Folk Fest Series

Review: Yellow Deli (formerly Common Ground) 

Sure, I could make this simple dish at home, but Yellow Deli’s bean burrito was quick, satisfying, and came with refreshing side of watermelon. I also appreciated the whole wheat wrap amidst all the fluffy white buns at more popular and typical festival stalls. I wouldn’t pay festival prices in a regular cafe, knowing that a can of refried beans, jar of salsa, and pack of wraps is around the corner at the grocery store, but in a pinch, it was a much more filling choice than a footlong hot dog.

Last year, I had the chicken rancher wrap, which was also simple but satisfying. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the mysterious toasted crunchies atop the wrap were delightful, even if they were unidentifiable.

Yellow Deli will be opening in the fall, but for now, you can visit the new reincarnation of Common Ground at the Common Sense Market, located at 1490 des Meurons Street.
