The Dish - A critic's review of Old New York Deli & Bakery Co

Not the fanciest of deli's in Ventura County, this is casual dining - or as we say, less expensive than the other delis in town - and just as tasty for most of us. Been dining at their locations since the mid 90's and always enjoy a great bagel, shmear, sandwich or bakery good.

This is more than just a bagel factory, they offer a full breakfast - made to order - with just about anything you desire. Samples a plenty, you just can't seem to walk away without noshing on a bakery sample or a seasonal favorite. This is a deli where they know your name - maybe I just eat there too often.

They serve sandwiches and pizza (Newbury Park location only), but it's their bagels that customers continue to talk about. They are authentic boiled and hearth baked. We are talking New York style, unless you consider the chocolate chip bagels grandpa eats every week.

As a deli fanatic and trust me I've eaten my share, there are more glamorous deli's in Ventura County and Los Angeles. There are tastier morsels at almost twice the fare at some places, but Old New York is a neighborhood staple that is sure to please even the pickiest bubala and the best of the goyem that Ventura County has to offer.

With two locations - Camarillo and Newbury Park, we suggest you visit their third location in Mammoth the next time you hit the slopes.

Old New York Deli and Bakery Co is located in Camarillo at 4972 Verdugo Way and in Newbury Park at 2700 Teller Rd. #A.
