555 Gourmet Deli - Bala Cynwyd

I visited because it was within walking distance of the Main Line Surgery Center. This was a good lunch option. Basic deli choices. Service was friendly and quick enough given that it’s not fast food, but deli food prepared as specifically ordered. I had the tuna melt I got a turkey special to go. Both were good, solid, if unspectacular deli food.

They are one of the cheaper lunch options where I would say the food is healthy. As in, you don't get added butter or hidden dressings. What you see is what you get. Vegetables are always fresh and staff has always been friendly. I give it 4 stars because some of their food items are hit or miss. sandwiches, salads and hoagies are usually a sure thing. Their breakfast is good but their bacon is bad (in my experience). They are very affordable but if you do add ons they charge you. That's probably how they keep the price down. So adding tomato to my cheese omelet is something like $0.30 or $0.50. I think this is fine and I have no problem with this business model. Even with a lot of add ons, 555 Deli is still a cheaper option that Panera or chipotle. Plus it just feels cleaner than those other two. California club is one of my favorites. I just had the falafel sandwich and it was an interesting combination but I liked it a lot. They take 10-15 mins for an order, so call ahead if you're in a hurry. Like some other cementer said, it's not fast food so don't expect fast food wait times.

Much More Than A Deli In The Lobby! It smelled good, and it was. Simple, but varied menu. I had the minestrone soup and Mediterranean Salad. The 555 Building is lucky to have the Deli!

The people are nice and the food is good. I recommend the California club as well as the chicken cheesesteak
