Brooklyn Standard Deli (The Standard )

This is our favorite bagel spot in Brooklyn if not in all of New York. The bagels are amazing and you can’t beat the price. We come here every Saturday morning for our usual ritual. We get a bacon, egg and cheese with home fries and hot sauce on a toasted poppy seed, and a sausage, egg and cheese with cream cheese on a toasted everything bagel. 10/10🥯♥️ Update: tried a whole wheat everything bagel with egg white, avocado, arugula, turkey and provolone. Felt like a healthier bagel and still so yummy!

Yeah man this place rocks. The drip coffee is genuinely GOOD and the dudes working are chill. They got a good burrito menu and they only cost 7 bucks too. They also have just like tons of snacks and healthy options and a smoothie stand happening in the back.

Not only does Brooklyn Standard Deli excel in crafting mouthwatering sandwiches and deli classics, but they also shine in their warm hospitality. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with genuine smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels like family, providing attentive service and helpful recommendations. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll be treated with the same warmth and care, making each dining experience memorable. So, for a taste of New York's finest deli fare served with a side of hospitality, look no further than Brooklyn Standard Deli.

If the small Spanish lady is working, everything is amazing price is on point no errors made and the food is great. Anybody else especially the Australian girl working, run. They don’t listen to instructions don’t toast don’t scoop it’s always overpriced then the normal and never correct. Good luck

Not your average deli. They’ve got the right selection of products, an amazing smoothie bar, and solid sandwich options. Can’t go wrong with the turkey avocado or the breakfast burritos. Plus, super nice staff.

I love the amount of gluten free and vegan options they have. I am addicted to their sandwiches and they don't charge a ton either. I tell everyone I know to get food from here. Perfect for grabbing food to sit in the park

I brought up the review that says they skimp on cream cheese….and the bagel I got had plenty of cream cheese! 4/5 stars because pork bacon needs to make a come back to all delis! Emancipate from the tyranny of theology.

I have only been here a few times but the quality is always consistent! And the service was great, the person working front of house was kind and patient. I got the breakfast burrito and it was very tasty. It was smaller than I expected but turned out to be quite filling and actually the perfect size. Thank you!

Friendly staff, inexpensive food, and great selection! I didn't understand the bad reviews and figured I would give this place a shot anyway since it was on my route when in Brooklyn. They did not disappoint!

Ok a bagel went from $1.50 to $1.75 to $2 within 2 weeks... they charge $1.50 just to add butter Staff is rude. Not worth it at all

The best - great to order food - Great packaged food - great smoothies - fair prices. It's so great I love it. Not to mention a wonderful staff.

If you're going here - ONLY get a bagel and cream cheese or their smoothies. Those are great. Everything else we have gotten from here has been disgusting and made us sick. Fatty and undercooked bacon. Oily and raw potatoes. Burnt eggs.

All of these bad reviews are from years ago. Brooklyn Standard has the best bagels in Greenpoint that make the best sandwiches. They're fluffy, boiled bagels that remind me of Jersey. You wouldn't expect how good the bagels are but they're definitely better than Bagel Point's. I like the juice bar too. I get a small #1 juice. It's like a kale, ginger, cucumber thing. I prefer the juice over the coffee. The coffee can be watery sometimes. Again, a 3 star review is very unfair for this place.

The sandwiches we got from here were pretty fresh considering it was the end of the day and the service was great; not a bad price but there's definitely better sandwiches available within walking distance

Partner and I get lunch sandwiches here. We always find them very tasty. Would recommend.

First time ordering from here and I will NEVER do so again. Ordered a smoothie and a bacon egg and cheese on a roll. The spot is around the corner from me. This is how the sandwich was delivered (pictured below) and no straw for my smoothie. I'll leave this place to the hipsters.

If looking for a fresh and delicious breakfast burrito then look no further than Brooklyn Standard on Nassau Ave. Located only a few blocks from McGolrick Park, the deli hosts a diverse array of breakfast options to satisfy the pickiest of taste buds. I ordered the Holy Guacamole Breakfast Burrito, which was loaded with scrambled egg, potatoes, pepper jack cheese, pinto bean spread, and guacamole. It was scrumptious and costs $7.50. Service was fast and friendly.

Very overpriced and not the best vegan food I've had before either :( I don't suggest this place. Save your money and go elsewhere

I ordered two vegan cannoli's to bring to my Aunt's beach house. When I arrived at the beach I noticed they were never put in our take out bag. It cost me $9. And I showed up empty handed and was so embarrassed. I also asked for Ketchup for my two sandwiches and the woman at the counter forgot to put the Ketchup in. I had to ask her again and she rudely did it. But when I looked there were only TWO ketchup packets. It wasn't even enough to cover bother sandwiches. They make mistakes ALL the time and the women at the counter are often rude. My friend ordered a vegan Reuben and they gave her meat instead and she noticed when she was two-thirds done with the sandwich. She was repulsed and just sickened. She called and they told her they would refund her and they never did. This place needs to do better.

This is my go-to sandwich place. Their vegan sandwhich es are so good! Oddly recommend the one with the potato salad and tofu (ask them to cut up the tofu in the sandwich though otherwise it's just one patty of tofu). Their gluten free bread is ok. Their multigrain with gluten is a lot better. Smoothies and juices are always really good and really fresh. Their banana oatmeal vegan cookie is really good! Love this business! Quick and easy, highly recommend.

Quick and easy bodega style ordering. Great veggie and vegan options too! Got the veggie burrito with veggie sausage.

Fast, easy, fairly consistent. Good vegetarian options and open late. They aren't going to pat you on the head though.

I used to come here very frequently because of their selections and accessibility. But after receiving sandwiches with HAIR in it, more than once... I was forced to not order from here again. After the first time I brought it to their attention, you would think they would start to wear hair nets to prevent it from happening again. Nope, that wasn't the case. I really hope they make some changes with this food safety issue.

Let me start off by saying this review is LONG OVER DUE. I hate leaving bad reviews and always give the benefit of the doubt, but the last time I went here was the last time I allow this cashier to treat me so poorly. I've been going here since I moved to the neighborhood about 3 years ago. The ONLY reason I continue to go is because the smoothies are AMAZING and the people who make them are so sweet and polite. The sandwiches are a hit or miss, but pretty good. In general, things are over priced but thats what you get in that area. However, the two girls who work the cashier are literally the rudest people. One much more so than the other. Every time I go I am reminded of how insanely rude she is, which deters me from wanting to go there again. I leave wanting to boycott it. So, I stop going for weeks or months and end up going back because I need to grab something quick and like I said, the food and smoothies are pretty good and it's a block away. BUT each and every time I go I am reminded on just how rude these individuals are. Again, one more than the other, who is the reason I finally decided to write a review. Half the time she's busy talking to her friends while I'm waiting to pay. If I ask a question, THE RUDEST response. Sometimes I even say hello or have a good day to try to be the bigger person and no response, just attitude. It's disgusting that she feels so entitled to treat people this way. I'm literally shocked that her manager hasn't addressed it by now. Maybe she's close to the owner? I don't know, but I can't think of any other reason a manager would allow such behavior... and after reading some other reviews, I see it's not just me. You can get decent food almost anywhere in NYC, especially Brooklyn, the service has a big impact on how your customers feel about your establishment. This kind of customer service discourages people from going.

I live around the corner on Driggs. When I moved here, I ordered for pick up and Lylynn was super cool to me - so I only continued going here to talk her up (Amanda too!). They are the sweetest and were always the best part of my morning (pre-COVID) when I'd grab an iced coffee and Cali Vegan bagel on my way to the train. I have been out on the west coast for the summer and I can't wait to hit up BSD when I'm back in town next month! Side note: if you describe a neighborhood as full of aging, snobbish nobodies, maybe you should move instead of antagonize essential workers!

My go to spot for juices, smoothies sammys and salads! Love this spot and that' it's open late.

Note to the deli workers. You don't cut cold cut style pastrami ( Boar's Head ) thick. This turns it into shoe leather. Also makes the sandwich inedible. I had to take the meat off my sandwich The Jewel. Turing my sandwich into a one slice Swiss cheese sub. You need to slice it super thin and then put it on the flat top. Now I need to find a place to eat lunch again today.

Was suggested to come here for their great vegan tofu Ruben sandwich. I placed my order in the store with the girl at the register and literally said VEGAN Ruben twice. Came back to pick it up 30min later again asking for the VEGAN Ruben I ordered. Got into my dark car and decided to have some on my way home. A few bites through it I was thinking this tasted weird but have never ordered this sandwich before and my friend raves about it so ate some more. When I got home I unwrapped what was left and legit there was ham and Turkey! Meat alternatives are so good now that it wasn't an odd thing to not be able to tell. I got instantly sick! Called the store and they just gave a simple sorry and money back. Will never trust them again!! Not cool!

Love this place! I have ordered delivery countless times and it's consistently delicious. I usually get scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, potatoes, stewed tomatoes and a gluten free bagel. It's the worst when you get eggs that were made on a dirty grill and thankfully that has never happened! Thanks for being awesome!

Barely filled bagel and roll. Was half an egg used? This place used to be great and now it's a consistent let down. Last time my boyfriend had raw bacon in his sandwich and my Lox bagel tasted & smelled like it was fresh out of a broken refrigerator. Won't be returning anymore.

My go to stop for BEC sammys!! The staff there is so nice and welcoming. Usually LyLynn is working when I go and she always has time to greet me and makes me feel really welcome, especially in these times. Working service here during the pandemic must be very stressful since the place is Usually almost packed but LyLynn is always shining and you can tell she's a hard worker!! I recommend you stop by there when she's working :)

excellent and yummy sandwiches and healthy fresh salads! This is always our go to place for packing a picnic!

I always walk by this place and finally gave it a shot . Meh .... got a cheese steak it's wasn't good .. roast beef was precut rubbery mess(you could taste that it was old ) , peppers and onions were under cooked . And barley any cheese.. I gave them 2 stars since the staff was really nice and the place looked fresh .. I would waste your money's here's ... went for a second try this morning . Biscuit , bacon ,egg and cheese Biscuit should of been toasted Bacon was as tough as beef jerky Egg was over cooked Cheese wasn't even melted I'd love to see this place make Better food . The lack of basic cooking skills is just sad. This was a simple sandwich. Waited an extra 5 minuets because of lack of communication from the front end .... dear owners . Get your self some friend front end staff and some one who can cook . A person that can tell you that your ways of prep work and cooking hasn't correct . I think the staff is afraid to say any thing :.( I hope this place gets better ...

Last two times I went there I found hair in my food. Staff who is preparing the food does not wear any hair protective nets. Disgusting.

People who work here are nice. Food is usually good quality, but the preparation lacks consistency and results in just an "ok" in my book. Speaking of being consistent, whoever cooks the potatoes on Wednesday mornings consistently undercooks them which is disappointing. If they were a little cheaper, or the food was a little better, they'd have an easy 4 stars from me.

I love the standard, but, why does the head cashier choose to not wear a mask? Every employee who works there (5-8 people) had one on. When I asked her why she didn't have one on she said, "because of this thing." (Referring to a plexi guard with an 18" x 12" hole in it). So she must be immune from Covid-19 and a respiratory pandemic that decimated 33,000 new yorkers. Good thing, considering she serves hundreds of people a day in Greenpoint.

Confused by the other lukewarm reviews but I've been here a few times now and their sandwiches are great, they've got good ass smoothies, and they have decent coffee served by nice people.

I try to hit Bk standard on my way into work in the mornings so I can get some delicious smoothies, snacks, hangover cures and a nice chat with the ALWAYS LOVELY Lylynn or Amanda. Anyone writing a negative review on the internet about being treated poorly during a pandemic at a busy bodega needs to re-evaluate their lives and understand that everyone is just doing their best. If you can't take the heat, go somewhere else

Brooklyn Standard is the best. Everyone in the neighborhood goes there to get their morning coffee and breakfast sandwich. The best part about the Standard is Lylynn. I honestly feel like we all go there equally for the friendly hello as for the food/coffee. She's the best.

just got a bacon egg and cheese croissant and a coffee and it was delicious and affordable. will be going here again

Always on time, sandwiches always fire. Favorite is Portebello. Smoothies are good too!

I moved to LA recently and one of the things I miss most is the Standard. We don't have anything comparable here...fairly priced, vegan/friendly sandwiches. And while both locations are great, I'd usually go out of my way to go to the Nassau location, because of the friendliest staff. Lylynn has some weird Rainman-like powers of remembering EVERYBODY'S name and orders. I've seen her put in orders for people before they even got to the counter while on the phone with another customer, simultaneously waving to other locals she sees waking by the window. This brings us back. I visited recently after being gone for 6 months and she still remembered what I got despite my absence. But back to the food...best gazpacho...wish it were year round. Keep it up guys! xoxo

Solid bagels and sandwiches! A short walk to McGolrick Park and you can enjoy your yummy bagel outside on a nice day. They don't have espresso but I don't mind. They also have fresh juice and smoothies towards the back. Refreshing! Convenient, no fuss, yummy food! I hear the breakfast burritos are good as well. Will have to try that next time.

Drastically reduced ingredients on sandwiches. I've tried several times in the last few weeks as I keep thinking things will change but they haven't. A bagel and cream cheese has the thinnest layer of cheese that it can't even be spread out the cover the bagel. A ham, egg, and cheese probably has 1/2 an egg, 1/2 slice ham and I can't even see the cheese. It's so thin you can't even taste it. Cutting costs is cutting this customer and I'd imagine many more.,,,

My favorite deli for quick & healthy munchies! The jerked seitan sandwich & Cali bagel are bomb. Lylynn is usually working when i go in and she"s super sweet and on point!

This place has terrible customer service (except for the smoothie/juice guy). Based on the spillover of customers on the sidewalk everyday, I've tried it a few times and always left wondering what I did to make the cashier hate me so much. The food is very mediocre and over-priced. My final straw was when I went in on a hot day and noticed an overheated dog sitting outside without its owner. Another customer was asking the cashier if she knew whose dog it was and if he could bring it water. She REFUSED to give him a cup of water, saying he would have to pay for a bottle. I'm giving it 2 stars only because of the smiley smoothie guy. Everyone else there is the worst.

Got the turkey avocado sandwich with no cheese. Pretty big size and reasonable cost ($8). Totally delicious and love the thicker sliced turkey. My tummy is happy

I never wanted to give you a bad review.... Before I moved here, I would come to BS in Greenpoint every time I visited. I was so impressed with your vegan selection and knowing I could order a vegan + GF Bahn Mi was a dream. I always called it in. I would order "A Vegan and Gluten Free Bahn Mi sandwich to go". I told everyone about this sandwich. I raved about it. Within about a year, I ordered this around 10 times. And then I moved here, right down the street. I was so excited to be able to eat these ALL THE TIME. So much that I came in, asked where you got the bread because it was SO good, and when one of your employees emailed me the info I was SHOCKED that this bread is not vegan as it contains egg. When someone orders a VEGAN sandwich, you NEED to tell them that the GF bread is NOT vegan. This is incredibly irresponsible and disappointing. I contacted you twice on your contact page with a long note about this and no one ever responded. I am shocked that for as many vegan items as you carry, you would be this irresponsible. Shame on you.

This place rocks. Their portobello sandwich makes me whole again. Service is always friendly. Also the juices and smoothies in the back are delicious. Love you!!!

Before I moved from BK I would go to the standard everyday. To get a coffee - sure but also popping in and saying hi to the staff became ingrained in my everyday. In a city where everyday life can really beat you up and ware you down it was such a beautiful part of my life to have place where people knew my name. Now this is a busy joint, and there is a lot of stress working behind a counter like that so don't get it twisted if you aren't greeted with a smile and hug everyday morning --- this is new york and these are real people working... be kind, be chill. It just sandwich after all (but god I miss my scooped out pumpernickel w/ CC + Tempeh Bacon+ Tom + Ava + Cuc)

My roommate and I were SUPER hungover and ordered delivery. I LOVE how all of their burgers are the same price but tons of different options. Cheeseburger? $8. Bacon avocado burger? $8. Western bbq burger? $8! They are decently sized, came quickly, and come with regular or sweet potato fries. My ONE complaint is that we ordered medium rare and got well done. Actually, they were SO well done they were like a brick and could barely be cut through which is terrible. Normally they were so over done that I would have given them a lower rating but my roommate said that this wasn't that normal and last time she ordered from them it was cooked perfectly. If the burger was cooked perfectly, this place would have the best deal on $8 delivered burgers everywhere!

This is essentially a bodega with delusions of grandeur. Pricey despite relatively basic deli fare masquerading as gourmet. If you're a vegan this might be a decent alternative, especially if the alternative is pigeon on a stick. The biggest issue I have is the staff: consistently unpleasant and periodically rude. The winos on Nassau are more pleasant, even when they're screaming obscenities in Polish at you. I've given up on this place.

Let me just preface this by saying that I have never written a Yelp review before, so this is a really special moment/ I can't believe I'm wasting my precious time. The only reason I go to The Standard is because it's right around the block from my apartment. The food is decent, yet overpriced (but hey, what isn't these days). The real problem is the staff. They are some of the rudest people I have ever encountered. ESPECIALLY the girl that works on Friday mornings. This chick is a real gem- literally one of the most miserable people in Brooklyn. I'm sorry to break it to you, but your JOB is to be pleasant and hospitable. Go work at the DMV if you want to treat people like shit. I walked in and walked out today because of her attitude problem and I'm vowing to never go back so I don't have to see her sour face again. It's a shame that this place hires such shitty employees. I'm sure there are plenty of happy people out there that would work here.

Delivery was super quick without any crazy fees, but they brought the wrong product and didn't bother to call me to 1) let me know or 2) ask if I wanted a different flavor. I'd use them again if I'm in a pinch but will make sure to provide a delivery note that if they don't have my product they need to call me.

The burritos, the smoothies, and the coffee are all great. And they have a lot of vegetarian options. Highly recommend. I also love Lylynn, she is awesome!

Super cheap amazing vegan sandwiches, a godsend. Cali Bagel with tempeh and a small coffee, best deal around.

Well I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more... (for vegan food) After yoga class, I am usually famished and extremely salt depleted, so I am always on the hunt for salt (it is like my crack). So, I trek over to this place and boy was I happy to see all the VEGAN options. I read some reviews and I guess I was in the mood to have some VEGAN potato salad. I rarely ever eat it anymore b/c of the mayo. It is a pretty decent VEGAN potato salad, with a bit of a kick to it. I also bought a VEGAN banana chocolate chip cookie. Pretty soft and gooey. If you're in Greenpoint and need a good VEGAN option, this place could work. I'll probably be back to try other VEGAN goodies including their banh mi and also the fake chicken salad.
