This Deli is like out of Little Shop of Horrors. The guy behind the register plays King Pimp, CEO and all around A-hole. The food is great but when you have to wait for Jabba the Hut Commander in Chief to tell the minimum wage sandwich maker what to do in a falsetto, cartoon, Muppet crazed voice, all intentional, the best food in the world comes out sour. If they would allow the other folks in there to just make sandwiches as they are ordered and stop the BS of dealing with Jabba, all would be better , faster and tastier. I have gone their multiple times and am ready to walk a few blocks out of my way. Not interested in the screwy drama Jabba gets into.

This was the first place I tried upon moving to the neighborhood, mainly because it was just up the street, but it was a good choice. The selection of beer was surprisingly decent and I am not one to be picky over that for sure, and their food is always prepped on spot by people who enjoy striking up convo with you. Heck the cashier who rang us up the first time asked for my gf ' s and my names, and remembers them when we go back each time! That's clearly better than I can remember, because I can't think of his for the life of me.... Great place for a decent bite. Not all that pricy because things are fresh, and as I mentioned, a good selection of beer which is reasonably priced. On top of that, they will recommend varieties if you don't know what you are looking for when you go in...neat place for sure!

I go to 19th St Deli often, the food is alway good & fresh, the service is out standing. they are open late every night. A great place for lunch or just hanging out.

A friendly neighborhood deli with a large selection of beer and cider. (I love cider and wish they had more, but beggars can't be choosers). You feel really welcome when you go here, and the employees remember you and are not short in conversation! It's always a fun trip!

Very rude customer service. Beer is extremely overpriced (4 bottles for $15-20+). Also do not accept cards for bills under $10. Used to go there for convenience, but now try to completely avoid this place at all costs. Do not give them your business!!!

This place is adorable and for a little corner place, they sure seem to have a lot. I have ordered their veggie wrap and its delightful. The vegetables are fresh and its just the right size, served with a yummy honey mustard. I also went their for breakfast and got an avocado, pepper and egg white wrap. Also very fresh and delicious. Very impressed. Prices are also very reasonable! They also have a great 6 pack selection. We love it!

Been here a couple times. Good if you're in a rush to grab coffee and a bagel breakfast sandwich. Got to the shop around 7:15. Yelp says they are open at 7am. (THIS IS NOT TRUE). One of the guys opened the front door told me they open at 8 am. Time to fix the yelp hours.

After moving around the corner from 19 degrees, I feel like I need to update my review. I come here once a week (usually more...) and can not be more pleased with the selection of sandwiches, the quality of meats, and the friendliness of the staff. I think they had a few bumps in the road when they first opened, but it all seems to be straightened out and am so happy this is my local sandwich shop!

K B.
The owner makes amazing bubble tea! I was so excited to find out my local corner store makes bubble tea. If you like bubble tea that is not overly sweet this is the place. When the owner makes it, it is nice and frothy and has a nice balanced flavor. There are also plenty of bubbles. Get you some!

Jim L.
Terrible customer service and I can't tell if they're too high to give good service or too high to price their beer properly... Or both. $16 for a six of Brooklyn Lager? Insane. Jabba the hut behind the counter couldn't be bothered to stand up to check me out, and was clearly inconvenienced by needing to point out to me that I, not he, should swipe my card. Also, it's nuts that this place, like so many other s-holes in Philly require credit card minimums (which are technically a violation of most credit card company's processing agreements). Of understand if I were buying something under a few bucks, but $5 or $10 minimums are unacceptable. I can't speak to their food, but it's probably average at best.

Sam B.
The customer service is really poor. There are no prices on the things for sale. You walk to the register to a guy who doesn't stand up to ring you up and is a angry since you are interrupting movie. Avoid this place!

Just tried this for the first time today, and I am thoroughly impressed! This is a HUGE upgrade to the previous tenants, May's Gourmet Cafe and Deli, which seemed to just disappear one day with 19 Degrees to move in pretty soon afterwards. They have a large sandwich/panini/wrap selection, which was well priced with most items in the $5.50-$7.50 range. The sandwiches come with chips and a pickle spear. They serve baked goods from Metropolitan Bakery (!!). I saw bagels, breads, pastries, cookies, and granola. I am hoping that they do breakfast sandwiches on those tasty looking bagels! La Colombe coffee is also served, and there is a lengthy coffee/tea/espresso menu. I also noticed a smoothie menu but did not check out the varieties. There is also a small refrigerated/frozen section where you can pick up various beverages, a pint of ice cream to go, or a small variety of fresh produce (tomato, onion, avocado, limes, lemons). The inside was redone and has a classy look now. New rustic wood/granite counter was installed, and the place looks CLEAN and well maintained. I also enjoyed they staff quite a bit, they were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I had a chat with a fellow neighbor who was very proud to have designed the logo for the store and was singing its praises while I was there. Thanks for a nice addition to the neighborhood, I'll be looking forward to coming back!

Have only been here for beer runs. A little more expensive than your beer distributor, but within walking distance to my apartment so it's worth the price of convenience. Selection is pretty good. Employees are friendly. My bf raves about the sandwiches, though I've never had one personally.

Andrew K.
This place is a solid corner/deli market and a huge upgrade over the previous tenant. They're a great option when looking to grab a sandwich or salad on the go. They have a vast selection of chips/drinks and recently added beer. The beer selection is also quite impressive. The staff is always helpful and strives to satisfy their customers. This is a great neighborhood anchor that serves it purpose.

I always thought Mays was an underrated deli but looking back its like night and day compared to what 19 degrees has done. This place now gets 5 stars for cleanliness as I'm guessing the lack there of at Mays ultimately led to its demise. As for the sandwiches the new menu has a nice variety of classic deli sandwiches as well as more pre-crafted items such as paninis. Overall the menu is eerily similar to Palm Gourmet but that's good company to be with They use boar heads meats (+1) and the ingredients are always fresh. The Jewish hoagie with Russian dressing would be what I go with most often but I have yet to make a disappointing order and I eat here at least once a week. The prices lean on the high side for the quantity and the speed of service can be slow but this is a fantastic lunch option in the graduate hospital area. Recently they have been closed on multiple occasions with a sign in the window related to a liquor license, I guess this review will have to be continued......

I love this place. -Open 7 days/week - Accepts debit cards - Great selection of beers - Allows dogs inside - Fantastic sandwiches - Great selection of Ben and Jerry's Favorites: breakfast sandwiches on metropolitan bagels and the P1 panini: chipotle chicken, gounda, avocado.

Still the same wonderful mom and pop deli - they now have peach Joe iced tea (my favorite!) and they're open until midnight on Saturdays. Perfect for when you need to grab an impromptu six pack late at night.

GET A PANINI! I love this place and the paninis are incredible. They use Boar's Head meats and they have fast service, interesting beers and they take debit. It's a great little local sandwich shop!

I am in love with 19 Degrees and I'm not afraid to let the world know! So thankful for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel on Saturday morning and a turkey hoagie for lunch. Not to mention, a fairly decently priced beer selection. The staff is fantastic and will put a smile on your face. Weekend mornings can be busy, but you can always call ahead to have your order ready when you arrive. It's EVERYTHING you could ask for in a corner market.

Great food and beer selection with terrible customer service. The staff is either high or just doesn't care AT ALL. If the TV is on, prepare to be outright ignored by the cashier.

19 Degrees is a solid step up from the market that was previously in this space. It still serves a similar purpose (deli/market), but the feel is much nicer. I'd be just as comfortable sitting down for a bite as I do taking my sammies to go. The counter staff is friendly and they also seem to have regulars at lunch time. That said, my sandwich was slightly off from what I requested when I stopped in last week. It was still tasty, just lacking all the components I wanted (which I actually had to repeat while ordering). I definitely like that they use quality deli meats and everything tastes super fresh. I'll keep 19 Degrees in the rotation for quick and inexpensive lunches during the week.

some bad attitudes working there. sometimes not greeted, thanked or looked at, sometimes ignored until whatever's on that stupid tv is over... like you're in their living room bothering them and they're doing you a favor by being better than xing wang. for these reasons i avoid and order sidecar or something from south street.

Erin S.
This place is great. I live very close to it and eat here often. Their selection of sandwiches is great, they make good breakfast sandwiches as well. My go to is the Cajun Turkey panini. They also have a small selection of grocery items, a large selections of drinks, some fresh fruits and veggies, ice cream, etc. which are expensive, but convenient when short on time. The family that owns it and work there are so friendly. The prices are reasonable. And they have recently applied for license to sell alcohol! Yay! It's a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

Tara F.
I live right around the corner from this adorable family owned deli and probably go there 2-4 times a week for sandwiches, coffee and BEER! The staff is friendly and accommodating and the beer selection is actually kind of amazing. They serve la columbe coffee and even carry some basic grocery items.

I came here needing a breakfast sandwich, and looked past some of the poor reviews. I didn't want a $7 egg sandwich from Honey's with 2 sides - just a decent egg sandwich. I strive to ignore hyperbole on yelp, so I paid no attention to Mary S.'s comment about the horrible smell of moth balls and bad ice, but I should have listened. The smell is really bad, and weird. Unfortunately I can't leave a place once the nice person behind the counter looks me in the eye, so I ordered a sandwich. I then look back as their making it, and there are 4-5 people crammed in a little space fumbling around doing what 1 could have done more efficiently, when I see them put an egg patty in the microwave. I can't believe I didn't see this on any other reviews. You do not serve breakfast sandwiches if you're not going to cook them. Stick to beer and hoagie take out. It took them over 10 minutes to microwave an egg sandwich, and they didn't even toast the bagel! If I ever run out of breakfast fixings again, I'll go to Honey's. I really don't want to be harsh because I'd love for a place like this to work in the neighborhood, I just wish they'd listen to some of the reviews.

In some ways, this is a review update for May's deli. I was a big fan of May's when it first opened. It was a giant step forward from the typical corner store in the neighborhood. Something went wrong, The whole store slipped and the quality of product and service plunged down hill. My understanding is that May subleased the store to someone else, who did not have the same interest in making it a quality store. I believe May has retaken back the operation. A quick overhaul and a name change and presto, 19 degrees. The new look store is great, the products are fresh and the La Colombe coffee is excellent. I have noticed more people sitting in, akin to a nice coffee house. The staff are nice and they recognize you pretty quickly if you stop in a couple times. It has the potential to be a neighborhood favorite. May told my wife that they will be selling bottle beers, and hope to have outside seating. I would be very pleased to have a Food and Friends type place so close to home.

19 Degrees has changed a lot in the past few months. To begin with, they are now open later: 11pm Mon-Thurs Midnight Fri & Sat 10pm Sun And, most importantly, they now sell BEER! This is a blessing in the South of South neighborhood, which used to be a verified "beer desert." They offer six packs, 12 packs, and single 24-oz bottles to go. Over the winter, they've fully remodeled the place. Their Facebook page states that they now offer delivery, have outdoor seating, and are dog-friendly, but I can't personally verify any of those claims. They sell sandwiches, wraps, sushi, fresh baked goods, La Colombe coffee, and fresh smoothies. Just about the only thing that hasn't changed about 19 Degrees Cafe is the genuine "Mom & Pop" feel of the place. It's run by a family of generous, caring, friendly, and hard-working people who aim to please every customer and give back to their community. This is the type of refreshing neighborhood spot where they get to know you by name, and if you're short a few cents on your purchase, they'll trust you to pay them back next time. Don't take advantage! This small-town style of generosity is hard to find in the city, and it doesn't always last! 19 Degrees Cafe is a diamond in the rough. Let's return their spirit of kindness with appreciation and frequent business.

My goto place for just about anything quick. Always has anything I need in a pinch. Milk, bananas, veggies, whatever. Good selection of beers is a plus. They seem like good people as well and it is nice to spend my money to support local businesses rather than the walmarts and wawa's of the world.

Mary S.
I want to have good things to say, I really do, but just cannot get past the rancid smell that permeates this entire place. It smells like a combination of mothballs and bad ice. Thought it was a one time thing but the smell is still there and grosses me out to the point where I wouldn't buy food there, despite the good reviews. Ideally, I'd like to visit much more often, but I just can't get past that. And the fact that I picked up 6 small sodas/iced teas the other week and it cost me close to $15... Ridiculous!

This Deli is like out of Little Shop of Horrors. The guy behind the register plays King Pimp, CEO and all around A-hole. The food is great but when you have to wait for Jabba the Hut Commander in Chief to tell the minimum wage sandwich maker what to do in a falsetto, cartoon, Muppet crazed voice, all intentional, the best food in the world comes out sour. If they would allow the other folks in there to just make sandwiches as they are ordered and stop the BS of dealing with Jabba, all would be better , faster and tastier. I have gone their multiple times and am ready to walk a few blocks out of my way. Not interested in the screwy drama Jabba gets into.

Don't take advantage! This small-town style of generosity is hard to find in the city, and it doesn't always last! 19 Degrees Cafe is a diamond in the rough. Let's return their spirit of kindness with appreciation and frequent business.

My goto place for just about anything quick. Always has anything I need in a pinch. Milk, bananas, veggies, whatever. Good selection of beers is a plus. They seem like good people as well and it is nice to spend my money to support local businesses rather than the walmarts and wawa's of the world.

I want to have good things to say, I really do, but just cannot get past the rancid smell that permeates this entire place. It smells like a combination of mothballs and bad ice. Thought it was a one time thing but the smell is still there and grosses me out to the point where I wouldn't buy food there, despite the good reviews. Ideally, I'd like to visit much more often, but I just can't get past that. And the fact that I picked up 6 small sodas/iced teas the other week and it cost me close to $15... Ridiculous!
