Food was great! They are knowledgeable about gluten free protocols to avoid cross contamination which is not usually the case at bagel spots. They also did a great job making the Matcha! And service overall was very friendly. Great patio for outdoor dining with dog too! Will definitely go back! read more

I am a New York bagel snob and Schneider Deli crushed my expectations. This place is fantastic and would rate in *any* city. The food and coffee is good across the board, but the bagels stole the show. They are exceptionally light and extremely crushable, with fun cream cheese options as well (giardiniera, anyone?). This is my new go to and top rec for bagels in Chicago. read more

Schneider Deli - The Rob (specialty sandwich September 2026) - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

TL; DR: Thick Turkey Club I would go back especially for the Turkey Club. This is a great, thick Sando that can be split between 2 people OR you can eat 1 half now and save the other for another day/time. It is filled with lots of goodies and they load on the meat. The bacon is crisped up as well for some extra crunch. It also comes with a side of mustard if you want to slather that on it too. read more

Schneider Deli - Turkey Club - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nice neighborhood deli and sandwich shop. The inside appears new and yet has a retro vibe. You order at a counter and take a seat and they deliver your food to you. I had the the spicy Reuben sandwich which I really enjoyed. My wife had the tuna salad sandwich which she said was an average tuna salad sandwich. My son had the oven roasted turkey sandwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. read more

This place is great! I had a 1/4 lb pastrami sandwich. At first I thought it was a little pricey but as soon as I bit into it I knew it was worth the cost. Good value for money considering what it is. The rye bread was fantastic and the pastrami was thick cut and excellent. The table mustard was also great. Service was friendly. They have water and cutlery to grab. And the setting feels like a Wes Anderson film. Easy five stars. read more

Schneider Deli - Half of a 1/4# pastrami. Really excellent sandwich. Smaller than you get in NYC but better quality. - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Probably would like it better if I weren't Gluten Free, as I thought the gf bagel was just okay. There are better deli's for lox and bagels, but my boyfriend liked his corned beef very much and his portion was more than enough. Service was good everyone was very nice. It has a diner sort of feel, nothing special, but you go here for the food, nothing the decor. read more

Schneider's deli is a nice place to sit and have a lunch or if you are meeting a friend for coffee. The pickle that came with my BLT sandwich reminded me of the pickles I get from Katz's deli in NYC which means they taste fresh and not overly pickled. It's a little on the pricey side but what isn't these days. read more

Yup yup yup yup! Holds up in the new location. It is way bigger than the other location, but still the same reliable food. I got the bacon, egg and cheese on an egg everything bagel and added a hash-brown. It hits for sure. I definitely would come back here to try literally anything on the menu? The actual space is pretty airy with a decent amount of seating options. Service is at the counter and was a bit slow, but still quick enough. Overall, I'm a fan and I love how close it is to Armitage! read more

See all

Food is delicious to eat there or on the go. We live around the corner and are frequent flyers. Their coffee is delicious too! Faves: Turkey Club (on challah), Tuna Salad Sandwich (on challah), Salami Egg and Cheese, matzo ball soup, and thrpastrami read more

Schneider Deli - Salami Egg and Cheese & Latkes - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here 2 x in a weekend, and it is quickly becoming my favorite breakfast joint in the City! A family owned and run operation, I ventured here both Friday and Saturday. Friday morning after 10 am is definitely the best time to avoid longer lines. That said they do offer the option to order online for pickup! Saturday it was quite busy with a line out of the door, but the entire staff was friendly nonetheless. Thus far I've had a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and a cold brew. The coffee is hands down my favorite in the City. The bagel sandwich was quite good, and they offer so many other sandwich and salad options that I can't wait to try them again soon. There is plenty of indoor seating and I love how bright and modern the interior is. I look forward to including this in my regular rotation. read more

Slightly overpriced, paid $50 for 2 bagel sandwiches and 2 coffees which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, but overall extremely tasty. The pastrami was amazing, very tender and flavorful. Turkey sausage also is great. Awesome ambience inside, feels like a mid century modern 70's diner. Service is super friendly as well. Great latte and they offer non dairy oat milk option. I highly recommend! read more

Schneider Deli - Egg and cheese sandwich, latte, cold brew - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The people are nice and the ambience is good. The problem is the prices of the sandwiches for what you actually receive. I ordered two turkey sandwiches. While they may slice the turkey fresh, what they actually put on the sandwiches is half of one slice of turkey & the rest of the turkey is simply small clumps from previously sliced pieces. The price for a turkey "clump" sandwich is $17 pretax. They either need to put full-sized SLICES of turkey on a sandwich, or significantly lower the price. Overall the food may be fresh, but the prices, & what's actually put on a sandwich, make this a ripoff. read more

Absolutely delicious reuben! All the flavors melted together. Potato salad top notch also. Pricey, and everything is an add on, but probably worth the premium cost. read more

Schneider Deli - Counter service. - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered a quart of matzo ball soup delivered to my sick momma and she ate it all! And now feels much much better.

did something change? just had one of the worst bagels of my long life. ALL AIR, NO CHEW. the lox was very good, the chive cheese also, but those bagels? McDonald's serves a better bagel than Schneider's. read more

THE AUTHENTIC JEWISH DELI EXPERIENCE (TM)? Sort of. With House music. And fancy espresso coffees (although these aren't great, sorry to say). The big downfall is that they do not make the bagels on site. That aspect alone makes the entire exercise feel a bit performative. On the plus side, the large crew is super efficient and busy and the kitchen outputs are perfectly in the acceptable to acceptable + range. Menu offerings have range. There's cheese, milk, and bacon so not your grandfather's jewish deli. The space is useful and pleasant. read more

I am a sucker for jewish deli Bagels-pastrami - corned beef. I order the 1/4 LB pastrami sandwich. Its a plain, very small (like the ends of the rye loaf small) sandwich with a soggy pickle. The pastrami is cut thick (as opposed to shaved) so its a solid bite of pastrami and placed on the bread. Mustard is packed separately. The cashier announced that my order would have to be TO GO since they close in 14 minutes. as if those 14 minutes would have been needed to eat the 4 bites of the sandwich and soggy pickle. all this for $18.00. NOPE. won't be back. read more

Delicious coffee and matcha with homemade syrups and wonderful beans!! Quick service and easy grab and go! :) highly recommend for your next coffee stop (and of course delicious food too!!) read more

Schneider Deli - Vanilla bean matcha and brown sugar shaken espresso! - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time back since 7am opening day! Schneider Deli has great energy, Bagels, schmear, sandwiches and coffee! Pro tip: come ready for a tasteful line. It is worth it. This has been a hotspot since day one! Thrilled to have a locally owned Deli in the neighborhood. Great vibe and bright interior for any day. Very kind people. read more

They put together a lox sandwich that is good as you can get. Really quality ingredients put together like a true deli chef handled it.

This second location for Schneide Deli recently open in Lincoln Park. It is a small cozy place with 8 seats at the counter along the windows and 4 booths. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. I had the Rueben sandwich, which is a favorite of mine. Their Rueben is made with pastrami, which I prefer as it has more flavor than corned beef. They also switched out the typical Swiss cheese for pepper jack and jazzed up the Russian dressing with some spice to tingle the taste buds. Add sauerkraut and you'll have one of the most flavorful Reuben sandwich that I have ever had. I will most certainly return to Schneider Deli. read more

Not impressed, got the 1/4# corned beef for $16, small amount cut into small pieces and the rye bread that it came on wasn't very authentic. Accompanied by a pickle & cole slaw, still hungry and not satisfied. Think one and done for me. 2.5 stars read more

Everything went well. Enjoyed our lunch and loved the atmosphere. Service was excellent, too. We'll be back! FYI- loved the bagels!

Great deli find in Lincoln Park! Schneider Deli is hands down the best in the city. Their gravlox is incredible, and the corned beef is spot on classic deli quality. They've got some really unique sandwich combos you won't find anywhere else, plus the space has this warm, homey feel that makes you want to linger. The people behind the counter are genuinely great too, friendly and clearly love what they do. If you're in the neighborhood, this is a must stop. Can't wait to go back. read more

Delightful vibe and awesome food. The matzo ball soup is a total treat, and the staff were so kind and considerate.

Great place to go with a group, including kids. We had the veggie hash, challah french toast, latkes... everything was wonderful. Would definitely return. read more

Fish bagel was super good along with a side of latkes. Very fast paced to the point that staff missed the other half of our order. The small sandwich and soup was a sad excuse for a meal. read more

New to the neighborhood and looks to be very popular so far - I went on a weekday morning and we sat in a booth which was really nice. The service was really friendly and they frequently topped off our coffee which I appreciated. I had an Asiago bagel with cream cheese. I was assuming that since Schneiders looks to be a true deli, that the bagel would have that New York, H&H, true bagel chew. It definitely did not. It was very fresh and moist but was more like a dinner roll shaped like a bagel. The cream cheese almost seemed out of place on such a small, squishy roll. That was disappointing and I won't be getting a bagel there again. But I might try their corned beef. read more

Overwhelmingly unorganized space. For the prices they should figure out whether or not they're a barking-orders fast-casual, or dine in restaurant. No one seems to have any idea what is going on with the menu at any time. The displays are filled with "hype merch" junk to distract from the visibly over-aged food. read more

Finally tried this deli today. Love this corner deli & can't wait to go back! Plenty of guidance when ordering. Dined in - scored a booth late week day morning. Tried a few things. The egg everything bagel lightly toasted w onion & chive schmear. Perfection. Matzo ball soup was really satisfying. Bowl was filled with 2 good sized matzo balls & there were tasty bites of carrots & celery in the tasty broth. My 1/4 lb corned beef on rye did not disappoint. The meat was lean & supple. The rye bread was fresh. Their dill pickle is a preferred crunchy new pickle. The coleslaw was creamy. Topped it off with a Dr Brown's root beer. I would like to see a seedless rye option on the menu for sandwiches like a marble rye. Next visits, I plan to try a soft salami sandwich, reuben & brisket & pastrami sandwich. The soup of the day was cabbage. If I wasn't so set on the matzo ball, I would've tried the special. The soup spoons should be deeper. The staff is eager to please & the space has a nice ambiance. I was told that you can order on line & skip the waiting line & go to the pick up counter to carry out. This sounds like a good option because this is an understandably popular spot with limited seating. I highly recommend this culinary gem. read more

This place is lovely. We stopped in randomly on our way to the grocery store and had the most wonderful experience. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and got our order within 5 minutes. The decor is also fabulous and feels so cozy! read more

Love this new location, too! Delicious house made white fish salad and awesome lox bagel! And hot coffee in an old fashioned mug! Can't wait to visit again! read more

Great food! Always super busy and worth the wait. A good affordable option in the area. Really cute decor as well, feels like an old school diner. read more

good but not great. Bagels too soft. Generous amount of cream cheese and lox. Willing to try it again for lunch.

Disappointing experience. I've given this place two chances now, and both times the sandwiches were significantly undersized for what they cost. Definitely overpriced for the portion size. read more

This is the quintessential Chicago deli. Schneider deli reminds me of the Anton Ego scene in Ratatouille where he drops his fork and is instantly transported back in time to his favorite childhood meal. read more

Disappointing take out order: only positive thing I can say is that things are fresh and bagels are acceptable (except that I paid for 12 and they gave me 11). Coleslaw, chop liver tasteless. Please under any circumstances don't call those tiny greasy things latkes. As for the gravelax, avoid it: chunks of fish full of dark parts. Please take a crush course in Ny Zebar's on how to slice salmon. Overall overpriced poor quality products. Not coming back read more
