The Yellow Deli

I popped in here with my girlfriend while on a day trip to Boulder. The general manager of this location is really nice. He talked with us about the restaurant’s architecture (they make a lot of things from reclaimed barn wood) and gave us two free drinks. We ended up ordering some chili, soup, and salad to have a little pre-hike snack before going up Flagstaff Mountain. The food was really good. It tasted super wholesome and fresh. The bread was great too! This place has an interesting vibe and feels like The Shire from Lord of the Rings. Great food, great staff, and they have wifi!

All time favorite cafe. Friendliest group of people working there. They are a community of people that live and work together called the twelve tribes. We were invited to their farm just 7 miles outside of Boulder for dinner and prayer and they taught us a fun dance. They are very inspiring people that live a simple life. Last week we enjoyed our 2 favorite items, the spinwich sandwich with gluten-free bread and a spelt waffle with pure maple syrup from their farm in Vermont. Many of their ingredients come from their sister communities around the world. After our meal the workers let us use their personal bikes to ride around the town and recommended us to ride the Boulder Creek Trail which was beautiful. They ride those bikes to work 7 miles everyday. Amazing people, amazing place, amazing food. Thank you to all of those at the Yellow Deli and in the Twelve Tribes community, Boulder for being so welcoming to my boyfriend Eric and I while we have been in the area, we are very grateful that places like this exist. We would recommend this place to everyone:)

We did not read any reviews before we decided to eat a late lunch here so we did not know what we were getting in to. We got a couple salads and a sandwich - all good! They tried to accommodate a couple requests with our orders, but it seemed like they were not used to that very often and threw them off a bit, but eventually we figured something out together. The breads were all so good (each salad came with bread as well as the bread the sandwich came with), but dense so be aware of that. Very affordable for the rest of the area around the Pearl Street Mall. We were able to be seated right away with no wait. The staff were super friendly and attentive. In fact, it felt like they had much more staff than a place of that size really needs, but it did make the service 10/10. The vibe felt like you stepped into a fantasy book or movie tavern with the painted wood decor. If you are looking for an affordable dining location different than the rest of what’s around the mall, check this place out for sure.

Had a hot apple cider drink. Delicious and didn't need to leave my kidney to pay for it!! So good!! My friends also loved their specials teas and told me that food is there and is affordable (not common in Boulder) I had a very nice conversation with the owner about how they work I'll be back to try their breakfast and sandwiches
