Nelson Cheese & Deli

Amazing place for a good old sandwich!!!! This is my cheat day and treat your self day which are on Thursday and Friday. This is the lunch spot to go. It gets busy around noon so expect to be waiting. They have salads, sandwichs. Hot biggies, hot dogs, and sweets. The service is outsmstanding and very friendly. My go to meal is a St paul special. So good on the Pumpernickel bread. The Mr. T is good as well. I love tuna salad sandwiches and it pretty good here. They have a bunch is meal deals sinmakensure to check them out. I usually get a sandwich and a cup of a side salad such as potato salad. The salad are good, I go here to treat myself. I salads every day. I sometimes I get the health nut. I haven't gotten a hot sandwich here yet. Someday I'm going to get one, but I herd the BLT and Ruben are pretty good. My goal this year is to try new things so stay tuned.

Stopped in for lunch today and it very good. Call in your order at least 30 minutes in advance and it will be ready for you. Just pick up at the cash register. You can also order a day ahead by email or just walk in.Parking is in the back and fills up quick. Just wait a few minutes to park, if needed, as turnover is fast.They have sandwiches, soup, hot dogs and salads made to order.The Executive Plan C box lunch is a great value as it includes a sandwich, deli salad, fruit cup and a cookie. They have other box lunch combos too.The Dieter's Choice sandwich was very good. They had me at sprouts. The wild rice bread is very good.I tried the Mostacioli salad and the oatmeal raisin cookie. Everything was a solid choice. Deli salad options change daily.They also have a small case with desserts and some meats and cheese in another case. Beverages are available too.Great service too.

We LOVE this place, the minute you walk in you smell the fresh meat and cheese smells. Their breads are so moist and delicious as well. I pick up blocks of cheese and their delicious cheese curds when I come in for a mouth watering sandwich. I bring these sandwiches to people as gifts too that have never tried it here. Just a small quaint building in a little mall. So good. They sure do n to skimp on the meat.

Hands down one of my favorite sandwich spots in the twin cities! My family and I have been coming here for years and years. The Cheesemaker and St. Paul Special are our favorites. Cheesemaker is massive sandwich and it's always 2-3 meals for me, but oh so fantastic. The different types of cheeses and it's so fresh. The St. Paul special has a great tasty special sauce with a pumpernickel bread and nice amount of meat. Like I said, cannot go wrong with either sandwich. I believe you can get your sandwiches hot or cold, I prefer mine cold though. Staff are always so friendly. Food is always fantastic. Clean, bright, cute little shop with lots to offer- sandwiches, salads, hot dogs/brats, and some baked goods. I always want to try something new but cannot seem to bring myself to venture from my norm, haha! Highly recommend calling in your order ahead of time...... just makes for seamless pickup and not needing to wait because the place gets busy... makes sense, it's so good! We've also done catering for a family wedding before and it was great as well.

A Como Ave fave! I have gotten boxed lunches or ordered online many times before, but this last visit, I finally was able to go in and place an order. Nelson's does not disappoint!It is a small, quaint space, but with lots of little goodies tucked away. Their bread and butter (no pun intended) is the deli/sandwiches, but don't sleep on the soda fridge and checking out the sweets.On this particular visit, I got the walk-in #2 special, which was any sandwich and any salad side. I got a meatball sandwich and the potato salad. The meatball was right up my alley (a side note, the hot sandwiches do take a but longer to put together, but I only waited about 5 minutes max). The potato salad was a very mustardy one, so if you prefer a more mayo-based one, skip to a different salad.The line moves very quickly and there isn't seating, so everything is to-go, but so yummy!

Lunch take out order:- Philly Beef and Cheese sandwich. It looked so tempting... there was a lot of cheese but, what happened to the flavor? It had left on vacation. Got to two stars thanks to their soup of the day. Wished we had gone with a different lunch choice.

My go to sandwich shop! I live further away than I used to and no longer work down the block and I literally plan a trip there anytime I have an excuse to pass by. I love the veggie sandwich, w/ avocado & sunflower seeds obviously. I always get extra sunflower seeds and add red/yellow peppers from the salad bar. The salads, sides, and desserts are all tasty and reasonably priced. The owner is incredibly down to earth, kind, and humorous. They do take out a little after hours (call ahead) and also do takeout on Saturday ;)

I ordered some deli trays for a Shiva and the family was very happy with the presentation, size and delivery.

Very friendly staff very efficient operation. The salad making operation looked awesome. My sandwich was...OK, not as much meat as I was expecting on a substantial sandwich. It's possible the brand new employee gave me half of what I paid for. 'The Manhattan' would not be my next choice but I'm eager to try another sandwich. Take out only.

Great sandwiches and verifiably staff! A perfect spot to stop by in your way through Nelson. They also have a wide selection of cheeses and fresh made baguettes!
