German Bakeries, Pretzels & Delis in NYC

The anchor of German food shopping in New York is Schaller & Weber at 1654 Second Avenue in Yorkville, the butcher shop Ferdinand Schaller and Tony Weber opened in 1937. It still sells German sausages, cold cuts and pantry staples, and the family is now in its third generation.

For pretzels, Bronx Baking Co. at 175 Walnut Avenue makes Swabian-style lye-dipped pretzels and pretzel bread, mostly sold wholesale to restaurants. Sigmund's Pretzels, founded in 2009, makes lye-dipped pretzels and ships nationwide.

German bread, Stollen and Lebkuchen are seasonal favorites, and many markets and club events sell them in Advent. Food and drink events with a German baking or deli connection are listed below.
