Sherman's New York Style Deli and Bakery has been a Palm Springs landmark since 1963, and it has earned that reputation one pastrami sandwich at a time. This Kosher-style family restaurant in Riverside County‘s Desert Region serves the kind of deli classics that people crave — towering sandwiches, matzo ball soup, and a breakfast menu available all day long. It is the real deal.

The bakery side of Sherman’s is just as impressive. Their New York-style cheesecake, layer cakes, cookies, and other baked goods are made in-house and hard to resist. Many regulars make a point of picking up something from the bakery case on every visit, and it’s easy to see why once you’ve tried a slice of their cheesecake. The display cases alone are worth a look, filled with the kind of dense, serious baked goods that don’t rely on flash or trendy flavors.

For dog owners, Sherman’s welcomes well-behaved dogs at their outdoor seating area. You can sit outside with your pup, enjoy a classic Reuben or a corned beef on rye, and watch the Palm Springs street scene go by. The outdoor seating is comfortable and shaded, and the staff is genuinely friendly toward canine guests. A bowl of water for your dog is typically just a quick ask away, and staff don’t make you feel like you’re imposing by bringing a dog along.

The restaurant also offers beer and wine, which pairs nicely with their heartier sandwich options. Portions are generous here, so come hungry. Breakfast is a popular choice, and the fact that they serve it all day means you and your dog can take a leisurely morning walk first and still order pancakes or an omelet at noon.

Sherman’s has survived and thrived for over six decades because it delivers exactly what it promises: classic deli food done right in a warm, welcoming setting. For dog owners visiting Palm Springs, it’s one of the most enjoyable dog-friendly dining spots in the city.
