Taste Gourmet Deli

“Unless I state that I want a toasted burnt roll, I shouldn't receive one like shown on picture. I'll just eat around it, as if I were to complain personally, I'm afraid the elderly lady at the counter wouldn't do much. Always with an attitude. Make sure to peak at your sandwich before exiting the store. I've never received a sandwich this bad. Take your money else where.”

“Been coming here since I was in high school! I always get a bacon, egg and cheese on a donut (don't judge until you try yourself). It's still the #1 thing I will always order from them but all the other food from their menu is exceptional as well. Their chicken noodle soup is perfect when you're sick as well. Will continue to come here for their breakfast sandwiches and iced coffee!”

“Okay so I liked this place walking in.. Theodora behind the counter has that mediterranean openness that the Greeks share with Italians and others whose countries touch that sea. One glance at her and I felt at home. Truth is she reminded me of my own Italian family. So I bought the burger special to go. And when I got home it was a pleasant surprise. The French fries were outstanding. Meaning they literally stand out and apart from everything I've tasted in the last 2 weeks Eating in queens Chinese places, diners et cetera. Everyone except this place must use the same formula or the same oil at least. Not so with taste cafe. I don't know how to describe it other than to say the french fries were tender and tasty. It's like they weren't even deep fried or something. Very nice When it came to the burger itself I was also pleased. While not amazing (it was overcooked) it was good with a permiating smokeyness. I like the feel of the place as well. It's been part of the local landscape for decades, dating back to when this was a thoroughly Italian neighborhood. It's local character is clear from the small talk between regular patrons and the staff. Some folks wandering off the street just to say hello... So this is more than a cute little dine in/take out place; It's a step back into Queen's history, and a part of local Queens at present. FOLLOWUP I think the food quality depends on the cook. Today's experience didn't match my first go round. Everything but the food remains the same but I would give the food a 3 this time.”
