Across the huge Sidney Lanier Bridge, tucked away on a side street at the edge of Brunswick Georgia, you’ll find a truly rare treat, The Yellow Deli and Bakery.
Surely, you’ve been to any number of cafes and sandwich shops. Forget ‘em! This one is special. Maybe more than special. A semi-large, shaded parking lot, gives you the effortlessly feeling that you have indeed reached the right spot to settle in for lunch or breakfast.
Politely rustic, with a beautiful patio, surrounded by flowers, the Yellow Deli and Bakery is as welcoming as your grandmother’s garden, and the food may be even better. Better keep that a secret.
Sit inside if you wish and enjoy the dark wood interior, watch the kitchen in action, and settle into a very comfortable booth.
But, as for me and my very close, intimate friend, we opted for the outside, the flowers, and the sweet sound of trickling water. But, wait a sec. Georgia in the Springtime? Bugs?
No worries. On every table there’s a small, lemon scented, plastic spray bottle to allay your fears and send gnats and such searching for another spot.
Am I ever going to get to the food? Well, yes, in due time. Don’t rush me!
The servers are polite and come to you with wonderful smiles and a solid knowledge of what’s on the menu. I’ll tell you right now, everything on the menu is wonderful, serving the best lunch I’ve tasted since lunching in Europe.
We ordered a corn beef sandwich on house made sourdough bread….after all, this is a bakery! Along with the beef, the sandwich has a wonderfully generous smear of delicious coleslaw.
As if that wasn’t enough, we ordered a delicious salad of greens, toasted pecans, blueberries, and bite sized white cheese, tossed with the house made vinaigrette. To top it off, the salad comes with heavy, dark raisin and nut bread from the Yellow bakery.
We shared the sandwich and salad and found it was more than enough for hungry,
gluttonous travelers.
What about drinks? Delicious coffee and teas, plus water.
Nor did we escape the Cream Cheese Pie, with a topping of sweet blueberry sauce.
I have barely scratched the wonders that are on the menu. For more ideas, opening hours and so forth, go to

Something else that puts this delightful spot on the map is that all the servers, bakers, and cooks live together in a large home down the way. It’s a Christian commune, living the Christian life. But, should you think these folks are from another planet, you’re wrong. Very nice people! They will not bring up religion unless you do. Their aim is to offer the best food to all their customers in the most polite ways.
I like nice people, who care for their customers and serve healthy food made from scratch! We found it right there in the Yellow Deli and Bakery.
Of course we’ll go back!
