I found The Yellow Deli in Hamburg, NY on Christmas Day 2024 and I'm here again on Christmas Day 2025. My wife had died three months earlier and after visiting her grave at the cemetery in Hamburg I was looking for a coffee shop to relax around noon. The only place open was The Yellow Deli at 327 Buffalo Street and the second I walked in I knew I was in the right place. Being a deeply spiritual person I was intrigued by this line on the cover of their menu, "We serve the fruit of the Spirit. Why not ask?" So I did and I was beyond overwhelmed by the people who operate this amazing restaurant at cafe and by their Christian beliefs. I love their story and what they stand for. The Fresh Green Mate was to die for and it was so good I purchased a brick and use it nearly day. The Bristol Fillet with the wild Alaskan Sslmon was the best as were their soups, which I have every time I visit. It's a great restaurant, kitchen staff is superb and the people are top quality. I have and will continue to return. read more

Get out of the way subway, jersey Mike, etc. Amazed when stumbled on this amazing sandwich shop. The delicious smell strikes you walking in. Great service. Great atmosphere with a most unique origin. Breakfast seems limited selection but lunch is well rounded. Tried the beef/brisket sandwich with 2 cheeses on a homemade onion roll. Good size portion & reasonable price. Nice to sit & eat, too. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The staff was friendly and helpful. I was able to try their signature beverages, Yerba Mate which I personally liked all of them! Their vegetable soup is like what your mom used to make and their steamed sandwiches are unusual sounding, but the Reuben I had was very good! I loved the interior of the restaurant and especially liked watching the beautiful dumb waiter bringing food from the main floor to upstairs. Great Hamburg find read more

Firstly, it is impressively clean inside this establishment. Like, extraordinarily clean. The floors, the fixtures, everywhere you'd expect to see dust or evidence of cooking/eating, there is none. The building, outside and inside, is absolutely beautiful. We were asked if we'd been in before (we had not,) and we were offered samples of each of their signature cold drinks. Each one was delicious, it was hard to choose, but we decided on the hibiscus deli cooler and iced dandy blend. The sandwiches are made on fresh, store baked bread, and served warm. They were also delicious. The gentlemen/ staff we encountered were each very friendly, polite, and welcoming. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was warm and welcoming. Very limited menu for breakfast. May be better for lunch. Would try it.

What a sweet surprise walking up the stairs to this beautiful restaurant in Hamburg. We were met by a veteran staff and given a brief history of the yellow deli. We sampled some teas and a turkey stew. The food was very well prepared and delicious and even though we didn't have room for dessert, there was quite a selection. The yellow deli serves as best that they can, the freshest of ingredients and flavorful as well. A must go to in Hamburg NY, a place where you are greeted by comforts of home. read more

Such a unique spot! You feel like you are in a treehouse in a magical land LOL very cool inside. I stopped here with my Aunt for lunch one day. I ordered the Reuben, and very tasty. Good spot for a cozy soup and sandwich lunch! read more

Great food, amazing prices, beautiful building it's so cozy and cool, I just can't get past the fact it's owned by a cult they tried to convince me and my ex one time to think about the communal lifestyle lmao read more

I grew up in Southern California and went to the Yellow Deli in my hometown very frequently in my college years. And to my surprise, they opened this new location recently, and I was ecstatic! Wonderful team, very friendly, all staff was greeting me as they passed by. My waitress did a wonderful job, even let me sit at their trademark chair on the bar! Food was marvelous, reminded me of the same great taste from my younger years! Deli Rose is a great taste of great meats and fresh vegis on homemade bread and fresh chips. And their chili hit the spot on a cold winter day! Absolutely would be coming back more often! If you haven't seen this place before, highly recommend it! Especially during the spring/summer days when their patio is open! read more

The Yellow Deli - Salad Near Me - Hamburg, New York

Stumbled into this charming little place yesterday, Monday March 31, 2025. We loved it! What I found was a beautiful, well built structure, with an elevator for my Mom, who loved it. What I learned was that the Yellow Deli is in some of the coolest places throughout the world. All who work there are owners. Most of the food served is either raised, farmed or owned by this amazing Christian Group led Church. It is amazing and will always visit no matter where I am in the World. We tried their incredible iced teas, I got the Lemon Mint tea. I split a Reuben sandwich with a cup of chili. It made for a delicious lunch. Others in the group got a roast beef sandwich and the corporation and cheese soup which they loved. You will love this place and their menu. read more

The owners of the restaurant aside, I have to say this is a pretty wonderful little deli. The inside is made entirely of wood and feels like a fairy tale. Everything is really just so cute. All of their homemade drinks are really delicious. The food is also fantastic. I recommend the deli rose, village gobbler, and Buffalo blazer. All have been delicious. The muffins with a daily featured flavor are really tasty too. read more

Fresh, wholesome, and absolutely delicious! The ingredients taste real and vibrant -- you can tell everything is made with care. The veggie burger is hands-down the best I've ever had, and it's usually my go-to unless the soup of the day wins me over (which happens often). Don't even get me started on the chili -- hearty, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their fresh-baked bread. The muffins, the tea, everything here is consistently excellent. read more

Wait staff were very professional and food of good quality. Ambience and decor were very quaint also.

Honestly loved this little place. Looked so nice from the outside and the employees were all so nice and friendly. Superior service and the food was outstanding probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Our server explained everything about the menu, fresh ingredients, farm to table. I loved it. A lot of people who have said negative things about the place I don't think have ever been here. Really great spot. Food was outstanding and the people were super nice to me. read more

My girlfriend and I try to connect every 3-4 weeks for coffee or lunch. We tried the Yellow Deli for the first time, but certainly not the last. The restaurant has been beautifully remodeled with consummate attention to detail. Hand hewn posts and beams with wood furniture and hand-painted touches on the staircases envelops you in fine craftsmanship. The staff is so welcoming, never rushed. They make you feel like you're their only customer. Our sandwiches were very tasty; made with the freshest ingredients. Our drinks were unique combinations of teas, herbs and flavors. The prices were reasonable and I can't wait to return in the Spring for some Al fresco dining. Always happy to see a new business thrive!! read more

The food was amazing. I loved how the interior was decorated. I have never seen anything like this !!

Fun service! Ask for a flight of teas! Very convincing when you are not a tea drinker!! Great sandwiches!! Lovely ambience!

Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. Owners couldn't be more friendly or accommodating!!

I couldn't believe how wonderful this restaurant turned out to be. The architecture and finishes, warm wood burning fireplace, pulley system for food to the second floor....the fine details are just amazing. I did not need to use the bathroom but ventured inside just to check it out. Even the bathrooms were cute! The music fit the decor. I felt like I was in a fairly tale land...something you would find in Disney World. The food was delicious. The soup and freshy baked warm soft bread were terrific. The staff was exceptional, inviting and caring. This was one of the best restaurant experiences that I can remember. I don't write many reviews (especially good ones), but this amazing little gem earned it. read more

Food was okay - certainly not anything to rave about. Definitely got a vibe and did some research afterwards. Wish I had known before my visit to this place, but I will not support this type of establishment going forward. read more

Delicious fresh ingredients prepared in healthy ways make the food delicious and healing. The servers and others are very kind and respectful. The building is amazing and filled with handmade wood creations along with macrame creations. Wonderful soothing music plays in the background. It is truly a special place to visit. The price is right too. read more

We tried The Yellow Deli for the first time and it was amazing! It won't be the last time we come here. The bread was soft and delicious

Just enjoyed a delicious breakfast with my two neighbors. The food was very good (I had an egg and cheese sandwich) and the Hibiscus Deli Cooler was refreshing. This place is so unique with a wonderful atmosphere - such a beautiful and rustic decor! Our server was super sweet and friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

The interior of this place is absolutely stunning. The food was excellent and it was extremely affordable. This place will become one of our regular "go to" places. read more

I passed by this very inviting restaurant when I was recently in Hamburg. I made a point of stopping in on my next visit to Hamburg. As I said the building is clean, inviting and charming. I placed a to go order, asked for the sandwich condiments on the side. Unfortunately, when I got home and was ready to eat the sandwich, no condiments. So, I ended up with a turkey sandwich on a plain roll, very disappointing. The roll was fresh, and the turkey and cheese were good, but I did not get the whole "sandwich experience". I was curious about the company, and I looked into their back story as I noticed a few things while there that seemed off to me. Well, I was quite surprised to find out their affiliations with certain groups. I will not go into detail here, but I recommend you look into this restaurant back story when you can. After reading their history I decided I will not return. Maybe people will find me harsh, however I have a right to spend my money where I chose. read more
