About the company

Trades Delicatessen is an award winning, from-scratch deli based in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas, Texas. What sets Trades Deli apart is that we bake our breads, bagels, pastries, and sweets from scratch and smoke our own meats, using local ingredients whenever possible. Our inspiration came from Italy, New York, and Southern California, where we have enjoyed some of the best bagels and sandwiches throughout our travels. 

In addition to baking all our breads and smoking our meats, we roast our own coffee right here in the deli, as well as brew beer in our brewpub, Jaquval, which is adjacent to the deli. 

Trades is a quick service restaurant with a large lunch volume from walk in guests and online orders. We offer catering that is primarily geared towards offices and meetings. Trades is also the coffee, bread, and smoked meat provider for our sister restaurants -- Oddfellows, Revelers Hall, and Jaquval.
