Kaufman's Bagel Delicatessen - Skokie

I love this spot you can grab a sandwich pick up some other stuff well in there and get some bread and sweets

Ordered bagels on 12/24/23 because they were out of my favorites. So I ordered bagels to pick up on Xmas day and they were terrible. They were hard the next day. Not even a hole in the bagels. I will never. Ever. Go there again they suck

If you are looking for a classic Jewish delicatessen experience in the Midwest, look no further than Kauffman‘s bagel and delicatessen. The shop is ringed with counters, providing deli items, smoked fish, baked goods, and of course. They have a wide selection of mustard and jams. The bakery has a dizzying array of old world style goods. The challah Golden Brown. The bagels are lightly crusty on the outside with a soft, ready interior. Giant tubs of cream cheese at a wonderful price are available to slather on a smear. The deli counter is filled with amazing meats. A dozen different smoked fish options, tantalize through the glass. The pastrami is the best that I’ve had outside of San Francisco and New York. They slice it thin by the pound. It is easy to be intimidated. The counter people are precise And committed to their task. Embrace the entire experience and you will leave with more delicious food than you thought you would.

Great food but no public restrooms and staff not welcoming.

Delicious fresh bagels. Among my favorites are the salt bagels and the bags of mini plain bagels. Make sure to grab some of their cream cheese too- it has become my all-time fave!
