YONAH SCHIMMEL KNISH BAKERY
137 East Houston Street, New York, NY 10002 (212)477-2858
Since 1910, Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery has been baking the same hand-rolled, old-world knishes on New York’s Lower East Side — long before “artisanal” was a word anyone used for food. Every knish is stuffed and baked fresh daily, from the classic potato to seasonal flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re stopping by our storefront, ordering nationwide shipping, or sending a gift box to someone who misses the taste of real NYC deli food, you’re getting more than a century of tradition in every bite.

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.

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
