Let's talk about Shapiro's Deli chocolate cake for a second.

Rich, dense, exactly the kind of slice that makes you close your eyes on the first bite — the perfect finish to a lunch or a reason to stop by all on its own.

Summer heat calls for a treat that doesn't ask permission. Grab a slice (or let's be honest, a whole cake) this week.

100 YEARS OF JEWISH TRADITION!

America's oldest single-family deli is right here in Indy's own backyard!

Since 1905, four generations of the Shapiro family have been serving up quality meals for family and friends across the United States.

What makes Shapiro's Deli story so special is the community woven into every dish — buying vegetables from their Italian neighbors, sourcing sugar and beans from Needham Hurst (now NKHurst Beans) since they first opened in 1938, and getting their corned beef from Sam & Emil in Chicago — better known today as Vienna Beef.

A century of tradition, family, and neighborly partnership on a plate.

Come taste the legendary and iconic food of Shapiro's Deli!

🥕 ARLENE'S CARROT CAKE: THE LEGEND YOU DESERVE 🥕

Some desserts are just dessert. And then there's Arlene's Carrot Cake.

This is the one people drive across town for. The one that shows up in birthday texts and "you HAVE to try this" recommendations.

Rich, moist layers loaded with raisins, carrots, and just the right crunch of nuts — all wrapped in cream cheese icing that hits that perfect sweet spot (never too much, never too little).

It's nostalgic. It's decadent. It's Shapiro's Deli!

Some days call for a sandwich. Today calls for cake. 🍰

📍 Come get a slice (or let's be honest, a whole cake) at Shapiro's Deli.

🖤❤️💚 Happy Juneteenth from our family to yours.

Today we pause to honor one of the most important days in American history — the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in America finally received word of their freedom.

Juneteenth is a day of joy, of remembrance, and of recommitment to the idea that freedom must truly mean freedom for everyone.

Here at Shapiro's Deli, we know something about what it means to come from a people who faced persecution. Our founders, Louis and Rebecca Shapiro, fled antisemitism in Ukraine in the early 1900s and built this deli — and this community — from the ground up. That history lives in our food, in our walls, and in our hearts.

It's why we believe, deeply and without reservation, that solidarity is not optional. The struggles of Black Americans are woven into the fabric of this nation's story — and so is their resilience, their brilliance, their culture, and their joy.

Today, we celebrate that joy. We honor that resilience. And we recommit ourselves to being a table where everyone is seen, welcomed, and valued.

Come on in — our door is always open, our portions are always generous, and our love for this community never runs out.
