Order the breakfast bagel with double egg, hashbrown, bacon, cheese. You will thank me later. I am loyal and hooked. I often come here sometimes two or three times a day for meals.

I wanted to do something different today, so I decided to try Caffe Barista & Deli for a Cod Fish Basket. Ordering online was very easy and quick, but my only problem is it did not give an option to choose French Fries. The online order form only shows Onion Rings. I requested fries as a substitute for the rings, and (thankfully), they were able to accommodate.The atmosphere of the place was pretty laid back and relaxed, with quite a line of people...which is a very good sign.Thanks to a friendly staff person behind the counter, I picked up my food and was on my way in no time flat. The Food: My Cod Fish Basket was just okay. Don't get me wrong, you do get a very good portion for the money. However, it did not have much of a taste to it. No seasoning, no taste, just fried. I will give this place credit for the fact the fish had a great crunch on the outside, and flaky inside. I just wish it had flavor. The other thing, were the fries. I'm a stickler about my French Fries and have an extremely hard time eating them if they are burnt or too overdone. Unfortunately, my fries were overdone, overly salted in some parts, and not salted on others. I ate a few but could not finish the rest. Lastly, the Cole Slaw and Tarter Sauce were packed in the same box as the hot fish, which made them both too hot to be eaten.Personally, I feel I should have tried the Philly Cheesesteak, or something with more flavor to it. I might give this restaurant another shot, (because giving local support is a good thing!). Yet, all I can say about it is, it's just "okay". If I try something else from here that's better/more flavorful, then I will update my review. Hopefully, you will have better luck than I did here.

Caffe Barista is an unexpected find in downtown Cincinnati. From the outside it just looks like a typical convenience store. The inside is kind of the same impression too. It has a deli counter in the back. This is what makes it not just another convenience store. It has a small menu, but there's some great items. It has a terrific hummus vegetable wrap. This is about $7 for a massive wrap. It comes with your choice of chips. The wrap is filled with fresh tasting vegetables. It's surprising coming from such a nondescript deli. The hummus tastes fresh too, not like it came from a tub. Check this out if you like independently owned delis. It gets its meats from Boar's Head. There's also good choices for vegetarians.

Closest thing we have in Cincinnati to a New York deli. Tons of people behind the counter to ensure for speedy service. All fresh ingredients and made to order. Daily specials are a great deal and always delicious.

Today I officially found my favorite pastrami sandwich in the city. I randomly stumbled upon this small deli and so glad I did. Very reasonable prices and the staff is amazing.

You can't beat a well made sammich. You simply can't. Sammiches have existed for as long as bread and cheese has been around and I fully respect a place that takes that craft and just does it well.I had the smoked chicken salad on a croissant and some fresh fries. The portion sizes made me feel like I was getting away with how affordable it all was. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. And they have fresh cookies too!Best lunch spot in the area.

Hidden Gem Alert!This place is absolutely amazing--everything you've heard is true! I can't believe how a simple turkey sandwich became the best deli experience I've ever had. Seriously, are you kidding me?! I can't wait to come back. This spot is a must visit!

I have been a customer of this place for about 8 years now. Every single thing I've ordered has been made with love. I mean that! I have always heard you can't have quality, convenience, and price but Cafe Barista Deli Café barista deli only has four stars so if you have time gives you all three. Beth (the owner) and her family are kind and have been a staple of fourth Street for so long. What a blessing!
