Mamaleh's Delicatessen

'Sleep well, mamaleh - see you in the morning.'
'Look at you, mamaleh, helping your brother clean up his room!'
'I like those dance moves, mamaleh!'

Consider this word akin to something like 'Mamacita' in Spanish.

When we opened it 2016, we wanted our name and identity to center around family and love. It all comes back to the children!

Happy Sunday

As we approach the end of July, we’ve come to a decision about Vegan Mamaleh’s that we need to share...

After speaking with the community and hearing feedback on our menu, vibe, and love for all our plant-based deli classics, the consensus is....WE ARE GOING TO KEEP VEGAN MAMALEH’S GOING!

Three months went way too fast...don’t you think?

An affectionate term used for one's native language. Also an album by Mandy Patinkin!

Growing up, our parents used their MAMALOSHEN and spoke to one another in Yiddish when they didn't want us to understand their conversations.

THIS is the weather that our patios were made for 🌤️

85, a *little* lower humidity, a little breeze, and delicious foods from our Vegan Mamaleh’s pop-up at

Stop by from 8 AM - 2 PM today (and tomorrow!) and check out our beautiful patio space - or stay inside in the AC if that’s more your speed. Just get here!

Last week our friend ran a poll asking if we should extend the Vegan Mamaleh’s pop-up past our original end date of July 28 – almost 300 of you want us to continue and we’re soooo grateful for that 😊

When we opened our hope was to create a welcoming, vibrant, & delicious-smelling space where everyone – Jewish and non-Jewish, vegan and non-vegan – would want to spend time. We’re discussing internally, but want you to know how happy creating & serving our plant-based versions of the deli classics has made us. You all, like always, welcomed our new idea with open arms and empty bellies and we’re going to do our best to figure out a way to keep you all coming back 🥹

In the meantime we have one favor: Can you comment WHAT your favorite vegan menu item has been so far? Or even better...come visit us this weekend and tell us in person?!

Refreshing. Nostalgic. Perfect.

The Manischewitz Shpritz should definitely be your drink of the summer!!

L’chaim!

Not quite a swear word, but coming very close, VERKAKTE is used colloquially to describe something that is messed up, crappy, or nonsensical. Use it to describe a situation, an object, or even an idea that is just utterly terrible.

'I would have made it on time if it wasn't for this VERKAKTE car that doesn't accelerate or go above 45mph!'

'This VERKAKTE house!! One thing after another is just falling apart!'

'You and your VERKAKTE dreaming! That plan will never work!'

Plenty of different spellings for this word!
facacta, farkakteh, fakakta, ferkakte, ferkakta, farkakta, facocta, farkakte, fercocta, fercockta, facockta, farkakt, vercackte, vakakat, varkakte

We’re 8!!! 🥯

Let’s celebrate together. Enjoy $8 OFF your Mamaleh’s online order of $12 or more with code CHEERSFOR8YEARS.
And if you come in-person, we have a little gift for you too!

One day (today!) only, limit one use per customer.

It’s about that time when you just need a little something sweet!

Look no further than our Pumpernickel Chocolate Chunk Cookie made with a little toasted rye flour, molasses and studded with dark chocolate 🍪

It’s a grown up chocolate chip cookie that everyone will love!

We are gearing up for our 8️⃣th Birthday!
Please enjoy this photo from our pre-opening days 🙃

To celebrate, we’ve got a special gift for YOU.

Another Mamaleh’s now loading...

That’s right! We’re opening our 5th (!!!) Mamaleh’s location at 101 South Street in Somerville. Boynton Yards is close-ish to our OG Cambridge location BUT this new location is more than just a deli...

It’s THE ticket into the next stage of our growth. We can’t wait to tell you a little bit more as we get closer to launch. For now, just get excited for all that’s to come!

Mamaleh’s Boynton Yards will be open weekdays from 7AM - 3PM starting in mid-July.

From the Yiddish pronunciation of the german word "STINKEN", which literally means "to stink"
The prefix "far-" adds emphasis like "very" or "really"

Can be used literally or figuratively

You might remember the related word "FARSHTUNKENER" which means a smelly person.

Cape Cod(der) without the traffic? We’ve got you.

If you’re hanging around the city this weekend, join us in Cambridge or for boozy brunch ft. a crowd favorite: The Cape Codder

Ours is made with Cranberry craft mixer and a splash of half sour pickle brine! (that’s why it’s so special)

We’re open today, Saturday, and Sunday til 8pm in Cambridge and 2pm at the Kibitz Corner. (And til 4pm in Brookline, but no alcohol there)

It’s like Cape Cod without the traffic. Or like a Cape Codder with pickle juice. Both sound pretty good to us 😊

Quick, grab a bagel!

We’ll be closed on the Fourth. Make sure you’ve got lox in your fridge!

📸

It’s summer and the living (and eating!) is good!!

Beautiful week coming up — if you’re headed out of town, make sure to stock up on all the goodies like sandwich fixings, bagels and schmear, and treats!

All locations are closed on Thursday for the holiday, but otherwise we’re here for you!

Definitely a term of endearment - the ultimate in baby compliments!

Look at the PULKES on him - I just want to squeeze them! 🥰 😍

Can also refer to chicken legs or drumsticks.

Weekends are our sweet spot 🥯

Find all your brunching favorites in and

It’s Thursday, and that means VEGAN MAMALEH’S is ON, but not forever!
This popup is only planned to run through July, so if you haven’t been, don’t wait any longer!

📍Mamaleh’s Kibitz Corner, Thu - Sun, 8 AM - 2 PM

Pictured here top to bottom: Corn’d Beef Rachel, Mock Chopped Liver & Corn’d Beef, Corn’d Beef Reuben

There’s something to satisfy everyone here! (Yes, even your non-vegan friend!)

DER ZUMER is officially HERE!!

Even though this weekend's weather isn't full of sun and heat, we're full of excitement for summer vacations, dusting off swim suits and unearthing goggles from last year, staying out late with less pressure to stick to the weekly routine, and generally making time to enjoy the breeze.

We'll be here for you through it all with cards, caffeine and the comfort food you love, so fuel up with us or take supplies on the road and enjoy DER ZUMER!

Gray skies mean a perfect time to kick back with a great sandwich and good company.

Come hang in and

Remember: now the summer has started, be sure to stock up on bagels and sandwich fixings before heading out for the weekend!

Baking BABKA at home is within reach - we promise!

Case of the Mondays?
We have a fix for that!

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL Sandwich

Give yourself something to get excited about 🤩

He fills up the gas tank when you're not looking, covers the homework help desk, cheers on the sidelines of sports games, helps with dinner and bedtime and laundry, challenges your world view in a supportive way, makes you laugh...

Your dad is such a MENSCH!

Big shoutout to all the fathers out there who love us in their MENSCHY, sometimes dorky, sometimes embarrassing, but always endearing ways!

Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate 🥰

What’s for breakfast, friends?!
