Carmela Deli in Horsham

Great delicious value. Surrounded by international ingredients. Love this place.

I came here with my friends they love it as much as I do we always come for lovely cakes and coffee the food is amazing 🤩

Good atmosphere, but stale pastries, definitely made the prior day. The coffee was really weak, not proper Italian coffee, and the canoli were the mass market variety from a pack, with their own fillings - definitely not the proper ricotta cheese canoli. Maybe I went on an off day, but had an overall pretty disappointing visit.

The best Italian hot chocolate in Sussex beautifully presented with a shot of whipped cream on the side and a flake on top of the cream Eat it with a spoon …..what more could One ask for ? 😍 heavenly

The food at Carmella Deli is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared. You can choose among many panini & focaccia options. (I can highly recommend the chicken & pesto focaccia…..absolutely delicious). The cake’s & pastries are some of the best I have eaten & rival those you get at high end restaurants. I love the service at Carmella Deli. Rosa & Marek are so friendly with the guests and always take care to offer the best quality & awesome service! I cannot recommend this Italian Deli highly enough. Bellissimo 🇮🇹👏🏻

Really lovely family run business, food is fresh, good quality. Great selection from pastries to lasagna. Always 2 coffees 🙃.Cannoli, impossible to buy just one.Staff is very friendly and always goes extra mile to help. Thank you

Absolutely hands down the best macaron I've ever had - the salted caramel one was out of this world! Always an amazing array of wonderful cakes to choose from - highly recommended.

Wonderful coffee. Great cakes and fantastic service. Perfect.

Food is brilliant. We regularly get paninis from here as well as cannoli etc. The staff are lovely and the ambience is great. Hot drinks are also great.

I went to Carmela deli, but they have a private event with traditional Italian food for some people. It amazing to see the Rossella and Marek provide this service if you requested. I tooked a sneaky photo and 100% will be using this for my hubby's bday.

Really glad to have found this place during a recent stroll around Horsham. Lovely food and welcoming hosts, so couldn't ask for much more than that

Great coffee. Delicious cakes. Shame there's no customer toilet.

Gorgeous! A little part of the Continent right here in town! Recommended 👍

Excellent cafe,best in Horsham,run by charming Sicilians ,(so watch your manners! )Seriously, great coffee and canoli.

Wow! Such a friendly welcome and the food was lovely. Such a treat to be served by a family who are obviously passionate about what they do. The food is amazing and coffee really good. I would recommend to all.

Great coffee and cake, and lovely atmosphere!

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful, try to get there at least once every couple of weeks for a meet up with friends and enjoy a great latte and bite to eat 😊🤗😊

I like this cafe, perfect place for a cup of coffee with some delicious dessert. Last time there were macarons, one of the best both in England and France, I’ve ever tried! Guys, you are the best in town :)

Love this place. Food always delicious and superb service. Very perceptive, intuitive service, so please tip generously if you can 😊

Wow As always - and yes I’ve been here before many times. This time I ‘only’ wanted a Panettone - a specific one - zabaione… my fave Italian flavour. Yes they had one out the back - which they promptly searched and found. Wonderful service as always. Incredible products. The question now is ‘can we keep it till Christmas’!!! HA HA

We had a wonderful welcome as we entered a restaurant transported from Italy. Authentic, excellent food served with genuine friendliness. An absolutely delightful and delicious experience.

Went here for a book launch. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely and clean

Wow!!! My friend and I enjoyed the most amazing feast! Beautiful selection of meat/cheese with lovely wine. Such an incredible authentic Italian experience. Looking forward to repeating it soon. ❤️

This is my 3rd Time coming to this cafe, but my partners first time. When ever I am in Horsham visiting family, I get excited to visit this little one of a kind cafe. Everything is delicious, the coffee, the sandwiches on beautifully toasted focaccia bread and especially the cakes and pastries. Everything is reasonably priced too, my latte only being £3 and it had a much nicer flavour than your standard coffee places. The atmosphere here is buzzy, and the perfect place for some people watching. My partner and I shared a cake and we went for a pistachio croissant AND WOW! My partner doesn’t even have a sweet and he was in love! We wanted to take some home but they had all sold out by the time we left. Carmela told us the cream is sent from Sicily and they are a special cake as they can’t make them all the time, you could really tell! It’s like nothing we have every tastes. We took some almond croissants and pistachio cannoli’s to go which we have just had for breakfast! They were truly delicious! I can’t wait to visit again!

Popped in the Carmela Deli on Saturday afternoon for a quick lunch with the family, the food was amazing and we were not disappointed as always. The place is for all ages. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone out and about in Horsham town centre looking for something to eat.

First time in Horsham just going for a casual walk and heard of how great this place is. Safe to say it did not disappoint. Bought stuff to takeaway - ham and cheese croissant, spicy pork arancini, focaccia and a lemon meringue tart. Everything was delicious and I would happily go back to Horsham just to visit this deli. People of Horsham, you are so lucky to have this local delightful establishment - I am jealous. The staff was also so friendly.

The BEST in Horsham!! Coffee is delicious and macaroons are out of this world ! Always so warm and welcoming, customer service is second to none. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough !

Honestly I can’t fault it. From the customer service to the food 5/5. So fresh, reasonably priced, beautiful attention to detail

Guys!! I must say this is the best place on the planet Amazing food and top class service also strongly recommend almond croissant is the best in the world!!! Grazie Mille🙏🙏

The BEST cannoli and coffee! The aranchi is outstanding. Absolutely charming little place and owners.

A beautiful Sicilian deli! Absolutely beautiful! The food was lovely, tasty and plentiful. Friendly polite service. Would definitely recommend and would most certainly return! My friend and I enjoyed it throughly!

Quite possibly the most delicious almond croissant I've ever eaten. Gorgeous deli, wonderful mouthwatering, seasonal array of choices. Friendly welcome, lovely staff, can not recommend highly enough

Excellent food and service. The food here is really amazing and the staff are brilliant. Excellent Italian options and they really looked after us on our visit. Would highly recommend!

This donut tasted so good, and the raspberries were so fresh. Best deli in Horsham!! #donutlovers Really recommend going to this deli 😍

Best deli in Horsham run by a lovely family always greeted with a smile ! The bakeries are just delicious. My go to when I need a little treat or a delicious lunch .

Very authentic Italian vibe. Great coffee and lovely food. The pistachio croissants are to die for. Treat yourself.

We had the macaroons, they were lovely 😍 We also got some pastry’s to go for our family to try. Will definitely be coming back soon!

The owner lady was so lovely and friendly. Lovely to see owners passionate about their business as she should be! The croissant in the window was so eye catching and fresh. I promise you they tasted as good as they look!

Standard food quality, way over priced - cannoli is more expensive than London price. 4 cannolis for £6.6 (take out).

The coffee is the best in Horsham, try a cannoli or pastry you won’t be disappointed. There is seating outside plus seating inside the cafe.

Food is beautiful ! Simple but powerfully effective , 100%coming back

Been a couple times now the food is always amazing (pastries especially). the woman who owns the deli is absolutely lovely. they also have lots of food shipped from italy taht you can buy in the cafe. honestly this deli is the only food i...

Lovely and friendly owners, delicious paninis, coffee and pastries. Authentic Italian cafe. Definitely coming back for Christmas panettone 😊

Best coffee in town by far. Lovely sweet treats selection, and friendly service. You can see why so many people are regulars 😊

Lovely lunch, had the Bomba panini, was delicious. Staff are all friendly and sweet too 👍

Love this local deli! Friendly service and delicious food. Great selection of panini sandwiches, made fresh to order. Tempting treats too!

Really lovely visit, super friendly staff and yummy almond croissant. They went above and beyond when we dropped it, and replaced it for us. Would definitely return, thank you :)

Lovely spot with great food and friendly service. Only wish they would expand as usually hard to get a table … a credit to their delicious food!

Visited here today, would have given more stars but I'm quite heavily pregnant and had to leave before finishing my drink to find a toilet elsewhere as there is not one inside. Also the paninis were toasted but the fillings were still cold. Cute little establishment and wouldn't normally leave a 'ok' review on a small business but I would have assumed a toilet would have been accessible.

Good quality food and friendly service.

Love this place, one of our favourite places in town. We recently brought my girlfriend's dad in while he was visiting (he is Sicilian) and he absolutely loved it and said how authentic the place and the food is. Fantastic lasagne, panini's and great coffee. The sweet treats are amazing too 😍🤤 definitely come here if you visit Horsham 🇮🇹

Proper Italian, massive atmosphere and great honest food

This is my new favourite place. The food is amazing and the coffee is the nicest I’ve ever had. The owners are friendly and I will be going back every week from now on

Lovely coffee and great service

Fantastic deli that is always on my must visit list when visiting Horsham. During my 6 day stay we visited 3 times. Once for breakfast, ciabatta bacon roll and a great coffee. Twice for lunch when we discovered the Italian sharing platter for two with...

Had a fab lunch here. Best panini we've had ever.Beautiful bread. The gelato & pastries are equally delicious all washed down with a very reasonably priced bottle of chilled Prosecco. Very warm & welcoming Italian family run this great little find. We headed here on...

Oof…this place was a gem of a find! Delicious almond and pistachio pastry; perfect crumbly, buttery pastry which paired well with the latte I ordered. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere inside the cafe was great. Highly recommend!

Beautiful pastries everyday! Try to get there as early as you can because things get sold out fast! The owners are such lovely people too~

We have a great experience at this friendly Italian deli in Horsham. We sat in the outdoor seating area for lunch and enjoyed Prosecco, a sharing platter and great coffee! Service was the best! Carmela Deli is family run and the team were friendly and...

OMG this deli does the BEST London Cheesecake EVER! Whenever I go into town I must stop for a coffee ( that’s also awesome ) and a London Cheesecake. You must try!

Had a great Panini for lunch. Really nice people. Great coffee great service. Looking forward to going back. Can’t wait to dry desert.

Found this marvellous cafe/deli on a trip to Horsham. Had a platter of meats with prosecco. Huge platter with selection of Italian meats, cheese and olives for 2 people plus 2 glasses of prosecco. Lovely family run place with huge selection of Italian food goods....

Best coffee in Horsham. Food is excellent- Friendly staff.

This authentic italian deli in the heart of Horsham is the perfect spot for coffee and a light bite. I am here most weekends since I've discovered it and the homemade paninis are excellent. They are freshly made and the owners are happy to add...

Awesome staff, very good quality of food and desserts 🍨 (especially pistachio bomb) Highly recommended 👌 😋 👍

Wonderful cafe, very friendly staff and the range of products is amazing. A must try are their paninis!

Great little deli, good pastries available as well as focaccia bread sandwiches

Beautiful shop 😍 amazing people ❤️ Food and sweets r absolutely fresh and delicious 😋 Highly recommended (especially pistachio bomb) Well done 👏

The spinach arancini was absolutely amazing. I've never had rice better cooked, it was still al dente, but the whole dish was rich, flavoursome and creamy. The fresh basil on top added another layer of exquisite flavour. Delicious. The quiche was something different from what I'm used to, rich in tomato and very tender. I was so satisfied that I took some arancini home! The pastries looked amazing too

Lovely place to stop for a light bite and a drink. Lovely panini and the pastries looked incredible, though we didn’t try them. Would definitely return. Useful to know there are no bathroom facilities here (there are some in Swan Walk shopping centre). Friendly service...

Going here really makes you feel like you are stepping into Italy. It's a lovely cosy little cafe and the décor is great. The people serving are very friendly and helpful and the pastries are delicious! I would definitely recommend going there for a coffee and a croissant!

Absolutely amazing. Went with my husband and as am I’m vegetarian and don’t eat cheese didn’t think there would me much for me to eat but had an amazing panini. The cakes were delicious and even took some home as well. Definitely going back. The...

Never been here before,all I eat was out of date. At least few days. Wouldn’t go there ever again

It’s difficult to go into Carmela just for coffee and leave without taking a dessert home! The coffee was hot and quick and the atmosphere was cosy and quaint, but as always; it’s rosella and marek that make the Deli so special. They’re always so...

Lovely Italian deli in the heart of Horsham. Staff are always so friendly! I had a delicious Italian hot chocolate. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Amazing coffee, always packed for breakfast and insane value for money on the baps!

Oh my goodness! You have to go here! I had the best hot choc...it was like chocolate custard in a mug!! The panini was huge and delicious and as for the service!!!! Well, I can't recommend this place enough and I'll definitely be returning!

A big thank you to everyone working at Carmela! Lovely atmosphere, amazing food always with a smile… As per the last few years I ordered some cannoli to celebrate my child’s birthday, absolutely amazing in taste and presentation. Grazie xxx

This beautiful authentic deli feels like it’s been plucked straight out of Italy. The food and drinks are delicious. The owners are so friendly and helpful. It’s a treat to visit.

This is my favourite place to go in Horsham for a coffee and a pastry! Everything I’ve tried is always exceptional, including their new Italian hot chocolates (which is a must try!). Also I highly recommend getting their meat platter board and sitting outside on...

We are lucky enough to have this amazing Italian deli in our home town so are regular visitors but today we tried the new Italian hot chocolate. Wow, what a treat! Another winner on the Carmela’s menu 😊

Tasty panini, delicious cakes and pastries, great Italian coffee and best of all - Rosella and Marek’s service is so friendly and attentive. They can’t do enough for you, 7 days a week, always with a beautiful smile on their faces. The deli is always...

The best Italian place in Horsham, always suggesting food, cakes and ever wines selection they have. Marek and Rossella are always giving you the best service in their Coffee place. Thanks for always making our day guys.

1st time in this amazing little deli Italian shop very nice vibe from the couple behind the counter. Amazing hot chocolate highly recommend. Cassie

I regularly call in for what has to be the best coffee in Town - We were recommended to try a traditional Italian hot chocolate drink/desert which was amazing! highly recommend it. Great café love the authenticity and service :)

We moved to the area a year ago but only visited carmela deli recently. Since visiting the first time in November both myself and husband have visited countless times either for a treat for ourselves or taking family and friends as well. The staff are...

Always great coffee and food, good atmosphere.

This is our go to in Horsham. Amazing coffee, delicious food and owned by a lovely couple - Rosella and Marek.

Had a sandwich and coffee. Everything about both was so good, truly delicious.

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly service. Great products to take home and the arancini was to die for. I will be back for cakes.

Unquestionably the best coffee to be had in Horsham and the surrounding area. Carmela and the Team never disappoint. Always a difficult decision chosing between the breakfast ciabattas, the wonderful pastries or the various Italian delicacies. Highly recommended

Owners were so helpful today with a special order. Very good customer service

Love this little cafe and deli'

We purchased fruit slices to take away. They were amazing. The sponge, fruit, cream and jelly were all divine. Absolutely first class and worth every penny.

2nd visit, both fab. Friendly, quick service of lovely fresh, crispy bread. A warm welcome when entering, limited seating inside

This is a place you will not easily forget. As a coffee enthusiast, standards are pretty high and it becomes difficult at times to find places to your liking. However, this one delivers over and above. The atmosphere is idyllic; if you close your eyes...

Any concerns we may have had that an egg and bacon panino each would not be enough to satisfy our hunger were quickly proven totally unfounded. And with a great cup each of strong Italian coffee we knew we'd remain alert for hours to come!...

Love this little Italian deli! The best place to eat in town. The place feels very cosy and the staff always makes you feel welcome, and always friendly. The food and drink selection is just AMAZING! From the best Babyccino in town to the best...

No visit to Horsham is quite complete without a visit to Carmela Deli to pick up some cannoli. Highly recommended.
