This place is a hidden gem! I tried the smash Burger and fries and it was devastating! One of the best burgers I've had! And I don't mess around with burgers. I'm a burger snob. Better than most Instagram famous spots. So much flavor! Fries were good too. My friend had the Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich and said it was delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff.

I had a meeting across the street and decided to go to The Village to get lunch. Because there were so many of us who decided to get lunch from there, the line was long. The staff there were quick to fill the orders and were friendly in doing so. I ordered a turkey sandwich which was very good, tasted fresh, and was worth the wait. I recommend getting food from The Village.

I was searching for a cafe in the El Sereno community to have a meeting on a weekday afternoon, and found several options. I asked the person who we were meeting with to select which location would be most convenient for him, and he selected The Village Mart & Deli. Although we had never been there before, we were happy to give it a try. It was a sweltering hot Los Angeles day, so I was also worried about whether there would be seating inside the cafe. It worked out really well and we were able to sit inside---it was nice and comfortable, not too crowded. Ambience was great! I had the Cali Sandwich (chicken salad) - Diced grilled chicken with bacon bits, mayo, celery, green onion with leaf lettuce, avocado and Coney Island mustard. It was great! Fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. JJ got the Tuna Salad Sandwich, which is one of his favorites, and he really loved it. We shared a large bag of Kettle BBQ chips, which made a great late lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it was a great and comfortable place to have a meeting while having a bite to eat. Parking is plentiful. JJ chatted with the owner--very community oriented business. Great to support family owned businesses, and we look forward to going back to try some of their other menu items.

very cute set up with lots of seating outdoors. They have events sometimes that promote community bonding that I appreciate. I went in the morning lots of parking and relaxing music. prices you see on menu reflect price at checkout. yummy !

More like 3.5 stars Situated on a lonely corner on Soto between Huntington & the 10 freeway The Village Mart & Deli is a charming place to grab breakfast and lunch; they also apparently have some sort of happy hour but I think they close at 6pm. Food is fresh, tasty, and a bit on the pricy side, but everything is these days. They're also a bit slow in preparing your order, so relax on the patio and dig the music while you wait. They also have beer & wine available. Nice spot.

I've been coming here for years and I have to say they keep getting better and better! I'm obsessed with their angus burger!! That thing hits the spot! Accompanied by a side of onion rings! Just know you'll be heavily satisfied! Just recently tried their chicken pesto sandwich too! That hit as well! You can never go wrong with coming here. The owners and workers treat you like family and make sure that you're satisfied at all times.

I ordered online from The Village Mart & Deli for a weekend picnic I was planning with my boyfriend. The plan was to have sandwiches, and this was just the perfect place to get great coffee and delicious sandwiches! They host their online ordering system on Clover here, and its quick and easy to use! I definitely recommend. I placed my order the night before and our order was ready for pick-up when I arrived at the restaurant - right on time! Everyone was super nice and greeted my boyfriend and I. We definitely want to come back here for a sit-down breakfast or brunch! I ordered a BLT Sandwich on Toasted Croissant $11.75, Chicken Pesto Sandwich $14.25, Potato Salad $4.50, and two hot coffees. My favorite was the Chicken Pesto Sandwich, it had a great pesto flavor and the sundried tomatoes in it were perfect. It may have changed the way I make sandwiches at home now - the sun dried tomatoes are a brilliant idea! The BLT sandwich in a croissant was delicious as well - my boyfriend's favorite actually! The croissant was buttery and flaky just as expected and they packed it with lots of bacon! My Oat Milk Latte w/ a little sweetener was made perfectly as well. Just the right amount of sweetener and the taste was just how I like it! Special thanks to The Village Mart & Deli for such a great to-go experience. Our picnic was 100% better with your food and coffee as the star of the show. I can't wait to come back for a dine-in experience next time!

Was in the area and service is still as great as every other time I've been here in the past. Happy to have caught up with Miss Linda!! My second home! Great food. Amazing service always feels like FAMILY! OUR ORDER: + Angus Cheeseburger Village Combo - includes fries + Turkey Swiss Club + Side Fries Everything was amazing!! Love coming here and I'll continue coming to support my home away from home! (:
