches

I came here for a last-minute snack and I bought some Starbursts on my way to class. I loved how easy it was to find everything, they also had a large variety of food, drinks, and other things. They also have my favorite kind of mochi which is great for a pick-me-up. I did take notice of a few things. They do have a buffet option which isn't exactly sanitary, especially during a pandemic and they have a $5 credit card minimum for purchases which is ok, but when you need to put your change back in your wallet there isn't a lot of time between customers coming in to be able to efficiently get my stuff together and leave. I ended up dropping a lot of my change and things on the floor. It was a mess. Those are just little things but overall I really do like coming here. read more

Fresh Fruit Pro tip: When a trip to a grocery store feels overwhelming, they have a shocking large variety of amazing fresh fruit. It's expensive as all little markets are but when the grocery store feels overwhelming this is a worthy alternative. Multiple varieties of peaches, plums a variety of apples and even some exotics like dragonfruit. A great selection of sliced and packaged fruit--watermelon, mango, papaya as well in case you want to grab a package and hang in Washington sq park across the street. read more

What a deceptive storefront. It looks like one of those annoying overpriced produce markets from the window. And then you walk inside and discover that it's completely not what it seems. I'd estimate that roughly a third of the floor space is taken up by pre-fab food-by-the-pound style buffets. Salads and soups, hot foods, and even more tempting... a giant section of cheeses and crackers. Crap. I can already feel my willpower crumbling, just thinking about the selection. Escaping with my little bowl of soup was way more daunting than it ended up being; the line of roughly ten deep for checkout was managed handily in under five minutes by the staggeringly efficient cashiers shouting, "Next!" faster than I could imagine. NB: Apparently NYU students get some sort of student discount here. It took the cashier asking me three times before I understood that she was saying "NYU." I was like... "And why me, what?" read more

What an expensive ripoff. They changed 0.25 cents for bags that cost them 0.03ct. they charge 50ct for an extra soup cup, that probably cost them no more than 10 cent, if that. Most people that go there are NYU rich kids, so they don't care about getting d&$ked, but I do. read more

Very conveniently located in the midst of NYU buildings It's also great that they offer students and anyone with an NYU ID card a 10% discounts. It's not much but a discount is a discount. Unfortunately I'm not too big of a fan of their breakfast options like Bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Their lunch wraps and sandwiches are better but I feel like it's a bit bland and lacking in taste. The coffee is great though and I love how its self serve. The buffet in the middle is a hit or miss sometimes. It's not the best but they have varied options everyday. Also I wish they would put labels on the food because sometimes I don't know what I'm grabbing and it's a surprise when I bite into it after I buy it. They also have sushi options which is great but I don't like how it's so out in the open where bacteria can get in (they do have plastic Saran wrap as a cover but people don't always recover it after serving themselves and you never know if someone coughed around it, etc). Besides buying from the buffet or from the deli counter where they make sandwiches right on the spot they also have prepackaged food options like sandwiches, fruit, and pastires in the front. read more

I walked in today to buy a quick gluten free snack and called my sister on the phone to catch up. I was pacing up and down one aisle looking at food. I noticed one of the workers come to the aisle and stare me down. I knew something was off. A couple minutes later, he comes back and asks If I need help with anything. I tell him no. He proceeds to accuse me of stealing so I walk out of the store. My sister calls the store just after to tell them that their actions were completely unacceptable. The worker on the phone responds with "Why don't you come over and we'll deal with this in person." I cannot believe this place is still in business. I am appalled by the level of utter disrespect and unprofessionalism that they give their customers. I would give ZERO stars if possible. Never going back there again. read more

This is the only market I'll buy my produce at. The apples and other fruit are the best I've seen anywhere in the city. Contrary to other reviews, the staff has always been nothing but nice to me. They have the best buffet, great sandwiches at a great price without the bad attitude from the guy at the Subway around the corner. And it has the best little snacks and goodies that you don't find anywhere else. I love this place. read more

~If you're visiting NYC & want to try a local spot, Space Market is a must~ Fresh ingredients, great variety, large filling portion, custom-made, friendly staff, very reasonable prices and you it's steps away from Washington Square Park where you can enjoy your bagel and people-watch at the same time! read more

This place is consistently decently good, I work nearby and it's a good spot to grab a cheap and quick bite from the cold or hot bars. That being said, everything else is pretty expensive, so just keep an eye out. 10% off the cold and hot bars for NYU students. read more

Great neighborhood gourmet deli. I wish they could do something about the aggressive homeless man that begs for money at the front door. He's a drug addict and may be schizophrenic. I'm worried he's going to hurt someone. He threatened to kill me. read more

Hot bar's good. WOULD BE WARY OF THE CASHIERS OVERCHARGING / charging for miscellaneous items! On numerous occasions they have tried to charge me a bag fee (when I requested NO BAG) ranging from $0.10 to $1. Further, they have added random items to my order to up the charge. If you buy from here check the screen and make sure your order is correct. read more

Made the complete wrong thing, which I didn't realize until I unpacked it at home. Terrible service.

I was surprisingly satisfied with the pickings at Space Market. They have plenty to-go items, a sandwich counter, a salad bar, warm food buffet - and grocery items in the back! While it was crowded, there was plenty of space to move around. The store even carries fresh produce - and a lot of it. I also appreciated the quick check out. The cashier was checking out two of us at the same time! I will definitely be back for my to-go lunches. read more

When I was a student at NYU, this was my go-to snack place. They have lots of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Coffee's always hot, sushi's always cold. Plus 10% off for NYU affiliates! read more

Space Market is great to grab a muffin or packaged snacks but not for their deli or salad bar. Their sandwiches, bagels and paninis don't taste fresh and below average. The food at their salad bar tastes like it has been sitting out at room temperature...oh wait, it has been. Even with an NYU discount, I wouldn't opt for this to be my lunch spot. read more

Never again. The kimbap was cold and WET....isn't the store owner Korean? Does he not know what good kimbap taste like? Big yikes.

I passed this place yesterday afternoon, and pathetically I became excited to notice they have a hot food/salad bar - so I inquired re: how late the food would be available, since I couldn't return until several hours later. The two young women working at the cash registers were friendly and I did indeed return. The selection was decent, although not huge - including several different types of sushi - and it was the usual pricey $8.99/pound. I was very happy to discover that this store sells a health food juice which I've been unable to find anywhere for quite awhile, so I also got one of those. When I went to pay, the man at the cash register (who's apparently the same one several other reviewers have commented negatively about) was initially pleasant & patient when I left the food there and told him I needed to go retrieve my stuff (two heavy bags) from back by the food bar. I'd put the food into two of the plastic containers instead of just one because I didn't want the food to spill out on my way home, and he carefully wrapped everything in a plastic bag and included plenty of napkins plus utensils. I then asked him if he had (plastic) bags with handles, since the two containers were really stretching the (small) plastic bag and he would have had to put the (very tall & heavy) bottle of juice in a separate bag - so it would have been nearly impossible to carry them for any distance (and especially a lengthy one) because I already had two other (heavy) bags to carry. He did indeed have a plastic bag with handles - and I asked if he'd please "double-bag" it because the juice bottle together with the two containers of food was quite heavy and took up every inch of space, at which point he became very annoyed and *refused*. I then explained that I didn't live in the neighborhood - and I had to take two buses to get home - and I was also carrying two other (heavy) bags. He told me (in an annoyed manner) that there had never been a problem with people only using one bag, so I said "then I might be the first person in the history of this store to have a problem with the bag, so please use an extra bag". AGAIN he refused, so I said "then I might be the first person IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD to have a problem with the bag, so PLEASE USE AN EXTRA BAG". I was spending an *obscene* amount of money, yet he was refusing to give me an extra bag that probably costs them about $.05 (!!). FINALLY he (very reluctantly) complied with my request. I ate some of the food last night and some of it today. Everything tasted o.k., but it was nothing special. The store looked very clean and certainly the two young women were friendly, but the ridiculous scenario re: the plastic bag was inexcusable (I'm being generous by giving three stars) and therefore I won't return. read more

I ordered a cream cheese bagel with a slice of roast beef they charged me $16. I could buy whole meal for that price. This is a monopoly!

Ordered a siciliano panini today which said that it has salami, ham, mozzarella, spinach, red peppers, and vinegar. I instead got a 2 inch stack of salami with swiss cheese between pita bread. I paid the absurd $13 for it and I didn't realize until I got back to work. --- I'm giving two stars because their food is always fresh, BUT EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. Seriously. I've lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years and avoid shopping there when possible. It's a "bodega" for out of state NYU kids who dont know any better. As a new yorker to a fellow new yorker, avoid at all costs. read more

The deli guys are super nice, but the guy works at the register at night is the absolute WORST and RUDEST person I have ever met, and I've had some pretty bad customer service before. I'm pretty sure he like has a cactus up his butt or something. Told me that he "didn't want to see my face" and for me to "get out" after I asked about an umbrella I may have left behind. Rose his voice and yelled at me and kept saying "get out" and "I DONT WANT TO YOU ANYMORE". Guess what, you won't. (Also the fruit sucks and is never fresh or good) read more

I came here one time around 2 am because I was looking for a snack and it was the only place open. I bought overpriced cheese and crackers and went back to my apartment. When I took my first bite, I noticed that the cheese tasted funny. When I checked the expiration date, I saw that it was expired by over a month. Never buy from Space Market!!! Everything is extremely overpriced and they sell expired food. Absolutely appalling. read more

GOT FOOD POISONING FROM HERE. And I'm not the first either. I've heard of many students getting food poisoning from space market. Food is overpriced and expired. read more

Apparently, "24 hours" does not mean the same thing in Manhattan as it does in Brooklyn. When I lived in Brooklyn, I could crawl into my deli (God Bless Deli, FYI) and order an egg and cheese on a roll at any time of any day and they would make it for me. If they didn't have rolls, they would put that shit on a hero and NOT charge me extra. Now that I live down the street from the pit of despair (NYU, FYI), I have started to go to Space Market... partly because I thought the name was funny, which was also why I picked my last deli. Anyway... At Space Market, I would have to estimate that of the last 5 times that I ordered my egg and cheese, the man at the counter fought with me four times. Twice, I believe I walked out with the goddam sandwich. Excuses I have received: "The grill is not on." (Turn it on, I can wait. You are cooking a egg, not a goat.) "We have no rolls." (So put it on any other type of bread-like material you may have. Space Market is also a small grocery store, so this excuse makes no sense.) "I'm cleaning right now." (Are you kidding me?) (There was no one at the counter and the guy at the register was bewildered at that fact. No one to argue with here.) The salad bar is not the worst thing in the world for a impromptu picnic, so they can have two stars. Oh, and I don't go to NYU but I lie and get the discount. You should all do the same. Luckily, I'm moving back to BK next month and I think I am going to have a housewarming party and cater it with egg and cheese sandwiches from God Bless. So, suck it Space Market. read more

Alright - this joint follows standard college campus deli protocol. It is overpriced and of questionable quality. That said, if you have no options, you can do worse. There is no consistency with the sandwiches, both in price and make. Some days a ham and cheese will be $7.00, others $7.50. What really gets me (and has prompted this review) is the tomato situation. These guys will always put tomatoes on your sandwich. It is only a small inconvenience, but out of curiosity I have tried a few different ways of ordering: "Ham and cheese, no tomato please" "Ham and cheese, lettuce, no tomato" "Ham and cheese, nothing else, no tomato or lettuce" ...you get the idea. Without fail, you will walk out of there with two slices tomato. The key is to not say the work tomato at all. If you say the T word, you get it. Period. There are creative ways around this, but they require some maneuvering. It is as fascinating as it is frustrating. read more

Tried this place because I heard a lot of good stuff from friends. Got food from the hot bar. I went and got food at about 11:30, before the lunch rush. I got a few items, paid, and went back to eat. All of the food was cold or lukewarm at best and none of it was very good. The fish tasted very fishy but worst of all, I found a worm in the fish. I spat out the food and promptly threw it away. Fortunately it wasn't alive but it's enough to ensure I won't be back. read more

NYU students get 10% off. Bring cash if you don't plan on spending more than $5! Great sandwiches in deli.

An NYU haunt that sports a large salad bar, a large selection of sandwiches, and stocks general grocery items. Not to be confused with Spice Market or an establishment that specializes in Tang and freeze dried foods. I've had two sandwiches here - a very good mozzarella, sundried tomato, and basil sandwich (Gourmet #5) and a well-intentioned but lacking Italian hero (Gourmet #6). Really like their olive bar in the back. Ton of choices and a dozen or so olives will only set you back about $1.50. A definite step up from the All About Food around the corner. read more

The only thing good is the location to NYU Campus The salad bar is really $8/ A POUND! Most of the foods are lathered with sauces & mystery meat (no signs to say what the mystery dish is). Pork? Chicken? Who knows?! Even with the 10% off during summer for NYU students, my food never gets a real 10% off, just about 20- 30 cents off for a $5-$6 worth of food. That's only about 5% discount, forget you. I'm going elsewhere. read more

If you're an NYU student, you've most likely stepped into this place at least once, whether you were in a rush to get to class in the morning and wanted a quick cup of cheap coffee and cappucino or came by during lunch for some food from the large buffet selection. The Koreans who run this store also enjoy the more-than-occasional group of drunk stragglers in the wee mornings. The buffet ranges from Chinese to Japanese to various salads. The place is open 24/7, but I'm not sure if I would trust the buffet after a certain hour. While their sushi is cheap, the chefs overstuff the rolls with rice to weigh down the sushi (since you pay by weight). This isn't exactly the cheapest places to go grocery shopping either, even with a 10% NYU student discount. read more

This place makes a damn good sandwich and is just full of heady shit. If you're affiliated with NYU, with the discount the salad/prepared foods bar is super bomb. My big complaint is the total neglect for fresh veggies in the salad bar. read more

This review is simply for their catering services. I called Space Market at 8:30am to ask for an 11:30am same day delivery for 30 people. I had called around to other local places, like Bully's, etc, and no one would take my order. I was so relieved that Space Market was able to accommodate my large order on such a short notice. Thanks, Space Market!!! read more

Space Market is my favorite bodega/grocery in the NYU area. It's perfect to stop in for a quick bite while in the area. I'm always impressed by the self serve food bar. It's pretty extensive with lots of fruits, cooked vegetables, lasagna and pastas, salad fixings, and sushi. The soup bar always has about 6 or 7 delicious soups to try. The lentil soup is amazing. The cashiers move quickly here, so there is barely a wait even during busy times. The credit card minimum is $5 so be prepared with cash if you are just stopping in for one or two things. Also, NYU students and staff get 10% off of self serve food bar purchases. read more
