Abersoch Deli in Gwynedd

We love the Abersoch Deli and come here often when we are in Wales . We went yesterday and were so disappointed!! Our usual is an egg mayonnaise and bacon baguette and a tuna and sweetcorn baguette. They both had skimpy filling ! Half the amount in both than they usually have . Mine just tasted like I was eating a baguette on its own with a bit of lettuce in it . Very disappointing indeed .

I went in this afternoon and asked for a plain ham baguette. The woman (I think she was the manager) said “we can’t do that because it’s not how we operate”. I then replied “you did one for me last time”. She then said “it depends on how busy it is”. I was the only customer in the shop so I said “but I’m the only person in here”. The woman then got aggressive with me and said “would you like to come in here and do it yourself I have told you why I’m not arguing with you. These poor girls have been here since 08:30. What have you done today?”. (It was 14:30 at the time) I then replied “I’ve drove down here today I’m not arguing with you I’m just having a conversation”. She was then threatened me saying I wouldn’t be served again so I asked for my money back and left. This is a real shame because I have always like going to the Abersoch deli as the baguettes have always been lovely. I will not be going again- a plain ham baguette is not a big ask and I do not appreciate how the woman in there spoke to me.

We went here to grab lunch after always enjoying their food. We had baguettes and pasties, all very nice but the tuna baguette was advertised as tuna and sweetcorn and had barely any sweetcorn but a lot of red onion, the red onion wasn't stated on the label, I can't eat onion anymore so I was sat there picking it out, which was a bit annoying, next time I'll ask for one to be freshly made so I know what ingredients are included.

Nice choice of quality sandwiches, was surprised to see them ready made in the counter - had expected it to be a ‘choose your own options’ kind of place, nonetheless would definitely return, Brie and bacon baguette was beautiful! Husband had a pie which was well filled and also very tasty.

Abersoch deli is a bit of an institution and a must-do on all of our trips. The baguettes make a decent, filling lunch and have a variety of fillings - Brie and cranberry is my favourite. They also have a hot pastries counter - we love the sausage rolls and cheese and onion pasties. There isn’t much seating outside and it’s often a bit dwarfed by the queuing customers so we always take our lunch up to the anchors 2 mins away where there are benches and a sea view.

Good little butty shop this, wide selection of options plus pies etc. Little bit on the expensive side to be honest for how good they are, certainly had better for a fraction of the price. But if you are in the area and need a butty this is the place to go.

As many of my reviews note, I am a bit of a coffee snob & get frustrated when places get it wrong. I’m afraid the Abersoch Deli is another “fail” for coffee. 1 Americano with cold milk 1 cappuccino No milk thermometer used (if you know what you are doing you can get away with this). Milk in cappuccino way too hot, half the cup was froth, not foam though. Also milk wand wasn’t cleaned after use. Americano, no room for cold milk. It doesn’t cost the Earth to have one member of staff trained how to make coffee, they should then train everyone. Their espresso machine probably cost £5k, such a waste…. Coffee rant over (for today at least).

Great selection of pasties and sandwiches, v nice and tasty. The only thing that lets the place down is teenage staff eating behind the servery, I witnessed it again today and that deters me from going there. I suspect this contravenes most hygiene recommendations 🤦‍♂️

Good value baquettes. Had prawn which was stuffed full of prawns , best ever had. The bread was lovely Also we had the Brie one which was very good.

I’ve visiting the deli on and on for years. Every time I go and vow never to go back. Yes, the fillings are delicious but there’s so many things that need to change:- 1. I’ve requested brown bread so many times and they still do t do it. 2. The staff are young, inexperienced and not trained. 3. No sandwiches without salad. (If you do t like salad you’re screwed) 4. The staff won’t make a sandwich without salad or a chicken and bacon with guacamole on crusty cob)

Well we had a baguette with Turkey and cranberry’s. The baguette arrived, not buttered ( so pretty dry)…processed turkey and with a smidging of cranberry. We opted to share but no plates offered.. asked for a pot of Earl grey as advertised., no tea pots available so ended up with a small paper cup of tea. Disappointed with what we had and the cost.

Sat down outside for a quick coffee with the dog and then bought a baguette and hot sausage roll to take home. Baguette was ok but nothing special. Sausage roll was lovely.

We stayed just outside Abersoch last week and visited the Deli at the beginning of our holiday. Their sandwiches are some of the best we have has from a deli - freshly made and seasoned. We liked them so much so we went back every other day. Staff were also really lovely. Would 100% reocmmend!

Front of house member of staff chewing gum and mumbling, difficult to hear her, had to ask what was on offer breadwise. Very standard baguette, no offer of mayo or salt and pepper and charged almos £6 for dry baguette and crisps, then plonked on the top of the glass case and I had to ask if it was mine. To think I nearly went to Spar for a sandwich, really should have. Please & Thank you and a smile goes a long way. Really shouldn’t be serving customers if she was not up to it today or any day. Probably never go back again, even though local. 😏

I understand during covid times there will be longer queues in places you visit and shop, but I didn't understand why we queued for so long here? Once I got inside the counter was full of sandwiches already made up, and there were 6 staff behind the counter but only one of them was serving, one was making hot drinks to order and 3 young girls and a man were behind another counter!!? We queued for 40 minutes to get in and I fully understand that only 2 customers could go in at a time, so why not have 2 people serving to get the queue down more quickly? The customer service was dire, no smile no friendly small talk. Disappointing really, could be a great little place but bad customer service and standard sandwiches with standard fillings let it down. It must only do as well as it does because it has the monopoly for take away sandwiches in Abersoch.

What a great menu, so good to see lots of choice and freshly made too. Decent amount of filling, well worth the money! Friendly staff too.

We ordered baguettes for our lunch. Brie and cranberry and coronation chicken were delicious. Its a great place to pick up a picnic to take to the beach.

Nipped into the very quiet Deli & sandwich shop, looked appealing from outside. Asked the girl behind the counter if I could have a cheese & onion roll or sandwich, she replied 'No, but we've got cheese & onion pasties'. I was surprised that a...

Popped in for a takeaway lunch and got two ciabatta rolls which were both on lovely bread with a lot of filling. Very reasonably priced compared to a lot of places nearby :)

Whilst sat in Zinc having breakfast at 11am I was delighted to see a member of staff come from the rear of the deli, pick her nose and then eat it. I assume from the hygiene rating that she was unlikely to have washed her...

I went to Abersoch Deli this afternoon 29th July at about 12.30 to buy some baguettes. I asked politely if two could be made without mayonnaise or black pepper but apparently this was too much to ask. Before I had even left the shop the...

Having visited Abersoch for several years and the deli many times it was really disappointing to see the same old limited selection of food at yet again increased prices and to be served with a lack of enthusiasm, so disappointing.

We've visited here before and it's always good! This time the chicken, bacon and avocado baguette was great, so was the prawn one. The millionaire's squares (triangles?) were good too. Service with a smile.

Good coffee and sandwiches, home made bread. Very welcoming. Good choice of cakes etc including gluten free - delicios.

But just be warned, just because it says "we open at 0900" on the door does not necessarily mean that it does.

Visited today with 7 family members , tables outside dirty asked to be wiped.Took a while grabbed some serviettes to do myself.Despite 4 people behind counter and one person in shop.We all ordered separately .First order taken for two teas, second order taken and forgot...

I love coming here for lunch, a lovely variety of food and delicious coffee too. All the girls are very pleasant and friendly. Don't know how they coped over the New year because it was hectic in there! Keep doing your great work girls.

This place does the best baguettes in the world! Brilliant for taking to the beach. My personal fave is chicken and bacon - you have to try it!

Always our favourite place to pick up baguettes for the beach. Good choice of cakes and hot drinks too.

Bought our lunch here the choice of fillings are brilliant, nice veggie options. We all enjoyed our baguettes would definately return. Would recommend visiting if you fancy a posh picnic!

We always buy our sandwiches from here every time we come to Abersoch as there is a great choice and they’re always delicious.. The coffee’s lovely too!

We visited the Deli before hitting the beach for something for lunch. They had plenty of choice of freshly made baguettes, sausage rolls, pasties and homemade scotch eggs. They did a great coffee too. Reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Perfect place to sit on the pavement and watch the world go by. Great hot chocolate and delighted to find some wheat free cakes. Friendly staff

Visited here with my son and dogs after a winter walk along the beach. Staff were friendly and efficient. Dogs were offered water whilst we sat outside. Cake and coffee delicious and enjoyed whilst walking back along the beach.

Enjoyed a scotch egg and brownie which didn't even make it back to the car. Good range of fresh produce, served with a smile. Nice and clean

My friend and I got take away Prawn sandwiches which were yummy. We were tempted to get one of the many cakes on display but resisted temptation. They looked delicious! We went in October and it wasn't a great day but I'm sure it's a lovely place to sit and enjoy watching the world go by.

Good choice of fresh food great for a cofffee and a sandwich. take away or eat outside good value worth a vist

A deli' with open access on the high street and hundreds od hungry young people passing the door, it's just what every deli owner wants. OK the holiday season dosn't last all year but Abersoch is very poular and is usually busy. The young staff must get fed up buttering and filling thousands of baps and preparing sandwiches but the business looks to be very successful and was always busy each time we passed.

Great place in Abersoch for take away coffee if you don't want to sit in somewhere. Few tables outside too if you want to sit. Sandwiches and cakes look delicious too!

Excellent place to get sandwiches pies cakes ect for a picnic on the beech. All made fresh on the premises a great selection of flavours and a good selection of drinks are available

Dos veces he estado en el Deli en unos pocos días, la primera vez para el helado, pero el servicio era tan malo y lento que dio en espera y volví a la carretera para el helado.

A tomarnos una copa y una tarta. Dirigido a exprimir en un rollo de salchichas calientes. Rocky road bar tarta era para morirse!

Me encanta el pollo Club baguette mucho estoy dispuesto a abordar el desafío de visitar Abersoch, con sus "Deli no me importa el personal de atención al cliente". El sabor de la gente que dejan en la boca es la primera vez algo dispensada ha...

Fortunately we had that sunny week to enjoy Abersochs fine beaches.The deli does not believe in understuffing its rolls.Great quality, fast service, and atractive pricing make this a top recomendation for this busy resort.

TBH I've praised the Deli for years to friends and family but I've recently had some negative vibes from people who have been and its nothing to do with the quality of the food and all about the service and the staff .you defiantly get the impression that the customers are an inconvenience I visited yesterday the shop was quite with only 2 people in the Q in front.even though there were 5 members of staff "working" no one seem the slightest bit interested in serving after waiting for 5 min a customer came in the shop who was local/or known too one of the staff who promptly jumped up and asked what she would like even though she was behind me in the Q after expressing my feelings I left hungry

Whiled away an hour mid morning at one of the tables outside under canopy. Coffee pretty good, cakes looked good, as did pies, some homemade. Calling it a deli is stretching it a bit, but its a decent cafe. Staff were at best disinterested, I asked for a cloth to clean my own table and despite there being staff free that is what I did! No attempt to do it, and no interaction, happy or otherwise.Anyway it served its purpose of giving me the opportunity to read my I Pad while my wife emptied the Abersoch clothes shops!

This booth was manned by 4 young women who seemed more interested in viscous gossip, there egos and social life than to preform there role in this delicatessen. While 3 stood in the back ground and chatted about there arch enemies one serving a long line of customers while continuing the conversation with the 'high school' chatter. They treated the customers with contempt and disinterest. Amongst the rudest customer services I have seen in some time as everything was delivered with venom.

The icecream is amazing. The staff are very friendly, and the setting is relaxed. It's a great place to take the weight of your feet and sit and people watch.

Lovely, fresh produce on offer as well as good coffee. The pork pies and traybakes are delicious, as are the savoury snacks. However, the service is pretty poor - no nice hello or warmth expected from such a place. Must do better on that front. Good overall.

Delicious variety of sandwich on fresh baguettes and ciabbattas. Very filling and well made. Highly recommend for a quick bite to take away.

One of my fave places for a baguette. Very busy but worth the wait. Hot drinks and cakes too. Not the cheapest option but again well worth it!

Always good value fresh and tasty baguettes. Lots of choice aswell as coffees and cakes. Takeaway or tables outside the deli

Ok, so there were 5 staff working behind the counter, all doing various things and the woman in front of us was being served, there was a couple behind us. The woman being served obviously knew the staff, so she had a conversation with one of the staff. None of the other staff didn't think about serving while this conversation was going on. Eventually, after a few minutes we were served. A regular and large skinny latte and 2 bits of cake. The lattes were abruptly placed on the counter, nothing said, no eye contact. Then was very surprised when picked up the latte's, they were so light in weight. Also the cups were wet with spilled coffee. On inspection, the foam to liquid ratio was way too high. It was minimum 1/3 foam. It was strong not milky. Comparing to takeaway latte's from Costa, Starbucks, Nero, m&s, waitrose, Macdonalds, subway in fact any we have experienced, this was the worst tasting and least value for money.

Called in for a baguette and coffee for the family. Food was ok, little choice of types of bread which was surprising for somewhwer that only reason sells that sort of thing and the staff were not really very engaged with the customers actually.

Had a lovely cappuccino and Americano, greeted by a friendly American/ Canadian lady.Excellent assortment of confectionery, clean tidy Bistro Style.Small and friendly also dog friendly

Looking for a picnic with some special picnic type foods, the deli did not disappoint, a range of pies , rolls, and pastries, enough choice for our party on the beach.

Lovely food and coffee with seating in front of the Deli relaxed friendly staff, dog friendly outside with bowls of water on tap.

Friendly service, delicious fresh food made to order and what a choice. The fudge is so tempting and an absolute must for any sweet tooth

As it was sunny & there were tables & chairs outside we decided to stop for ice-cream, cake, tea & coffee. There was a good selection to choose from & the staff were friendly. We were able to take our time enjoying what we had purchased & watching the world go by.

Excellent for a quick lunch. Great range of sandwiches, good staff. Always tempted by the ice cream. Wish they had more tables.

Whenever we visit Abersoch we always call in at The Deli for lunch and a coffee as the sandwiches are delicious and huge!Great range of cakes too.

After 2 years we returned to Abersoch for the most amazing home-cooked bakery items. Our kids love the sausage rolls and I would have loved to have tried the scotch eggs but I am dieting. We returned after trying the maple and pecan slices in 2014 and they did not disappoint on our return. The coffee is also great and the value is excellent. A great place for lunch and snacks. Hopefully it won't be another 2 years!!!!

We had a late morning breakfast sat outside in the sun. The smoked salmon and full English were both tasty and the staff efficient and polite. Some tables have the feel you are almost sat on the pavement they are that close to people passing by, but this did not disturb my meal.Certainly worthy of a bite to eat here. I did not go inside mind.

Awesum sarnies grab a drink co,d or hot, delicious goodies and treats all freshly made and you can sit outside if you are lucky to grab one of the few tables. Great to eat on the beach large batons reasonably priced. Good coffee to takeaway

Had sandwiches, pies and cold drinks from this establishment on the 7th and 9th August. Excellent tasting food. Nice staff , clean surroundings but can be very busy. They only sell fresh, so when it's gone it's gone. Always worth the queuing though.

I just love their baguettes. Chicken coronation is an absolute favourite. Coffee is nice but not all of them know not to boil the milk. Kids baps is nice and soft. I'm here every visit in Abersoch.

I briefly visited this eatery to order a cheese and onion pastry to take away. The deli was nice and clean on the inside, and the staff seemed very friendly and helpful. The pastry itself was very good.

Every time we go to this great little town we eat here there food is all extra nice the staff allways happy and cheerful and so would I if that was my deli if I worked down there I'd have to park up and eat every day great healthy food well done all

Nice deli to have lunch freshly made to order with loads of fillings to choose from coffee tea & cold drinks available too

Always dive in here if I'm in the area. Good range of fresh baguettes and also hot pastry items. Coffee was very too. The chocolate maple slices are really tasty.

excellent takeaway good choice of sandwiches salads pasties etc good service helpful staff good value

We were walking past when we spotted the tempting Cornish pasties in the hot cabinet. Took them away to enjoy a little later. Very tasty. Glad we stopped by.

Ordered some lunch to take away to sit on the beach and eat. Being a vegan I was delighted to see a hummus and herd roasted mushroom baguette, so I ordered that and some crisps. My partner had a pastie, some crisps and a drink. Came to around 9 pounds. Really enjoyed our lunch so definitely worth a visit, seemed to be all local produce as well, with a large offering of deserts too. Although I noticed a lady tried to buy some fudge from the display to be told it's not for sale, only for display purposes and it's been there for a year. Maybe it's time to get rid of that fudge? Ok service. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would return if we needed lunch. Thanks.

Seriously this place is ace.yes its busy during the Summer, and yes the sandwiches are a little over priced, but you're in Abersoch!The quality of the food is really high so its worth paying.And honestly, there chocolate caramel shortbread are the best ive ever had, and i loves me some cake!!

A warm busy Monday afternoon in August. Deli had plenty of choice of baguettes, chiabatta and salad bowl fillings. I had hoped for a gluten free option but as not available the member of staff cheerfully offered a salad bowl alternative which I accepted.We sat at a small clean table at the front of the shop and watched the world go by. Not a bad lunch.

Various members of our large family group bought items for lunch here on multiple days. Very good quality baguettes and large sausage rolls. I have no doubt the other items were equally good but can only speak of those we tried.

bought two baguettes and two drinks for lunch - they were OK but a little over priced - like much of Abersoch!
