Zylberschtein's is a Jewish deli and bakery in the Pinehurst neighborhood of northern Seattle, Washington, United States. The deli is named after owner Josh Grunig's great grandfather Morris Zylberschtein.[1]
Description
Owned by Josh Grunig,[2] the delicatessen offers bagels and other breads, sandwiches,[3] cakes, and pastries such as Hamentashen.[4][5] For Hanukkah, the deli has served "brisket-and-latke" dinners and offered special take-out meals.[6][7] For Passover Seder, Zylberschtein's has sold take-out meals with vegetarian jackfruit brisket, roasted vegetables, matzo ball or roast vegetable soup, charoset, and matzah.[8] In 2022, the meals included brisket, harissa roasted chicken, caraway carrots, fingerling potatoes, matzo ball soup, chopped liver, and coconut chocolate macaroons.[9]
History
Grunig, a graduate of the San Francisco Baking Institute, worked at Grand Central Bakery before starting his own business—named Standard Bakery—in 2016. Standard Bakery operated from a single location in Pinehurst and was renamed to Zylberschtein's in 2018. It was also converted from a bakery to a Jewish-style deli at this time.[10] The conversion was funded with a $50,000 Kickstarter campaign launched in August 2018.[11]
Reception
Alana Al-Hatlani included the deli in Eater Seattle's 2022 list of "10 Sensational Bagel Shops Around the Seattle Area".[12]
