Finally, a decent place in Auckland to get a pastrami on rye thats chock full of meat, not the usual Kiwi way of a few thin shavings - these guys dont scrimp on the fillings. And the
We've been back twice now and since had the Rueben which is an upgrade to the pastrami on rye with the inclusion of saurkraut, a pickle and swiss. PLus you get a side of either slaw or crisps.
The owner has experience working in proper NY deli's and has pulled off an awesome version right here in Kiwiland. . Next time we go it will be for a Cuban and a Lobster Roll. The time after that it will be for their Roto chooks which get rotisserie batch cooked daily and when theyre gone theyre gone so it pays to order ahead.
The service is fast and knowledgable and you can sit in the window or outside of it and watch the rest of the world go by drooling at your lovely food.
Im a Chef by trade and I give it 5 stars for the fact that what they do, they do it exceptionally well. My wife is from the US and she gives it 5 because it is at least as good - or better - than what she has had in the US, the home of pastrami and rye. So I reckon our combined rating is pretty legit, but you gotta try it for yo'self.
The staff were very friendly and helpful! The guy when cooking was joking and talking which was great service but the best part was the food! It was so tasty!! I had the chicken and gravy hot sandwich! It was delicious! We also brought a ready made sandwich which was good too! My only thing was it was the music was a little loud- but that's just for while we were talking to the chef.
Can't wait to come back and try more!
After ordering dinner on Friday night for a family event (chicken, pork, sliders and a range of salads) .. we have had this also for lunch both days of weekend with the amount of food that was provided.., fantastic food and always a warming welcome. Our guests were well impressed! I went for Sunday morning coffee and couldn't resist the smell of the breakfast so ordered bagels all round. Awesome that even our 3 year old got special treatment with a honey bagel and he got to watch it being made. Well done team pastrami and rye.. we will be back �
Best bacon and egg bagel for breakfast today. The watermelon, plum and blood orange juice was delicious too. Highly recommend!!
I am loving Ellerslie's newest eatery. The place is warm and inviting, service is great and the food is delicious! The fresh juices or muesli & yogurt is really tasty and good for breakfast on the run. theres always a good selection of sweets and pastries for a sweet tooth like me :) & The Salmon and Goats Cheese bagel is exceptionally good too.
Not only was my Reuben extra yummy, the character of the place and staff gives a feeling of authenticity. I must try some of the other food.
had the Philly Cheese Steak, it was the best I've ever had, and would recommend it to anyone keen, will be back for another when you have these
Friendly staff, awesome looking food cabinets . The best crispy chicken roll in Auckland .

Great coffee and great food! I have eaten in NYC deli's and this is the perfect NZ interpretation of one. the Reuben is definitely worth trying.
Probably the best goddam sandwich in Auckland. Hands down delicious.
Great food, great lads, was better than expected. Will definitely go back again - simple food done extremely well, and very good coffee!
Hands down the best reuben sandwich I’ve tried in Auckland 😍 - I ordered both reuben and cuban sandwich and fell in love with both. Price is reasonable for what you get and will def be coming back 😋
First time here, enjoyed it. Meaty and delicious
Super delish - no pun intended. Ordered the bacon buttie with fried egg and the reuben NY style. Bacon butties greasy goodness combines with the crispy bottom fried egg and bacon will make you want to order a 2nd. But before you do, try out the reuben to get your pastrami fix because it's definitely comparable with overseas NY deli standards. Only thing I wished for is that my cheese was melted as advertised! Would've scored full marks otherwise. Good stuff
Had the Cuban. Delicious. Prices are up there.! Lots of filling. Lovely staff.
I love the vibe of this place- it’s super cute, although it doesn’t have that much seating. The food is amazing (particularly the bagels), albeit a little pricey. One of the better cafes in Ellerslie.
Sandwiches to die for ...delicious. And they were ok with my request of no cheese.
Not a lot of sitting space so be ready to be eating in front of the grill
Crunchy deliciousness!!!
I had the patty melt and my oh my it was a delectable experience for my tastebuds 🤤
Gotta get yourself one if you haven't try them
Ordered a Cuban sandwich and my friend got the Reuben and we had a half each. While we both enjoyed the Reuben very much, the Cuban was spectacular. Lovely pork flavour with the melty cheese and the pickle to balance everything on lovely soft bread that was grilled to perfection. The supreme coffee was really good too and the service was friendly and attentive despite being busy with takeaways.
We also tried the chocolate caramel slice which was luscious and light and not too sugary which i personally like about desserts.
Would love to see more seating there as it is a lovely atmosphere to be in and will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in the area.
Great place with friendly service, nice to find genuine specialist sandwich deli shop tucked away in Ellerslie. Recommend the Cuban, but pick anything and you can’t go wrong. And for those with the sweet tooth I did resist the Jelly Donut but it was tempting.
Fed Deli has always been my go to for a good Reuben sandwhich but Pastrami and Rye gives them a real fight. Love the addition of chips on the side to give a bit of crunch!
Ordered a “make it a Reuben” on Ubereats and very impressed by the quality of the sandwich. If you’re after a hearty quick lunch, this is the one for you!
Pastrami and Rye does amazing sandwiches. In a beautiful almost industrial setting, the friendly bright service and their uniforms really bring you to a NY feel.
The Reuben has deliciously fat-streaked pastrami, all house smoked and cured, which gives the sandwich a rich flavour. I would recommend this if you want something with a strong meaty flavour.
Otherwise, if you're a fan of decadent cheesy melts, the Patty Melt is delicious heaven. Chopped scotch steak and melty Swiss cheese line generously buttered slices of toasted caraway rye. It was crunchy melty cheesy goodness with the focus on the flavours melting together rather than loading it with meat.
All sandwiches come on a bed of packet chips and with a pickle. For a decent no frills sandwich with hearty ingredients, this is your place.
Ordered via uber eats.
I ordered the bacon, tomato, lettuce bagel. I am vegetarian so removed the bacon and replaced with cream cheese.
Yesterday I asked to add on Avo. They did not have any onsite, however rang me and were prepared to drive up the road and purchase one-just for me. Fantastic Service.
Good sized bagel, good fillings. Would like to see the menu a little more affordable-however I've ordered it twice so must be worth it!
Ordered the Reuben to go and it was so good!
The Corned Beef is a little more fatty compared to other Reubens I’ve tried but it’s not a bad thing at all. It was soft and tender and the salty and fatty meat paired really well with the Sauerkraut.
Not too sure about their service tho.
I was waiting for my order at the counter and was watching them make the sandwich and they looked so uncoordinated(I don’t know if the guy was knew) and flustered.
Also not to mention I waited there a really long time.
They basically couldn’t find me and they had made my order. I was literally sitting right I front of them. I don’t understand how you can’t remember a face. And when I asked that I’m waiting for my sandwich she grabs the one that had been sitting there for over 15mins and didn’t even say sorry.
I’d only go back cause the food was actually good.
Pastrami & Rye is a homage to NYC staples such as Katz's. Tried the Reuben (came with a side of chips and pickles) with a long black. Not meat heavy as I expected, but the tenderness of the pastrami is to die for. The balance of flavours is a modern take on this sandwich classic (perhaps a bit healthier). Coffee is also decent. There is not a lot of seating but most customers tend to get takeaway so there is definitely seating on their side benches #nycstyle. Definitely a spot to try!
Been here 4 times now as they are open pretty early. Tried the reuben the cuban the french dip and a patty melt. Cuban was byfar the best. Shops on the small side but takeaway is easy enough
Every time I drive past I keep thinking that I must try this place. And I wish I had done so earlier. The service was efficient. The lady behind the counter seemed to know all the regulars and their orders. The coffee was amazing. The bacon buttie was nice. Yes the place is a bit small. But it is a coffee shop not a restaurant. Also a little bit expensive but well worth it. And the place has a great vibe.
Always delicious. Great sandwiches and coffee. Friendly service. One of my favorite breakfast places. Reuben is really great. Juices are fantastic as well. Little gem tucked away in Ellerslie.
Came here for lunch as was craving a good sandwich. We ordered the Reuben, Cubano and croque monsieur. All were fantastic. Would definitely come back. Good value too!
Yummy lunch today (Wednesday 23 May 2018) here in the quaint Ellerslie Village, we had the Ruben ($14 or $20 w slaw n juice) with slaw n carbonate juice, OMG the meat is actually brisket but like u have never tasted, it's slow cooked n matched with a home massaged sauerkraut n melted swiss cheese, very NYC style - it was divine. Stool bar type seating but not a busy place so was able to dine in. We'll definitely return.
Uber eats introduced myself and the girls at work to our new favourite coffee and breakfast spot!
The coffees are amazing - as a barista myself I’m fussy as heck about coffee and can say every coffee from Pastrami and Rye has been perfect. Don’t know how they do it but I’m lovin it!!
My favourite bagel is the bacon, tomato and avocado.
The bacon buttie is so damn good for a hangover - saved me at work a few times!
Absolutely love this place & would highly recommend.
The BEST sandwiches in Auckland. Love the Cuban & the brekkie rolls. Excellent coffee and friendly service plus an array of divine pastries & baking. One of my favourites. I only wish they had tables so you could eat it.
The Reuben and pastrami on rye both get the thumbs up. Really tasty. The coffee is good and so are the donuts and carrot cake. Friendly staff, attractive layout and a nice change from the usual lunch offerings. Definitely one to go back to.
What can I say I love a good sandwich!. And these guys do a really good one. You have a loyal customer in me!. Keep up the good work 👍. Nice .
By far my favourite local place to pick up coffee! The baristas are always smiling & welcoming!! Shame that it isn't big enough with seating to take the whole family! 😊
We just love this place!
The staff are always friendly.
The food is consistently delicious and super fresh (the bread and buns are amazing!). I tried the shrimp po boy and it was so good. I also love their Reuben sandwich, which is always a generous size with bonus chips and coleslaw on the side.
I think that their coffee is the best in Ellerslie.
I would highly recommend this place.
Really enjoyed the Ruben and a bagel. Generous amounts of filling and freshly made to order! Nice selection of sweet things from Bluebells cakery. Coffee and smoothies are also very nice. Not. Lot of space to sit which is a shame but easy to get take away.
Finally someone is doing good, healthy options for sandwiches. Their not so healthy options are pretty delicious too, just know what you're ordering and bask in your gluttony. Sweets from Bluebells and amazing breads and pastries to complete the decadence, or balance out that healthy vegan sandwich.
First visit to this cool new spot in Ellerslie.
Incredibly impressed with first of all the magnificent service and then the sandwich. Wowza.
'Bitchin.
Get there now.
Great sandwiches, fast and clear service, fabulous xmas decor with running train circuit on tracks above you. Not.much space to eat and dine in, mostly takeaway but compromise the integrity of the sandwich. But still good. Would come back from French dip and more gravy
Wish I should have tried Pastrami as their shop name! We went there for a breakfast so i ordered some of bf menu which was bacon and caramelized onion with brioche buns something.. So heavenly buttery. and picked cinnamon donut for takeaway. Highly recommend to visit here again for another time.
Best local New Yorker sandwich. Try the 500g works if you have a hanger going on. This is a sure fix! Great selection of fresh juices beetroot ginger turmeric is my winner. Beautiful pastries, almond, chocolate and other very yummy specialities. These guys have won lots of awards and do amazing preserves drop in and see for yourself, try the daily specials like Elvis is back.
This place never disappoints!!! Been here a few times, and the food is superb 👌 The staff is very friendly and they serve quite quickly. We have tried a couple of sandwiches, and all are delicious.
Came here on a rainy Saturday. The staff were lovely and by 1.30pm they had sold out most of the cabinet sweets.
I got the Roast beef French dip sandwich and the Cuban Hot sandwich with an iced latte and the caramel donut for dessert.
Meat and bread ratio was perfect. The Cuban reminded me of the sandwiches I had in New York. I think that has to be my favorite closely followed by the Roast beef. I wanted that gravy to be slightly thicker and lots more of the gravy deliciousness.
The coffee was beautiful and the donut was scrumptious. Definitely coming back here again for that Cuban sandwich
Quite a busy place with lots of people ordering take out.
Sandwiches were tasty and the bread was crispy yet it didn’t hurt the mouth. Recommend the cubano.
An absolute favourite if you are looking for an American Hot Deli experience! Staff are fantastic, food is made with love! Their pastrami is the best! We'd love to see them expand to have better seating for dine in experience Atmosphere is fun, they love holiday decorations! A must - visit!
Whoever made my sandwich. You are a legend . A team of professionals in motion making the greatest food right in front of you. Recommend eat in while it's hot.
We ordered the Reuben as a combo with chocolate chip cookie and soda with a Caesar salad.
Caesar Salad - AMAZING! Good anchovy strips throughout, amazing poached eggs, yum dressing and everything was just crisp and fresh tasting. 10/10
Reuben - Flavour so yum but I had so many fatty pieces in mine it let it down a bit. My partner would love those bits but I'm not so keen, especially right now while pregnant. Also can't stand smell or taste if butter so was super grateful that they made me one without butter 🥰. 8/10.
Cookie - A great texture with a nice crunch around the edges but also a chew. I would've wolfed down the whole thing but the flavour was really eggy so personally didn't enjoy the taste (might be another 🤰 aversion though). 6/10
Customer Service - The staff and owner here are honestly so lovely and would come back just because of that! 10/10
Great little sandwich shop tuckaway in the Elleslie village centre. Probably the best sandwich I had in Auckland. Refresh, tasty and full with flavour...
Their coffee is really good and I'm a very picky coffee drinker.
Recommended!!
