Cult deli

There's an unusual café in the Blue Mountains that serves up tasty food with a side of religion.

While enjoying a weekend away, my husband and I stumbled upon the Yellow Deli, a unique café that feels like it's been carved within the trunk of a massive tree. The menu smacks of a healthy hippy diet with frothy green juices, dandelion tea and some sticky green health bars packed with all sorts of seeds that promises to promote a healthy bowel.

But there were some tasty items too. The apple cinnamon muffin was delightful and the steamed sandwiches (steamed bread??) come with a side of crisps and a big pickle, American style.

On their website I found they sought "living a life of peace, where love and care for others was supreme" and that "for the last 40 years our people have been working and raising our families together, building communities and tribes where love is the centre of our life".

The hippy moral behind the fibrous menu. I'm kind of surprised they didn't try to convert us to something as we paid our bill.
