What People Are Saying About Husky Deli & Catering
Featured Review

In Short – This West Seattle deli has been a neighborhood institution for three generations. The store is clean and spacious, decorated with flags and airline posters from around the world. Loyal regulars fuel up on espresso or stock up on gourmet goodies like European oatmeal, Bavarian mustard, French cheese or flavored halvah. Homemade, hand-packed Husky Deli ice cream is the mainstay. Ice cream comes in more than 40 flavors, such as Oreo and Swiss chocolate-orange.
Editor's Tips
- Save Time:
- Call ahead to pick up sandwiches, hand-packed ice creams and coffee drinks. Look for rotating sandwich specials. Company coming? Ask for a catering brochure.
- Parking:
- Park on the street or in back of the store--space is plentiful.
- The Extras:
- Husky Deli hosts an annual open house the first Friday in December, with free eats and drinks.

Best Ice Cream
by alpinelady at Citysearch
I have been going to Husky's for years - mostly for the ice cream cones! It's old-fashioned and neighborly in there. I just wanted to add my comments and thank them for keeping it going for our enjoyment. My favorite is maple walnut.
- Pros: Handy to walk to if in West Seattle, Friendly
- Cons: Parking sometimes, but who cares?

Husky Deli is a great family shop. They have ice scream & good sandwiches & salads for those that are hungry for a little more then ice scream. They also have some great unique grocery items!!!! Check out their candy too - gourmet to everday. My son's school ordered their packaged lunches & they were a fantastic price!
- Pros: Fantastic Ice cream & lunches. Very fun for the family!

Great imported foods, ok ice cream
by spudsocks at Citysearch
Went here after hearing a ton about the ice cream they have here... Just ok I thought. Not really worth my long trek to West Seattle. But the place has a nice old timey ice cream parlor feeling to it and the shelves are stocked with an amazing selection of all sorts of foreign foods, like pasta sauce from Italy and all sorts of olive oils. The prices were great, too.
- Pros: Lots of cool foreign foods
- Cons: Didn't really live up to the hype

Memories of Husky Deli....
by jwiding2 at Citysearch
There was nothing like having my grandparents take me to Husky's for their Dollar Mint ice cream. Those added peppermint candy pieces made that flavor my favorite for 30 plus years. If the Dollar Mint flavor still exists it would be well worth any peppermint flavor fan to make the trek to Husky's. Now if I could only get that shipped down here in Long Beach,CA....thanks Husky Deli!!!
- Pros: parking, junction shops, good people
