Servatii Pastry Shop & Deli

Everyone loves their pretzel sandwiches! I think its too much bread to topping ratio, but I am in the minority. Great for office lunches!
Another party pleaser is their beer cheese dip and pretzel sticks cut into chip sized bites. Tonight for about $ 10, I got enough for a party of about 12. People rave when you bring it to a party and it requires zero effort!
Definitely swing by this little shop in an unassuming strip mall if you want to be the hit of the party.

I come to this location because of the deli. I love their chicken salad and salted rye bread. The deli here is only open until 2pm, great for lunch.
Servatii’s has an excellent selection of fresh baked breads (and pretzels). I’m not that big of a fan of their pastries though. I don’t think they really stand out from the rest of the local bakeries and pastry shops.
For the sweet stuff, I go to a shop closer to home. For breads, Servatii’s is definitely worth the trip for me.

This Servatii is tucked away on Anderson Ferry, in a strip mall I’ve honestly never noticed. I think they used to be located across the street but moved (?). The space inside is large, spacious, and was a total surprise to me. I’m not sure what I expected, but it wasn’t to have so many breads, cakes, pastries, AND a deli right there. I was impressed as things looked tempting and smelled fresh. A bakery trick, no doubt, to pipe in those smells (er…have a kitchen nearby so you know things are baking?).
I was here for a pretzel sandwich for a large group party (about 20 people) and was VERY happy with the speed (I pre-​ordered), flavor, and freshness of the sandwich. The staff was friendly and inquired about my plans (party?) which was nice in the otherwise impersonal haste of last minute errand running so often associated with party planning. They asked if they could help with anything else, which gave me pause, thinking about what sweet treats I’d like to bring, but alas it was a pot luck to I resisted. Up selling, maybe, but it’s often hard to go wrong with a treat. One from a friendly, local bakery, nonetheless.
I highly recommend the mondo-​pretzel sandwich for a group gathering– ham, turkey, roast beef, three cheeses, condiments, and veggie toppings, all on a HUGE pretzel. At about $ 40 it was a hit and felt like a real treat (vs a deli tray).
I’ll be back for this sandwich, a sweet treat, or the variety of breads at some point… I just have to remember to add them to places on the west side I’d be willing and happy to frequent. Well done Servatii! I
