Trades Delicatessen

I never knew that a bagel could be a revelation...and then I had the pastrami egg & cheese breakfast sandwich from Trader's Deli. Next level. The bacon egg & cheese was also tasty. But the pastrami has kept me coming back. Succulent, tender and not-too-thinly sliced. I've sent a couple others to this deli since, and gotten more pastrami sandwiches myself. And one dangerous hot tip: you can get the sliced pastrami by the pound, if a body is so inclined. I've only done online orders, which have been easy. The space looks very bright and inviting, one day I"ll actually dine in and work my way through other menu items once I can get over this pastrami addiction.

If you are a bagel and lox / coffee lover GO HEREMost amazing everything bagel I've ever tried. Really good ligit pastrami too. Decor and vibe is just perfect, everything we tried was incredible. They have amazing fresh pressed orange juice. I could drink a gallon. All around a really cool place.

This would be my favorite morning place, if they could figure out how to refine their food. There is nowhere else I throw away most of what I buy to eat because it's just not edible or appetizing.Over months of visits, the staff seems more pleasant more often. Service remains hit and miss still -- the same folks still pay more attention to each other than the customer experience. Like one lowering trousers to show personal bits to front of house coworkers isn't exactly appetizing or gradeA. Food wise, mostly very good pastries! But contrast that with steamed milk placed cold in a cortado, and forgetting kolaches, burning them and saying "just eat it. I'm sure it's fine" -- immature service without supervision to train to fix it. Insufferable. Then multiple gloppy over mayonnaise'd egg sandos. A banh mi that's more floppy pig fat than crispy pork belly? Pastrami that's too salty and flabby to eat. Is Rachael Ray the recipe developer? Loving that vintage color palette and that everything matches the espresso machine, plus their own beer next door for cool points. Still Ideation outweighs execution at Trades in 2025.

A big NOPE from me. The location is perfect and the girl who took our order was very friendly. It's hard to mess up a turkey sandwich but they sorta did. For $15, it was very small, had 2 pieces of bacon on the whole thing, and the sauce was so bland I couldn't taste it (the garlic aioli) most places with delicatessen in the name have stuffed, oversized sandwiches, that two people could easily share......but I left feeling hungry and needing more food. I would pass on this place.

Came on a Saturday around 4:30p.m. the parking was plentiful and plenty full. The staff was super friendly and greeted us when we got to the counter. The place has a very cool vibe inside. You can see the walls lined with their house picked pickles and veggies. We let our cashier know that it was our first time. She recommended the French dip or anything with pastrami. I went with the Italian Beef sandwich since I'm on a hunt to try all the ones I can in the area. My wife ordered the egg salad sandwich since they were out of chicken salad. She also ordered the matcha lemonade and I ordered the arnold palmer. Both drinks were very good. The food we got to go. When I got home and tried the sandwich I was a little let down by the overall flavor. I guess I have come to expect a little more heat from giardiniera. The portion is plenty filling and they definitely give plenty of beef. The giardiniera did offer a nice crunch. My wife said her egg salad sandwich had a nice twist on it with a hint of lemon in every bite. I'm not generally in this area of town but glad I came. If in the area I'll stop by again.

Oooo Trades is fabulous. Cute exterior, cozy interior. Wonderful service. An array of bagels, hot or cold sandwiches, and, house smoked lox and meats. Absolutely delicious was my "Italian Beef" on this visit - so tasty was their perfectly braised beef, the right amount of giardiniera, and, beautiful beef broth. WBB often!CHEERS!

Trades has easily become one of my go to bagel spots! The service was nice when we first went and it kept us coming back! I've become attached to their pastrami bagel sandwich, which I get on an everything bagel, while my boyfriend goes for their sausage, egg, and cheese! The bagels are fresh and fluffy and their meat is delightful! The shop itself is decorated very cute! Perfect for a photo op! It also sits between Ladylove and Oddfellows making it a great place to grab a bite and walk to explore the bishop arts area! Highly recommend going during the week to beat the traffic and crowds I know that it will bring!

Got the cured smoked salmon bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese. The salmon was way too salty and parts of it was brown and tough (Not cool). I like salt but that was enough to give me high blood pressure. I wanted to like this spot and buy more of their smoked salmon but I got a major headache after eating 1/2 the bagel. I'm so sad it's such a cute place.

Super friendly staff and one of the best sandwiches I've had in Dallas! I got the Rueben with a side of potato salad, both were fantastic. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lunch spot in Bishop Arts.

Excellent sandwiches, great sides. They have a bigger menu than I first realized - coffee shop with baked goods as well as the breakfast and lunch/dinner sandwiches (both hot and cold). Great patio if the weather is nice.
