Zylberschtein's

Got myself a pastrami sandwich on a bike trip to this bakery. Everything is a bit pricey here but the pastrami was really special. I was suggested to eat it fresh and it was a pleasant experience. Pickel was juicy and was quite good. I also got a sesame cookie and it was great. The staff is super hospitable. They have some open space to sit and enjoy your food. If you are really hungry go for the bigger portion. Its still small.

This place has no idea how to make a croissant. They burn it to make it crunchy. I asked for a less burnt one and was told they are all the same shade.

Pricey but worth it for an occasional splurge. My partner and I shared the bagel and lox ($18), which came with a decent amount of lox on a heavenly bagel and delicious chive cream cheese. We also split three different baked goods - the croissant, filled brioche donut, and raspberry rugelach - and they were all fantastic. Also the plain drip coffee was delightful! We took home a half dozen of the bagels, plain, sesame, poppyseed, and everything ($13). Definitely coming back! Update 4 days later: the bagels grow stale super quickly so only grab as many as you're able to eat in maybe 2 days? Six between just my partner and I was too many!

I am a sandwich guy and I love pastrami, so I had to try the Frankel (breakfast sandwich): two eggs, pastrami and cheese in a bagel. $13.75 + tax is a bit pricey for a small bagel sandwich, but the pastrami is...simply exquisite. Thick cut, lean, tender, and sapid, I love it. The same goes to the pastrami sandwich, which has slightly larger portion of pastrami (still looks small for $18 though) on rye bread, with a small box of potato salad. Overall, I don't think I'll be dreaming about it at night but it's nice to try them out. I also tried Zylberschtein's croissant, which is quite special. It's on the sweet side but it also has a hint of sourness. The texture is too solid without enough flake and air but overall, I had an interesting experience. The Challah, which is only available on Friday, is rich and appetizing, I basically ate the whole bread in one afternoon. Take out service only at the moment but there is a roofed patio in the street.
