One of my favourite stores in St. Lawrence Market and my go to place when planning to make a charcuterie board. Scheffler's Deli sells premium, high-quality cured cold cut meats from all around the world. They also offer a wide variety of cheeses by the weight. And if you're looking for gourmet food products ranging from olives, antipasti, condiments and imported nuts like Marcona & Valencia almonds, this is one place where you want to get them. Once or twice a year I make it a point to buy my all time favourite cheese, St. Andre Triple Cream in this store and the owner, Odysseas always gives me a good deal when buying a whole wheel of this cheese. I also love cooking international cuisine and this is where I get authentic and hard to find ingredients like Peruvian sweety drop peppers, Bulgarian style feta cheese, Jamon serrano, etc. Family-owned store plus dedicated and friendly staff (especially Sandra), you will always have a great experience shopping here! read more

The charcuterie snack box for $12 is a must grab! I get this every time I go and I enjoy every delicious item in there. Their meats, cheeses, and accouterments are all high quality and delicious from what I've sampled. Staff is helpful as well. A staple in the market! read more

This is a great deli within the St. Lawrence Market. We have been buying things from them for quite some time. Probably at least 15 years. They have a fantastic Mediterranean vegetable table. I.e. olives, roasted peppers etc. They are one of our favorite places to buy that kind of fresh antipasto. They also have really great pate's, deli meats, cheese. Found that their pates in particular have some very interesting flavors including a lot of game. We also picked up some really great looking Montreal smoked meat to make some deli sandwiches. If you're looking for deli in the market hands-down it's the best place to go. Fast and friendly service as well. read more

Scheffler's is the kind of deli that's so good it makes you want to move to Toronto. It's a living, breathing charcuterie board in the middle of a St. Lawrence's Market. First of all, bravo on the samples. I haven't seen this many samples in a Costco. I haven't seen this many samples in the Great White North except at the Granville Island Public Market. Oh yeah, and if it's not out for samples already ... just ask ... they know you'll love it all! They have the meats. They have the cheeses. I mean, they made a couple a charcuterie wedding cake, people! They also have the patés, stuffed peppers, antipastos, tomatoes, roasted garlic, dips, olives, salads, truffles, milks, spreads, oils, vinegars, mustards, condiments, and dressings ... from all over the world. And, near and dear to my heart, homemade pesto! Scheffler's says they have "the largest selection of prosciutto in the city" and with their bounty, it's hard to argue. I would add BEST selection to that name, as well. Some of those that stood out? I tried a strong, nutty, bold, and sweet Fontina from Italy's Aosta Valley made from unpasteurized cow's milk. I also loved a Spanish chorizo and a French paté, the brand names of which escape me. Everything I tried at Scheffler's was DELI-icious! read more

Scheffler's Delicatessen - a variety of appetizers - Delis Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love this place. Excellent and huge selection of curated items. And the staff are great! It gets super busy on Saturdays and the staff manage the large crowds with a pleasant ease -they opt for the number taker on Saturdays which really helped keeping people spaced when required. Their olive bar is amazing; fun selection of pate and a one of the few locations to get clotted cream if I recall correctly. A must try! read more

6/24/15: Came here as part of a food tour, and while I didn't get to choose the items that we ate, I could tell that everything is awesome here. 1. Cheese: The one we had was some kind of cheddar (I think). Very strong and packed with flavor. Has more of the stinkiness found in the high-end soft cheeses, and is just a totally high-end ultra-high-grade cheese. 2. Prosciutto: Well, I think it's prosciutto, or at least some variant. Sorry, I'm not versed in all the different cured meats, but to me that's the general category. Sliced ultra-super-thin and served on butcher's paper. Looks and tastes great. 3. Peppers: So, I dunno what these were, but they're a little more than 1cm in diameter, and are really cute! Red with a little tail sticking out. You eat them with toothpicks. Tastes sweet and isn't too hot. Love these! If you want a snack, this is the place to go if you're in the St. Lawrence Market building. #curedmeat #meatstore #cheese #snacks read more

Scheffler's Delicatessen - Cheese, meat, and sweet peppers. - Delis Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

After a frantic few days of looking for a condo to rent after having just relocated from Australia, the last thing we wanted to do was have to slave over a hot stove to cook dinner. Thankfully we were dropped off by our realtor at St Lawrence Markets. It was very late in the afternoon and it was mostly empty but we found our way to a great deli that had some of our favorite products, cheese, terrines and prosciutto. They have a huge variety of cheese at very reasonable prices (compared to Australia anyway), three types of terrines (we opted for Pheasant and Pistachio) and three or four types of prosciutto (we opted for Italian). The terrine was really good, great taste and not overly rich. Pieces of pistachio was found throughout. We had a lovely "picnic" at our temporary accommodation, which was something we often did on Friday nights at home. read more

Scheffler's Delicatessen - Charcuterie plate at home - Delis Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is my favorite store in the market. I like it better than the mustard shop, better than the Mad Mexican downstairs and even better than the bakery that sells the *gasp* raspberry twists. The best: They have the best prosciutto going for home use. I admit that some of the house-cured hams at the finer charcuterie establishments 'round town probably take the cake. For home use though, this is where it's at. The good: - They have an entire wall of olive oils - They sell some harder to find meats (which Kat found out when she was on a mad rush to find speck one day) - They have the best prosciutto going. Did I mention that? It's the 18month Italian one. That is the one you want. The bad: - A bit pricey. I actually find the market to be expensive across the board. (smoked turkey $20/kg, above mentioned prosciutto $55/kg). Normally at Loblaws, 10 slices of thin (Canadian, 8-12m) prosciutto is $3-$4 and my 10 slices today cost almost $8 (well spent) - It's rammed in here on the weekend. You can't even get near it. - I'm never sure where I'm supposed to order meat from. The counter doesn't really have a 'stand here for meat' sign. Would I go here again? Absolutely. I love the meat here. I'd rather pay a bit more for the finest pork I can acquire than settle for a second rate sandwich. I will be holding master classes in sandwich artistry in the coming months, stay tuned. read more

I used to come to this place until I noticed something sketchy going on. They had this batch of calendo brie on sale, and I saw from the packages that they would expire very soon (I checked the whole stack, they were all about to expire), so I didn't buy it. I come back 2 weeks later (so the cheese would have been expired by now), but the cheeses were STILL THERE! And the expiration dates had been RUBBED OFF THE PACKAGE! You could see the blurry smudge where the expiration stamp used to be. Also, their prices are not even that great. Certain cheeses are overpriced, and the crackers (like the rainforrest chips) are way more expensive than say Domino Foods downstairs. read more

I just had some Pingue prosciutto that I purchased today upon the recommendation of my meat lovin sistah, Christine C. This prosciutto is some of the best I have ever had. Like Sarah L says, it ain't cheap, but it is worth it. Served on a baguette slice (from Carousel) is my favourite way to enjoy these thin slices of heaven. As soon as you bite into this cured meat it goes from light and airy into a soft buttery texture against your teeth. The flavour is amazing. This stuff is nitrate free, so it does not taste like the prepacked stuff you get at the grocery store. It also isn't tough and super salty like that cheap ass shit either. The next time you are at the Market, do yourself a favour and get a few slices of Pingue (Niagara on the Lake) prosciutto. You won't regret it. read more

My favourite cheese shop in the St Lawrence Market. So many free samples always get me to buy new things. Today's haul included: Italian burrata ($10 and they bring it in every other week) Comte Gruyere (my kid wants fondue with her friends for New Years) Iberico Sausage Chèvre read more

If you didn't know, you'd probably just pass Scheffler's off as just another delicatessan in the market that sells some other "stuff". But you need to look closer to truly appreciate what they have to offer. Let's be honest, you can probably get the same cheeses, the same olives, and the same proscuitto anywhere, but you can't find fresh pate/terrines anywhere else. The only other place I know of in TO that offers this would probably be Petite Thuet? But Scheffler's sells nice little wedges of exotic terrines out front such as rabbit, wild boar, pheasant, caribou, goose, etc. and also some of the more traditional duck and pork based terrines. Scheffler's is always my first and last stop at the market. Prices are reasonable and the quality can't be matched anywhere else. read more

Generally I find the St Lawrence market overpriced and overrated - you can find equal or better products all around Toronto; the benefit of getting all at one time is not worth the cost. But Schleffer's has totally changed my view, because hot damn did they kill it this past Saturday. Loaded with free samples, ample sales staff who were more than willing to talk and let us taste their cheeses - without being pushy or stingy, and half price on all their french cheeses - we came away with some dynamite old cheddar and two bries. I will happily make the bike down here out of my way for all my future fromages. read more

Seriously what is not to like about a place that serves up delicious deli meats and cheeses with an appetizers bar that will blow your mind! I mean, how many different types of olives does one need to host a cocktail party? This place has it all...the staff is very helpful, and let's face it...some of the men behind the meat counter are pretty freakin' HOT! Which only adds to an already enjoyable shopping experience! The prices here are on par with other shops in the market, and yes, the prosciutto can be a little pricey, but it is THE BEST prosciutto in town, so I'll happily pay it. If you're not into to delicious deli meats, cheeses and olive bars, I would like to point out they also stock some exceptional pates...I'm talking pheasant and pistachio, or wild boar and pear people! But wait, in additional to ALL OF THE ABOVE...they also carry some kick ass gourmet pantry items...olive oils, aged balsamics, gourmet cooking chocolate, truffle oil...the list goes on, and on, and on. Yeah, it gets five stars...I'd give it 6 if I could (if only for cutie who served me). read more

Scheffler's carries the most outrageous Dry Cured Spanish Chorizo that is locally made. It is supplied to Scheffler's by Barcelona Meats. They are sold in bulk not wrapped. $3 per sausage best of all, they are Nitrate Free, Gluten Free, No MSG, and no Trans Fats! They have them in both Mild and Spicy! read more

Scheffler's Delicatessen - Awsome Chorizo at Scheffler's! Just picked some up and went for a beer! - Delis Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is part of my Saturday morning extended breakfast route. Every Saturday morning I wander past for their samples which are delicious! They have the most delicious cheeses and hams to try and I'm addicted. This would definitely be my destination for the tastiest brie and prosciutto if I was having people over for dinner or wine and cheese. They have a wide selection, the staff are friendly and they know their products. Yes, it's pricey, but I'll save the cheap cheese for people I don't like. The store also houses a wide range of jams, crackers and condiments. It's dangerous to visit really-too much temptation for someone like me. Every time I go there I seem to wander out with fig jam or some kind of marmalade. My yoga pants are the only thing that fit now! read more

Scheffler's is one of my favourites in the St. Lawrence Market. With an extensive deli section, a selection of cheese, yogurts and an olive bar which also includes items such as housemade hummus, tzatziki, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella - this place is every hostesses dream come true. You will also find a variety of specialty olive oils and spices. This is a family-run business and the owners are extremely friendly and down-to-earth. Although you can find more economical prices for the more common cuts of deli meats, you definitely won't find some of the specialty items elsewhere! read more

The best PICKLES I've EVER had.. They are really amazing with aftertaste, massive and sit in a large barrel. Grab a few and they are even a better deal than the store jarred pickles. Maybe keep some gum handy after for the garlic but really, these are in their own category of goodness. They do their antipasti foods really well. Great eggplant, provolone and sun dried tomato snacks, the dips are all high quality (loved their baba ganoush). Stop by here at St Lawrence, you won't regret the treats you bring home. read more

Amazing assortment of cheeses and cured meats. They're helpful, friendly and mean business when it comes to cheese. It's a weekly stop in the market... read more

The best deli meats and overall spread selection I've had in toronto. Reasonable prices.

This place is my new favorite shop ever! The cheese and meats selection is GREAT! The staff are all very helful, warm and inviting! A really knowledgeable man helped me pick a great new cheese! Also the women at the cash were very warm and personable, I look forward to many great meals brought on by this place! read more

This is officially my favourite St. Lawrence Market cheese stall. That is saying a lot because there are a million of them. Let me "Brie"k it down for you: 1. Helpful, knowledgeable, not-pushy staff 2. Great prices and specials 3. Plentiful, multifarious samples I stopped by on a weekend market stroll and tried everything from 15-year-old cheddar to Brie de Meaux (raw milk) to the triple creamed cheese they had on sale, and if you're reading this, Scheffler's -- I bought them all! A-Oka. Very gouda. Cheddar than all the rest. I'll see myself out. read more

I love the St Lawrence market - there's a reason so many international foodies rate this as one of the best markets in the world. The primary reason it is so good are the shops within, and Scheffler's is one of my regular stops. They have a great selection of cheeses, including many local and artisanal treasures, not just all the requisite offerings. The selection of meats is focused on the quality end of the scale, so if you're used to buying deli meats at No Frills there will be some sticker shock for you, but No Frills doesn't sell Jamon Iberico de Bellotta, do they? Scheffler's also carries an excellent assortment of condiments, dips and other delectables. Stop by and your stomach will thank you! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I've been going here for years. I always get some roasted garlic, farmer's cream cheese, hummus and my mini pitas and/or crackers. Staff are always lovely. Only once did I find mouse teeth marks that had chewed threw my mini pita bag. read more

Love this place make my usual run when I'm in the market. Great variety of fresh deli meat and cheeses from around the world. You want some quality ,this is the place to hit . But what binds it for me , its the great staff . friendly and knowledgeable. I cant say enough about this gem in the St Lawrence Market .No problem in letting you taste the great products. And lets not forget , Angie is smoking hot !! But if your having friends over and looking for amazing products to give your party that wow factor this is the place read more

Very nice selection of deli meats and had no problem taking back some cheese I bought yesterday that was mouldy (and shouldn't have been!)

Ordered a charcuterie board from Scheffler's and it was excellent. Included was 8 different cheeses and 4 different meats along with gherkins, olives, figs and nuts. The presentation was great, including labels for each item and it was lots of food. I would definitely order this again. read more
