We stopped here on a lower east side food tour. To be fair the knish was piping hot and more than enough to share. At $5.50 for a knish in NYC that seems reasonable enough. We ordered the mushroom knish which was filling but not...as flavorful as I expected. Still, visiting this legendary shop was a treat.More

If ever I'm in the area, a stop at Yonah Schimmel's is a must! We had just had dinner and dessert; there was no room in our bellies at the moment, so we ordered four knishes to-go! Now, from home, we are loving each and...every bite. Our standard favorites are the spinach/ potato and the plain potato. It seems as if the knishes recently got a tad smaller. Actually, I think that's a good move, as they were oversized in the past. Not only are the knishes comfort food, but there is something comforting about going into this establishment. I love the cases, the signs, the dumbwaiter, the photos and articles posted. It is like stepping back in time. I am grateful!More

I placed a mail order for Yonah Schimmel's knishes from Goldbelly. Not the good old knishes Yonah Schimmel sold years ago. The plain potato onion knish I received was tasteless. I get a better (and cheaper) knish at Zebar's.

Had to stop at the famous Yona Schimmel's Knishes! Had the cherry cheese (my favorite) and the potato and spinach. Very delicious ! Food to go - we ate them in the cab ride back to the hotel!

The Greatest Knishes You Can Buy Since 1910! We picked-up a dozen, when visiting the City in July. Brought them out to my aunt & uncle on the Island. They loved 'em. My dad and grandmother used to take me there, when I was a...kid in the 1960s. Still incredible. They have traditional knishes (potato & kasha), plus an interestingly incredible variety. My aunt went nuts over the Chocolate Cheese Knish, and my wife was gaga over the Jalapeño & Cheddar Cheese Knish. Only homemade could be better, and even then not always. Do not miss them if you want real knishes. I'm making myself hungry just writing about them. Gonna order some to be shipped to Denver right now!More

This is the place to go for both savoury and sweet knishes if you like that sort of thing. We found our potato knish a bit bland and soggy.

After watching numerous vlogs and reading about it, we couldn't wait to give this place a try. They were selling Knishes for 4$ or so and we grabbed the 2 potato, 1 spinach and 2 vegetable knishes. Unfortunately, they were out of the babkas and...any other goodies. The knishes were delicious and we enjoyed them a lot. Just what we expected and we checked it off from the list. So glad we could go here. Please give this a try, you wont be disappointed.More

Grabbed a blueberry knish for $5.50 while I double parked. Have had their knishes twice before from family that stopped in. First time inside myself. Back closed off for storage.

A knish is a traditional Jewish snack of dough and filling. Yonah Schimmel has been around NYC since 1910, and are some of the best! I had the potato and the vegetable, served hot. It was like comfort food served in a palm-sized cake. Perfect...on a blustery, cool day. So fresh and seasoned and tasty! They also had cabbage, broccoli, sweet potato, mushroom, jalapeño and cheddar or mozzarella. They also have sweeter knishes, such as blueberry, apple, chocolate, cherry. Humble storefront, and indoor dining is closed, but many nearby benches and parks to enjoy. I travel for business. So good that I shipped an order of 12 best sellers to my husband back home through GoldBelly. Cheap and fantastic. And when I went on a Saturday afternoon, no line. Don’t pass this up.More

Never had a better knish in my life and I am 60 years old. Came out piping hot and absolutely divine. I am going back tomorrow.

Absolutely phenomenal knishes. MY comfort food and this place is the best. My staple potato and kasha are loaded with a great dough surrounding and also GREAT is the mushroom. For sweet the cheese knish is delish too. You can’t go wrong here. Worth every...penny.More

My Favorite 1 thing great bakery. They have and only do 1 thing great! Traditional ole school Knish. My favorites are the blueberry cheese and the Mushroom. a small storefront serving these old treats done in the traditional way. Reasonable and consistent pricing in the...heart of the lower eastside at the 2nd Have F train stop.More
