  I live in So. Florida and have had access to at least 12 different local businesses that sell knishes. I have tried them all and have not found a single one that compares to Yonah Schimmel knishes. I happen to be a knish maven (expert) and eat knishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. Trust me when I tell you that there are none better. My order arrived in perfect condition and not a single knish was crushed. If I stilled lived in NYC, I'd be picking up a dozen every other week. This is a first rate business who truly are masters of their craft. I just recvd my order of 18 knishes today and I am in knish heaven. Keep up the great work Y.S. Truly the best knishes in the USA

  Yonah Schimmel's knishes are great!

I have had them to go many times and now I've had them delivered.

I have had the potato, kasha, red cabbage, mushroom, vegetable, cherry cheese and blueberry cheese.

To tell you the truth, I love the plain old potato with lots of mustard on top! Of course all of them are terrific. I especially like the kasha, which is kind of an acquired taste and the red cabbage which is a little unusual. I also really love the cherry cheese. I could eat one of the sweet ones for breakfast everyday!

This is a classic place with a 100 year plus history...very basic, kind of old, and not at all fancy.

If you really like knishes, you probably already know this place. It is legendary. If not, go buy a dozen, freeze some and enjoy the best knishes of your life!
