From the sidewalk, this place stood out with its inviting rustic façade and artistic stained glass signage. The menu items posted outside at the entrance was the clincher for me and my family in deciding to eat dinner here. Upon entering, the restaurant appeared to be a world of woodsy booths that are entered from ground level and two staggered levels above-ground. Our waiter brought us to a booth that had to be entered by walking up a spiral staircase. Our booth really felt like a tree house. The food was amazing, especially the bread which tasted like it was made fresh just for us. I had a veggie burger and it was very filling and tasty. I also sampled my son’s chili and his jalapeño bread. I also sampled a delicious garden salad. And the total price for each item was very reasonable. There are dozens of locations for the The Yellow Deli around the world. I never heard of this place which is surprising because they just celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2023.

This place stuck out immediately when some friends and I were looking for somewhere to eat in Ithaca. The exterior was adorable, and the interior was even better. Everything from the decorations to the cute menus to the music playing was super enjoyable and relaxing. The waiter was incredibly nice and added to everything.

The veggie burgers were absolutely delicious. They have generous portion of avocado and avocado sprouts. The fresh tomatoes add just the right amount of juiciness. I have tried their mango matte and it was so refreshing. Their cauliflower soup is also a must try.

The decoration is amazing. I feel like I’m in a tiny little European village. Because it was my first time here, we got a few samples of a couple drinks which were all amazing. The food was superb. Overall, amazing place and I will come back

Stopped in to just see this cool place on the Ithaca Commons… had coffee and a cinnamon roll and will be back to try the lunch and dinner options. What a unique experience… Thank you!

Walked into the place for quick lunch. Very clean and food was excellent. Started to read the interesting brochures on display and to be honest cant disagree with their way of life.

At first skeptical, but 110% put at ease. The people who work here are exorbitantly kind. Better service and food than any other deli in town. The food is high quality, homemade, and delicious. The interior is incredibly quaint: wood, murals, and music that sounds like you’re in the Shire.

My husband and I were on vacation and wanted dessert, so we went in expecting to get a cookie or a brownie. The waitress was so sweet and recommended that we get the waffle. So we got the waffle and our lives are changed. BEST WAFFLE EVER! LITERALLY! We are devastated that the closest Yellow Deli to us is 4.5 hours away!!

Stopped in with my family for lunch. The interior is gorgeous and the food was good. My daughter loved her waffle with fresh fruit and blueberry sauce. The veggie burger wasn’t that good, too many clashing sauce flavors. Root beer was refreshing, water had a metallic taste. Such an interesting place that I read the pathlet and did research. We are not religious people. We believe in love, peace, and to each their own. We are glad to experience a beautiful place and learn about their history. #beyou #beagoodhuman
