"As you’d probably expect from the name, this German butcher in Glendale is all about the cured meats. They make their own sausages in-house, from bratwurst and liverwurst to cheddarwurst and bockwurst. They also cured their own bacon, house-ferment sauerkraut, and have all kinds of other smoked, cured, and fresh meats for your Eastern European carnivorous needs. For the holiday season, they’ve got their fresh-baked stollen, which, if you’ve never had it, is the kind of fruit cake you actually want to eat. Order in-store or online for delivery. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Per Jason: “There is a little German deli near me called Continental Gourmet Sausage Co. Their walls are adorned with plaques for various sausage competitions they’ve participated in through the decades. They sell international sundries, imported Haribo, fig liqueurs, and deceptively simple sandwiches. For $7, you pick your bread, a choice between a French roll and rye, and your meat and cheese. You can ask for a little mustard, but that’s about it. For 50 cents extra, add some onions, sauerkraut, or *squints eyes* a cheeky slug of Nando’s sauce. They’ll slice your meats and cheeses to order: turkey and butter cheese (a Danish havarti), or maybe mortadella and smoked gouda. They’ll add a scoop of German potato salad, a pickle, and a mini Snickers, the size of a single letter, and cram it into a glorious Styrofoam container. You can also order a sandwich made with one of their housemade sausages, which is boiled in a Crockpot to order.”

We have been getting our Christmas Eve meats here for years. They are always so helpful and patient with our orders. The meats are always top quality, and we have never had any issues. Best to call ahead and place a larger order over the phone so they have time to get it ready. Parking can be a chore if there is not a space out front.

A wonderful little German deli. The meats taste great and they have a nice selection of fresh breads, alongside other staples. I learned about this place from my (German) mom. I take her once or twice a month. It is on our must-visit list when we go shopping. I highly recommend it.

What a find ! I was getting a colleague a special beer he likes and he said I could find it here. The wursts! I mean the whole plaće was amazing -- the breads and condiments and packaged cakes and dumplings and sausages (Irish bangers)-- but the wursts ( and maybe the breads?) i think are all made on site. The counter woman, Armine, was a gem, helping me navigate the selección and winnowing it down to the coarse liverwurst and the tea wurst, both sporting onions with the latter a little more refined. Armine suggested I eat both with chopped onions on their good bread. I bought over $100 worth of various comestibles and then, Armide brought me a sample of what she suggested -- she wasn't selling, I'd already bought. Maybe she took pity on me because my mouth was watering. I was so touched. She said next time i come in to ask for a special sandwich she makes. See you soon!

I grew up in Germany and this place has many of the things I learned to live without over the years. They have a great little deli section with all the basics, not comparable with the spread of products you’d find at a contemporary deli (Metzgerei) in Germany but definitely enough to get you Wurst-fix. Their Fleischkäse is really good and the sandwiches are only $7 at the time of writing. Not only are they huge but they also come with a side of salad (potato salad, Fleischsalat, etc.) Of course you’ll also find all sorts of candies and other comestibles there. I really like the place!

Small unassuming store with an alpine store front. Cozy little store with goodies from Europe and specifically Germany. Outstanding sandwiches, sausages and breads. We were just about the only ones in the store on a Saturday. The woman making the sandwiches was beyond nice and even gave us samples of a just made meatloaf. The German potato salad has to be experienced. Wonderful depth of flavor. The store appears to have street parking only. We will be back for sure.

Excellent little store! Nice selection of food and beers. I got a dill mustard, horseradish cream, stroopwaffles, beer, and some fantastic herb bologna. Service isn’t quick but it’s a very small business, just roll with it.
