Archive for tag The rochester deli

One of my favorites...

Have you ever done this? You find a great eating establishment and you order the same thing each time not wanting to switch to something different? I do it all the time, but last night rather than having the world famous Reuben at The Rochester Deli, I tried their Italian Panini and the Devonshire Panini. No I didn’t have two entrees, my wife, Lori ordered one and I the other then we swapped halves. WOW were they good. The Deli is such a great place to hang out. I prefer to eat outside at one of the patio tables, taking in the quiet pace of downtown Waukesha. Once those delish dishes were history I had my eye on the almond cookies that were hunkered down in the pastry case. I love almond and especially marzipan. If you don’t know what marzipan is go ask your grandmother. A hot cup of tea and a delectable fresh homemade almond cookie—ok it was really good. We chatted with friends until the place closed which was a little early for me 7pm, but hey it’s a deli and they were open all day. So now I can tastefully recommend the Reuben, Devonshire and the Italian Panini at The Rochester Deli.

Ace of Cakes in Waukesha!

We have these good friends who have a knack for knowing all the quaint and sometimes quirky places to eat in the Metro Milwaukee area. April 1st proved to be a delightful day, weather wise, so we tripped over to The Rochester Deli in Waukesha off Broadway. I am always on the hunt for a good Reuben and I was not disappointed here. Because it was literally 80 degrees at 6pm, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy the delish food! I finished the Reuben which was accompanied by a great side dish of fresh coleslaw, I meandered back inside to check out the cakes, cookies and various other sweets. I had my eye on this almond cookie that was dipped in chocolate. I love almond and if you do too then this is the best almond cookie I have tasted in a long time. The Rochester Deli advertises itself as the Home of the Best Reuben and I would have to concur. This little gem is right here in our backyard and is my new fav place for Reuben’s!
