went here because I saw a video talking about how it's run by the twelve tribes which if you do know, is a doomsday cult anyways I got a cinnamon roll that was kind of burnt which made me sad because cinnamon rolls are my favorite pastry the workers were very nice, very rustic cartoonish interior, my friend asked the cashier how they will manage to go through with their doomsday rituals (sacrificing a thousand male v!rg!ns) and he acted very awkwardly in response and said "it will be difficult" which made me feel awkward so I won't go back probably read more

If a place like this is ever going to thrive, Boulder it is! We went on a Monday morning around 9am and were the only customers. Prior to entering, we heard it may be run by a cult, however, we did not look into it as it was quite literally the only place on all of Pearl street open for breakfast other than Snooze which we were banned from as my sister as meeting friends there. We were a bit skeptical the whole dining process but the food and drinks were honestly delicious. We got the iced mint mocha which was so delicious, green tea, yogurt parfait, breakfast sandwich, and spinwich. All of the ingredients were fresh, well prepared, and tasty. Once we left, we read about the background history and some of the values of the twelve tribes associated with the Yellow Deii. Had we known the tribe and beliefs it is linked to, we likely would not have eaten here. read more

This is an exceptionally warm and welcoming place both in interior design, friendly and efficient service and tasty food, the one that you would like to visit again with a friend. Music deserves special praise. It blends harmoniously with the rest and creates festive atmosphere. Every tiny detail is thoroughly thought over and strengthen each other. The food is delicious, made with love, the attention we received here is also noteworthy. Prices are reasonable and we left with our bellies full. We will be back! read more

What a gem of a find! We were searching for a lunch spot near our hotel and stumbled upon The Yellow Deli. This place is so cozy, with handmade-looking furniture that gives it a warm, unique vibe. I ordered a cup of chili, the Country Ranch sandwich, and a mango mate drink. The chili might just be one of the best I've ever had, served with a slice of their artisan bread that was absolutely delicious. The sandwich was delightfully messy--in the best way possible! Maybe I was starving, or maybe the food is just that good, but I'm already excited to come back next time I'm in the area. The waitress was super friendly, and the mango mate was a refreshing, tasty treat. Highly recommend this charming spot! read more

A truly unique dining experience as you step into a hobbit house experience with all the warmth and welcome you could ask for. Staff is courteous, friendly and genuine. Natural materials surround you, warn to softness from the many hours of community and hospitality. Fun music, good food and drink. A feast for the eyes, ears and soul. Certainly a great regular hangout as well as a visitor's highlight. read more

The food was okay - we saw the reviews and were really excited to have some epic sandwiches so maybe it just fell short of expectations. Just a sandwich with bagged potato chips and a decent pickle...not homemade decent just normal sandwich place decent. Buffalo chicken had lots of blue cheese - which is great if you like blue cheese, but it didn't say that was in the sandwich on the menu, and the ones that ordered it weren't blue cheese fans. I love all kinds of Reuben's, but this one was light on meat and drowned in creamy white sauce and mustard. Our server was friendly, other staff just seemed to be trying to get through the day. Ambiance was pleasant. Just not a place I'd go out of my way to go to - so many better options in the area. read more

Would not have supported this business had I known Twelve Tribes (an alleged cult that you can find materials about online) operates this. We stumbled upon this as we were looking for desserts after dinner. It was the only place still open (it's open 24/7 except for Saturday). It has the log cabin vibe with religious inclining messages on the walls. Staff was very friendly. The carrot cake was alright: thick sweet icing tasted weird, not a fan read more

The Yerba Mate was so delicious & refreshing. The decor is fun and whimsical. It takes you to another place and the sandwiches are so delectable and fresh. I don't have any problems with gluten, but I like their gluten-free bread. read more

The food was good but the service was very disappointing. The workers kept on giving me and my family dirty looks, the food took longer than usual and one of the workers made a snide comment to my sister that was very upsetting and rude. Please do better and be more accepting read more

Excellent Reuben. Freshly made, took a little longer than I expected because I saw them putting it together carefully. All the ingredients seemed very fresh, good bread (I went with pumpernickel) and ample quantity of everything. I thought the corned beef was particularly good. Recommended. read more

Awesome food and friendly people! The Reuben sandwich is the best ever and I highly recommend! A bowl of soup with freshly baked bread is always great and you can never go wrong with that! Also their muffins are so fresh and delicious! They serve it warm with salted butter and it's awesome! Super cute decor and also great selection of cafe drinks. Highly recommend this awesome somewhat hidden restaurant on Pearl Street! read more

After hiking for the day, we were looking for a good sandwich in the area. We just happened to pass the Yellow Deli and the inside decor immediately grabbed our interest. Full of woodwork and murals and macramé and so much more. The mistral music reminded me of the Renaissance time and the friendly attentive staff took the cozy ambience to another level. The hand drawn menu with fun cartoons and messages made it all even harder to decide what I wanted to eat. All fresh-made bread ( and may I say the freshest bread I ever ate) with Boars Head meats or Alaskan-caught salmon made our entire experience here a five star PLUS. The chili was delicious although coming from Texas I really wanted more kick to it. They served it with a small cheese and jalapeño bread which I believe just melted in our mouths. My husbands Deli Rose sandwich - a menu item that has remained constant for 45 years- was basted with a spicy tomato spread. He enjoyed it but thought the spread was a little heavy. My Salmon sandwich was unforgettable. Absolutely delicious. And the sides were either chips or a small veggie cup that was really refreshing. We finished with a lemony cream cheese pie drizzled with honey and topped with fresh strawberries that was exactly what I wanted to finish the meal. I didn't leave a crumb. The iced tea was fresh brewed which we had to ask for another refill. I truly enjoyed Yellow Deli and am so surprised this restaurant hasn't popped up in Austin TX. Most restaurants are east coast. It was the perfect INDOORS after the great OUTDOORS. read more

Wandering aimlessly around Pearl Street Mall on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I suddenly had one of those cravings...for Yellow Deli's carrot cake! Mission accomplished a few minutes later, when I climbed into one of their cozy booths and minutes later the stars were in alignment. Enjoyed some of their tasty apple juice, and loved their amazing carrot cake, which exceeded even my lofty expectations. Added benefit was the exceptional service by Matthew, who went out of his way to explain some lesser-known items on the menu in such a professional and positive way. So awesome to have someone so positive and knowledgeable about his work environment. read more

What an incredible place! I love everything about it. The style, the people, the music and most of all, the food. The only place I'll eat when I'm in the area. Can't recommend it enough- it's a sanctuary from the chaotic world. Really happy I found it. read more

While wandering Pearl Street Mall, I decided I needed a quick snack and stopped here for a smoothie. The place was SO cute. I wish I would have had time to stay and enjoy the ambiance.

The Yellow Deli is a great place to catch up with friends over a matte or have a quick bite. It's got a relaxing ambiance, a diverse clientele, friendly staff, & wonderful food.

I had heard about Yellow Deli from some other friends that have been to the other locations so I had to try it out. Service was really great and wait staff was so nice. I only had time for some dessert so I opted for the carrot cake. The cake was moist and a good dense-ness. The cream cheese frosting wasn't too sweet and was a good ratio to the cake. read more
