I love this place so much. Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful food, and quiet gentle service. Everything is created with love, the handcrafted environment and the lovely meals. Just quality through and through. It's like a gorgeous trip to everything good about the 1970's, including the peace and love thing.

What a lovely deli to stumble upon when visiting from out of town. It is beautiful!
I consider myself a hobbit at heart and the vibe here is perfect. The butternut cream soup was fantastic, as was my latte. I wish I could have stayed longer to try more things.
The staff were warm and welcoming. It was also very clean. You could feel the heart put into this deli.
Lunch here was exactly what I needed for my long drive home, thank you so much!

Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate my gluten free kiddo, she enjoyed the substituted bread. I think it was rice loaf

This place is amazing on so many levels. The staff is welcoming to anyone crossing their threshold. The warm and cozy west coast atmosphere inside is like coming home. The menu selection has a delightful simplicity of wholesome options. Be careful when the Reuben is served because it will be piping hot inside which stands out from other establishments.
One of the finest examples of Island dining and hospitality that I've seen in several decades, so happy to wave the flag for these folks.

The food was very good quality. The sandwiches come with potato chips which was very underwhelming for the price. But the chicken sandwich was very good with a very soft bun. My partner had soup which was also very good tasting.

The service was blunt for the most part with some awkward interactions. As if the server isn't a very social person. But no mistakes were made which is the most important thing.

The decor of this establishment is superb and something to behold. I would definitely come here again and would try the home made coleslaw over the chips because that might be better value for money.

I've come here sporadically over the last few years ... And every single time is absolutely perfect! Today though, felt so magical- the attentive care of the hosts/servers, the delicious meal, the ambiance... Just wonderful!

If I could enjoy a moment everyday day at the Yellow Deli, I would !

Please support these amazing humans ?

Food is always good here. My favorite sandwich is Deli Rose and chili with corn bread. Sitting there in the cold months by the fireplace, eating warm soup and sandwich is the best. Summertime is also enjoyable with cold apple cider. Love the place!

Today was our first time at the Yellow Deli. My lady and I shared a Reuben and a Deli Rose sandwich, and they were both excellent, as was the Pina Colada smoothie. Impressively top-notch grub, and we'll be back.
