Located in the vibrant heart of Jackson Heights, K&L Delicatessen is a cherished local gem that masterfully blends the classic deli experience with a breakfast haven and cozy coffee shop ambiance. Celebrated for its robust and satisfying menu, this spot is a go-to for morning commuters and midday diners alike who crave hearty, flavor-packed sandwiches and comforting breakfast staples.
The cuisine here is quintessentially deli with thoughtful twists, boasting standout favorites like the jalapeño sausage breakfast sandwich—creamy, mildly spicy, and perfectly balanced with ketchup and hot sauce, making it a beloved go-to for many patrons. The breakfast sandwich lineup, including the rich and savory bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, resonates with those seeking an energizing start to their day, while the Italian Combo and Pesto Chicken Melt appeal to sandwich aficionados looking for a savory lunch fix.
Signature “Sándwiches de Tres Pisos” or “Triple Deckers” add an unmistakable flair, notably the Chicken Cutlet Triple Decker Deluxe, a delightful tower of chicken cutlet, bacon, pickle, crisp lettuce, tomato, and mayo layered between fluffy white bread, served alongside crispy fries and refreshing coleslaw. This hearty sandwich is a testament to K&L’s commitment to generous portions and bold flavors.
For breakfast lovers, the omelette selections such as the Protein Omelette sandwich—whipped egg whites with turkey bacon and sharp cheddar—and the abundant Jackson Omelette platter provide nourishing options, satisfying cravings with homemade flair. On the lighter side, their salads—from the fresh and crisp Garden Salad to the indulgent Cobb and California Green Salads, packed with grilled chicken, avocado, and creamy dressings—offer vibrant, health-conscious alternatives that don’t compromise on taste.
Coffee enthusiasts will find solace in the expertly brewed hot coffee and indulgent vanilla lattes with oat milk, perfectly suited for pairing with a warm muffin or cream cheese bagel. The cafe’s ambiance exudes a quiet, welcoming energy, striking an ideal balance between a relaxed breakfast nook and an efficient grab-and-go stop. Customers approve of the clean, spacious seating area complemented by ambient music, creating comfortable moments whether dining solo or with company.

Popular morning spot for coffee and bagels, but an absolutely necessary stop for the jalapeno sausage breakfast sandwich, which we get with ketchup and hot sauce (it’s mild and flavorful). I’ve had the pleasure of taking this to go and eating it in a half-dozen times now, and I wouldn’t trade this for any other breakfast sandwich in the entire city. Even better, it arrives fast. Hot coffee is good too. Get there.
This play has AMAZING sandwiches. This is my third time trying this place. Food: A solid 4, some of the sandwiches are a bit messy to eat because of the way they are stuffed. Service: Not a friendly or attentive customer service place. However, there is no attitude either, so it's good. The sitting area is clean, has good space, and has a good ambiance. Music goes with the ambiance. Would definitely be coming back. HUGE SHOUT OUT to the cooks and pret people, they do an AMAZING job. The owner should be VERY glad to have them working for them.
Is a simple place but very quiet, I know this place is very busy, I got my food warm and fresh. And great price!
The best sandwiches / platters / deli around!!! This is the spot I can count on to satisfy my cravings. Thank you Peter and Dave for keeping this spot special!!! PS the photo does not do it justice bc I took it after I ate and filled up more food LOL but showing how much they give!!
Great sandwiches! My fav is the Chipotle Chicken On a hero. The Breakfast Burrito is delicious too. This place is a Jackson Heights staple and they friendly staff as well. I shall be back soon with the rest of the family.
Awesome place for breakfast and lunch. Eat in, takeout or delivery, you choose the best to enjoy amazing meals at a very affordable price and super fast. My favorite, chicken avocado melt sandwich
Their sandwiches are the best! I’ve had the pesto one before and it’s excellent. This time, I had the blueberry pancakes and they were perfectly warm and fluffy! I recommend their mango lemonade as well.
Prompt & friendly service! As soon as we walked in, Peter welcomed us and immediately took our order and answered any questions we had. We settled on the Chipotle morning melt which was cooked perfectly and neat. (Add chicken cutlet. You're welcome :)). Then we got a breakfast platter with eggs, home fries, sausage and *fresh OJ. Everything was great but the K & L chopped cheese stole the show! They make you feel like family here- definitely stop in!
