I go out of my way every time I get anywhere close to Kaufman's Deli in my travels. I will bring my wife their sandwiches to Tennessee when she stays home. I brought my grand daughter there for her first time earlier this year. Never miss an opportunity to get their frozen bagels or sandwiches.

Kaufman's is an amazing place for a quick bite. The pastrami is my absolute favorite. Extremely fresh with a really generous amount of meat. They also have a great selection of sweets. Highly recommended!

The lox bagel sandwich never disappoints. Every time I'm here I wonder why I don't make the trip more often. The staff is efficient without being rude and it's tough not to leave with enough food for a month! Such a great selection!

Classic Jewish deli, every delicacy to satisfy your cravings and have been multiple times and will be back, however wanted to give 1 star on the basis that the customer service at the register was absolutely atrocious. The attitude was uncomfortable and quite demeaning, after spending almost $250 on items, packing it up appropriately almost seemed like a burden and just was not a good feeling. Just saying.

Been a customer for years. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and very tasty. My favorite's are the chicken noodle soup and the lox sandwich on Asiago bagel. The thumb apricot cookies are to die for!!! Today , I picked up some soup on the way home and the lady at the counter gave me 2 loaves of bread , on the house! That was so unexpected and nice of them! So grateful !

Deli, grocery, bakery, all good things in Kaufmans. Been in a few times. Reuben is 5 stars..bagels..5stars...bakery 5ta......well, you see where this is going. Best deli around. I have never been to NYC but a friend who lived there said this place brings him back home. Make sure get there early during the lunch rush. The line gets long but they are efficient and speedy as they can be. Dangerous waiting for a sandwich while staring at the cookies counter mmm mm good. I'm getting hungry thinking about it....gotta go!

This was a great Jewish deli with lots of offerings. I grew up in NJ, so I have high standards for a good bagel, and this place met my expectations with lots of hustle and bustle, but also a huge selection of deli and bakery items, and a large selection of shelf stable items to go with them. If I lived closer, I'm sure I'd become a regular! Instead, I'm looking forward to the next time I'm in the area and can stop in for lunch.

As a first timer, I can say that all the hype is true. PLEASE make sure to enter on your left hand side and TAKE A NUMBER. I missed this and was a very amateur move. Other than that, the location is huge. The wait times are decent considering it was on prime time of lunch. The parking lot is not convenient when it's heavily crowded and had to park in a handicap spot and risk it all ($250.00 fine) but the sandwich gods had our back today. Got their Bletcher sandwich. It was HUGE and delicious. Comes with one pickle that they split in three. Very well worth $17.00 or so. Came with turkey, bacon, pepper corn beef and pastrami. Store is heavily Jewish based. Felt at home and reminiscent of my late Jewish grandmother. Very nostalgic! Pretty sure this is as authentic as authentic gets!

Great place if your in the area and want a quick bite or a treat. Kaufmans has a great variety of options if you want a something with meat or a vegetarian option. I got a bagel breakfast sandwich: jalapeño cheddar bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, egg/, onions and tomatoes. I got some Beef bacon on the side with a s'mores bar for dessert.
