Craving a taste of nostalgia and comfort? Zylberschtein’s Delicatessen and Bakery awaits you. It is a true gem tucked away in Seattle’s Pinehurst neighborhood.
Zylberschtein’s is not just a deli. It’s a tribute to owner Josh Grunig’s great grandfather Morris Zylberschtein. Josh worked at Grand Central Bakery before opening his first bakery called Standard Bakery in 2016.
In 2018, he transformed Standard Bakery into Zylberschtein’s. He wanted to create an authentic Jewish-style deli. A successful Kickstarter campaign helped fund this conversion.
Since opening in 2019, Zylberschtein’s has been serving up Jewish deli favorites. This includes pastrami on rye and lox and bagels. Matzo ball soup is also on the menu. They also offer fresh pastries such as croissants and cookies. Custom cakes are available too.
During Hanukkah, Zylberschtein’s offers brisket and latke dinners. They also offer special take-out meals. For Passover Seder, they sell take-out meals. These meals sometimes include vegetarian jackfruit brisket.
Zylberschtein’s has garnered praise for its bagels. Eater Seattle included it in their list of sensational bagel shops.
People rave about the sandwiches at Zylberschtein’s. The Frankel is a popular choice. It is known as a delicious monster of a sandwich with peppery and savory flavors. The pastrami on the breakfast sandwich is tender and flavorful.
Some reviewers mention the Reuben and pastrami sandwiches are particularly delicious. The pickles are tasty and crisp.
Zylberschtein’s also offers a Bagel Club. This provides home delivery of fresh bagels. They deliver from Everett to the South Sound and east to Sammamish and Woodinville.
If you visit Zylberschtein’s, be prepared for a unique experience. Some reviewers note the outdoor seating is covered and heated. However it is not a traditional restaurant setting. Despite this, the friendly service and quality food make it a worthwhile stop.
