Deli in Miami New Times
Showing 1 - 22 of 47
Locals love to bemoan the lack of decent bagels in Miami. “New York has the best ones,” they whine. “It’s all about the water.” Well, forget about moving back to Manhattan (or Queens or Brooklyn or Staten Island). Try Bagel Bar East, which is one of the few places in Miami that still hand-rolls, boils, […]
For a true New York deli experience in Miami-Dade County, visit Harriet and Bob’s Bagel Cove in Aventura. It’s like this restaurant was taken out time, with its classic diner look and feel. There are seats at the counter for the loners and tables and chairs for families. A takeout deli offers a variety of […]
Located across from University Metrorail station (in the same plaza as T.G.I. Friday’s and Pier 1 Imports), this little deli is perfect for a student or alum craving a shmear of Jewish soul food. Bagel Emporium bakes their soft, savory, donut-shaped treats daily (a dozen costs $9.95), and uses them for sandwiches that include hot […]

For carb lovers with a conscience, there are also whole-wheat and eight-grain bagels […]

Like the Constitution, the Incredible Hulk, and a baseball pitcher working a no-hitter, there are some things you just shouldn’t mess with. Old-school bagel-making should have a place on that list, yet the world is bafflingly full of frozen, bagged holes of dough stomping all over the good name of this traditional Jewish delicacy. Fortunately, […]
Big Slick’s is a big deli that serves 16 types of sandwiches – “small blinds,” $5.95 to $6.95; “big blinds,” $7.95 to $8.95. The menu is playing-card-themed, so honey-maple turkey, melted Swiss, and Russian dressing is “3 of a Kind”; grilled chicken, bacon, provolone, and pickles becomes “Two Pair.” Besides the aforementioned chicken chop salad, […]
If your ideal breakfast involves scrambled eggs, bacon, and Wonder Bread, perhaps it would be best if you did not venture into Buena Vista Deli.

Deli Lane Caf
Deli Lane isn’t a pastrami-and-corned-beef deli; it’s more of a pressed-duck-sandwich-and-tuna-salad-wrap kind of place. At this South Miami institution, crowds of regulars have filled the outdoor seats for brunch since 1988. Service is sometimes slow, but the healthful and affordable fare makes the wait worthwhile. The Swiss apple melt sandwich (by request) brings together seductive […]
English can be only very optimistically referred to as a second language at this Spanish market/caf
Miami’s premier upscale foodie emporium displays an impressive array of reasonably priced, decently flavorful meals to go, freshly made or frozen. Skip the frozen ones, which resemble the TV dinners of the bad old days. Instead, try the excellent New England-style clam chowder, hearty pasta e fagioli, well-made lasagna, or tasty chicken potpie; any one […]

Fresh Market looks like an old-time general store with better lighting housed in swank digs right alongside Biscayne Bay. Tranquil music and aromatic produce seize your senses as soon as you enter (and, hey, the make-your-own-six-pack-of-beer cooler is definitely engaging), but the island in the center of the store is where the finest array of […]

The gourmet shop offers prepared salads, a hot foods section, and a station where sandwiches and burgers ($6.99) are made to-order. The staff doesn’t seem to fit the image that […]
