This place is SO CLOSE to my house and I had no idea it was here! I've lived in this area for 12 years! How did I not know???

First things first, they only accept cash, so make sure you have some! Now that's out of the way, buckle up!

The Starving Artists Cafe & Deli has a unique spin on their menu. Every sandwich is named after an artist! I think it is so clever and fun! The owner has crafted this menu over many years and the pairings are beautiful and perfect! I haven't had a bad sandwich yet!

By the way, there are SO many options to choose from! It can feel a little overwhelming to choose because they sound so yummy! I've actually started a note on my phone to keep track of what I've tried so that I can work my way through the menu! My favorite sandwich so far is the Georgia O'Keefe.

The fries are pretty good. However, the macaroni salad and potato salad are absolutely amazing! The owner said that it is a family recipe from, I believe, her grandma. I love that kind of family tie in.

I've also had a couple of her brownies. Oh my goodness. Super fudgy and my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

There are so many options of sandwiches, sides, and desserts. You could go in and get a different meal over and over and over. And they would all likely be absolutely delicious!

My tastebuds and my wallet have never been more satisfied when it comes to a daggone tasty, affordable lunch. The food is incredible and the prices make me feel like it’s 2007 again. The staff is both lovely and funny and my sandwich is always top notch. I would honestly eat lunch there every day if I could.

Was looking for a good sandwich shop n town n someone told me to try this place out. Man am I glad I did. I got the Rick James which is chicken and jalapenos and it was amazing my friend got a Monet. Sandwiches ready in less than 10 min and they were packed. Can't believe they have been open since 2001 and my friends just told me about it. If you haven't been, you missing out. Service and food 10/10. CASH ONLY

I've been here 3 times now and plan to be a regular. Everything I've tried has been amazing. The sandwiches, soups and salads are hearty and delicious. They don't skimp on the servings or the love that the put into the meals here. Great food and great service. As others have mentioned its cash only, so come prepared.

Just the other day I was praying to God “I wish there was a Panera bread that didn’t suck🙏🏻” and stumbled across this place through divine intervention. I ordered the special. Perfectly crafted, archetypical sandwich & soup combo with a wonderfully curated aesthetic. Heads up, they only accept cash!!

Cute, cozy , small Deli cafe. We got Ruben and the Prince sandwiches. They were amazing with a side of fresh French fries. Best spot for tasty, quick brunch. Just to let everyone know they just accept cash.

This place is a gem! It is one of the few restaurants you can eat at and truly taste the passion in what was cooked.

The revolving daily special with different sandwiches, soups and desserts is also amazing and always delicious.

Food was amazing, price was $20 all together, if it is busy the dining room can get a bit stuffy.

Small place but packs a punch. For the quality of the food you get the price is right. If you love sandwiches this is your spot. So good with great service as well. They were also timely about getting orders out.
