While the East Coast is full of authentic Jewish delis, they aren’t quite as abundant here in Washington. When Josh Grunig moved to Seattle in 2012 to work as the night manager for Grand Central Bakery, he eventually decided to change that. These days, Grunig is the owner and baker of Zylberschtein’s Delicatessen & Bakery, a place that manages to be a hidden gem even in Washington’s largest city along with home to some of the best bagels you’ll ever have.

Zylberschtein's Delicatessen & Bakery sits tucked away in Seattle's Pinehurst neighborhood, which sits way up north -- north of Northgate, even.

On any given day, you'll see people enjoying sandwiches and sweet treats at the patio tables or waiting in line for their delicious orders.
After living in Seattle for two years, Josh Grunig launched Pocket Bakery, a pop-up bakery, in the Central District area of Seattle.

Business was booming, and in 2016, the bakery found a permanent home in Pinehurst.
In 2018, Grunig decided to realize his dream of opening a Jewish deli.

He launched a very successful Kickstarter campaign, and Zylberschtein's officially opened in the spring of 2019.
The Jewish Deli menu was inspired by comfort and nostalgia.

In addition to the best bagels ever, you'll find house-made breads, freshly baked pastries, and cured meats and pickles, Grunig's father's specialty.
