Cafe Airlie

This sun-shined Street, is seconds off of Broad street Newark. Cafe Airlie is like walking into Cheers (The 80’s TV show where everyone knows your name). The owner/ manager is the friendliest person. Calling everyone that walk in by name. I soon felt like I was eating breakfast in my living and talking with my family. Everyone one that came in seems to interact. It really felt like home. The breakfast platter was yummy. Yesterday I had a chopped salad. Checkout their menu. I’m sure you’ll find something you like. Shop local. Eat with friends or family. This cafe was clean and had spacious seating. The staff was friendly. Come on in.

My boyfriend was craving a hot pastrami sandwich for lunch and looked all over Newark’s downtown area for a good place. Boy oh boy were we lucky to find this cute deli hidden between shops in the middle of Commerce Street! The sandwiches we ordered were tasty, grand in size and appropriately priced! This will definitely be our go-to shop for sandwiches from now on!! The cooks and staff were beyond friendly as well as professional. We absolutely recommend Cafe Airlie!!!!

This has been my go-to spot for a while now, the sandwiches are great! Typically what we do on a day that there won't be too much time in-between meetings, is order two breakfast sandwiches, grab two bags of chips and split a sandwich. Reasonably priced considering the great quality of food. It can get pretty busy here so I tend to call ahead, by the time I'm down the elevator, walk there, and grabbing my drinks the food is ready. Give this deli a try!

This place was recommended by a coworker since we both wanted a decent pastrami sandwich and our regular go to is currently closed. I went in believing it was a good idea. The place was clean and the customer service was good. The wait time was not too long, even though they were starting to get a little busy. I ordered a pastrami on rye with lettuce, tomatoes and mustard. My coworker ordered just pastrami on rye. They do not have pickles. Prices were reasonable. When I got to my office and opened my sandwich, I was disappointed with what I saw. Grease! The wrapping was soaked in grease. The bread was dark and mushy with grease, and the grease was oozing out of the sandwich. The bread on the side of my sandwich that had the lettuce was still normal looking rye, because the lettuce was a type of barrier. My coworker had the same issue with her sandwich. Grease oozing out of the sandwich and soaking the bread! Since we were hungry, she and I tried to blot the grease with paper towels so we could at least eat the pastrami. That didn't work because, not only was it greasy, it was entirely too salty! My coworker said she loves salt, but it was way too salty even for her. This lunch was inedible for both of us! Time and money wasted! Never again!

This spot has been on my radar for a while and happy I got to try it. I called in my order of the Sweet Lou with a nice guy that answered. When I arrived I couldn't find parking. Parking in this area is terrible so be prepared. When I walked in the man said my name and gave me my food and it came to about $10. I paid via credit card and left. When I tasted the sandwich it was pretty good. I liked the flavoring and it was plenty especially for the price. I will be back for more.
