Having studied th on line menu on several occasions, I've always come away feeling curious, but not overly so. Sure, the food sounded good; but, was it good enough to bypass the tried and true? Well, this was the day to find out.
I arrived just before noon, and found the small dining area empty. In fairness, these days that's not a good indicator of any establishments popularity, unless the place is packed, which would really be saying something. On the way in, I did note a delivery driver with arms full of orders headed out to the truck. A very good sign, indeed. The staff seemed

Wow this place is Extremely Expensive, like $$$$ for a sandwich.
Two sandwiches and nothing else cost me $26.
One sandwich the bread was actually stale and not very good.
The ingredients were fresh, but the amount of meat that was in the sandwiches was average at best and does Not justify $13.
There's A lot of other places I can spend less money and get more food and the same quality sandwich if not better.
I won't be back.

Yum!! Great sandwich options. I had the keeney club which is basically a club sandwich with avocado and garlic mayo. It soo good. I love their side options, Very creative and all slightly different than the usual. I loved the herb pasta salad- it had chunks of sun dried tomatoes. Everything was perfect, I'll definitely be back.

The deli is very cute and a convenient location on the Silas Deane Highway. I was disappointed with the chicken on my salad; it had no flavor and an odd texture. The time before this, I was disappointed in my sandwich. However, their fries are AMAZING. I am willing to keep trying food from here because locals seem to love it.
Their prices seem high ($30 for a salad, a wrap, and two cans of soda) but considering it is a small, family-owned business, it seems appropriate.

Very disappointed in this place. I got a sandwich with potatoe salad, the sandwich as you can see from my picture had more mozzarella then meat. I mean literally looks like two slices of meat and the potatoe salad had ZERO salt, pepper or flavor of any kind. For $13 I expect a meal from a deli and this was literally smaller then my hand with barely any meat. I feel scammed out of my hard earned money and will most likely take days if not weeks to recover from such a emotionally traumatic experience.
I will say the woman working behind the counter were very kind so they get a star for that. Whoever

In my first experience at Cove Deli I found the food to be very good. I really enjoyed the Angry Chicken and liked the large selection of sandwich options they offer in addition to the ability to customize your own sandwich. My wife ordered a Cheese sandwich and wasn't overly impressed. Everything tasted good but the amount of cheese was underwhelming. I will go back again to try different options.

Had the pleasure of getting a taste of their offerings brought over from CT to NY. We had the George Washington, Wild Turkey, Great Caesar's Wrap, and Grandmother. All great selections, based on my coworkers reactions after taking a bite. Thank you John for personally bringing us these fab creations. We hope to get another taste soon enough. No pictures as everything was devoured before I could bring out the phone. Give them a try, its worth it!

I highly recommend the Cove Deli for their great breakfast offerings, especially their breakfast sandwiches! The personal service you receive there is a bonus too. The cooks prepare your meal as if it were homemade. Although I haven't tried anything on their lunch menu, there are many choices available.

In my last review I meantioned that I'd stop by The Cove Deli again, so I did. A plus is that they are open on Sunday. If you are a CT resident, you're aware of how difficult it is to find anywhere to eat on a Sunday. Half of the state shuts down. So, we visited again. Ordered the Ceaser Chicken wrap and the George Washington roast beef sandwich, fries, and potato salad. What really astounds me is how food with so many ingredients (toppings) can be so void of flavor. The roast beef sandwich was incredibly disappointing. The potato salad had 0 salt..I mean ZERO. The Ceaser wrap was dry

Solid spot for a quick sandwich, and the young woman working the counter was really friendly. Parking is luck of the draw (very linited), and the sandwiches all sound awesome. I had #1 and found it to be quite good, but not amazing, and a bit pricey for what it is. I'll be back to try others eventually, but can't see myself going out of my way any time soon.

What an excellent spot for lunch.
Not much to say other than the fact this place really makes you feel like you're in one's home.
Well I mean it looks like a house from the outside.
Everybody was helpful, friendly and informative especially the lady who took my order.
I was able to get my basic chicken salad on gluten-free bread w/french fries and absolutely no issues at all.
The sandwhich had excellent structure, it was litterally picture perfect. The chicken salad was really good. Tasty, not mushy.
French Fries were good. Really the only thing that lacked a little as some of them

Cute deli on Silas Deane Hwy in Wethersfield! The staff were all really friendly and the place looked super clean. I went during the typical lunchtime; it was not busy at all but that is no reflection on the food, in my opinion. I got a chicken caesar wrap. It had huge chunks of grilled chicken and it was dressed to my liking. I would order this again just by the chicken portion alone. I got a full wrap and it was delicious! I got a pasta salad on the side, which was just ok but I loved the addition of sundried tomatoes...Yum!
Overall, I would absolutely recommend this place for lunch.

I had Cove Deli cater my son's sixth birthday party. We went to Elm Ridge Park, and they came and set everything up. They had amazing sandwiches, French toast for the kids, fruit, and coffee. Such huge amounts of everything that I took tons of leftovers home. They were punctual, friendly, and professional. I hope we can use them again next year.

This is probably one of my favorite Deli's around. I consider it gourmet deli. They recently moved from Old Wethersfield to a bigger place on Silas Deane Hwy. I do appreciate the more space inside and I understand the move but on the downside we lost the outdoor seating area which was my favorite thing about The Cove Deli. There was nothing better than sitting outside in scenic Old Wethersfield on a nice sunny spring, summer or fall day while eating a delicious sandwich.

I spontaneously came here with my parents one weekend afternoon, right at the start of the lunch rush. I'm so glad we did! The space is tiny, with no more than 10 chairs inside, but the menu is jam packed of creative and delicious sandwich options.
The Angry Chicken (breaded chicken breast with cayenne mayo, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, sharp cheddar, topped with hot pepper relish, on a roll on a wrap) was divine. If you're a little squeamish about spiciness, I suggest ditching the hot sauce and asking them to go light on the cayenne mayo. It'll clear your sinuses right up and tickle

Working on trying to dine at some of the local establishments in Wethersfield, I can finally cross The Cove Deli off my list. I had recently tried them at a Taste of Wethersfield event and was looking forward to try something more than the samples they offered at the event.
The store itself is quite small so I think that if I were to have gone in the winter it might have been a problem if I went around lunch time but luckily it was later in the afternoon AND the weather was awesome so I was able to sit out side and people watch.
The employees were working hard and even at about 2pm they were
