Ready for a Sandwich That Actually Reminds You What Food Should Taste Like?

We're not fancy. We're not rushing you out the door. We're just a corner deli on Sheridan Road that takes its ingredients seriously — and your coffee order even more so.

We Opened Because the Neighborhood Deserved Better Lunch

Uptown Deli started with a simple frustration: why was the best thing within walking distance a gas station sandwich? So we built something different — a place where the bread is baked local, the meats are sourced with actual thought, and the coffee is worth waking up for.

Four years later, we're still here on North Sheridan Road, still making things from scratch, and still surprised when regulars tell us we're their favorite spot in the neighborhood. We don't take that lightly.

More Than a Deli.
More Than Coffee.

We're a little bit of everything — and that's exactly the point. Come for one thing, stay for the whole vibe.

Coffee That Wakes You Up

Local Chicago roasters, pulled fresh, poured with care. From your morning espresso to your afternoon pour-over — we take the simple stuff seriously.

Daily Fresh

Sandwiches Built Different

No assembly-line here. Every sandwich is built to order with house-sliced meats, local cheeses, and vegetables that actually taste like vegetables.

I've lived in Uptown for six years and this is the only place I bring visitors. People can't believe how good the sandwich is until they take a bite. Then they believe it.

The coffee alone is worth the detour off the Brown Line. But stay for the atmosphere — it's got that rare combination of energetic and cozy that most places never figure out.

We catered our office lunch here and everyone was asking where we found this place. The spread was incredible and they handled our huge order like it was no big deal.
