647 Princess St, Kingston, ON K7L 1E4, Canada
This quaint little restaurant with a real olden days feel, from the decor to the music, is a real gem here in Kingston. Serving wholesome salads, sandwiches, soups and more we have a large range of delightful dishes for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (supper). We have many tasty but healthy beverages and fruit juices along with our all time favorite, Brazilian Yerba Mate. Come dine in or phone in for take out (TOGO) ... Free WIFI is available.
I went here for the first time today with my partner for lunch. I've gone by 100 times and never thought to stop. Our server was fantastic and so friendly. We had the Soup of the day which was curried yam, served with fresh bread, and it was delicious. I ordered the Chipotle chicken sandwich with Coleslaw and it didn't disappoint. I can't remember the last time I had such a fresh, beautiful, delicious and inexpensive meal as I had today. I'll definitely be returning. The cherry on top was the beautiful decor, design and woodwork in the restaurant. What a gem!
I found The Yellow Deli on Google Maps as we were passing through. I had no idea that a religious group ran this place until I asked one of the servers why this place was different than the other cafes. That convo led me down the rabbit hole of reading more about the Twelve Tribes and what they do. Surely interesting. The sandwiches were delicious, and the folks managing this place were accommodating and kind. We loved the decor and the calm and peaceful vibe of the place. If you are passing by, this place is a must-visit.
A super cute deli with nice people, an amazingly chilled atmosphere and good food! We stopped by for lunch on our trip back to Toronto from Gananoque. I can't say good things about the decor. It was so unique and welcoming. I had a baby and had to use the baby changing tray. I promise you it will be the cutest tray you've ever used. I highly recommend this place.
We went for breakfast and it stood with our expectations. In Kingston, this is one of the best places for food. We really had a great time over there and enjoyed the food very much.
If you find yourself in Kingston, a visit to Yellow Deli is an absolute must! Their extraordinary, organic dishes crafted with love and fresh ingredients are truly amazing. The hospitality of the hosts will make you feel right at home, and the welcoming design adds to the charm of the experience. Plus, the prices are pleasantly affordable. I'm deeply grateful for their kindness and excellent service.
When I entered, I was delighted by the wonderful decor of this place. The wood paneling and home like atmosphere made me feel incredibly welcome. The organic black coffee was one of the best I've had had in a long time. As soon as I took a bite of the turkey gobbler, I fell in love. If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I would.
Great spot for a meal supper friendly staff and super fast. I would definitely recommend this spot to friends and family. I like the look and feel of this location. Thanks for the amazing service and the good food!! Will see you the next time I’m in the are..
One of my favourite places in Kingston. The food is simply amazing!! My children love it! Best vegan burger ever, delicious desserts, lovely staff and atmosphere.
The deli rose sandwich was delicious as well I had a cup of chili. Maybe the best cup of chili Ive had. Do try the mango matté as it was also very refreshing.
Had breakfast sandwich was good but I believe eggs were microwaved
Great friendly service and food! Amazing sandwiches, will be back again soon.
Just the coziest place, with amazing fresh food and WHAT A LOVELY STAFF! 100% highlight of the visit to Kingston! The prices are so good as well!
45 min but still waiting for 2 poached eggs. Good-bye Yellow Deli. Back to Ginas.
My favourite in Kingston for Food, Service with a smile, Awesome atmosphere
absolutely fantastic restaurant, super cute cozy. great for lunch, you ve got to try the deli lamb and the deli rose sandwich. housemade everything, super fresh, and def a cult. the server gave us some great stuff to look through about their religion. fun time, cool thing to research about afterwards. also we are gay and they were super nice to us so queer friendly cult sandwich shop. Dietary restrictions: gluten free and dairy free options. also vegetarian options Parking: one spot behind the building Kid-friendliness: kid menu
It s a cult
The most unique restaurant I ve been to. Food is all or mostly home grown. Rueben sandwich was the best I ve had!!! You have to try this place.
Everything about this place and food is amazing Have never had such a fresh and tasty food thanks alot Food
For sure a hidden gem in Kingston! I ve never dined here before due to all the talk of them being a cult, however, if that s what ensures they have the best and most loving tasting food? More to them! The food was served with a friendly smile and the staff were all so friendly and eager to chat! We had the veggie burger and the yellow deli sub( both vegetarian friendly!) As well as the soup of the day! The veggie burger is hands down the BEST burger I ve ever had (coming from a regular meat consumer), the sub was delicious as well! All full of fresh ingredients and put together to perfection! The soup of the day was curried yam soup, and honestly I could indulge in that daily if given the chance! It was so rich and felt like a warm hug in every sip. Honesty if you want delicious food with an old timey feeling atmosphere, this is the place!! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and very clean, the whole vibe feels like stepping into the cutest anime tavern without the alcohol! Will be returning in the near future for more delicious food!! Vegetarian options: Small menu but most items are vegetarian friendly, veggie burger is out of this world! Parking: Few parking spots behind the building
Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing vibe. 100% recommend
The twelve Tribes ! Awesome food do some back research on this cult tho .few great podcasts will explain it all guys
How lucky we were to discover this restaurant, everything is fresh, very good and the team is adorable!
the same Yellow Deli that is a part of a religious cult that prides themselves in in their racist beliefs? Yeah....... no thanks........
The atmosphere is amazing. They have never refused to service. The food is great. The prices are quite reasonable.
I had lunch there today with my sister. Food was top notch, service was great and the building and interior is beautiful. Will definitely be back again and would recommend it to all. Vegetarian options: Great veggie burger and amazing coleslaw
Wonderful lunch spot, great food, great price, great vibes
don t care who runs the place just had the best sandwich ever constructed
so cool and good! made me rethink some aspects of my life. for example, religion! lots to reflect on and lots mroe money to spend. thanks yellow deli! however, consider renaming your business to purple deli. i think its a funnier color.
Great place. The food is delicious!
A charming haven of wholesome delights. The staffs warm and friendly service adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.
Beautiful place with great service. Our chili bowls were hot and hit the spot. Great atmosphere and relaxing environment. Perfect place for lunch.
Super cute restaurant with retro decorations, fresh food and friendly staff
Absolutely fabulous! Lovely staff and delicious food! 11/10! Highly recommend!
The Yellow Deli is one of the best places to eat in Kingston. Staff are consistently friendly, engaging & attentive, without exception. Food is excellent; chili & Spinwich are among the best menu items. Whatever their spiritual path is, forget about. No attempt to preach or convert. They are good people.
This place is such a gem. It has the cutest vibe and the food and drinks are incredible. Everything tasted extremely fresh and you can tell that they use quality ingredients. I also could not believe how fairly priced it was. I cant wait to share this place with my friends and family.
We visited the store and bought cookies. The gentleman who ran the store was wonderful, very kind and helpful.
Friendly staff, amasing atmospher!
Parking: It s just on the left of the Deli Food
Food was great! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I ve had! I just couldn t get over the super dirty hands of our server. It looks like he washed his hands in mud before deciding to serve us. **In Reply to Yellow Deli s Comment** - my review above has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the server. Their hands were super dirty and they had dirt under their nails
These people are sick, they need help to break away from the Twelve Tribes cult, do not eat here, do not support them financially, let them rot out in the wilderness where they belong.
One of the best places to Dine in. Great food and Wonderful customer service. Food
Nothing Compares to The Yellow Deli- Old Time Charm Attention to detail on ALL levels Wonderful tasting healthy food options Everything well made & tasty Generous Portions Beautifully hand made everthing!!
My girlfriend and I always love to eat at the location in NC, so when we visited Niagara Falls we made a trip up to this location. Great food as always
Food was amazing! Servers were friendly and menu was original!
Our absolute Favourite restaurant in Kingston.... Come to think of it.. Its our absolute Favourite restaurant anywhere. We dont get to Kingston nearly as often as we would like to, but when we do, we always eat here. Fresh homemade food, made with care. Staffed by wonderful people. Cant wait to visit soon.
Great food! 4 stars for being run by a cult and they will try to recruit you
Stumbled upon this gem on a trip to Kingston. It s incredibly beautiful inside. The service is unmatched. The servers are all calm and kind. Extremely accommodating. The Reuben was hands down the best I ve ever had. I didn t realized it was run by a religious cult until afterwards, but will still 100% return in the future. Loved it!
Had an amazing experience here. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I lost something at the restaurant and the staff went above and beyond to find it. Everyone was very friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend The Yellow Deli!!!!
Service was awesome and the food was really good and fresh.
This place has my heart
Yellow Deli is the bomb. It s such a unique setting to have a meal in, it s like stepping back in time! Staff is nice and food is delicious. If it s a cult, sign me up.
Is this a cult
The Yellow Deli is a beautiful little restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere. It is run with a lot of heart and arrangements and the guest can feel that from start to finish. The Swiss would like to thank the Yellow Deli team from the bottom of their hearts and hope to see you again.
Groovy food. Place was a vibe. Will go back.
Love the carrot soup
Ive had alot of cult food before but this one takes the cake. Some of the best sandwiches in town. I would highly reccomend. Just dont drink the cool-aid
Very nice place with friendly staff
The beef Sandwich is so great!
The Food was amazing as well as their service. Enjoyed the Roast Chicken Sandwich, it was very delicious.
Delicious high quality food, and stunning atmosphere.
Exceptional food and atmosphere. Warm and personalized welcome in an enchanting setting. We will come back for sure
Mega poprostu Mega ,polecam Vegetarian options: Yes Kid-friendliness: Yes
this place may be run by a cult but somehow the employees look less dead inside than at any other fast food place also the best sandwich Ive ever eaten in my life
The food is fine but its run by Twelve Tribes, and I would prefer not to support their practices regarding child labour and race.
Worthy worthy worthy!! Both food quality and service are excellent Food
Great time here, got a mango smoothie and mmm...it was so good. I also had a custom sandwich which came with house-made chips and a pickle. I ate a lot! Sure do recommend this place, one of a kind. Plus, if you enjoy their products, then there is a bakery they run nearby that you can go to. Vegetarian options: Plenty of options for everyone.
Theres a lot to say about this place, focusing on the food, service and atmosphere only, I will say it was all fantastic and worth checking out. Be sure to learn about the history of this place also. Great food, great atmosphere and a gem of a spot!
Delicious spelt bread!
Soup is delicious! Warm atmosphere and very kind staff.
Its okay if you have nowhere to be. 45min for 4 people to order a soup or sandwich. Drink order wasnt taken right away and took 20min to get after that. Atmosphere and staff were great. I didnt think it was unreasonable to expect a soup to be served in 15min.
The food is always fresh & delicious. Fast & friendly customer service.
The atmosphere is calming and well appointed. The service is amazing and attentive. The food is awesome! Eat in or take out, you will not be disappointed. Vegetarian options: Lots of options or accomodations Parking: There is a small free parking lot in the back. There is a lot of paid street parking in the neighborhood. Kid-friendliness: The energy in this space is so calm that the kids pick up on it. The tastful decorations on the wall and seemingly hidden rooms are fun to explore. Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is street level with accessible tables as soon as you enter. Here is an accessible washroom as well.

Twelve Tribes... dangerous. No-go.
Very nice place, excellent food!
Good food, definitely your moneys worth!
Such a cozy little vintage cafe! Their signature Waffle? sublime!
Went here once before realizing it is owned by the Twelve Tribes. Would not recommend
Just amazing!
Probably the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life. So soft and tender and rich while still feeling really light.... I tried the lamb sandwich and the Spinwich and you really cant go wrong with either. I also had the carrot cake and honey bun which were pretty great (especially the cake). Vibes are also stellar. Just knocking it down a star bc of... [certain reasons]...
Cute little cafe. The place is clean, service is prompt and friendly, and the food is great!
It s own by a cult I do not recommend supporting them
I heard this is a cult
Very good sandwiches and good servers
Beautiful atmosphere and excellent food. Love this place. And prices are very reasonable. Will definitely become a returning customer.
Ive been here many times, best sandwiches around. The rueben never disappoints. Staff is always very friendly and great to deal with.
Food was amazing!
Called a holiday Monday asking if they were pet friendly. The put a table outside for us for our puppy. The staff was a joyful delight. Every bit of the food, garnish & drink was delicious. Best breakfast I have ever eaten out. Go there!
Great little spot if you are Celiac or gluten-free
What a great service and freshly made breakfast sandwich like I never had before. Always fresh products and tasty food. Very nice staff. Thank you.
Really tasty, nourishing food for great prices. Friendly service & nice environment; one of Kingston s best kept secrets!
Very pleasant, healthy food and lovely service
Really nice place. Almost look a hobbit house and people really friendly. Food was also good.
This place was such an amazing find. Great decor, great people and the food is . On a different level. Next time I am in Kingston I will have to come back here. It s hard to get food even close to this quality. I just wish I had a place like this near me in Mississauga. Home grown Ingredients, and the flavours are epic. If you come here, I ll bet you wish you d have found this place sooner.
Great little authentic restaurant with a what you see is what you get menu. Totally enjoyed the breakfast. Thx!
Most amazing food ever. The service is amazing and the food is so so so good. Honestly great place very rustic vibe love it. Would highly recommend this place for anyone and specially for a first date.
Very accommodating. Casual and eclectic menu.
The place was quaint, peaceful, relaxing and made tou feel like you were at home. Prices were decent. The portions were amazing The dishes alone were worth going back and planning on it Hour hostess was so friendly, polite and down to earth. Shes the face of the business The seats were comfortable and looking forward to going back, and I am out of town Vegetarian options: They had a veggie burger people rave about Parking: Free parking at the Common Sense bakery which is a nice touch
The most hospitable comforting experience the food was beyond excellent the service was top notch and friendly the music and atmosphere relaxing. I can t wait to return to Kingston it ll be my first stop.
Loved our lunch there. Everything is fresh and tasty. Very friendly staff. Good prices as well. Breakfast listed on the menu looked tasty as well. Would come by again! Parking: Quelques places disponibles sur Victoria st Kid-friendliness: Menu enfant offert
The welcome was great as well as the food. The interior of the restaurant is really pretty and the atmosphere is great. I will return on my next visit to Kingston.
This deli was fantastic. It was super quaint, the staff was friendly and the food was fresh and homemade. My mom has many food sensitivities and was able to order food safely. If and when we are back to Kingston, I will definately be returning to the Yellow Deli.
I love this restaurant. I wish I lived in Kingston so I could come back. If your in Kingston I highly recommend you visit.
Beautiful deli with very friendly personnel offering tasty food. Had the breakfast sandwich there and it was very delicious. Highly recommended!
Amazing food, great staff and atmosphere. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread Recommended dishes Sandwiches, Cranberry Cashew
Not one to write reviews but this place deserves to be exposed. Exposed for their incredibly charming staff, inexpensive but amazing eats, and don t even get me started on how authentically real the decor feels. I am from Toronto, where great food is my daily ritual. So I hope my review holds some weight. With such amazing energy you guys give off, certainly resonates with your customers, which is why everyone comes back. I ll be recommending this place to everyone I know coming to Kingston. Thank you for the amazing food and personal experience. 10/10
I stopped in at the yellow deli and was blown away by the quality and the exceptional service. The bread is heavenly fresh and the soaps are truly magical. So glad to have found this little gem in the heart of Kingston. I highly recommend that you stop in for a fresh tea if you are in the area!
Very good experience. We went at the restaurant for Thanksgiving and had the chance to eat a spécial menu for the occasion. The food was delicious and its hand made. It costs us 60$ for 2 people for a menu with entrance,main course, dessert and a cofee. Plus there was a live music band! I highly recommend this place (very nice decoration and nice staff).
Absolutely beautiful evening.
I think I just ate one of the best sandwiches I ever had!Props to the staff and host.While I wouldnt chill out here, its definitely a quaint spot to eat and drink k healthier
Best food and service!
The yellow deli is amazing! My family and I were having a rough time and decided to stop here for some lunch. The food was great and the atmosphere and staff is warm and inviting. Very unique decor. This place turned out day around! They even went out of their way to get me a freshly made ginger cookie from the bakery next door when they ran out! Unbelievable above and beyond service.
Been meaning to walk into the yellow deli for a while as I pass it on my commute every day. Glad I did. I love a good Reuben sandwich and the decor is cozy and nice. My toddler loved the big wood yellow tables. Dietary restrictions: They had homemade gluten-free bread that was a big hit on our custom made sandwich. Kid-friendliness: Lovely dining room that kept my toddler at the table.
The cutest Deli I ve been to ever! Lots of gluten free options and wonderful service. The ambience is beyond adorable
Fantastic vibes
Nice place and fantastic food
Great cozy little place with excellent food... Highly recommend!!
Beautiful cozy cafe. Very nice people, great food, bake their own bread.

It is an amazing place with great service. Servers are calm and accommodative. Excellent place for vegetarian or vegan meals as well as other brunch favourites. They beautifully sang Happy birthday for my friend on request.
food and ambience and service is sooo good!!!
Food is pretty good but uh yeah 12 tribes go google em and dont take up any offers these people give. Get your food and dip.
An absolutly delightful experience
I had a fantastic lamb burger, lots of flavour and sauce. The date squares were a great treat. The cranberry cashew salad was a hit with my wife, she raved about it. I will be back.
Hands down the heartiest meal in the city of Kingston! The aroma of freshly cooked food, light soothing music and wooden decor transport you to another world as soon as you step in. The staff is very accommodating, tons of vegan and vegetarian options. I wish they gave chips and pickes with the spinwich. They have a bakery on the side which is worth a visit. I will come back with more friends here!
best friends a person can ever have fun loving people who truly care
The ambience was awesome . Food was super good.
The chai tea is very delightful, I can definitely say it s best chai in town! Keep up the great work :)
Always looking for something new when out of town. This place didnt disappoint. The best Rueben sandwich ever. Also really enjoyed the lemon lime iced tea. Great service, great value and very unique dining area. A real gem.
Very cute place, the staff are nice and delicious food!
Delicious and large servings! Great spot!

Wonderful little operation that they Have going there. Great people. Great food. Great prices. 5 stars.
Every one should go. Best apple cider ever! The meals servings are big. We all had to bring some home. I had the lamb on a bun. Couldnt have been better. All their meats, veggies and breads are made by them. Go Kingston, you wont regret it. Its not just about the food, its friendly staff and great ambiance.
Love the environment and food are delicious
Super good sandwiches
Delicious food, charming atmosphere!
Delicious soup for a cool winter s day! Staff really help us out when we were in a bind to get some Christmas goodies! On Christmas Day, too! I ll be sure to return.
Beautiful place. Very tasty food. Very attentive service.
I m still unsure about whether or not it s a cult, but they have good soup. The Bowl of Sunshine is the best. Also, they make pretty awesome sandwiches.
The Yellow Deli is a great place for snack foods for that quick lunch afternoon dinner. Theres a great assortment and a variety of meats and cheeses on deliciously fresh baked bread. The staff are very friendly very courteous and also very helpful in finding what your needs are to give you a great customer experience. Also The Yellow Deli is very clean and tidy
When I entered the restaurant, I felt like I was in a medieval magic town. The decoration was so cool and the hand painted menu was really cute! Food was tasty and the staffs were super friendly! The lamb deli was definitely the best! The aroma of the lamb immediately boomed in my mouth at the first bite.
Very good food, healthy and fresh in a cosy and beautiful place!
Simply Delicious and Nutritious. Every time I go I m surprised that I don t make it here more often.
My wife and I arrived in Kingston and were looking for a quaint place to grab a wholesome bite and we found it here.This was a great find.
Friendly staff and great food, dont forget to check out their store which is accessible just around the corner in the same building.
The food is absolutely out of this world so tender definitely delicious and outstanding the best sandwich l had in a very long time recommend highly for everyone to try and you will have a taste that just melts in your mouth and wanting more lots of love and big hugs too
Food is delicious and atmosphere is very welcoming. Staff are nice and friendly.

My husband and I saw this intriguing place while visiting Kingston and stopped for lunch. The decor is whimsical and delightful, the place is clean, service was excellent, our server was lovely to talk with, and the food was super! We are so glad we found this place, thank you Yellow Deli for a wonderful experience!
Amazing people and food
THE BEST SANDWICHES!!! I am from toronto and was visiting my friends in Kingston I am so happy my friend took me to this deli it honestly has the best sandwiches Ive ever had, everything is fresh and delicious I went back 2 days in a row to try new sandwiches each time, Im blown away I also got the hot chai and that has become my favourite drink! I seriously wish there was a location near toronto because I have a feeling I wont find anything close to as good The atmosphere is so cozy and cute, and the staff is very helpful and friendly

Food was homemade & fresh! The staff were so pleasant & helpful. Great atmosphere & awesome quality food.
Nice a lot of good stories
Amazing!
Today I met a friend from out of town at the Yellow Deli for lunch. First time for both of us. Wow we were impressed. I had the cranberry cashew salad, carrot ginger soup, spelt raisin break, date square and the yerba mango mate. Everything was delicious, healthy, fresh. Im gluten intolerant so was thrilled I had so many choices. The staff were super friendly, professional and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. After lunch we visited their market next door and fell in love with gift cards, shampoo, lotions, tea etc. There is space to meet clients over tea. Two thumbs up for the Yellow Deli.
Best sandwiches ever
scary
I love this place. The food is outstanding. The staff is friendly. Everything is clean and designed with charm. Highly recommended.
Awesome place.. Great food.. Great People.. Great Company
