Directly across from Columbia’s Manhattanville campus, Columbia Deli & Cafe is a classic neighborhood deli where bagels sit alongside 50-plus sandwiches, wraps, and hot items. Bagel-and-lox setups and basic cream-cheese or egg sandwiches are reliable, student-priced options that pair with coffee when you need something quick before or between classes.
Must-Try Dishes: Bagel with Nova Scotia Salmon and Cream Cheese, Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Bagel, Bagel with Cream Cheese and Jelly
