Village Deli

A Bloomington classic, I've returned to the Village Deli again and again over the years. The food isn't particularly unique, but it is good, is served quickly, and portions are plenty big. I know I'll be back, it's just a matter of time :)

The worst breakfast I’ve ever had. The french toast was basically toasted bread: no batter, no seasoning, nothing. The side of Canadian bacon tasted like it had spent all of twenty-five seconds on the grill. The fresh-squeezed orange juice was delicious but that seems to be all that this place offers in terms of quality. Perhaps I could have ordered something else if the server has bothered to come by and check on us. I’m rather stymied by how popular this place is with such sub-par food and high prices for what you get.

Downtown Bloomington staple breakfast joint know for their pancakes and snarky/fun attitude. In reality, the serverers are fun and prompt and the food really is incredible. Pancakes are huge, THICK, and fluffy. The corned beef hash is home made (not processed). Serving sizes are substantial and we all took food home. Highly reccomend The Village Deli and look forward to stopping back in next visit.

Solid 4. I had the veggie omelette. the omelette had a ton of vegetable in it including mushrooms, broccoli, onion and peppers. But instead of the traditional fluffy omelette, it was a really really thin one - almost like a crepe. My wife has the pumpkin pancakes and she said they were very good.

This is a great college diner restaurant. I went here for breakfast after the little 500 and the options made it hard to decide. Thankfully I was there with 3 other people so I was able to sample many options. I chose the lox bagel. I was not disappointed. It had every ingredient I would have wanted and tasted devine. The breakfast tacos were also delicious. My partner opted for the turkey sausage which I felt was a better choice for the flavor. I only drank water, but the coffee smelled good. Our server was very nice and on top of our drink refills. I don't make it to Bloomington too often, but this was a great way to start Sunday morning.
