Danny And Coops

Danny & Coop’s truly makes the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. From the moment you open the bag, the smell alone tells you you’re about to have something special. I ordered my cheesesteak to go, and even after the walk home it was absolute perfection. My friends and I practically devoured it the second we unwrapped it. The cheese is melted exactly the way you want it—creamy, gooey, and evenly distributed so every bite is rich and satisfying. The steak itself is cooked beautifully: tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right so it stands out without overpowering anything. The bread holds everything together while still being soft and warm, which makes the whole experience even better. What really impressed me is how balanced the cheesesteak is. It’s indulgent, comforting, and super filling, but never overly heavy. You can tell they care about quality and consistency in a way that sets them apart from other spots. It’s honestly the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite and go, “Wow.” If you’re a cheesesteak lover—or even if you think you’re not—you need to try Danny & Coop’s. It’s an instant favorite and absolutely worth the hype.

Yes worth the hype! Located in the East Village, this tiny hole in the wall serves the most amazing cheesesteak rolls. They sell one item and do it extremely well. The sesame seeded roll I was surprisingly soft, which prefer, and the combination of onions, cheese sauce and steak, was rich and flavoursome. I’m not a big fan of onions, however this blended in perfectly. You are asked if you would like peppers on the side sweet or hot. I choose sweet and it just cut through the richness of the steak. The side was tiny, would have liked a little more. The store has minimal bench space and there is nowhere to sit. I arrived at opening so the line wasn’t crazy, waited 10mins to order received my order in 5 mins. Lucky enough to find a space to eat. I ate half in store and finished the rest in Hompkins Sq Park. Highly recommend.

Second time having danny & coop's! This cheesesteak hit all the right notes for me both times! You can tell how fresh the bread is with every bite - soft but somehow sturdy enough to hold all the cheesy steak goodness! Sesame seeds don't usually do anything for me but worked perfectly for this sandwich. They also do not skimp on the steak and cheese and it was the perfect size for sharing! It's good as is but the peppers also add a nice bit of acidity. It's a pretty efficient ordering process but it can get busy. Only room for a few people to stand and eat inside by the counter. Be prepared to find a spot nearby to wait for your order (we waited about 5 min when it wasn't busy and about 20 min when there were at least 15 people waiting for their orders ahead of us).

Food: B+ Service: A+ Décor: A+ Seating: F (standing room only) After seeing the cheesesteak all over social media, I had to try it! Ordering was a breeze. There were only about three to four people in line, and it moved fairly quickly. After placing my order, I gave my cell number and was told I would be notified when the sandwich was ready. Within ten minutes, I got the call that my food was done. Overall, the cheesesteak was good, but it did not quite live up to the hype. The sandwich alone cost $23.41 and did not include fries or chips, so I ended up walking a few doors down to grab fries from another restaurant. That said, the bread was a standout. It was well made and incredibly soft with a noticeable sesame aroma and flavor. The meat was nicely cut and tender, but it could have benefited from more seasoning and a heavier hand with the cheese whiz to truly mimic a Philly cheesesteak. I also appreciated the packaging, which kept the sandwich intact and aesthetically appealing when I opened it. The cheesesteak came with a side of peppers that were not spicy. They had a flavor similar to bread and butter pickles, and that sweetness paired perfectly with the sandwich. In the end, it was a solid cheesesteak, but given all the social media buzz, I was expecting something a bit more flavorful and memorable.
