About Downtown Deli And Cafe

Let me introduce you to Downtown Deli And Cafe, a laid-back restaurant that feels right at home in the middle of Winston-Salem’s daily rhythm. Located at One W 4th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101, United States, this spot is the kind of place you recommend when someone asks where locals actually eat. Downtown Deli And Cafe blends the comfort of a neighborhood deli with the energy of a downtown café, so it works just as well for a quick lunch as it does for a relaxed sit-down meal. The vibe is casual and welcoming, which makes it easy to drop in whether you’re between meetings or meeting friends. Service options are flexible, too, with outdoor seating for nice days, no-contact delivery when convenience matters, plus delivery, takeaway, and dine-in choices that fit different schedules. Food is where this restaurant really connects with people. You’ll find classic comfort food that feels familiar, alongside healthier options that don’t sacrifice flavor. The salad bar is a standout for anyone who likes to customize a meal, while small plates make sharing simple and fun. Coffee is always part of the experience, whether you’re starting your morning or grabbing a midday pick-me-up, and quick bite options keep things moving without feeling rushed. Vegetarian options are thoughtfully included, which makes the menu feel inclusive without overcomplicating it. What I appreciate most is how Downtown Deli And Cafe balances speed with quality, offering food that’s fresh, satisfying, and consistent. It’s the type of restaurant that quietly becomes part of your routine, the place you stop by once and then keep coming back to because it simply works for everyday dining. For newcomers exploring the downtown area, it also helps that the location is easy to spot and surrounded by offices, shops, and foot traffic, giving the space a steady buzz throughout the day. There’s an effortless mix of quick service and friendly interaction that makes the experience feel personal rather than transactional.

Nice deli, tucked into the corner of One W 4th. Entrance is on 1st floor to the left, but if you are a kid or a kid at heart use the revolving door. Nice sized deli, with college theme and a good flow and not to loud. Sandwiches are tasty. Made with quality meats that have a good flavor. Served with your choice of side. I opted for the house made chips which were fine. I like mine a little crisper but that could have because I showed up during lunch rush and everyone was ordering chips. Stop they were not bad by any means. A nice place to grab a good sandwich when you are downtown

Best pastrami sandwich in Winston Salem. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. One time when their card readers were down, and we didn’t have cash, the owner told us not to worry about payment and to get back to them whenever we could. That’s the kind of interaction that puts a locally owned place like this over any chain restaurant. And they’ve got homemade ranch!

I am in total love of this place. Wanted breakfast but didn't want normal fast foods, so we ordered delivery from here right before their breakfast window closed. 9ur foods were fresh and hot, exactly what we ordered, and SO GOOD. I will definitely be ordering from them again and again and again. Try their croissant breakfast sandwiches with a side of loaded potatoes. One sandwich each and shared the side, now my husband are so full and so satisfied. Loved loved loved it.

Love this restaurant!! We are new to the area and so this was our first time in but it’s going to added to the rotation for sure. The food was great I got a BLT with the blueberry applesauce. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is so comfortable-felt like home

Very good food at very good prices. Comfortable surroundings and super friendly staff. Potato salad tasted like homemade burgers, wraps were second to none.

Six weeks before the NCMEA conference, I called Downtown Deli and Café to ask about placing a large lunch order for 100 high school students who would be performing at the event. I was connected with Scott, who immediately assured me they could handle an order of that size and was incredibly accommodating with all the details that come with feeding a large group. Over the next several weeks, Scott stayed in touch and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. When the big day arrived, he and the wonderful team at Downtown Deli were ready with our wraps, chips, and cookies—perfectly prepared and right on time. Scott, thank you for your excellent communication and organization. You were so on top of things that I never had to make a single dreaded follow-up call. You took the order, handled every detail, greeted us with warmth and smiles, and even helped us load everything onto the truck. The wraps were delicious, and the cookies were a huge hit. You and your team are awesome—thank you again!
