Green Apple Gourmet Deli

Awesome variety to choose from. It’s a little overwhelming walking in, but the guys behind the counter are great at walking you through your options and if you’re lucky, the customers will be equally as helpful.

Clean place, free wifi and good fresh food – great deli salads, premade sandwiches, made-​to-​order salads, Thai, Asian, fresh fruit. Seating area upstairs. Good value!

With all of the deli/​bodega options around, I was pleasantly surprised by the buffet offerings. Multiple types of salads, pastas, meats… you could even get full avocados. WHAT? I didn’t, but, they were gorgeous.
I wouldn’t plan a huge meal here, though. Four stars because the advertised upstairs eating area is not glamorous. I sat at a small table next to a nail salon, so I enjoyed getting high off of acrylic along with my eggplant salad. But, for a grab-​and-​go place, this was top notch.
Thanks, Green Apple!

My wife and I were in Manhattan over the memorial day weekend. We didn’t want to go out for dinner so I ordered from this place. Delivery was very quick and the food was nothing short of excellent. We ordered a 12 inch honey turkey sub, a tomato basil Italian wrap (which was fully stuffed), and a Reuben sandwich. It was all very good. The delivery guy was very polite as well. Total for three large sandwiches, delivery, and a 20% tip was $ 35.00. I didn’t think that was a bad price at all.

buffet style good fish and crab role. Good deli to come back again. But a bit too expensive comparing with other similar style delis

Green Apple Deli doesn’t get enough credit among some of the giant commercial chains found in Times Square. It is a small deli, with some great sandwiches and very reasonable prices. The hours are open later than some of the other eateries in the area which is convenient for late night meals. They have a wide variety of foods such as a salad bar and Chinese. However they also offer subs and sandwiches made to order. We chose the latter option. The veggie burger was amazing as was the husbands Philly cheesesteak. After a long day of walking and sightseeing takeout from here was the way to go.

This is a super busy lunch spot. I was attending a conference a few blocks away from Green Apple. When we broke for lunch, this deli came very highly recommended from the conference staff.
When I arrived, there was a line out the door for custom salads. I did a quick walk around the deli to get the lay of the land. They had a sandwich area, sushi, asian food grill and the typical large salad bar in the middle. I decided to go with the custom salad bar as the long line assured me the food would be fresh.
I got a salad with a small vegetable soup. The prices were pretty typical for the area, around $ 13 for lunch — soup, salad and a drink. I sat in the upstairs seating area which was reasonably clean. There was a nail salon housed in the same area so you did have some residual smell but nothing crazy noxious.
The food was good and tasted fresh. I would come back, if I am ever back in the area.

Many options — didn’t try any by-​the-​pound options but did stop in for a quick sandwhich
I bought the honey mustard chicken hot sandwich that had lettuce mozzarella and roasted red peppers — delicious — good quality chicken and very generous amount — large enough for two of you like to split and get a salad or something and was $ 9.99 — they had a lot of other hot items that looks delicious as they were preparing them
I sat in the upstairs and it was comfortable and nice to be able to sit for awhile and eat away from large crowds (and I was here at noon — the deli was hopping but there were petty of seats upstairs

Top notch! Great food made fresh with lots of care. You can get any deli sandwich fixed anyway you like it. There are also hot sandwiches and hot food. Yummy! I got a bacon cheeseburger and it was great! In a rush and on the go in Time Square, you must stop here.

Great relatively inexpensive and healthy options near Times Square. There is a hot bar, cold/​salad bar, and made to order hot and cold lines if you want something freshly made. There’s a great assortment of pastries, desserts, and beverages. Limited seating is available upstairs. The food seemed to be fresh, but we did visit during the busy lunch hour.

Great breakfast food. I had burrito with chicken and eggs. Kids had the buffet $ 9.25 /​lb and it was very good. Got out for $ 40 for family of five — pretty good for NYC. All of the good and coffee was delicious.

Super-​clean deli with good food options. I was looking for a deli with some pre-​made breakfast options, as in buffet tables. I first went to the Crown Deli which is a couple of blocks away from Green Apple, and its scrambled eggs and sausage were rather disgusting, and I am pretty sure the cashier overcharged me, as suggested by many reviewers of Crown. And then thanks to Unilocal reviewers, I was directed to Green Apple and boy am I glad I found it.
Why pre-​made breakfast? I need to get to work fairly early each morning, and sometimes it’s frustrating to wait in line to order breakfast, and then wait for it to be made, and depending on the place the whole process could take up to 15 minutes. PLUS, when you order scrambled eggs at the grill, what they usually end up giving you is not scrambled eggs but basically a dry, partly charred plain egg omelette, which is NOT what I want.
I could tell that Green Apple actually give a sh*t to try to make their scrambled eggs as good as possible, and it’s as close to hotel-​style scrambled eggs as it can get at a deli. They also have sausage links, hash browns and pre-​made breakfast sandwiches at the buffet. It being buffet, the items may not be as piping hot as made-​to-​order, but I was happy with the taste and I will definitely be coming back.

I like their lunch buffet selections on sundays. Fresh salads and hot dishes are well kept warm.
Price used to be 8.99 per lb. But they raised it to 9.25 this year. Still the food is pretty decent for the price if you don’t overdo yourself and put in moderate amount of food.
I will return if I don’t want to try other lunch options around the area. Happy New Year everyone =D

They get an A for cleanliness. I ordered a simple hero. The deli meat was mad salty. So NOT COOL. The bread was fresh, all the ingredients were fresh, but uhm, I have had much better sandwiches. I would have given 4 stars if the pepper turkey wasn’t so salty. On a good note, the amount of meat is perfect.

After having worked, performed, auditioned, interviewed, seen shows, escorted tourists, and putzed around in this area for the past decade, I’ve become pretty versed in the deli and by-​the-​pound options available in the Theater District, as well as in most Midtown West and East neighborhoods. GAGD is leaps and bounds above the majority of their competitors in these — and most other — Manhattan neighborhoods I’ve frequented.
Very clean store. Very well lit (bright without being offensive). Nice window display. Large amount of seating upstairs (conveniently by a mani/​pedi spa!). Friendly staff. Really reasonable pricing for sandwiches. And a cold/​hot bar that, while priced slightly above the majority of their competitors, is the freshest and tastiest I’ve ever found.
They freshly restock it all day long, and into evening rush hour. And all but one thing I tried was awesome (as in I would have been happy ordering an entire entrée of any of these dishes). Everything was fresh, flavored well, perfectly seasoned, not overly salted, composed well, and just delish. No more dried, hours old food to grab between jobs/​appointments. GAGD has you covered, be it salads and vegetables, a buffet of entrees, sandwiches, fresh salads, parfaits, and desserts! They even have free WiFi (though I wasn’t able to spy any power outlets…).
Don’t let the word ‘Gourmet’ scare you away. You’ll pay the exact same — if not less — here as nearly any other quick eats spot, but you’ll actually get your money’s worth here!

The biggest plus about this place is its offering of a wide selection of foods. They have everything from gelato to Chinese takeout to Whole Foods style healthy stuff. All the food is weighed, just like at Whole Foods and it’s pretty expensive for the quantity you get. There’s seating upstairs next to this hair salon place, kinda ghetto.
It would have gotten a better rating from me but I had to cut down 2 stars because 1) the place is dirty (e.g. flies flying around) and 2) the rice I got was inedible (tasted like it had been sitting there for 2 days left to sour)
The rest of the veggies/​meat/​quinoa I got tasted fine though. And it’s nice to find a self service spot in the middle of Times Square beside halal. Another plus, it’s open late at night.

Perfect for lunch! SO many choices and SO much great food! Made to order sandwiches, buggers and paninnis, build your own salad bar and every beverage you could think of. The Mediterranean hero was delicious and the fresh cut fruit was absolutely perfect!
Great option to keep away from the hot dog carts in Times Square!

Love this place! There are SO many options so there’s something for everyone!:)
I loved the food bar and everything looked so fresh and delicious! Super fresh fruit! Yummy ripe mangos, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, pineapple, etc! I also tried the salmon, sweet potatoes, RIBS! Everything was SO delicious!
There’s also a salad station, smoothies, stir fry, and sandwich station. AND gelato! Beer wine too lol. SO many options!
And I loved all the little snacks they had like healthy nut bars, kale chips, etc.
Such a pleasant surprise from a «deli» with tons of healthy and fresh options which I loved! Not the typical boring deli with old not so yummy food which is what I usually expect from a deli:)
Can’t wait to go back! Definitely an awesome choice for lunch! There’s also a seating area upstairs! (Someone wrote in a review that there’s no seating. But that’s incorrect hehe)
Five stars!:)

One of the best places I have while being in town for work.
They have a wide variety of food options that are not only tasty but prices well.
I pretty much always have the build your own salad. You get to pick you base like mixed greens, spinach, romaine, then add a protein, grilled chicken salmon, shrimp, then you pick 6 other ingredients have it chopped or not then a dressing. You also get a cup of soup and a slice of bread all for under 10.00
There really isn’t seating so don’t plan on earring there. This is a great quick lunch in and out

I had a fresh made pastrami and corned beef sandwich and a slice of the cherry cheesecake.
The sandwich was excellent. Piled high with quality lean meat, the slaw was fresh and crispy and the bread held up well.
The cheesecake was tasty. Creamy and heavy, the way it’s supposed to be. The cherry topping was a little too gelatinous but still good.
They have a large selection of pre-​made hot food as well as a ton of different salads. You can choose to eat really healthy or really naughty or somewhere in between.
(Naughty was a good way to go, but everything looked delicious)
Service was friendly and fast. The place is wicked clean.
