Freshly Baked Artisan Bagels & Deli Favorites in San Antonio
Chicago Bagel & Deli has been a cornerstone of San Antonio's culinary scene for nearly two decades. Founded in the early 1990s by master baker Julius Goldman, our tradition of artisanal craftsmanship began with hand-shaped bagels and evolved into a beloved family-owned institution under Edward and Marta Morales' stewardship since 1999. Our team combines decades of experience in European baking techniques with locally sourced ingredients to create daily fresh bagels boiled in water for that signature chewy texture. We maintain rigorous quality standards through our time-honored process of mixing, shaping, and baking every bagel from scratch starting at 3:00 AM daily. Our commitment to excellence extends to our gourmet breads, including hand-twisted challah and seeded rye, baked fresh every Thursday.We prioritize customer satisfaction through pre-order options that ensure availability while promoting sustainability. Our menu features Boar's Head deli meats and house-made spreads, reflecting our dedication to quality ingredients. With over 300 five-star reviews, we've become a trusted destination for both classic and innovative breakfast and deli offerings. Our location at 10918 Wurzbach provides convenient access to San Antonio residents seeking authentic New York-style baked goods.
