Adorable coffee shop you must stop by for coffee or a bite to eat! Options from coffee and breakfast food to lunch and alcohol options! There's a little shop in there too so if you want to bring food home like tuna salad this is a great place! read more

The breakfast burrito was yummy and the outdoor seating was fun. A great place to have Sunday breakfast with friends.

Great hoagie, chips, pickle and wine. Not quite under $10 more like $25 but with the wine was expected. Great staff and food is great. Wine dry but served cold. Will be back. read more

Daylily - Italian hoagie, chips and a pickle. - Delis Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Dalily is a cute deli and mini market in mount lookout. We came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and got the chicken salad sandwich and the turkey avocado club. The chicken salad was my favorite of the two. We really liked the outdoor patio on a nice spring day but the WiFi was pretty spotty and definitely didn't work outside. read more

Went there today with a friend for lunch. We both got a daily special of a Chicago beef sandwich. They were $14.00 each. Inquired if that included chips or a pickle or something to justify the price of the sandwich. No, sides are a la carte. Bag of chips for each of us and an iced tea with 20% tip they suggest on the screen they flash at you end up paying $49.52. They do not bring food to you, they yell your name and you have to go to counter to pick up. We were 4 feet from counter, and they had more people behind counter than those eating at 1:30 pm on a Tuesday. No cutlery offered, it is a very sloppy sandwich, supposed to use fingers I guess. My companion ran out of tea halfway through meal, and requested a refill. Mind you, it was a 12 oz glass halfway full of ice costing $3.25 each. He said no must buy another. Also at time we arrived, they were out of Cubans, broccoli rabe sandwiches and Ruebens. If you have a hankering for bodega overpriced laundry detergent and some Japanese kewpie mayo with a side of No Service. By all means come here. Otherwise move on. Willing to pay the price for proper service, but won't go back here. read more

I've been in this adorable cafe a few times and have always had a pleasant experience. The baristas are so friendly. This is what a neighborhood is all about. read more

This was the best Ruben sandwich I have ever had in my entire life!! Extremely tender and not one piece of gristle in the entire sandwich. Absolutely the best corned beef I've ever eaten. It was so good, I ordered it again the next day. When I am in this area again, I will definitely be returning to Daylily. read more

I come here at least once a week! Yummy coffee and sandwiches. Love the Italian hero, turkey BLT and the pasta salad is BOMB. The bodega part has unique wines and canned craft beers along with household items if you need a quick stop. Very kind and welcoming staff! An East End gem read more

Very cool local coffee shop/ bodega in a great walkable neighborhood. Employees are friendly and spot serves a solid menu of breakfast and lunch items. We tried the chopped cheese (great!), Italian, cubano (amazing) and hotdog. Can't wait to go back and try out breakfast and salads next read more

We waited 20 minutes for a bagel. A bagel. And they were dead slow. Employees did not care. The employee looked like a pirate and couldn't manage to toast a bagel within 20 minutes. read more

Get yourself a chopped cheese, get yourself a little can of sardines, get yourself a big beer and just go to town.

2 stars for the effort in making it feel like the revised hybrid style bodegas that had been popping up in New York over the last 15 years or so, sans cats. You walk in and the smells are there but that's where the similarities end. Chopped cheese with banana peppers and cheese wiz. Hajji's would never. Ordered a simple bagel and they got it wrong. Won't get into how disappointing the rabe sandwich was. For a true rabe sandwich, visit BKLYN Larder on Flatbush Avenue. Editing as I forgot that the lentil and mushroom soup was flavored by the same peppers in the chopped cheese and the milk that they sold us was best by today. It begs the question of how long it takes them to rotate through stock. read more

Bodega-style with welcoming atmosphere. Great coffee with great food. Fast and friendly service. Plenty of veg/vegan options.

The folks who work at daylily are the kindest, most professional staff anyone could hope for. Today I sat working in the front window seating. Everyone that came through was treated with such respect. Every concern or request was managed with kindness and attention to detail. Jose is lucky to have these employees running his business. They are gems. read more

Cute place, eating space limited...I ordered the Chopped Sandwich 7/10 & it was really small compared to the price. My fiancé ordered a tuna sandwich & rated it a 5/10. If you're looking to fill up this is not your place read more

Daylily - Tuna Sandwich with American Cheese - Delis Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

See all

I'm not one to write a bad review on a small business. I love supporting the local shops in Columbia-Tusculum and Daylily is a beautiful addition to the community. Inside is cute and unique, and the food is good. However, the service is awful. I've really wanted to love this place but I cannot wait 25+ mins for a cold wrap. I can watch 8 people behind the counter get absolutely nothing out to customers on a normal day. It's unbelievable how slow it is, no urgency from staff at all. Sad to say but one of the few restaurants that has lost my business because of service alone. read more

Great spot to try several bodega-like specialties. Many varieties of unique items. Very small if you have a bigger party. Have gone back several times. read more

This place is fairly new to the area. Been there a few times for their egg and chicken salad. That was decent, and at the time, with a decent price. The coffee is very good, also. Only improvement I can suggest, besides lowering crazy high prices on some of their stuff, is they should ALL act a bit more friendly. The only person who EVER smiles at a customer is the one taking your money. The workers behind the counter seem to be lost in a cave. They almost never look out past the counter, let alone acknowledge a customer, unless you lean in and ask them for help. Even then, they just glare at you, expressionless. No smile, barely a spoken word, sort of Zombie-like. That can ruin a person's appetite, just the opposite of what is wanted, IF they plan to stay in business. read more

- ordered the broccoli sandwich, which I had in the past and knew was good. My sister and I each took a bite and had to immediately spit it out. It tasted like a cleaning chemical or something extremely expired and was inedible. I told an employee this - I didn't want anyone else to order it and get sick. The employee went and talked to the manager, came back and said sorry and took the sandwich. When I asked the employee if we could be refunded for the sandwich, I was told no, they couldn't do that. Very disappointing, especially because the manager was present in the store and did/said nothing. -on a separate occasion, I bought a cheese product from their fridge, later noticed it was over a month expired. When I went back to return the product, I noticed that all of that product (over 10 items) were over a month expired too. I have never written a yelp review, positive or negative, but now multiple experiences with expired/inedible food daylily I feel like this could be a safety concern. read more

Best soups and sandwiches, and the grocery is so convenient! The staff is super friendly too!

Nice atmosphere. Food was good and drinks were prepared perfectly. Service was good. Would definitely go again.

Great food in a beautiful old building, with a long tin ceiling, and a "backyard " to eat and relax in. The bodega carries such essentials as Dr Bronner's soap, and Japanese mayonnaise. And lots of wine. read more

It is a bodega, a deli and a coffee shop. It is straight out of New York and it is a tremendous addition to the neighborhood. If it is a great sandwich you desire, fine pastry or top shelf coffee, they have it covered. The delightful staff is a bonus as is the lovely setting in the back. Whether you sit on the porch or trackside at the tables under the shade of trees, it is a pleasant experience. Now if you really want to do yourself a favor have a bagel (multiple choices) with cream cheese (multiple flavors). A bodega style bagel is something you will not soon forget. And to top things off, there is just a great vibe here. read more

I work down the street and this place is a lifesaver! Great coffee and delicious food. My fav is the yardbird sandwich and the honey bear latte. The staff is always so friendly too! A must try if you're in the neighborhood:) read more

Daylily was a delightful surprise! It offered healthy food choices and everything my friend & I ordered was excellent. It was a cozy little place that included a small grocery/produce area and an outside patio. Will definitely be back! read more

Great Staff, food is a feast for the tastebuds. Never had anything I did not like. Lots of unique options for food and drink. The buffalo wrap special I had today was hands down the best I every had! So much better than the run of the mill standard buffalo wrap you find every other restaurant. read more

I bought a small chocolate chip cookie that cost over 3.00!! I didn't want to make a scene so I purchased it. If it was an amazing cookie I could have been happy... but I could have bought a few more at Kroger's for the same price and been just as happy. read more

What happened to the egg on a roll... soft scramble has now turned into a fried egg? or am I crazy?

Lovely place to get coffee light breakfast or a sandwich. Wonderful outside patio and outdoor seating all around. There is indoor as well. Best of two of the city favorites together Salazar and Deeper Roots. We have been multiple times. Doesn't disappoint!!! read more

I find myself on the cusp of visiting this place almost every other day now. Not quite a daily Daylily, but close... Where do I start? José has captured the spirit of the Bodega and sprinkled it with delightful experiences that satisfy and satiate you...it's multi dimensional; replete with coffee bar, deli, diner, and convenience store all in one. Secrets and surprises await you at every turn, so keep your eyes peeled! Japanese Mayo stares at the Landry detergent while you peruse the wine selection and twist to grab a can of Spanish calamari...don't forget the dental floss...and grab a fresh tomato as you wait for them to fill a container of their amazing pasta salad...(con teardrop peppers...sigh). Take it to go, or stay! Back patio is inviting... Daylily is charming, alluring, evocative...a delicious epicurean adventure, and such a welcome addition to the neighborhood/Columbia Tusculum. Chef's kiss and Salud! read more

Great outside area, food was delicious, service was amazing workers were nice. Their coffee is also delicious

I love that we have a local bodega! This is such a cool spot for breakfast or lunch. The coffee drinks are delicious and there's a fun selection of beers, cheeses, and other stuff. Great patio out back! read more

I keep trying to make this place work. The food is decent but my heavens, they are as slow as molasses. The last visit they had 5 people working behind the counter and I waited 30 minutes for a breakfast burrito - and they were not crowded at all! read more

Been a few times. Never seen an employee smile. Asking to have my sandwich made "we'll done" seemed to be incomprehensible to the cashier. Asking to have my croissant warmed up was also a daunting task to them. Coffee is meh, prices are whoah. read more

We had hi hopes.... Showed up Saturday 10 minutes before 6 for a first time visit after driving an hour to get here to be told the kitchen was closed. All websites and social media showed open until 7. We were told yes, we should change the times it has been that way for a while and we were offered the opportunity to purchase a pastry from the morning! We were also told they were open until 7, however the kitchen closes at 6. I guess if you want food you better get there by 5:30 or sometime earlier than 10 until 6.... Keep in mind this is takeout only. read more

Upon entering the wonderful aromas will pull you in for a long stay. Sandwiches are fantastic (I had the chopped cheese) and coffees are great. Atmosphere couldn't be better and they have an excellent outdoor seating area with lots of tables. Highly recommend! read more

What a great place in Columbus Tusculum, the sandwiches are delicious, the bodega concept is great. Pleasant back porch area for outdoor eating. read more

Really nice cafe. They have gluten free bread and I had a BLT the bacon is amazing! Really friendly staff as well.

This has become my new favorite deli in Cincinnati. I have yet to find a sandwich that doesn't blow me away. Do not skip on the Italian Hero and Chicken Salad! The service is also always so nice and helpful. The Salazar restaurant group never disappoints, and I'm so happy for this little addition! read more

Wisconsin melt was the best sandwich I ever had. It's a daily special and not on the permanent menu. I can't stop thinking about it..
