Deli, Market and Cafe​

"We may be hard to find the first time, but we're also hard to forget." --- Joel Goetz, Owner

JO-EL's is not the kind of place you just run into. A little hard to find the first time, but certainly worth the trouble.

Started in a 4 car garage in Gulfport more than 39 years ago, JO-EL's Kosher Deli, Market and Cafe is a family owned and operated business with a comfortable, warm, friendly, casual atmosphere.

​You'll find very personal customer service and a fabulous staff here to make you happy! Everyone from New York comes here - and coincidentally, the owners are from Brooklyn and the Bronx, so Northerners will feel right at home! While you're here you'll meet Joel and Ellen, the Patriarch and Matriarch for whom JO-EL's is named. Daughter Sharon manages the store and handles all the catering and special orders. Gregory, Terry and others have worked here for years and years. It all adds up to a unique and special place for breakfast, lunch or to pick up something for dinner. We offer only the best hand sliced nova and lox, real Kosher corned beef and pastrami, homemade pickled tongue, 1/2 sour and sour green pickles and so much more. Bakery goods are brought in from New York: Green's and Beigels bakeries. Some excellent baking is also done on the premises. We cater for all life-cycle events and we cook for you on all major holidays (YES, we deliver). By Purim each year the butcher shop and market are Kosher for Passover. We carry a wide variety of:
Gefilte Fish - fresh, frozen, jarred or canned
Cholev Yisroel and other Kosher Cheeses
Many products From Israel - Bamba, Bissli and Bourekas to name a few! Extensive wine selection from all over the world

Of course we carry Corned Beef, Pastrami and Tongue

We're family friendly, service dog friendly and wheelchair and handicapped friendly. So make a date and come in for a visit - we look forward to meeting you and starting a lifetime relationship!

A Taste of Ukraine with Chef Lana was a warm and tasty event held at the deli. 🇺🇦
It began with a beverage and a shmooze! Appetizers included a fall salad 🫜🥕🥔 and a cucumber, radish and fresh dill salad 🫜🥒followed by a scratch baked roll tossed in garlic, olive oil and parsley. The main event was preparing the 3 varieties of piroshki: cabbage, beef and potato. Guests participated in making, rolling and filling the dough.
Then… We Ate Them!
Dessert was a chocolate kartoshka, a no bake crushed biscuit cookie shaped like a potato. 🥔
Finally, like all good cooking demonstrations, there was a sing -a -long!

Thank you Lana for sharing your talent and your heart with everyone. Thank you to everyone who attended. 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦

Here is an easy idea for dinner.

One pan herb chicken with roasted potatoes and carrots seasoned to perfection!

Like having your own personal chef, Lana
can fully cook this meal so you just heat and serve or she can prep it raw so dinner is ready to go in your oven. Take home this dish in an aluminum pan and clean up is a breeze too!

Enjoy
