A true "Bavarian" deli with an in-house hot sandwich, sides and specialty beers. The Ruben sandwich with house made sauerkraut or red cabbage is the bomb. I haven't been able to try any of the sausages, cause the red cabbage Ruben is so outrageously good. Try the deli counter or the few isles of specialty mustards, mixes, jams, pastas, teas ... and more. Great find with a VERY unique happy hour

Wow, so many different German deli meats to choose from! All delicious. There are also tons of cool German products to choose from. It gets a bit crowded but if you take your number and have a little patience, it's worth it. ?

I've only been to Edelweiss once, but was extremely impressed! Edelweiss appears to be an extremely authentic German shop, delicatessen, and restaurant based on my few weeks in Germany, and some amazingly wonderful unsolicited help from a very kind patron who made some wonderful recommendations and helped me make selections. This patron was from Germany, and moved to Oregon when she was a little girl, and has been coming to Edelweiss ever since.On my visit, the restaurant was closed, so we wound up getting a bunch of things from the delicatessen. Everything we had was utterly fantastic! Be sure to ask about the frozen rolls and bread that you can take home and bake yourself. They don't appear to be advertised anywhere, but they are definitely worth asking for.The parking lot is extremely tiny, and we wound up parking on the street, but that wasn't too big of an issue.

Great find. Unique and authentic food. Deli has a nice variety of fresh meats and cheeses. Employees are very pleasant and helpful. We'll definitely be stopping back in the next time we're in town

I love the environment on Saturday, the store is busting, the smell of the fresh smoked meats, the wonderful things that you just can't find anywhere else. And I love the sweets that my grandmother used to send over for Christmas each year from Germany.

Wonderful European deli, candy treats, pastries and much more, including beer. It’s like a stop in another country. Old world feel to the service.

Have been shopping here with my family since I was a kid. I used to love going and talking with all the German ladies who worked there. They still have the best selection of German breads and wurst in the area but the service can be really hit and miss and the staff doesn't always know their products well. The deli counter tends to take forever whether they are busy or not. You can stand there for ages sometimes even when it's almost empty and there are several employees standing around without anyone offering to help. 4-5 stars for the inventory and helpful staff members, 3 for the spotty service.

I really like this place so much to try and I would have to say next to Otto's they make the best hot dogs in town. They make things there you won't anywhere else. If you have been to Germany or other parts of Europe you'll find products there that'll remind you of home. Love the chocolates you can find there.

Stay away from this people and place.They are masks freaks. Wanted to eat there, there were 3 people yelling at us to mask up. Went across the street. No mask problem there.

Avoid! Worst place I've ever worked. All the sausages got contaminated with human blood and they decided that cleaning the bratwurst with household bleach would be sufficient enough. The owner, tony, has been told me on multiple occasions that he has to fight to keep his employees, any business worth working for should have zero problems keeping employees. They illegally schedule us for overtime without the required break times. They frequently refused to let employees use sick time for actual illnesses. They allowed an employee with COVID-19 to work. Within the two weeks I worked here they had 5 people walk off. They don't care about their product or their employees. Stay away from this bacteria ridden cesspool.
