I ordered delivery from this God forsaken place. and it was the most disgusting place on the planet. like they should be shut down. I throw out their inedible, repulsive food and got a complete refund. I've yet to have this bad of an experience in my entire life. truly. STAY AWAY. read more

Top notch sandwiches, soups, and appetizers. An amazing, family-run joint that puts passion into what they do.

Since I've first stepped foot in there just before the beginning of Summer, this place has become one of my go to favorites. I've been trying to keep this place a secret for a bit but I wanna give all the praise that I can because the food, yeah.... It's definitely delicious! The staff are always chill and friendly. While, they move at a speedy pace to make sure that all orders are on point. A calm place to go for it caters to the nearby neighborhood, universities and hospital. So, a nice iced coffee for a summer morning to relax the day away. read more

Subsconscious - Everything Bagel with Flavored Cream Cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

If I can give them a zero, I would. I used to always order from here but never again. I got a salad with breaded chicken. The chicken chunks in the middle were raw (pink and gummy). Also gave me spoiled cucumbers. Claimed it was the salad dressing that made the cucumbers turn clear and sour. I went over to show them in oerson the disgusting raw chicken and rotten cucumbers. The manager claimed the cucumbers were fresh. Smh. GRubhub gave me a refund and they offered to make a new salad but I don't trust them. I am not sure why the mamager hired inexperienced people in the kitchen who don't know how to cook. She also said she can't fire him because he is sick also that another cool usually handles the chicken. Smh. It was a circus. They were defensive and instead of apologizing that they possibly gave me food poisoning and will cover medical bills, they washed their hands off. Eat here if you like raw chicken and spoiled cucumbers. read more

Stop by for a quick bite and was surprised by there extensive menu! They have so many sandwich options but I settled on a classic the cheesesteak. The meat was nice and thin and they put a decent amount of provolone. They also add an aioli which im generally not a fan of but it was really tasty in the sandwich. The bread is soft but sturdy enough to keep everything together. The sandwich is large and cost me around 10 bucks. read more

I was greeted with such a welcoming smile when I went for pickup! If you ever looking for greatly priced meal that fills you up, don't hesitate to try this place! It is easy going casual place where I would definitely revisit! read more

Subsconscious - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Simple sandwich shop with delicious options. This is a pretty in and out type of sandwich and soup shop. There is a small dining area that has about 4 or 5 tables. During my vist, I ordered the Final Exam, which was a greasy nirvana (a good thing). Also, I have ordered food for catering events, and for the most part, the food was delivered on time. The food is well labeled so people from my event were able to easily identify what they ordered. The price of there food is pretty reasonable - most of the sandwiches come with a soup. Oh the short woman who works the salad station is so nice and pleasant. read more

If you consider the neighborhood and all the surrounding places for food, it's a good spot in comparison. Otherwise, it would be run of the mill if you compared it to say your local bodega or deli for sandwiches, especially when you take into consideration price. Like I said, location is the big key. They have a 10% discount if you're CU affiliated and they throw in a free soup if you order one of their sandwiches. I think they threw in some of these perks cause they're not as closeby as their competitor, Apple Tree. I ordered the Double Trouble, which was good. The steak and turkey were tasty. The minestrone soup they threw in was okay. Nothing to write home about but you can't really complain if it's free. All in all, a fairly decent spot. A bit better than some of the other places for food in terms of quantity of food and price. It can get a bit crowded during certain parts of the day. read more

Quick Summary: - Their coffee, if you ask for cream and sugar, it becomes a creamy sweet (which I like) - The hash browns in the breakfast plate was delicious - Order doesn't match with the menu, but they have good replacements - Kind service - Good portions for an early breakfast - There are a few seats to sit - Air conditioning is mildly cool I came here to have breakfast, so I ordered coffee and a breakfast set (toast, egg, and fries). At the counter, they told me that they didn't have fries but they had hash browns instead. For me, I love hash browns over fries, so that was a good plus. They also asked if I wanted to cream and sugar with the coffee, so I replied "yes" to this one too. I expected they would pour the coffee to a point where I can add cream and sugar myself, but they actually did that for me. I thought they added a lot of sugar than I had hoped, but after tasting it, it reminded me of the 85 degrees coffee. Overall a good coffee to have in the morning. It wasn't so strong and bitt that it hurt my stomach and it wasn't sour either. Just the coffee I want. The breakfast set came in an aluminum tray with a lid, so I can take it out if I wanted to. The portion was small, so I ended up eating breakfast at the SubsConsious. After taking my order, they came by a few minutes later to hand me a napkin, fork, salt packet, pepper packet, and ketchup. There were two slices of hashed browns and they were so crispy! That was my favorite part of the dish. The egg lacked flavor, so I squeezed a reasonable amount of ketchup over it. The toasts were good too because they slabbed it over with butter. It was crispy too. In the end, it filled me up and I was quite content with the taste. read more

Subsconscious - Breakfast with coffee - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Best breakfast sandwich in the area hands down, with a very attractive price tag. Reminds me of my favorite food truck back in Philly. Service like lightning, they're on it the minute you open your mouth. Ambiance is trying a bit too hard for the deli vibe, but that doesn't effect their quality or price so I never mind it. Seriously underrated. read more

Hugely underrated sandwich option near Columbia, but was always one of my favorite places to go. My wife and I met up with old college friends yesterday and we got sandwiches for a picnic on campus here. Still the same as I remember it many years ago. With even more options available - so many unique and interesting sounding choices. We got a philly cheese steak and a grilled chicken with red peppers, provolone and honey mustard (just the right amount - not overpowering). The sandwiches each come with a soup as well and are reasonable at about $9. The place is tight, with no seating, but for a quick place to take out, you couldn't ask for more. A true gem in a neighborhood that is increasingly moving to chains (Shake Shack, Chipotle, Five Guys, etc.) read more

When I first walked in, I was caught by surprise by how many choices there are. I don't know how it is even possible. But then I quickly realized that the differences are rather minor. The line gets super long during lunch and dinner hours so be patient! They do try to make sandwiches as quickly as possible. I ordered "Double Trouble" and it was okay! The sandwich was huge and I didn't finish mine in one meal. They do have lots of breakfast and lunch specials. Grilled sandwiches are priced at around $6-8. I think specials are around $5. read more

Clean deli/subs very close to Columbia University Computer Sciences building. I enjoy the walk along the street on a beautiful day and decided to stop here for s sun and grab some water. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. They have very limited seating against the walls and two small tables behind the end counter in the back. Columbia Univ students can show their ID to get 10%. I ordered the turkey sub and a bottle of water. It came out to be close to $10. The sandwich was rather disappointing fir me as the bread is just way too soft. It should be a bit crunchy on the outside texture. The had too much vinegar for me. I didn't like the taste of it but the bf likes it. read more

Their food is pretty good. I love their gyro platters. The delivery is always fast, the food is fresh. It's reasonably priced. My only complaints would be every now and then they don't get my order right and when I ordered steak gyro the steak was fatty and not of the best quality. read more

Food was fine but all the places on the block are the same in that department. It's about price and service. Price is moderate to high and the service is terrible. Been their enough times to be fed up with people cutting me in line because of bad structure and disinterested workers. It's a deli so whatever. I just want to get my food and get out. That's hard to do at this place, so I'm done with it. read more

So close to work, so far from perfection! So much better than nearby Appletree market for salads/sandwiches/prices. This spot is just up the block from my office, and when the lines aren't out of control, not a bad place to grab a salad or a sandwich. There's a hot line, pre-made sandwiches, salad bar and assorted chips, pastries and beverages. The lines can be really egregious, so I'd recommend getting here earlier or slightly after midday (e.g. 11:30 a.m. or 2 p.m. and beyond). Otherwise you'll be standing here until your next birthday trying to order. The sandwiches are underwhelming, but unlike nearby Appletree they'll at least remember to include every ingredient you've requested on your sandwich. Salad bar frequently runs out of dried cranberries, which I take personally. Nothing to write home about, but always here for me when I'm hungry. There's some holiday discount now for students who show their Columbia ID (20%)...Don't tell anyone. I use it all the time and I'm staff. SHHHHH read more

Subsconscious - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

How do you mess up egg salad?! The one and only time I got a sandwich from here and after one bite it went into the trash. SubsConscious place is good for pre-packages snacks; e.g. chips, chocolate bars, etc. However when it comes to hot food they somehow always seem to make mistakes. I used to order my bagel sandwiches from here in the morning but after all three times I got calls because there were changes to my order, I called it quits. The first time they ran out of peach rings so sent some peanut m&ms, the second time they ran out of everything bagels so sent my order on a plain one, and the last time they again ran out of everything bagels so sent my order on an onion one. Not to mention that the delivery took forever when they are only three blocks away from my apartment! Yep, I'll only be back here for pre-packaged food and drink items. read more

OMG, SubsConscious was actually impressive. Moderately priced and high quality. Fantastic food, Grilled Chicken was fantastic undoubtedly. This Grilled Chicken was prepared just perfectly. All of the staff are extremely courteous - you definitely feel welcome and taken care of. I am looking forward to my next visit to SubsConscious. read more

I'm not a big fan of this place. The subs both hot and cold really don't taste all that great. Basically they taste like nothing. The salads are OK. The lettuce used on sandwiches is pretty awful, it's way too thick and abundant. I'm also not very happy with the staff. Hopefully there are not more than 2 people in the store otherwise you will wait 30 min for a simple sandwich. The prices are very high as well, although it is near Columbia so prices are higher. read more

I get lunch here about once every other week, and since I've sort of settled into getting the same sandwich every time (the Lecture), I'm always satisfied. One of my labmates also has his go-to sandwich, so I assume they're doing at least a few things right. The prices are a bit high for simple sandwiches, but they're big and filling. I wish they'd take credit card for orders under $8 so that I could try some of the cheaper sandwiches, but I just hate paying cash that much. They have a buy 10 get 1 free reward program which has been surprisingly effective for me. They have a $5 lunch special for certain sandwiches depending on the day of the week from 12 to 3 (?), which is a great deal, but unfortunately I always go before that time to avoid the rush, so haven't tried most of them. read more

I ordered two subs thinking it was a good deal since the description lists that it comes with soup. Guess I was expecting too much. Both soups were missing from the order. I called the store to get an explanation and a guy answers and very rudely explains that they ran out. Not even an apology. I hope management improves service. Feeling scammed. read more

This is my go-to lunch spot when I have class once a week. It's a small space that gets really packed because it's filled with Columbia's law school, social work, SIPA, journalism, and teacher's college students. There are three lines- one to order sandwiches/grill items, one for the salad orders, and the line to pay. The sandwiches are massive and delicious. The salads are made-to-order so they're always great and they put in SO MUCH PROTEIN, it's actually crazy. Plus the prices are amazing. I used to go to Apple Tree Market a block away and the salads were mediocre and they'd skimp out on ingredients but would charge me a few dollars more than Subsconscous. Shoutout to the guys that work the salad and sandwich station. Even during the lunchtime rush they're always smiling and friendly. Not to mention they make some meannnnnnnnn lunches. read more

Asked for toasted bread...nope. Sandwich was supposed to have sundried tomatoes, which I double checked on...not included. Just awful low quality "food". read more

Stopped here for lunch before picking my daughter up from school. There was no other customers at the time so I took my time to look through all the sandwiches and picked a steak, onions, bacon, and cheddar sub. The roll was very fresh and light. The ingredients were high quality with plenty of everything. Quite yummy and a good size. The staff was friendly and treated me very well. I'd like to eat my way through the menu-very unique sandwiches and many choices. Lots of sides to choose from-I got kettle chips! And plenty of drinks-they had Stewart's diet orange and cream soda! They also have some yummy looking desserts-giant cupcakes ready for takeout and slices of chocolate cake to name a couple. There's seating for 8 in the back but I don't think there's a bathroom. read more

Rather disappointing. This place used to be under Greek management and everything from the salads to the pastries always looked very fresh and appetizing. I'm not sure the reason for the change, but I left without ordering anything because the selections looked very old. ¿Que se passó? read more

I never knew what it was for a restaurant to deserve a 1-star Yelp review until I had this experience at SubsConscious. My apologies to all the other restaurants to which I've given 1 star in the past. At least the food I ate from your establishments did not have rodent poop in it. Yeah, rodent poop. I regret to have to write this review, because the kitchen staff at SubsConscious are friendly, efficient, honest, and possibly the hardest-working people in Manhattan. However, it is one thing to have good service, another to let hygiene go to hell. I purchased my usual custom lunch salad with mesclun greens, mandarin oranges, goat cheese, walnuts, and balsamic vinaigrette. I noticed while the guy was preparing the salad that the open aluminum container in which they keep the walnuts was almost empty. I got back to my office and munched on my salad. It was only at the end that I noticed some grapeseed-sized black things at the bottom of the bowl. When I squeezed them between a napkin, they turned into brown paste. Let me tell you: the moment you realize you've just feasted on feces is a shitty one. I've had to deal with mice before, and know exactly what the droppings look like - i.e., identical to the stuff in my salad. And mice looove walnuts. While the SubsConscious chefs are away, the culprits must sneak in and feast on the nuts to their heart's content (probably at night). In exchange, they leave their turds. I called the manager, who was defiant. I then took time out of my workday to go back there and show him the stuff. He had no alternative explanation but adamantly denied that the unsolicited garnish was mouse manure. (How could he admit it? He'd have to shut down his restaurant!) So, I did my part as a citizen and reported the incident to NYC Dept of Health. I'm now reporting it to the Yelp Community so you can avoid a similar situation. If you don't skip the restaurant, skip the walnuts. read more

I don't wanna share my email address but they asked me for many times, I just don't understand why a local bagel shop needs to do email campaign. I don't wanna eat the ham wrap again, because it has been there for several days and they still sell it to me. I don't think they trust me because when I answered the cashier there's one egg in the bagel, she still reassure it with the guy who hand the bagel to her. And when I wanna pay by card, the cashier asked me if I have cash, it's understandable, but could you please have a sign to tell us "no credit under xxx dollars"? That will look more professional. I know they are too busy, but they have forgotten to add ketchup for many times, and they cannot hear clearly what I asked for, I didn't know they forgot to add bacon, but I thought it has bacon, so I pay more money than what it really costs. But, even if I ordered correctly, their price is still higher than others... It's hard to say goodbye, there were some good memories here though (that's why I still give 3 stars), but might not consider coming again. read more

The new management is taking Subsconscious downhill, and fast. The prices have skyrocketed while the quality has become atrocious. I ordered a Final Exam sub a week ago (after spending about 10 minutes on the phone with a cashier who couldn't get it together and kept getting my order wrong), and what arrived was a dry sub with stingy portions of all the ingredients. For a nearly $9 sub, that's unacceptable. Their French fries are now TERRIBLE. While they've introduced some nice new dipping sauces, I can't dip the fries because they are soggy and limp. Not because of the delivery time, but because they were prepared by someone who doesn't understand the concept of how to fry food properly. While the new wraps sound appetizing, they come out as an unappetizing, mono-color blob of goopy chicken/peppers/tomato filling wrapped in a very small tortilla. Most wraps now cost $10 instead of the $6.50 price tag just a few months ago. A couple of other things: - What in the world happened to the awesome bacon bits that used to be on the salad bar? They have been replaced with old shards of bacon that taste several days old. The new brand of croutons is similarly unappetizing. All of these changes have limited my food options here to the subs and wraps, which themselves seem to have become quite unappetizing as well. -Lastly, ordering delivery has become a nightmare. Whereas it used to take about 20-30 minutes to deliver my food literally two streets away, the average wait time has skyrocketed to 75 minutes. Recently, one of the deliverymen asked me for more than the $2 tip that I gave him, after arriving 1 and a HALF hours after I placed my order of a sandwich and a soda. I was shocked as this has never happened in my 2 years of ordering from here, and will no longer order delivery from Subsconscious again. If the other non-delivery-related issues continue, I not order from here again in any way shape or form. To whoever took over this place: you are trying to fix something that was never broken to begin with. The food has become sub-par in flavor, the selection has declined, the ingredients have dropped in quality...but the prices keep on rising. The place isn't even open 24 hours anymore, for goodness sake. And last but certainly not least, the delivery guys are obviously overworked and unhappy, because I've never been solicited for an extra tip, ever...until recently. Something has to change. Hopefully that change won't be the place shutting down, because it sure seems that this is the road toward which it's headed. read more

the specialty subs are decent and I have no problems with the food, but the service fluctuates and if you get the wrong person, it's better to run out of the store than stand there and watch someone make a disgusting sub that will end up in your stomach during the next 30 minutes. Beware of the sandwich lady!!!! Okay, so if guys are at the deli ask them to make your sandwich, the guys are honest about what they put in and are friendly. If the lady with tattoos and bleached hair is there, just walk out. Once I ordered a GPA sub and she didn't even look for an avocado and snapped that she was out of avocados. I asked if she could substitute it with guacamole, and she gave me a look of disgust and made herself really clear "They're the same. I DON'T have avocados" it's not like I asked her to make guacamole, and since when did avocado equal guacamole? Anyway, every time I have this lady make my sandwich, I have a very bitter experience and this lady seems to be the least concerned with her job. I don't expect sandwich delis to be super clean, but come on, when some body's watching you make a sandwich, you should have at least some sort of sense about what to touch and what not to touch while you're making a sub. this lady touches a grease-smeared ingredient sheet, the back of her pants, once her underarms (she was wearing a sleeveless shirt... I wanted to faint), her hair, the dirty floor, and the dirty cloth that the sandwich people use for multiple purposes while she's making a sandwich. She sometimes makes the girls at the cashier come and help her out, which is also gross since the girls have been touching money with their bare hands all day and doesn't even bother to wash their hands or put some gloves on while touching and pressing down on the ingredients. (yuck) enough said, once you see the disgruntled lady at the deli, just forget about a sandwich and try again the next day when the guys are there. It's really not worth it to get a sandwich or anything from her. read more

What is wrong with you people? This place is open 24 hours a day, it serves almost every type of food, and they offer super cheap delivery. The food is the best of the local neighborhood delis, and the prices are extremely reasonable: $5.75 cheeseburger platter; $4.50 for french toast and sausage; $5.50 for a triple-decker club sandwich. The only way this place isn't five stars is if you are comparing it to midtown delis that charge more than double. For Morningside Heights, it is the go to spot. *The comments about the rude counter ladies are spot-on, but I love it. It's New York for f***'s sake. I want a side of attitude with my sandwich. read more

I don't understand why this place doesn't have better reviews. Maybe it's because people just haven't tried the right sandwiches? With that said, when I tried a couple of the vegetarian options, I thought it was very good. But once I tried their meat options, particularly the GPA and Final Exam, that's when I was sold on how great this place is. The Final Exam is probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and if you eat all the meats in this sandwich, this is definitely what you should order. Otherwise, the GPA is also a great option. read more

Updating to reiterate that they routinely mess up orders. I placed a simple sandwich order over the phone and both sandwiches came without the condiments ordered - mustard on one and mayo on the other. There's a communication disconnect between the people that work here and I think overall they just don't care. read more

SUCKS!!! Subconscious has changed their menu. They've added seating. They've taken most of the Panini's out of there display case. They used to be the best sandwich shop north of Katz's. The restaurant now sucks! The main reason it sucks for me is that they took both my sandwich and my back up sandwich off the menu. I used to come all the way uptown just to get their Cuban sandwich. It's gone. They don't even have an Italian cold cut sandwich anymore, which is the other sandwich there that I like to eat. They've taken about two thirds of the things that they served off of the menu. They've also cut down on their non-sandwich offerings. They don't even offer as many varieties of soda as they used to, and they sell those in bottles. The results seem pretty telling: it used to be 10 people deep at the counter to order a sandwich before they changed the menu. Now the place is mostly empty. This sandwich shop is dying, and you should let it die a quick death. read more

For the past two years, Hamilton Deli was my go-to place for sandwiches, burgers, salads, and food on-the-go. But then I found this place. The sandwiches are inventive and stuffed to the brim in the best of ways, and you can easily get two meals out of one sandwich. Particularly love the Final Exam sub, which comes with Philly steak, cheese, green peppers, mayo, and ~a fried egg~. Creamy, melty, and perfectly greasy. But that egg is what really ties everything together into a delicious meal. Dat egg. Recently also tried the Nuclear sub. A sure favorite for people who love all things spicy. Philly steak, a bunch of different peppers, and a ton of hot sauce. The spicy mustard was a bit much and gave a slight an off taste. But that didn't keep me from finishing this still-awesome sandwich. The CC Blue was the heaviest of all the sandwiches that I've tried here. Wouldn't order this particular one again as it was just a bit too much - ham, chicken, swiss, tomato, lettuce, and plenty, plenty of overpowering bleu cheese dressing - but that is just a personal preference. Salads are standard fare with different mix-in options, but given a choice between Subs and HamDel, I would go with Subs as the ingredients seem a little fresher and the options more diverse. Love the shop layout also - very inviting. read more

The food is so ridiculously good, BUT the service is horrible. I do think the menu items are a bit overpriced. And the nerve to charge more for certain food items pertaining to time of day. Insanity! I love the breakfast though! I don't go often because the rude service is just a bit much sometimes, especially when i can go elsewhere. read more

On the food: it would be okay if I were stuck at an airport for days or on a desert island. Otherwise, it's overpriced and thoroughly mediocre. But what really gets me is the service; I've NEVER experienced ruder service in my LIFE. I ordered a black coffee yesterday; it was served with milk and sugar. I asked for another cup, specifying that I wanted plain, black coffee with no milk and sugar. It was served with sugar. WTF?!?! I finally got my plain coffee, but it was served with the heaping load of attitude and eyerolling. I live right next door, but unless I'm starving or it's free, I'm never going here again. Another example of an establishment that would fail miserably if it were located in any other neighborhood. read more

The 1st few times I went here I Loved the place, but as I started to go on the reg. I realized the food is WAY over priced. AppleTree Deli across the street is a few dollars cheaper per sandwich. The sandwiches are quite good and full of OIL! CC min of $8 read more

Really a disappointment. I won't lie, I order here at least once a week because there really is nothing else in Morningside. But quite frankly, their "subconscious girls" , which they are so proud of (evidenced by the signs in the store), are so rude, especially over the phone. Delivery usually takes 45-60 mins, and I live two blocks away. Today at 7AM, I waited over an hour for two croissants, and when I called to check on it the girl gave me an attitude and said "It's leaving now", no apology. I feel like they have no manager because no one cares. read more
