Davis Bakery & Delicatessen

You can tell the food is going to slap when you walk in and they’re pretend arguing with a regular customer. The Tribe was super well balanced, the rye bread is arguably the best I’ve ever had (the sourdough starter is 86 years old). They also give you a chocolate chip cookie under the sandwich, which is such a nice surprise. The pickle was too salty for me with no other flavor. The sugar kichel was also very good, can’t wait to come back!

I stopped by today to pick up bakery for work. I spent $32 on assorted pastries and the young lady that was helping me shoved all of my pastries into one tiny box. Smashing all of my items and no one could see what they were. Terrible.

I can't say enough about this beautiful and nostalgic bakery where all your favorites live. While you're there get a freshly made deli sandwich and sit in the café to enjoy it. Next party leave the catering to them! I've gotten veggie platers, spinach dip with brown bread (pumpernickel?), and cookies, and cake, and sandwiches! My friends rave! Great shop, great people!

Amazing sandwiches! One of our go-to spots whenever we’re in the area. We highly recommend the New Yorker and the Browns. The corned beef and rye are outstanding. The hospitality is always warm and welcoming, and we feel fortunate to have visited this lovely establishment.

I grew up with bakery from Davis as a child. Mom and Dad would bring home coconut bars,freshly sliced bread, challah...as well as other items from the deli. I got two bagels withox, cream cheese and tomato. Such memories. I had a small get-together there after my father's funeral earlier. I bought some coconut bars and ate them later in his honor.

1975 They were right on public square were the BP building currently standing. I could not cross the Detroit superior bridge to Max X Hayes without my daily cinnamon raisin sweet roll with the white icing they had maple icing too

From the minute, you walk in, it’s like comfort food heaven. You have very experienced people who’ve been working in the bakery and deli business for a long long time. However, I have a discrepancy here about the sandwich to get a king size corned beef sandwich. I remember they’re being a lot more corn beef inside the sandwich. This is the second time I’ve been up there. I believe somebody gave me a junior last time and there was like hardly any meat in there. I got a king size sandwich last night, which I’m putting a picture in it wasn’t even filled to me. That’s not a king size to charge somebody $17 and change for?? I don’t understand where the product went. There used to be so much more meat in the sandwiches…. I am asking Davis bakery to start filling up those sandwiches again when people are spending $18 for a sandwich. Where is the meat !! and the corned beef was very good is it because there’s no more competition with quirky and Lenny’s that you reduce the amount of meat in your sandwiches??? Very bummed here been a customer my whole life noticed the changes however the bread is fabulous. I did buy a marble rye last night a two pounder, thank goodness it was the last one and it was very fresh. I froze half of it. Also, they were out of the green tomatoes, which I figure those should be in the deli section when you’re open I was really surprised you ran out of them? Kind of disappointed about that too. I don’t eat corned beef sandwiches often but I really would like some meat in there. That’s the second time now that I’ve gotten a reduction of meat and I’m spending a lot of money for it. Just a heads up for everyone out there.

Ordered a tray of cookies for a gift . On the phone taking the order was friendly didn't have an attitude. When I picked up the beautiful tray people were friendly even though they were very busy . I will be back for a cream puff that looked delicious!

What the heck happened here. I've been a fan, and should know as I grew up working in my uncle's New York Bakery. Had a friend just in from Tampa and she wanted Deli. I had a turkey reuben, it was processed turkey, not off the bone, and was barely warm. My wife a regular corned beef reuben and our friend a hot roast beef. They said they never had so much fat ever! It was embarrassing. She even said the cupcakes she bought were the worst she ever had. Where to go? Jack's was just sold again, so I hope it goes back to quality over high profit. Very upsetting. Cleveland used to be a deli destination. Where have they all gone?

We came here to get takeouts for lunch. They were very busy. There were 2 lines: one for the bakery and one for food and deli. I ordered a tribe sandwich which had corned beef and pastrami. My partner got the corner beef. Each sandwich got a complimentary chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was so soft and delicious. I loved my sandwich. Typically, most Jewish places would have sauerkraut in the sandwich but this place used Swiss coleslaw instead. I actually liked the coleslaw cause it brought some sweetness to the sandwich. We also got 2 potato latkes. They were cold so we warmed them up before we ate. They were okay. The pastries looked so good, so we grabbed 2 tea biscuits and a mish mash rye bread. The bread had everything bagel seasoning and just came out from the oven. It was so hearty and well seasoned. Overall, we really liked this place and the staff were so nice.

My wife and I went here twice while we were in Cleveland. Enjoyed our (lean-they called it steak pastrami) pastrami sandwiches, cole slaw, potato salad, matzo ball soup, desserts, etc. very tasty and fairly priced food, and very friendly service. Would happily patronize regularly if I lived in Cleveland!

Always love stopping into Davis bakery. The corned beef is excellent, never had a bad sandwich, the service is always prompt and with a smiling face. The store has a whole side now for dining in and having lunch or whatever, it's a great deli.... They offered me a cookie as a snack while I was waiting. Just so nice.

A neighborhood staple, the staff at Davis Bakery are more like family, they know what you want and need as soon as you hit the case. Sunday mornings are perfect for Davis Bakery, a combination of savory and sweet. We ordered bagel sandwiches, made to order, the lox bagel was incredible. Best part, warm chocolate chip cookies to end a meal.

The best seeded rye and Challah bread in town. And their coconut bars are always a favorite. Service is always quick in my experience.

Throughout my life, I've followed Davis Bakery from its Cedar Center location to its current spot on Chagrin Boulevard. I am going on the record to state: There is no rye bread that can match the crunchy crust and the perfectly baked bread with seeds. When you ask for extra lean corned beef, you get perfect slices that stay intact--no crumbling. The potato salad is delectable with a taste that I've never found anywhere else. The bakery counter is a must. My faves are the Russian tea biscuits and coconut bars, but the delectable choices are endless. Make this deli your prime stop!

Classic deli spot, with fantastic sandwiches! I would recommend the Italianio! Delicious!

Great deli in Cleveland that has been a staple for years. Wonderful on many levels. The service is always good and the food is even better!

We bought all the poppy seed Kaiser rolls. So stale when we tried to cut them. Clearly several days old. Corned beef sandwich so Much smaller than used to be. Beef didn't even cover the bread.

Fresh sliced large deli sandwiches were tasty. The bakery items were delish! Was in town for a wedding and went back a second because it was so good.

Just getting worse quality goods and always so hectic in there. Given enough chances for this bakery, best of luck

Davis Bakery is at the top of my list to visit anytime I'm in the Cleveland area. Luckily they ship nationally, so I've been able to order some of my favorite things to California. But, there's nothing like getting it fresh from the deli/bakery. On our last visit my brother and I ordered corned beef sandwiches and bought a variety of pastries. The black and white cookies and coconut bars are our absolute favorites. The sandwich was amazing and I'm making this my reminder to get one every visit from now on. The team there is always friendly and helped us grab everything quickly. They also have indoor and outdoor dining but we've always taken our orders to go.

The service was really good and fast, the line was long and I started to leave but I decided to stay. I ordered the Rueben Sandwich on Rye. AMAZING!! Best deli/bakery in the Cleveland area. This place will not disappoint you. The atmosphere was like a busy but efficient deli.

We moved to Cleveland in 2019 and this has become our favorite bakery! The choices are diverse, the prices are good, and it just feels like home. The workers are so nice and welcoming and start to become your friends! I cut back on sugary treats about a year ago so I haven't been as much as I used to, but I still go back every now and then for a wonderful cheat treat. I highly recommend this place to everyone, especially to those on the east side.

Analysts a better option than Corky's was. Excellent bakery and a very solid deli. Good size sandwiches and nice people to boot. My only issue is the potato salad is too sweet for me but many love it. Try it it's very good

I've been coming here for a while. Everyone is friendly and everything is great! My only complaint is how much of my money they get, because I can never just buy ONE thing!

It was okay. I had breakfast here with a co-worker who is a big fan of the bakery. The sandwich was oka, but not for $5. Could have used more ham and some mayo! The rest of the bakery items in the case looked really good. I've had the coconut bars from here and they're delicious. I'll be back, maybe for some baked goods next time.

we go in for the bread and bakery. I bought tea biscuits in poppyseed, and apricot. 6 raisins in the poppyseed but 73 raisins in the 3 inch square tea biscuit. it should have been called raisin tea biscuit.

Worth a several hour trip for their pastries. Try their coconut bars or their gigantic deli sandwiches. SO good!

All is great for both food and service with a natural sincere care about their customers and each other.

I've been going to Davis Bakery/Deli for a few years now while in town and the food and service is great as usual. I always buy deli sandwiches and bakery. It's a bustling, relaxed place and the employees are very professional & friendly. Fantastic kosher foods and other delicious items.

long standing business in Woodmere Village. Excellent Corn beef and popular among the locals

Rudest group of people I have come across in a long time. I can stay home and get ignored with an attitude. Unbelievable really, obviously won't go back. they surely dont need me but F them any how

1949'er was a nice breakfast burrito w two eggs, avocado, cheese, maybe some bacon, and a spicy crema wrapped in a tortilla. Coulda used some mayo or sour cream but wasn't bad at all.

Great sandwich. Great pastry. Local institution. Highly recommended. Get there early for the apple fritters!

A mandatory stop on our way to and from Cincy. Staff is so friendly. Love everything on the menu behind both counters.

Called at 6:40pm, asking if I arrived in five (5) minutes would I be too late - called back and requested I put my order in, to facilitate time. Clerk responded no phone orders after 6:30p, so when I made it in the door, I ordered coleslaw, 2 sandwiches (tuna), and (pastrami), soup, and (4) four separate pastries. I did not receive correct pricing with the couplings offered (the same clerk reported not seeing the register key, but said she'd take (1) one dollar off. When I attempted to eat the pastrami, it would not chew. Horrible!

This review is for the bakery, not deli. Everything I had here was prepared impeccably even. Kichel were crispy and flavorful, not too sweet despite the sugar coating. Rye had a really deep and immediate flavor, and managed to hold up ok for a few days. Coconut cake, while not really my usual thing, was delightfully moist. And the famous Russian Tea Biscuits, while not as poppy-filled as I'd expected, were full of flavor with just the right amount of flake to the pastry.

Excellent deli sandwiches and pastries. Really nice people working here. Simple as that but yelp wants more characters in a review so here they are...

I'm a recent transplant from the Southwest side of Cleve. Had good lunch w a friend here a few weeks ago. My brother drove in from NY for a visit today n wanted a great corned beef sandwich. What he got was horrible. 1/3 of the meat was fat! He didn't want to return it but I couldn't let it pass. I took the plate of fat back up to the deli counter. The guys apologized n offered a half sandwich to go which we couldn't use. I sat back down to catch up w my brother but there were construction workers using saws 5' from where we sat n we couldn't hear ea other. We left pretty disgusted. Must do better!

Thank God for people & places like those of Davis Bakery! Personable, funny, & caring staff, fresh sandwiches, dietary-restrictive (vegan) options, and a classic selection of baked goods makes me wish I could give David Bakery 6 stars! Must haves: the rye bread & onion bagels! Awesome they have this jalapeño mustard-it is a 10/10.

This is one of those places that you can ask for recommendations from the people around you because they are probably the local that has been coming for a while. I think that if I lived in the area, I would too. The staff is really kind. Each sandwich gets a pickle and a cookie (and a smile), and because I was splitting it with my wife, the gentleman cut our sandwich in half and gave us each our own cookie and pickle. That is the kind of hospitality you can expect here! The food itself was neatly and carefully made. A bit bland for my taste; but a by-product of all the ingredients actually being food instead of some processed mess.

All I wanted was some nice Jewish style deli, which just doesn't exist in Cincinnati. My wife and I took a corned beef road trip and Davis really met the need. My new yorker sandwich was exactly what I was looking for. The sandwich was great. My wife's chicken matzoh ball soup was yummy and we took some treats on the road. I forsee more roadtrips to come!

I grew up on Russian tea biscuits, AKA kolachi, and (corn) rye bread from Davis Bakery when I lived in Mayfield Heights OH in the 50's and 60's. I'm thrilled to be able to order both online!

Such a great deli and bakery, they never disappoint. Everyone is always very nice and the food is made fresh and fast. Joe's Italiano is my favorite with the salty salami and bavarian ham balanced with the fresh lettuce and tomato, nicely toasted sourdough and the completed with the Italian dressing, and can't forget their great pickles.

Raw challah dough available on Fridays (call ahead to reserve) you take home and bake. Make your own simple egg wash, sprinkle with sesame &/or poppy seeds and let it rise a couple hours first. Bake and let that fresh baked challah aroma fill your home. Gud Shabbos!

Disappointing to say the least. A bad ambiance. I do not recommend this place at all.

Beautiful custom cakes for any occasion! They are extremely moist and cater to any needs you may have.

I have to update my review. This place opens at 7a.m., so I stopped in for. Corned beef on rye with spicy mustard and extra pickle. The lady behind the bakery counter FORCED ME to get a nut covered cinnamon roll and a bear claw!! I had to eat EVERYTHING when I got to work. Just saying, I feel really happy...

Always fresh with great deli and baked goods with no preservatives! People always friendly.

Very good pastrami,good service,nice place,clean good selection ........ .........free cookie was nice

Was hungry for Breakfast this morning and the light bulb went off to go to Davis Bakery. Decided on a Nova Lox Bagel it was so good!!!

Excellent food, excellent quality, excellent service, authentic ambiance. Highly recommend. Wish they were open on weekends

I think I found my favorite deli. It is old school where the deli meats are on point and they are tasty. The staff is old school but give you that hurry up and order vibe but they love their good food and service is on point. My hot pastrami sandwich is the best I have had since moving to the Midwest.

The BEST bakery in town. The pastries are so fresh and buttery and impossible to put down. The chocolate chip pastries are amazing. It is hard to not buy more than one pack. Also the peanut butter brownies are great! And the staff is so friendly and sweet!

Ambiance: The place is a hodgepodge of different setups including a deli counter, bakery counter, and restaurant seating nestled in the back. They seem to operate pretty independently of each other however. The service at the dessert counter was a little lacking as the lady felt like being at work was the last thing she wanted to do. Food: I got a sampling of pastries including an apple fritter, cherry turnover, apricot Russian tea biscuit, and triple berry bar. All-in-all everything was great! The turnover was flaky, airy, and generously filled with a standard sweet cherry filling. The apricot filling tasted fresh and the basic biscuit texture which was also used in the berry bar was crumbly and buttery. The star of the show was the apple fritter which was pillowy soft in the center but had a perfectly lightly crisped and caramelized exterior. The only thing that would have made the fritter any better would be if they were fresh out of the oven and still lightly warm instead of being lightly chilled in their display case. Overall I thought every item was well executed and tasted exactly how I hoped they would taste. You can definitely expect me coming back here for a pastry fix!

Quality of sandwiches was terrible. Hardly any corned beef on the sandwiches and the ham sandwich we got looked like someone sat on it. Hope this isn't an indication of what's to come without Corky's.
