AdmiralBobParticipantGreat place but there is just a HUGE complaint against the deli, well two acutally. I don’t know how many times I’ve been kicked out or not even let in because they are closed. There are a lot of kids working, have any of them told management how many people still want Ice Cream after 7pm on a Sunday? Goodness! 7pm! Baskin Robbins is open until 10pm. Please Mr. and Mrs. Deli, stay open longer, especially in the summer…makes no sense to keep the ice cream for yourselves!

JiggersMemberWhile were on a rant with Husky, I think there sandwhiches are way overpriced and not that good to be honest with you. But yeah.. Husky ice cream is da bomb.

westwoodMemberHusky Deli is owned and operated by the Miller family. Smart business owners know that they must keep a constant management presence at the store. They also know when MOST people stop shopping and staying open is a push at best. But most importantly, people who own businesses have a right to live a quality life–not to stay open late in case one of us needs something.
Not trying to be harsh, I just believe that Husky Deli is what it is–and that is one of the best things about West Seattle.

inactiveMemberYeah, 7 is pretty early to close for summer.
Never had a sandwich there, but can I give a
little rave for their Spumoni? Yummalicious.

JeraldParticipantWell, I’ve always thought their sandwiches are delicious and reasonably priced. They seem to have plenty of lunchtime customers, so I guess I’m not the only one.
The Mocha ice cream is wonderful!

RonMParticipantHusky’s has been one of my WS favorites for many decades. I know that businesses need to please their customers and make them happy. On the other hand it is a private business and has been super successful for more years than most WS’rs have been alive. If they want to close at 7, be forewarned the next time and get there on time. I don’t think you’d hurt anyone’s feelings if you couldn’t get over it and go somewhere else.

flowerpetalMemberI was tickled to see that Ben & Jerry’s did no harm to Husky Deli’s ice cream sales. And in fact B&J did not last long up the street. I’m not sure if this is accurate but our household has mused that West Seattle residents were fiercely loyal to Husky and B&J couldn’t make an inroad in the Junction.

walfredoMemberIt’s very true. B & J’s does well in Kirkland, and Ballard and seems like a no-brainer for the Junction. Only reason it didn’t make it, was the ice cream shop right across the street that everyone went to…

JimmyGMemberI love Husky Deli!
They stock Cadbury biscuits (cookies) that you can normally only get in England/Ireland.
And they stock Jaffa Cakes.
They are the type of locally owned business we should all embrace if we want to keep the WS feeling alive. Stop in as often as you can and try to buy something.

JiggersMemberI go in just to scope out the cute girls that work there. I usually buy a scoup of ice cream once inside though….lol
May 20, 2008 at 8:35 pm #624885
vincentMemberjimmy: you can get cadbury pretty much anywhere in canada. commonwealth and all that.
May 20, 2008 at 9:14 pm #624886
GinaParticipantDon’t even need to go as far as Canada, just to World Market/Cost Plus. Huge selection of British bisquits and sweets. Not a huge markup in price. Nearest one is out by Southcenter.
May 20, 2008 at 9:20 pm #624887
inactiveMemberWhat are Jaffa Cakes?
May 20, 2008 at 9:34 pm #624888
JanSParticipantMay 20, 2008 at 10:04 pm #624889
WSMomParticipantOkay, I love Husky Deli. I love their ice cream, I love their sandwiches, I love their raspberry filled homemade scones that are incredibly yummy, and Jack is probably the nicest close talker in West Seattle…but, the place needs a clean bathroom, a good dusting and new floors. There, I said it, it’s time for sprucing up the place, IMHO.
I’ve never had an issue with the hours of operation, works fine for me. Husky Deli is the essence of West Seattle. Jack and his family are so generous with our schools, local charities and sports teams. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a fundraiser where something wasn’t donated by Husky Deli.

JenVMemberGina- isn’t there one down on Western still??
May 20, 2008 at 10:27 pm #624891
GinaParticipantJenV-yes, there is. http://www.worldmarket.com/custserv/store_locator.I try to avoid the downtown area on my days off. Southcenter trip can be combined with a visit to Trader Joe’s.
And I still haven’t made it over to PFI!
May 20, 2008 at 10:55 pm #624892
barmargiaMemberGina, I finally made it to PFI, almost went right past the place. Pretty good prices, great selection of import type items, and definitely nice because of no frills.
May 21, 2008 at 12:37 am #624893
JimmyGMembervincent, quite different line of Cadbury products carried in Canada versus what you can get in Ireland. (Specifically Choco Hoops.)
As to Cost Plus-why would I go to Southcenter when Husky Deli carries my treats from abroad? Another reason I like WS and Husky, it’s all right here in my ‘hood.
May 21, 2008 at 12:38 am #624894
JimmyGMemberOh, and Jaffa Cakes are biscuits with orange jam filling and a coating of chocolate. Quite good with a cuppa.
May 21, 2008 at 1:23 am #624895
BonnieParticipantI love Husky Deli and I love their sandwiches. 7pm is pretty early but I guess they need to close sometime and it is their store.
May 21, 2008 at 2:15 am #624896
hopeyParticipantAccording to Citysearch.com, Sunday is the only night Husky Deli closes at 7pm. They are open until 9pm every other night of the week. That sure sounds reasonable to me!
May 21, 2008 at 2:48 am #624897
GinaParticipantBecause Cost Plus has Smarties and Aero bars and Curley Wurleys and Malteasers and Lion bars and KitKats and wine gums. Especially the Smarties. They must come in a tube.
