Hostile towards veganism

When I asked the server what was vegan on their menu, she told me 1 thing: the veggie burger. Period. No helpful suggestions as to other options or other menu items that could easily be made vegan. Instead, when my friend ordered the salmon burger, she gushed about how her husband helped catch the salmon they used there. I don’t know, maybe I’m just sensitive, but I felt a low level of hostility from her about veganism in general. Plus the cult vibe is STRONG.

Pros: Neat atmosphere., Plenty of parking.

Cons: I won’t be back.

i had been in yellow deli several times when i lived in Vista CA, i.e. north county San Diego CA. Saturdays you can instead attend their 3 acres in Vista CA weekly day long events, and/or their plenty twenty acres in VALLEY CENTER, CA. where they grow some of what they sell at yellow deli and farmers markets. interesting cultural experiences at their 3 acres and 20+ acres communes.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CULT

Research 'Twelve Tribes'. Cult full of child abuse, misogyny, emotional manipulation. Never go here and run them out of your city as fast as you can

Pros: Absolutely nothing

Cons: Run by a monsterous cult, Supports human rights violations, Supports child abuse

Too few options

When I asked, only two menu items were vegan, the Garden Burger and the Garden salad. I chose the salad and was pretty disappointed because I only got an uncreative mix of veggies (iirc iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and cucumber) with oil and vinegar. Not worth it as vegan, but you can eat there if someone else wants to go.

Pros: Very nice and knowledgeable service , Cool ambience

Cons: Too few options

Delicious garden burger with a side of of culty weirdness

I’ve been eating there since I was omni and everything had always been good, but their garden burger is easily the best veggie burger I’ve ever had. I dream about it. The atmosphere is cool and they’ve never tried to recruit me. 🤷‍♀️

Pros: Food is fresh and tasty, Reasonably priced, Interesting atmosphere

Cons: Busy, Usually a long wait, May end up being recruited into a cult

Wonderful

I love this place. There are some philosophies that are iffy but that goes with any belief I have heard of. There is a sandwich I get almost every time I go there called “the yoga vista special” it’s vegan! I will also enjoy the lentil soup when it is the soup of the day. Also any of the chairs can be made with almond milk !

Pros: Open late, Friendly, Taste yummy

Cons: Sometimes long wait

A Cult Classic

Walking into the Yellow Deli is quite the experience. The "Cult"ure is amazing and it truly feels like your on the olden days.
Anyways the staff is friendly and makes you feel apart of the family.
Sandwiches are good as well.
