About Us

Established in 1955, Kaufman’s Bagel & Delicatessen was built and operated by the late Maury Kaufman. Today Kaufman’s is still a family owned and operated business. The mother-daughter team of Judy & Bette Dworkin can often be found making trays in the back or working the deli counter.

Kaufman’s specializes in Eastern European breads and pastries – and a deli counter, which has become a landmark in the Chicago area. Located at 4905 W. Dempster St. in Skokie, IL., Kaufman’s was chosen as one of the top 10 bakeries in the country by USA Today. We’ve received awards from North Shore Magazine and Restaurant News; our bagels were even flown to Hong Kong for the Hilton’s Grand Opening of their most prestigious 5-star hotel, the Conrad Hilton International Hong Kong.

Kaufman’s boasts a staff from around the world; at any given time you can hear English, Spanish, Italian, French, Hebrew, Russian, Assyrian, Hindi, Yiddish, Czech or German being spoken in the store. We thrive on searching for new and different products all the time – whether as gift items or delectable treats to accent your table.

And to answer that often asked question...

No We’re Not Under New Ownership...
