Blue Valley Deli

There is really only one reason that I continue to order from this place — they’re close to me. The bread (rolls, bagels) are always stale. Almost every time I call for delivery they mess my order up.
On the flip side, their staff is super friendly.

Don’t buy beer at Blue Valley.
There are no prices indicated on any of their beers. After looking through their case, I selected a four pack of SixPoint tall boys. I buy this pack regularly for aprox $ 10 and have seen it sold for up to $ 12. I brought it up the counter and the clerk started looking through a list he had next to the register. I asked him if he sold much of this type of beer and he said no because it was «really expensive». After I told him that the standard price was around $ 10 he looked blankly at his list for a few more moments and then told me the price was $ 16. I begrudgingly agreed to pay the price and brought the beer to a friend’s house around the corner. When I opened the beer, it was clear that it was well past its prime. I don’t know if it was old or if it was mistreated by the store but, there is no way that the store did not know this was not a fresh product. If you are going to sell a product at a premium at least sell a premium product. STAY AWAY!

I agree with Peter D., this deli sits on the very corner of the F train on 16^th Street/​Sixth Avenue from Brooklyn making my second connection originating from Queens. As you walk up the stairs to street level the strong stench of bacon is thoroughly intoxicating and incredibly deceptive to draw patrons within. I was at wits end to be repelled for my morning ritual, breakfast.
This is my latest incarnation for breakfast while the others were a disaster for mediocre quality at deceptively expensive prices. Blue Valley Deli price is very reasonable for my toasted bagel with butter and ham at $ 2.60. Mixed fruit salad by the register is under $ 5.00, which is well below what the standard NY deli or gourmet cafes fend. No seats are available as this deli is best for takeout and no facilities on premises for patrons either. I would surely return for my afternoon ritual, lunch as Unilocalers disclose salads are favorable.

This was an awesome little deli. I was visiting New York and staying nearby with friends. Went in here to try an authentic New York Bagel and cream cheese. This place did not disappoint. Would definitely come back.

This place is located directly outside the 16^th Street exit for the F Train coming from Brooklyn. Which means that every morning, every FREAKING morning, I walk up those stairs and I am assaulted by the intoxicating, irresistable aroma of bacon.
Blue Valley, you are the reason I will not be bikini-​ready when summer comes around.* But you’re also the best deli in the immediate area.
Your bacon egg and cheeses are excellent.
At $ 5.50, your heros are large and an amazing value.**
Your salad bar is fresh and cheap.
Your selection of scones and croissants and beer and gelato… it’s good.
Delis like this are one of the many reasons NYC is better than other cities.

*Admit it, before my office moved an avenue away, I made that bikini look good.
**The chicken club, with bacon, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato and ranch… I like it.

this is for their salad bar: Excellent amount of very fresh different items to add and very cheap $ 5.50. its not self service but you can pick up to 6+ of many different items and the guy will mix up a large filling salad for you. Would def recommend if your in the mood for take out salad but there is nowhere to sit

I go here almost everyday, as it about a block from my workplace. They’re the best go-​to for lunch when you just want a cheap salad. You get to choose an unlimited amount of ingredients, all for $ 6.50. They have almost every typical ingredient possible, including grilled chicken, breaded chicken, tuna, avocados, boiled eggs, roasted red peppers, almonds, cranberries, etc. etc. etc.
If you’re not craving salad, they also have hamburgers/​cheeseburgers, paninis, bagels, sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, small but different selections of hot food daily, cookies, pound cakes, the list goes on.
Otherwise, it’s your average corner deli with chips, juice, soda, coffee…
The main positive point here is that they go for abundance at a cheap price.

Bacon/​Egg/​Cheese Bagel Sandwich = SO GOOD.

Everybody needs a nice little corner deli. I wish I could talk them into adding flowers, but I love the ice coffee and I love searching way in the back for random grocery items. It always feels like a treasure hunt. If you search long enough, you are bound to find what you need just around the bend or on that top shelf.
