I wish I could give more stars because this place is my favorite. I’d be in heaven if I could have their soups every day of my life! Sandwiches to here are so special and delicious! Also the staff make you feel so warm and welcome, shout out to Jess! Pictured is tomato Basil with ravioli.

Fantastic sandwiches, the best pizza in Cincinnati and some of the best homemade food!!!

Always good food and served up with a friendly smile. This place has become one of my lunchtime favorites. If you haven't try them, just stop in go up to the counter on the right and pick up your food on the left, it's that easy. ENJOY!!

A great sandwich place that is reasonably priced, especially for downtown cincy lunch prices. I had the jerk chicken on wheat and it was very good!

I don't review until after I've been to a place multiple times as any place can have a bad or exceptional day. I've been here over 10 times and it is very consistent- good variety of food, fair prices, and very nice people. Typically they are busy at lunch- I order through Ritual and skip the line (hint: food is ready earlier than app indicates)

I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to experience something good. The food, staff and mama's cooking will fill your soul.... I didn't take a picture, i couldn't put it down after my first bite, but that tomato basil ravioli soup ummm hmmm good on a cold day or with a sandwich. The staff was very helpful and suggested different things to try and after reading the menu I took with me. Please believe I'll stop back. Nothing like money well spent and service with meaning. Thank you mama and the ladies for all you do daily at Cafe Barista & Deli.

Great deli that also sells 6 packs of beer and bottles of wine. Serves great cold and hot sandwiches (including Boar's Head) and classic salads (some of which they also sell by the pound). Btw, they also have a pretty good all-day breakfast menu and serve pizzas. I had a delicious and filling chicken Philly cheesesteak. Several more food and beverage options and also some basic convenience store snacks and pantry items. There's a counter with stools plus a few tables and chairs if you choose to enjoy inside. Open 6 days a week (closed Sunday), usually until 6:00 pm.

Best Deli in Cincinnati ! Subs are delicious I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't been to go

Food is typically fresh and good but they messed up my order which resulted in them having to remake my food putting me behind of everyone else causing me to be late getting back to work. One mess up can cause an effect in someone’s life…..

Third update: Because her daughter contacted me and asked for reconsderation, I am updating my review to help small businesses 🙂. Although they have a good coffee, today they gave me mixed types of coffee bc they won't refill my desired coffee. Also, charge me for extra which wasn't the case for yesterday's order.

My favorite deli. You can order online ahead of time to skip the line, the sandwiches are always super fresh and affordable, and the staff are hard working people with hearts of gold. Don't expect them to warmly greet you and compliment your sweater when you walk in. They are there to make you the best damn deli sandwich in town and that's what they do!

Everything I’ve ever ordered here has been exceptionally delicious and the service and staff here are also very friendly

I found this jewel thanks to the J & J sisters. This place is excellent and my absolute favorite lunch spot in the area. The variety of the menu is second to none when you consider the quality of what you get no matter what you order. The staff is always pleasant and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

I've only been there 3 times but each time received a really negative attitude. I'm nothing special, but I won't be back

A wonderful little bodega-style deli with great sandwiches and a solid grocery selection! I always enjoy it when I get to stop in and have a chicken philly cheesesteak or a turkey club. Great staff, great food, and a nice corner of town to spend some time in!

Great homemade meals, great service, great prices and convenient location!

This is the cutest little coffee shop. Great to make your morning stop to start your day. Wonderful employees, great coffee and treats, calm, happy place to sit and chat with friends. Beautiful place.

I mean there is no Caffe here, just carafes of drip coffee, no barista, just the deli. Why the misleading name? Hardly anything to eat for breakfast. Just old muffins. Drip coffee was decent though.

Their chicken fingers and seasoned french fries are delicious. My order was ready when I arrived. Everyone working there is very friendly and helpful.

We used Caffe Barista & Deli for a catering order last weekend. They were so easy to work with. Very accommodating and great communication. They did 30 box lunches to each individuals specifications, delivered on time exactly as discussed, delicious and a great price. Will definitely use them again!
