  Absolutely delicious spot. The garlic potato knish was so good. And it was very hefty. It was packed with garlic and roasted to perfection. The potatoes were also very smooth. Would highly recommend.

  Best knishes I've tasted since I was a little boy. I've always been partial to baked knishes The bakery makes them and they are wonderful.
And absolutely GREAT customer service. Really appreciate Yonah Schimmel!!

  Yonah's is the best kinish anywhere. So tasty. Always fresh. We also sent some to friends in Arizona and it only took 3 days. Amazing service! Everyone has to try it at least once. Good ol fashioned atmosphere in the store too. And very clean
