    Cold Brew
    Jason S.

    Ordered Zeitlins Deli for delivery after seeing it pop up online as a newer bagel spot in the Chicago area and wanted to give it a try. Overall, I'd say it's a solid bagel option for Chicago standards. I went with two bagels: an everything bagel with cream cheese and a jalapeño cheddar bagel with bacon and cheese. I'm glad I ordered two because the bagels are on the smaller side. Taste-wise though, they definitely hit the spot, especially since I was pretty hungry and wanted to try different flavor profiles so I'm glad I got 2 regardless. The jalapeño cheddar bagel stood out the most--not so much the bagel itself, but the toppings and overall flavor combo were really good. Everything bagel was solid as well. Overall, this is a dependable bagel spot that can definitely satisfy a bagel craving, whether it's a quick breakfast or a go-to hangover meal. Also worth noting: the cold brew was solid too.

    They always turn the customer seating into their makeshift backroom with boxes, equipment, and the management's always claimed corner table.

    Friendly people, but the food is pretty rough compared to other Jewish deli's in the area. They also treat their seating area like a back office, constantly filled with boxes, kitchen equipment, and one corner table that has basically been permanently claimed by management and their laptop/sprawl (shoes off on the floor today) despite being out in the seating area. Plenty left to learn before this place feels like its operated by professionals.

    Bagel with Cream Cheese
    Casey W.

    Went for a bagel and iced coffee and they were both great! Plenty of room to sit down. I had the cinnamon bagel with honey walnut cream cheese (very generous portion of cream cheese).

    The Rachel - side profile

    Service was wonderful, the person at the counter was extremely nice and came by to ask how our food was once we got it. I believe the owner came by as well and checked in. The food was delicious! Matzo Ball Soup had a nice amount of dill, chicken and deep flavors. Split the Rachel and it did not disappoint! A ton of turkey, delicious slaw and thousand island. Plenty of seating and a homey feel. 10/10 will be back!

    Everything and Garlic bagels

    Reply.... Hey Sam Z! By introducing more garlic. Thanks! Hanna's customer service/personality was jolly and fun. New Deli opened this week, stopped in to try their Everything, Garlic bagels and a Brown butter chocolate cookie which was soft and flavorful top with flaked sea salt. Though garlic was lacking the bagels were also soft inside and the exterior was not hard. They don't accept Cash.

    WOW!! Schneider Deli has been on my radar for so long and it did not disappoint. If there's one…read morething I know, it is a good corn beef sandwich, and Schneider's Deli was no different. While we had originally gone there for bagel sandwiches, it was past noon and they were sold out (just means I have to go back now). The latkes were the perfect side that we ordered and the corn beef was so juicy. The sandwich practically melted in my mouth. It was consumed rather quickly and the perfect amount of sauerkraut and dressing. This location is small, but we were luckily able to get a table inside. Just writing this review my mouth is watering and I just know I will be coming back here during my many visits to Chicago!

If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.

    This. Sandwich. Was. Amazing…read more Decided to stop by for a quick sub and I was not disappointed. Walking into the spot reminded me of a spacious deli shop. It was refreshing to come to a deli that didn't have an overwhelming menu. When it was my turn to order, the interaction felt very personable.

We were quoted a time of 20 minutes out. We arrived a little early and the gal at the counter told us it would be a few minutes. She called out when ready and sat at one of the tables in the front to eat. Each sub had a decent amount of filling. While we each offered the smallest subs, we were plenty full when we left. We enjoyed our subs and now have a place to add to our list for a new quick lunch. For the store itself, they have some odds and ends but many Italian staples. The counter and deli had a steady flow of customers in and out.

It came as a great recommendation! We didn't have it for a while since we live the low-carb life but were thrilled to learn they do a "sub in a tub". I love their tuna salad/sub. Their bread is soft, back when I could eat it. They don't overfill it with mayo either and add some mild peppers or hot on request. I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow! For $8, or $11 for a generous tuna scoop, you can't beat it. Staff is also quick and friendly at the deli, as well as checkout. You can find all kinds of things for the house or to gift someone whether it's food, a cookie jar, something imported from Italy, or a homemade meal. You'll find something for everyone.
