Urban Deli offers quality, casual bites in the heart of historic Federal Hill.

Urban Deli has become a beloved neighborhood stop for delicious yet convenient food options in Federal Hill. Since April 2016, the deli has provided a much-needed flavor to the South Baltimore neighborhood. Boasting fresh THB bagels, Pfefferkorn Coffee, Artisan Breads, and non-processed meats, Urban Deli quickly became a community staple. Since then, owner Laura McCormack has been busy serving her fresh baked eggs, to-die-for breakfast sandwiches, artisan paninis, build-your-own salads, house-made Soups, Smoothies, and decadent Desserts!

With growth, we have nestled into a larger location and looking to expand! Whether grabbing your morning coffee and bagel, enjoying a panini with a view of Cross Street, or catering an office luncheon, Urban Deli is the spot for quality casual eats, friendly service, and bringing your pup!

Meet the Owner: Laura McCormack

If you have visited Urban Deli, you have already met our bubbly, friendly, and beloved Laura. She is the face of Urban Deli and can make your day brighter with just a hello. Laura moved to Federal Hill 16 years ago and has been active in the community since. 

Why Urban Deli? Laura saw the need for good quality, 'real' local ingredients in the neighborhood and delivered with locally-made and always-fresh bagels, non-processed meats, bread with no preservatives, and a local coffee roaster by Pfefferkorn!

Her favorite part of Federal Hill and the South Baltimore area is the amazing people living in it. The friendly, polite, and supportive neighbors are why Laura loves operating the deli. 

GIVING BACK

A portion of Urban Deli's profit goes directly to the House of Ruth, Maryland. This charity helps victims of Domestic Abuse overcome their obstacles and live meaningful, healthy lives. Urban Deli fully believes in House of Ruth's mission and is proud to partner with the organization.
