What a nice little find!! I was in the mood for a mom & pop deli experience and came across Cafe 51 by accident… and now I feel like I’ve found a hidden gem that I can come back to whenever! Such a random location (within a business complex), but surprisingly high quality. There seemed to be just one woman operating the place on her own, but she was so friendly! Everything is super clean and the Cafe 51 Club was SOOOOO good! Will absolutely return again!

I didn’t realize I should take photos for a review until after I ate half my sandwich… but I posted the other half before I devoured it 🙃

Super cute/cozy cafe . assuming they're mostly catering to the daytime businesses in the area including in the building here. very nice menu for a small café. My turkey sandwich was delicious. They really do have a huge variety here. The woman working the café on this day was super sweet and very attentive. Several small tables for eat in. I'm guessing they get fairly busy Around lunchtime. I'll definitely come back and try it again.  my first visit here was positive, no complaints! 😎👍🏻

Extremely nice folks working here- quality deli with great prices. I got a BLT, it was excellent. Nothing fancy but just exactly perfect. Tangy potato salad, lots of breakfast options. I'll be back for sure!

The good news is that the place is clean and the food okay as well however the customer services and attitude of the woman that is always there is awful.  One example is they have punch cards whereby after 10 meals, the customer receives 5.00 off.  So, after being a regular, she became visibly and audibly upset because she had to give the discount.  The following week I started a new punch card and she became unglued saying, "you can only do it one time"!  Nowhere on the card or in the cafe does it state that.  I decided that I'm done with her attitude every time I go in there.

A few weeks later one of my employees went in there, came back to the office and said to another in the office, "I think the woman behind the counter at Cafe 51 didn't like me very much."

She needs to take a course in customer service or get someone else to deal with customers.

Personally, I'm done with them unless someone tells me there is a modicum of customer appreciation.

This really could have been a great pastrami sandwich, but they do not know,  how to cut the pastrami. Pastrami comes from your brisket. You must cut it across the grain, not with the grain. Eggs was great, pastrami not edible because of the cut.
