My husband and I have been loyal customers of The Current Cuisine in Yellow Springs because we genuinely enjoy the African Chicken Peanut Soup. Unfortunately, our experience on February 17th,2026 was deeply disappointing. My husband entered the restaurant when it was quiet. There was no line, and he had been standing inside looking at the baguettes for a few minutes, by himself. Two staff members came out from the back and did not acknowledge him. A white woman then entered the store and was immediately greeted with "Can I help you?" My husband had clearly been there first. When he calmly questioned whether they intended to skip over him, he was met with defensiveness and told not to speak to the employee's daughter that way -- despite not raising his voice or being disrespectful. Being ignored and then treated as though he had done something wrong for asserting his place in line felt dismissive and uncomfortable. As Black customers, experiences like this are not minor. We value businesses that treat all customers with equal acknowledgment and respect. Unfortunately, this interaction has caused us to reconsider returning. We hope ownership takes this feedback seriously and ensures that all guests are welcomed consistently and fairly. read more

Breakfast sandwiches are killer. Egg and cheese with tomato (warmed) was perfect for breakfast. Service was great with women working hard to make me come back. We sat outside to people watch and that made us enjoy our time together. read more

I love Current Cuisine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best place in the area to get a quick snack or meal or dessert. The salads, the sandwiches, the hummus, the soups, the cakes, the almond bars!!! I could go on and on. Service is always on point. Cute small town deli kind of vibe. I would eat here every day if I could. It's the best!!!! read more

This deli has a variant of pasta salads, tuna salad, seaweed salad, fruit salad, and on and on! I bought a pound of the couscous and seaweed salad, both were flavorful and delicious! They also can make sandwiches of your liking and have bagels with a variety of spreads. It looks like all of their selections change throughout the months! 2 ladies were working on a Sunday and able to keep up with everyone and with smiles on their faces! You can also get some bakery items here and delicious slices of cake! On the way out you can grab jars of jelly, salsa, condiments, some cheese, meats, and chips! The Italian sandwich, the 2 salads, and slice of cake we got was $25 and worth it! Thanks! read more

This has been a go to spot every time I am home. Always had great service and the food choices are perfect. Highly recommend.

I was so hungry I wolfed down my sandwich before I could take pics, but trust me it was delicious! This little deli had a case full of cold salads and a shelf full of beautiful baked goods. So many tempting choices. The tuna salad sandwich and side of broccoli salad made a perfect lunch. They have no inside seating, but outside table seating was a great spot for people watching in Yellow Springs. read more

First of all I'm a huge fan of the food and the selection here. They have unique and fresh deli items lined up to pick out what you want. I have been quite impressed with the selection as well as the quality of food and desserts that they have. The customer service, not so much. One staff member, I believe her name is Eva, I have had multiple negative experiences with. She actually said that "I didn't need to know her name" when I asked and that she could not have possibly done anything as there were other people working. My husband point blank said why yes but you were the only one that was rude. And she still was completely unapologetic. From the minute we walked in she barked at us and asked if we were with the person behind us, who was actually the one standing too close to us as we were on the appropriate mark. Having said that she should not be yelling at her guests at all! She would not let us pay for our drinks after waiting in line because our food wasn't ready so we couldn't go outside with them, and when I slipped my mask down for a second to take a sip because I was incredibly thirsty she yelled at me again! Also I had tried to order sourdough bread, I was told that the items that are sold out were on a sign, which sourdough was not on. That was actually not Eva, which was annoying but at least they said it nicely even if it was incorrect. I'm just not a fan of getting yelled at. Especially when I'm paying to eat somewhere. My husband said that he thought Yellow Springs was supposed to be a kind a happy and kind place. This was actually my second time in the past month that I have gotten completely rude service from the same staff member there, and to me that's just unacceptable. I only came back because the food is really good. Two stars because the food is great but I have never been so appalled by a staff member's blatant lack of regard for customer service. I have also been hesitant to leave bad Yelp reviews during this unprecedented time but enough is enough. read more

Current Cuisine offers delicious foods for a quick bite to eat or party trays for a special gathering. Their catering service is one of the best in this area. Whether it is a small or large event, their years of experience and fabulous food make your event a smooth and successful experience. I must highlight Current's pastries and cakes. Their baked goods are like home made, only better. My friends and family request Current's carrot cake whenever we are planning a gathering. And the cinnamon pull-aparts are a very special Yellow Sorings experience every Saturday. Current Cuisine is a special, culinary, Yellow Springs experience. read more

The selection and staff at Current Cuisine were great! Sandwiches, cold case, baked goods, and some cute picnic items. I wouldn't grocery shop here as the prices are a bit high, but they had a nice selection for a gourmet evening in or out. I'm always on the lookout for additions to a charcuterie board, and found some nice cheese and pickles. read more

This place never disappoints. No matter what I choose, it is always delicious. Today, my sandwich was a toasted wheat bagel with turkey, provolone cheese, mayonnaise and avocado. It was superb. Their cakes are out of this world good. I love this place! read more

I like the hummus at Current Cuisine. It's the best stuff they have there. The bagels and salads are okay and there's plenty of vegetarian choices. It has a grocery section but it's not cheap. They can get crowded as it's a small place and service is not fast. I have liked most of what I've tried. It's got more of a selection than at the deli in Tom's Market. They're also known for its catering. It's one of the few caterers you'll find there. They have a good selection of bagels and salads. A few salads look kind of pricy for the portions. The couscous salads are my favorites. I always get hummus when here. The regular is thick and packs a lot of flavor. On a bagel it's even better. To get a bagel and hummus is about $5 total so a fairly good price. Bagels here are fresh and soft. The grocery section is not worth it. It's too expensive. The same stuff can be found in the Emporium or Tom's Market. I recommend Current Cuisine if a quick breakfast or lunch. The hummus is great on the bagels. They also cater and will make custom orders for you. read more

Current Cuisine Deli - Inside - Delis Near Me - Yellow Springs, Ohio

Local deli in YS. Quite good. Daily lunch specials. GREAT cake slices YUMMY but they'll go straight to you're hips and you won't care. Everything fresh made daily. I like veggies and there's usually a nice selection of and salads. My dog and I love teriyaki salmon on Monday! read more

I like to come here often for lunch. I'd probably prefer to give 3.5 stars if I could, but I think they deserve a round up to 4 rather than down to 3. They have soups, sandwiches, and an array of rotating prepared items in the deli case, and usually a daily lunch special too. I'm usually pretty happy with my choices from the deli case. The soups and sandwiches, in my experience, aren't anything special, but they're usually solid and do the trick. read more

THIS PLACE RULES. Let me tell you--the cuisine is definitely current. The lunch I got was fantastic, wish I could have ate here multiple times during my visit. But the grocery section was everything I wanted out of life. It is literally the 4 or 5 sections in every major grocery store I visit, but compressed into one small little section of groceries. It is like a "most played" playlist for me but for groceries. The vibe, the people, the menu... it is all fantastic. read more

Nothing beats the ease and comfort of Current Cuisine and their outdoor tables. My favorites are the Chicken Salad Veronique, a whole what bagel, toasted with butter, and a slice of Steve's Comfort Cake is an absolute must!! They also carry Patak's Curry Paste, which is great for home cooking. read more

Carryout to Yellow Springs Brewery. Very busy and were running out of available products. Italian sandwich and pasta salad on the side. Blueberry and lemon scone too. Deli does have made to order sandwiches and a large selection of chips, cheeses, olives plus deserts. A good variety of flavored truffles. Drink coolers have a nice selection of beverages. read more

Great locally owned store. I have only had the chocolate cordials - but they make it worth the trip. The raspberry cordials are the best, but the rum and the amaretto are also good. The store is very small and always seems to be hot, but the chocolate doesn't melt. read more

So I'm getting married and everything, and I want to do something simple, yet of quality as well. I've eaten at Current in the past and have really enjoyed their food, so we sat down with Karyn, the owner, and went over the possibilities. We arranged for a variety of heavy appetizers, and my fiance's aunts got together and made lasagne, as well as brought in some pulled pork and smoked turkey from another caterer since most of what we ordered was veggie. Throughout the process Karyn was very helpful and responsive, and contacted us to check in and make sure everything was in order. The big day arrives and we're running around taking care of last minute stuff. Her staff get there and get set - Bill and Cha Cha - and were great from start to finish. Professional, courteous, just fantastic to work with. Very accomodating of my fiance's family and the food they brought, and helped them get situated as well. The spread was fantastic, and the food was great. From veggie sushi, to antipasto, to keeping us up to date on the number of compostable cups and forks remaining, the food and the service was simply outstanding. If you're planning an event, big or small, stop by Current and check them out. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and hope that Current gains more via our wedding and reception. They certainly deserve it. read more

I've only been extremely sick from their egg salad one time and it was a couple years ago. Otherwise I do enjoy the food & especially the sweets! Prices are much higher than they used to be and in the past year have frequented much less than we used too! Catering is creative and yummy! Pricing on catering is fair to middlin. read more

Over the years i have eaten at current many times, though never whole heartedly. They have an excellent selection of world oriented deli foods from vegetarian to Mexican to humus and around again to bottled sauces and sandwiches. Their prices are reasonable. They are everything you could possibly expect from a small town deli/caterer. Down to the last bite, less the wine (which you should get from the emporium anyway). The one big problem is that I have never had anything here that i was impressed with. Not one dish that summoned a new sensation to my tongue or at least made me pledge that i would try it again. Every flavor is either slightly bland or muddy and imperfect to be sure. Now this may be an example of lowest common denominator cooking, where by each dish is prepared to appeal to the widest possible audience. Who could blame them, there business model is successful and they have even kept a 3 starer like me reluctantly returning when dragged by friends. But to this borderline foodie it is disappointing that a place with such opportunity for great deli cuisine always leaves me regretful and forlorn for more cosmopolitan surround. read more

This place is the epitome of local, homemade food and is a must if you are visiting Yellow Springs! Whenever we are back home we make it a point to stop in for a meal. Some of our favorites are the carrot cake (literally the best we've EVER had!), homemade hummus, African chicken peanut soup (in the winter months), chicken salad and lemon bars! We also get the homemade Boursin cheese balls and caramels as gifts for our friends! They are always a hit! Another fun thing we love about this place is the food-themed weekends. It always a nice surprise to see what unique menu they've thought up! This place never disappoints! read more

My wife and I stopped in here after hiking at the Glen Helen Nature Preserve. I was starving, and after some debate, I decided to have one of their sandwiches. I went for salami with swiss on sourdough bread. My wife had a bowl of the Spanish lentil soup. My sandwich was HUGE, and everything was fresh and so delicious. A lot of places only give you a couple of paper thin slices of cheese and meat, but mine had a huge amount of salami and two thick slices of swiss cheese. It was almost hard to eat because of the size, but I managed. My wife enjoyed her soup, and I stole a few bites with (and without) her permission and it was really good, too. We'll definitely come back here the next time we're in Yellow Springs! read more

I am a really annoying customer due to all my food allergies. The girls behind the counter took time to read what was in every single item to make sure it was safe for me. Everything I get there is wonderful. even the "junk food" is healthy Strawberry cake is the best read more

This is just a realllly good deli. Oh, and they cater too. Think reaaallly good sammiches, bagels, deli-sides and desserts. They also have an interesting assortment of grocery products. The sammiches are pretty simple (deli meat, bread, hummus, veggies, etc) but for some reason, they taste way better than anything I could make at home. I find myself craving it fairly often. read more

I miss the sandwiches from Current. Their prepared foods are alright - I like the diversity it offers but I was never that into them. There are days when I'm hungry and I want a good sandwich and, inevitably, I miss Current. I miss how you can customize your sandwich for a reasonable price, how it's wrapped up nicely to go (perfect for an in-flight snack if you're on the way out of town), and how delicious it is. read more

When I'm in Yellow Springs I eat here almost every day. They have these amazing lunch boxes that I look forward to from Monday to Friday and they usually come with a vegetable and a dessert. On days where the lunch boxes are sold out, or there's no proper veg option, I swoon over their made to order sandwiches. When I'm not having lunch there, I enjoy their take home lasagna trays for an easy dinner on nights I don't feel like cooking but want something homemade and wholesome. The only thing I haven't really enjoyed are the cakes. I find that they are either too sweet or too dry or a combination of both. So although they look absolutely beautiful, I just haven't had any luck with them. The last time I tried a cake was in March, just before all the Covid rules changed our lives. SO... it's possible things have changed since then and that the cakes are different now. In the cold refrigerator section, I love to take home the sun-dried tomato spread and use it for homemade sandwiches (breakfast and lunch). It's so yummy and it's also an option you can get on your made to order sandwich at their deli. scrumptious!! read more

I've been going to Yellowsprings, Oh to visit DarkStar Books for 20 years now. Right next door was this great deli and I just tried it yesterday! Thanks to my wife. I just had a bagel with cream cheese and roast beef. It was great and it was REAL roast beef. Not some lunch meat. They also had some beverages you can't get just any where. Different bottled Tea's, There is a lot of stuff in this little space and I didn't even get a chance to really take it all in. They had a nice assortment of chocolates and I believe on my next visit I will have to try the chocolate covered orange peels. read more

When there's so many tasty places to eat in Yellow Springs, Current Cuisine stands out as a great place to grab a quick bite. I would consider this to be more of a deli/bakery than a restaurant, but I was really pleased that they were willing to heat up some of the deli items for us to eat for lunch. I wouldn't say it's the most amazing food I've ever eaten, but the price was right and it seemed to be made on site. With that said, the desserts were phenomenal! We specifically like that there is outdoor seating, so the pup was pleased with our choice. I only wish they had a water bowl outside for the dog (hint, hint). read more

My husband and I were in the mood for sandwiches and we were in the area. We found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. I try to eat vegan and when I was ordering, she noticed that I didn't order cheese or meat on my sandwich and then made sure to inform me that one of the items on my sandwich had a cream cheese base and recommended a substitution that went well with my sandwich. I appreciated that tons! The sandwiches were amazing and the service was great! We will be back! read more

I came in on the off-chance that Current Cuisine would have something to serve for dessert for my mom's birthday. I had ordered cupcakes from another bakery (in Fairborn), but the bakery had closed early, so I had NO dessert to serve that evening! I asked the very friendly women that worked there if they had any recommendations. The young woman checked and they had 3 cakes to choose from: coconut, pina colada and a salted caramel. Wow!! I took the salted caramel cake home, stopping off at Young's Dairy for some ice cream to go with it. Oh My Gosh!!!! The cake was awesome!! Beautifully, but simply decorated, buttery whipped frosting, with a rich, moist chocolate cake. My family loved it!! (Almost as much as my homemade lasagna...;-)) Truly, I will return next time I need a cake to wow my guests! read more

Great food and a wonderful staff. Not your usual deli. Oh, and their homemade brownies are to die for. I eat one every day.

This is a must stop on every trip through town. Their deli is always changing with weekly theme food. (Chinese new year, Mardi gras, tour of Italy, etc) If you are used to a chain store deli than the prices may seem high but you are looking at fresh, handmade, healthy, delicious food. They feature hot and cold items as well as 2 soups. On a popular theme week,especially during warm tourist weather, items go FAST! Pick up a flyer with upcoming themes so you can be sure to get there early for the items you really crave. The desserts are gorgeous and dangerous!! Too good to pick just one very easily. There is a small amount of available seating if you prefer eating there. The merchandise area itself is small and filled with international as well as some unique items. You can't do any major grocery shopping here but you may find something to add to your next get together. Staff has always been helpful and friendly and offer you samples to try deli items before you buy. My tip: be brave and sample something that looks completely out of your comfort zone. I have bought a number of items after tasting them that I had NO intention of purchasing before hand. read more

I can sum up current cuisine (which seems to only be enjoyed by tourists... try being a local and surviving off this garbage) with one solid experience. I had to go to work, a few doors down from CC, and decided to stop in and grab something to have for 'breakfast'. I picked some pasta salad.. it seemed pretty safe. I get it to work, try a bite, and OH MY GOD it's SOUR? I had my co-workers try it to see if maybe my tastes were off... no, they all assured me it was absolutely rotten. as in spoiled. as in bad, no good, do not serve, go directly to trash, rotten. (then they hated me for making them eat rotten pasta). I brought it back, and tried to quietly tell the woman (who I believe is the owner?) behind the counter that it had gone bad, because I work in food service - I didn't want to make a scene. She gave me a dirty look and said "oh, so you don't like it? ". I said "it's not a matter of taste, it's bad! like spoiled. possibly moldy inside. it's old!". She rolled her eyes and said "well what do you want me to do?" I couldn't help myself. I shouted out "I WANT YOU TO THROW AWAY THAT PAN OF ROTTING PASTA AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK" loud enough that every customer could hear. and can you believe she had the nerve to WEIGH the container that i brought back, so I ended up paying for the pasta I had everyone try. Pay to make my coworkers hate me. yeah. So, current. I hate you. ALOT. So does everyone else in town. You survive off the tourists, and the fact that there's not much you can grab quick and choke down in this town. read more

Prepared foods are always well made and delicious with tastings available on request (dishes are eclectically prepared at times). Desserts are to die for. My personal favorite is their chicken pot pie. I don't do the deli so I cannot comment on it. I can say that with a small store peak hours will involve more than a grab and go but it is well worth the wait. read more

"current cuisine is so goddamn delicious."

My family and I were in Yellow Springs for the day and decided to bypass HaHa Pizza in favor of Current Cuisine. mistake. Upon entering the deli no one said hello although there were at least 3 people standing behind the counter. My daughter ordered the vegetarian springroll (she is 5) and the woman behind the counter refused to acknowlege that she had addressed her at all. At first,I thought that she didn't hear her so I told her to speak up and ask again,maybe say excuse me to get her attention (I was ordering at the adjacent counter). My daughter asked again and absolutely no response! I then realized that she was being ignored intentionally and turned around to order for her and the woman behind the counter said "does she want a spring roll?" no smile or interaction that was friendly of any kind. Basically we were being served by a robot. Not cool. read more
