All across America this month, college dorms are filling up with coeds. And from what we hear, those kids are hungry. They’re in dire need of fuel to counter the homesick blues, the all-nighters, and those days when their food plan just isn’t cutting it! For all these reasons, we offer all sorts of care packages that will make your favorite student feel extra comfy in their new digs and–as an added bonus–they’re magical at turning strangers into bffs!

Plus, it’s a great way to get that kid to call (or at least text) you.

The loft has been constructed, the fridge is tiny and there’s an illegal hot plate in the corner. Freshman move-in is complete!

fathers day

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19th. Dad is King for the day! Whether your dad is sweet, salty, spicy, sandwich-y, snappy, or a combination of all these things, we’ve got your gift covered.

The Sweet Dad

Super Zzang
Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory’s Original Zzang bar super-sized for a Super Dad! Dark chocolate surrounding peanuts, peanut butter nougat and caramel. Sure to make your sweet-toothed dad smile.

A sweet sundae for a celebratory Sunday. Made from simple ingredients, Marc Cooper’s hot fudge is milky and chocolaty with just the right amount of sweetness. The perfect accompaniment for dad’s favorite drum of Zingerman’s Creamery gelato. Microwave for less than a minute and you’re in business. Or bring Dad into the Next Door for a sundae: we serve Co-op’s Hot Fudge in house.

Antica Dolceria Bonajuto’s Stone Ground Chocolate
These amazing chocolate bars come to us from a chocolate maker in a little city in Sicily. Founded in 1880, it is one of the oldest existent confection shops, which is still family-owned & operated. Their grainy, cold-milled dark chocolate is made with techniques dating back to the 16th century and uses only two ingredients: cocoa and sugar. The mixture never gets hot enough to melt the sugar crystals, which gives the chocolate its signature course texture.

The Salty Dad

mail-order-able-iconBacon
What dad doesn’t love bacon? I am sure some don’t, but I know many that do. So, you’re in luck. We stock a grand selection of the baconiest bacons around. Whether you go for classic deli all-stars like Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon or Arkansas Peppered Bacon or you opt for an adventurous bacon like the Hungarian Smoked Bacon, it’s bacon and it will be loved.

Landjaeger
If your dad passes on the bacon, it’s likely that he is actually a landjaeger man at heart. Go for the Schaller & Weber Landjaegers that are sold in a large giftable package. They are deliciously snackable and satiable for any salt loving dad.

mail-order-able-iconPeanut Brittle
This is the perfect gift for the sweet-toothed, salt-loving dad. Featuring jumbo runner peanuts, which have been roasted in a pot of deeply caramelized sugar, and combined with butter, vanilla and a touch of sea salt. One bite and your dad won’t want to share this addictive blend of crunchy, salty, sweet, and nutty!

The Spicy Dad

mail-order-able-iconSpice Trekkers – book and spice kit
We are slowly (or maybe quickly) falling in love with our new spice-trekking friends at Montreal’s Épices de Cru (a.k.a Spice Trekkers). If Dad loves to experiment in the kitchen with a wok or make his famous chili or stew, these spices will keep him intrigued for quite some time. The book is full of great recipes and the spice kit is very well-rounded. A great way for an adventurous Dad to discover something new that he likes.

The Snappy Dad

mail-order-able-iconEspresso Blend #1
For the quintessential coffee-drinking Dad, the one who’s always got his thermos in-tow. We brew Zingerman’s Coffee Co. Espresso Blend #1 daily at the Deli as our house blend. It really shines in our lattes, macchiatos and specialty coffee drinks! Sweet and rich bodied, with notes of bittersweet chocolate and a hint of hazelnut. The long finish is tantalizing on the tongue!

Zingerman’s Travel Mugs
Dad can keep his coffee hot for hours in our spill-proof travel mug – stylish stainless-steel with an etched Zingerman’s logo. A free coffee beverage comes complimentary with purchase.

Zingerman’s Cold Brew
For the Dad that likes to rev up and go, go, go. Zingerman’s Cold Brewed Coffee is made exclusively at the Deli over 24 hrs. The cold brewed extraction process eliminates any bitterness from the flavor, producing a smooth tasting, supercharged drink with a powerful kick.

The Sandwich Dad

Nothing like playing Zingerman’s Deli in your very own kitchen. Stock Dad’s pantry with everything he needs to make our nationally renowned Zingerman’s Reuben at home in his own castle.

If you’re lucky, Dad will share and make you a sandwich, too.
