Christies Deli in Moray

Visited for a surprise birthday party. Buffet savouries and sweets were divine and plentiful. Amazingly good staff and a fantastic visit.

My friend and I ordered baked potatoes- I had chicken Mayo and cheese ( a tiny sprinkling was all that was in it) and my friend had prawn ! I emptied the pot of coleslaw over my potato…. Well it turned out it was off! After telling the waitress she then got me a chicken n bacon sandwich ( my friend wouldn’t eat anything else) …. I couldn’t believe it when the bread was stale!!!!!! I was too embarrassed to say anything about it - not that anyone asked!!!!! We ( wrongly) paid up and got out of there!!!!! DISAPPOINTED!!!!

I attended the deli for what I assumed was a very easy order, A iced latte. Firstly the length of time to make one coffee was excessive . Staff were all over the place and I was asked 3 times by three different staff members what cake I ordered where they were in the the same 3 meter space. The woman made the coffee in the back and yet again I was asked twice about my syrup. She hands over a cup with lukewarm “ice latte” . Firstly there was no milk it was the colour of espresso. But so watery ! They also seemed to miss out the main part , ice ? Could see particles dissolving in this drink. Quite clearly a sachet or something similar . Very poor

Having been told about another food place which was closed, we were at a loss as to where to eat, we didn't want to go to ASDA and we were told about the deli. We arrived just before the lunch rush and my aunt, nanna and I all had paninis (they had soup and panini). As a vegetarian, it is always good to have mozzarella, pesto and tomato as a panini which I love. So many places are just cheese and tomato. It was nice to have something I love and there were plenty of options for alternative milk. When we finished our dinner, the place was quite busy with people. Will go here again.

Nothing special,first coffee was look warm,second cup lovely and hot but seemed to be missing the coffee it was so weak.Staff not the friendliest,my two year old grandaugher kept saying hello every time they walked past the table,only to be ignored.Staff were very young,so perhaps a bit of customer service training wont go amiss.will no be going back for a long time.

Went for breakfast and ordered avocado toast with poached eggs and tomatoes . When meal arrived I was given two very overcooked fried eggs with a few halved cherry tomatoes on side and a scraping of avocado . When I asked about poached eggs I was told by the member of staff that they couldn’t make poached eggs because they were using the pan to make soup. Very poor quality and service.

Met friends for coffee etc. It was busy. Nice scone and coffee. I believe the soup was nice. We popped onto gift shop and found it quite pricey.. some of the items were a bit samey and some of the items were more expensive than other gift shops. Used to love the garden centre but it caters more for the younger people in the large play area and disappointed in selection of plants.

We popped in for a breakfast over the festive period when we were out and about, we both said it was one of the best breakfasts we had had in a while. The place is very clean and the staff attentive.

On my receipt it has this establishment as "The Deli, 4 Southfield Drive, Elgin". Pleasant staff, a good layout, clean toilets and a fine ambience. Our soup of the day, with oatcake, was enjoyable at under £4 each. The thing that stuck in my memory of the place, was ordering a glass of milk, expecting for £1.80, a large glass, not a tiny one. You can buy over 2 litres of milk for less than that! Shocking! Just because of that, I won't be returning to The Deli.

My son was in doing his theory test. I popped in for a coffee and bacon roll. The bacon roll was delicious... cooked to perfection. No fat. TOp marks. This was followed by a latte and chocolate and orange scone.... then my son had a panini. The Deli had a lovely atmosphere and it was very comfortable on the leather sofas. The staff were very friendly and helpful and happy. Out assistant was Janna. It's a cafe I would highly recommend and this is now going to be somewhere I make a regular visit to. Value for money, a great selection in the menu. Be back soon.

Came here after being recommended it by a friend. Waitress really friendly, but ordered a scone and was served a shop bought one, served with a small tub of margarine!! Not even proper butter and no jam either. Cheeky when they are set out in cake domes making them look like home made ones. Grudge going out for a fly cup and paying over the odds for something I could have had at home

Nice place to meet for business or pleasure, take away is also great! I can recommend the paninis 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Went in for some chicken broth for lunch as not been in since change of owners. Definitely left feeling disappointed! A complete lack of customer service, made to feel completely unwelcome. What happened to service with a smile? The soup was really bland also & tasteless and I didn’t finish it for that reason

We used to love this place. Always a friendly welcome, great food and decent quantities. Not so now. The quantities are paltry and embarrassing. If you're going to put coleslaw on a plate with salad, a teaspoon is not enough. This place used to be great, but now it's very low quality and you don't get a welcome. Won't be returning which is sad because we've been going for years.

Never been disappointed.. Food is fresh and home bakes are amazing. The coffee is probably the best in Elgin and with parking outside it makes it the perfect place to meet friends and enjoy a relaxed catch up. Well worth a visit.

Christies Deli has been taken over by new owners and is now The Deli. The breakfast was good, service was excellent. They also serve a new type of coffee....it is excellent. They new owners have also refreshed the decor.....very nice.

I often go to Christies for lunch when I am working in the area. I have been consistently impressed with their sandwiches (wraps, paninis etc) which are made to order and always very tasty. They have LOADS of filling choices. The portions are generous and the coffee is delicious. They do good soup and filled roll deals and a wide range of cakes and scones, including gluten free. I tend to takeaway but the cafe is really nice to sit in. There is free wifi and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Having visited this Deli on a few different occasions I feel it only right to write a review. On each visit we have been left to feel very unwelcome by poor service and rude staff. Even with our guests today making comment on this when we visited for breakfast. Food average, deli clean but the staff really do let it down massively. Service most definitely without a smile.

Christies Deli was always a busy, good quality food deli but since the new owners have taken over (it is now called ‘The Deli’) it has gone downhill massively. Went in and didn’t get greeted by the waiter, just got a point to a table where we sat and got our menus. Ordered and specified no butter but seen the waitress put butter on so went up to the counter and said that we specified no butter so she rudely acknowledged it and went to take off the filling and put it on a fresh bit of bread even though the filling was all covered in butter. Unhelpful and unfriendly staff, basic and expensive. Also, they started packing up their sandwich fillings and cleaning the fridge which is a unusual, weird thing to do for a Saturday lunch! The previous owners were always rushed off their feet but still managed to produce great food. New owners were standing doing nothing (very quiet on a Saturday lunch) and still didn’t manage to produce a decent lunch. Bring back the old owners!

My colleague and I went out for lunch on a Friday, told to take a seat and they’d be right over with a menu. 10 minutes later we had to stand up to get a menu ourselves. Another 10 minutes later the table who came in after us gets their order taken and we are left to wait further - at which point we stood up to place an order to go. When I finally got my flat white the coffee was very disappointing and more like an instant white coffee I’d have made at work than a barista made flat white! The only saving grace was the delicious salted caramel muffin. Won’t be rushing back.

This is a lovely little place that offers great food and very friendly service. I had not realised that it was so close until my partner suggested it and I will definitely be back again.

Christie's Deli is a gem of a place in Elgin. The sandwiches are amazing and there are so many possible combinations - the staff are so helpful and friendly and are happy to make suggestions for what you might like! Their fruit scones are also...

Out having a walk to cemetery when we decided to go to Christie's deli and we were really disappointed with...

After visiting Elgin Cathedral Trip Advisor steered us to this little off the main road place. We had a delicious...

Always a perfect lunch from the hosts at Christies deli . Panini and coffee are brill and I always get...

Ahora ha sido aquí un par de veces para comer mientras trabajan y siempre fue para la opción saludable en un intento de ser bueno! Sus ensaladas son fabulosas, masas de elección y bolsas de sabor. Que siempre está lleno, que narra su propia historia,...

Quiero para el brunch con mi hermana. Ambos tuvimos bebidas calientes y vendas. Absolutamente DELICIOSA, los ingredientes eran frescos y sabrosos. Sin duda volveremos

Went in to get a takeaway on my way to visit family who live along the street and will definitely be back. I always thought this place looked small from the outside but I was wrong, what a lovely setting inside. I have noticed it does look busy anytime I've passed so I went in quite early and I'm glad I did as I think the lunchtime rush was just starting. Plenty selection of fillings for sandwiches, panini's, wraps, rolls, baked potatoes etc and a selection of cakes too. I got a panini which was a good size with plenty filling and tasted great and my sister got a baked potato which was a good size also with plenty cheese and tuna and a lovely side salad. She couldn't even finish it all. I couldn't help but pick up a couple cakes for us too they looked far too tempting and I'm glad I did! The chocolate brownie has got to be a favourite I know I'll be popping for more sometime soon. Glad we finally decided to try this place the prices were good, it's exactly the type of place we've been wanting to find and it's basically right on the doorstep.

Lovely quality food, quantities are big, price is good. The sandwiches are seriously filled. The cakes are heavenly. Very friendly staff. Always clean and tidy. We love coming here

First time here, visiting family and stopped off for a quick bite to eat. Good food, great service. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

very impressive toasties, lovely fillings and plenty of it and everything was nice and hot, service was goods

Great small cafe/deli for sit in or take away. Wide range of sandwich/panini/cakes etc and if your early great soups. The food is freshly made, very tasty and it's nice to see such well filled sandwiches as well. Good range of tables and chairs and comfy seating for relaxing in. A regular stop for relaxed lunches and takeaway sandwiches for work. Plenty of parking.

Been in quite a few times, usually for takeaway sandwiches at lunchtime. Always busy, but still my order is always taken and made quickly. High quality, fresh ingredients and friendly staff keep us going back.

We went here on the morning of our wedding all the males from the wedding met up for breakfast, while the women got pampered.The food and the service was excellent, the staff were very attentive and considering to of the guests were 20 minutes late all the food managed to arrive at the same time.A great start to a wedding day Thank you.

I have been now a few times to this small cafe. Everytime I have gone, the food has been excellent and the quality good. But unfortunately the service is rather slow, even when the cafe is quite it can take around 10minutes for a panni to come. When it's busy it can be even longer, anything from 20 to 40minutes. However, when the food does come, it does not disappoint. There pannis are extremely tasty and they have a lovely dressing over there salads. They have lots of freshly cooked bakes, from brownies to carrot muffins. Also they are quite flexible with the menu's, showing no issues when you request one or more of the items to be removed from your dish.Overall , I would definitely recommend this place, especially if want a lunch a chat with some friends or family, but if you are looking for a quick bite, it would be better to have the take away option that they offer, as siting in would not be advised.

Went in to get fly cup but decided to stay for lunch instead..glad we did as we had nice fresh sandwich..plenty of choice on the menu and would cater for all needs..we were eyeing up the cupcakes but we was full after our freshly made lunch..def recommend we will go back..it was busy and we were able to grab a snack bar stools..staff were accomading and checked on us where we were sitting..

We've been to Christies on several occasions and I can honestly say they make some of the best sandwiches/baguettes/paninis I've ever tasted!When at their busiest it can be a bit chaotic, but the staff clearly work hard and manage to keep their cool whilst still providing a polite service.Many visits to Christies await in the future!

Just fantastic - have been visiting weekly now for a while and it's a great place . The staff are lovely and the food is superb . Don't change a thing !!!!!

Visited mid morning for breakfast. Deli not busy, waited ONE hour for meals. Tables came in after us received their food before us. My meal was fried egg, potato scone, beans & mushrooms how you could mange to take an hour to cook is a mystery.

Grabbed lunch with friends here today and it was perfect. Food is fresh and delicious. Everyone was very satisfied with thier da witches and salads. The dressing on the salad is amazing!! All their "filler" combos look great wish I could have tried them all!

I do love a sandwich from here. Always have he same. Chicken mayo, cheese and onion. Always tastes lovely and fresh. Recommend!!

Recommended by a friend so went for afternoon cuppa. Bit out of the way but worth the trip from the town centre. The cakes are to die for, I had Chocolate Orange and my friend had White Chocolate and Strawberry and WOW. Will definitely be back. Good selection on the menu for lunches and snacks and reasonably priced.

I eat here about once a month, it's a fantastic eaterie and take away. I lie the paninis and the salads. They also do the best sausage and egg rolls if you have a hangover! The place can be mega busy come lunch time so best making it an early or late lunch to miss the queue. Christies has a really nice ambience, I wish it was open late at night for drinks.The staff are lovely too, which really makes the visit.Highly recommend trying this place out

good food and other things to do after filling up, a lovely fresh selection of homemade products always on offer

Could never fault the food! Absolutely delicious! From a sandwich to a baked potato! Always fresh. Only thing to work on would be the customer service- smile!! But bar that - no faults!!

Only been here 3 times, But each time the food has been Excellent.The staff are pleasant ad the place is always clean.you get a wide range of different sandwiches, paninis, baguettes etc and have lovely little homemade cakes.Would Highly*** Recommend

This is our third visit to the cafe and I can't recommend it enough. The food is lovely and fresh. Very good prices for the serving you get. Very welcoming and child friendly. The staff are cheery and quick to take your order and serve your food. Will definitely be going back.

First impression...Staff welcome was missing...as the cafe was virtually empty would have expected a smiling face for customers at the very least. That said the service was quick.Asked specifically for a pot of tea but got a mug which was fine but an explanation as to why no pot would have been nice. The plate for the tea bag was stained and needed a bleach.Food was ok, pretty standard fare..plates rather huge for tiny portion of salad and sandwich, but tasty enough.We left feeling rather disappointed as this used to be a friendly wee place and the food of a good standard.We also left smelling strongly of frying and that is never good. Won't be rushing back sadly.

Bought vegan produce for friends. Delicious ice-cream,tablet, pies,scones too many things to mention!

Was taken there for lunch today and can honestly say I won't be back. Which is a sad thing to say as the food was quite good. Our order was taken, and eventually we were given our Hot "well luke warm" Chocolate and waited with anticipation for our bowls of soup and a panini to share. The panini came out first and we were informed that the soup was on it's way, well after at least another 5 minutes it did arrive.....COLD!!! Now bearing in mind this was lunch prime time not exactly what you would expect. So I gave it back and was told it would be sorted....by this time we had finisehd our not so hot chocolate and panini. The soup eventually arrived and was it hot....no it wasn't mildly tepid maybe but certainly not hot. All in all this took 40 minutes, when your on a lunch hour not really what you would want. I would state that it wasn't busy, maybe another half dozen in, so I dread to think what kind of service and time you would have to wait if it was busy!!!!

Been to Elgin lots of times but only just found this place, gutted! It's a fantastic place, food is amazing and the staff are lovely. Was very busy which shows how popular it Is. Will be back :-)

My favorite place for a fresh salad and a tasty wrap! This is a regular spot for our 'ladies who lunch' but don't want a huge meal or the price that goes with it. Its soup and sandwich deal is a favorite, and all the sandwich combos we've tried ranged from very good to excellent. Want a quick, TASTY, affordable lunch? This is it!

Christies deli is a lovely place to go for lunch. I go to the deli most weekends as a treat for a takeaway and the food is always too notch. Whether you go for some homely soup, a hearty sandwich with their tasty brown GI bread or a baked potato... The quality never fails. Cannot say out of this whole year going to the deli each weekend I cannot fault the food at all. So whether you are driving through Elgin and are looking for a quick bite to eat or whether you just fancy a treat lunch out pop into the deli as it won't disappoint. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, great choice of fillings and great food. Very busy at lunchtime, advisable to book. Fresh ingredients, caters to all tastes.

I love coming here for an occasional treat. The sandwiches are fresh and plentiful and taste out of this world. Their is a usually quite a wait but totally worth it! They make it to order so that's the price you pay. Only ever had takeaway but will sit in for lunch very soon.

This is a great place once you know it is there as it is quite hidden amongst new houses. The menu is very modern and has loads of choices of fillings for paninis or whatever you like. The drinks selection has new brands of drinks more than just the usual coke etc. The food was very good and the range of cakes was good too and not too bad priced. Well worth a visit.

Whilst the food is good and the coffee is ok - the atmosphere is more like a wine bar than a coffee shop - the floor is tiled and very noisy - the service is very slow and the food average - quite pricey for what you get

Love this place! The food is delicious, fresh and decent priced! Cannot fault the food or service whatsoever. Decor is pretty quirky and different.

Come from moray and we are always looking for somewhere for a snack when in the town for lunch. A work colleague suggested Christies and after reading some of the reviews I was a little apprehensive. I would say on our visit I would completely ignore the bad reviews. We were served quickly with our drinks and given menus. The place was clean & tidy as well as busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Our order was promptly taken and food served to us. Meal was lovely and great value. Definately worth a stop for a snack.

You'll understand the title of my review if you've ever watched the Little Britain comedy sketches. By and large the food here is nice enough ( good selection of sandwich fillings and substantial plates of soup) That's if you're lucky enough to be " allowed" to order them. We've had similar experiences twice now to that mentioned in another recent review.One day we went in at 11.45am. We were hungry as we'd been on the road since early and not stopped for breakfast. The soup option was showing on the little blackboard but, when we ordered it, the waitress said it wasn't available till after 12 . I mean, seriously , she wasn't prepared to allow us a plate if soup 15 minutes before noon and she even went away to check!! Why have it noted out front on the blackboard then ? We were pretty bemused so just ordered sandwiches and tea,On a previous occasion, we arrived just 2 or 3 minutes after 4pm to be told " cake only " despite the fact we were just looking for a sandwich and the requisite ingredients were actually right there in front of them. What a ludicrous way to do business. There's absolutely no flexibility here so I'd agree with the previous reviewer's opinion. The attitude is totally " Computer Says No" . Sorry to say , we won't be back when next in the area.

Great range of fillings and all freshly prepared. A firm favourite for either a sit in or to grab a take away. Christies has become a regular coffee and a sandwich stop and you never feel rushed.

What a pleasure to have such an excellent breakfast with the family. Christies is an immaculately clean well run Cafe/ Deli with great locally sourced food. Five stars for the smoked salmon and scrambled egg. It's great to see a small independent run with quality,pride and delicious food.

A couple minutes after 4 and they still had sandwich filling etc behind counter, as they close at half 4. But they said they couldnt make us a sandwich because it was after 4, and they turn everything off at 4 such as the toasters etc for panini's. But we just wanted a normal sandwich.... One that didn't require heat and since they were still serving cakes etc its not exactly hard to make a couple sandwiches 4 MINUTES AFTER 4! First and last visit, what a joke!

Elgin was crying out for some where like this, nice to sit and have breakfast or lunch, but can also get delicious take away wraps, paninis etc. We have been numerous times and will keep going back. Can recommend the millionaire cupcakes, the home made coleslaw is lovely too, only down side is it's not open Sundays :)

Fantastic food, excellent service, tasty menu and everything is so fresh. The variety on the menu is huge and yet they will still allow you to mix the different options. Nothing is ever too much for them.

I've been here many times for a sit down lunch and also used their take away service - they never disappoint. Great selection of fillings - the salads are my favourite. Lovely decor and pleasant service.

Again visited today. 10 out of 10 brilliant everytime worth every penny thankyou.Highly recomended.Money well spent.Food full of flavor.

We always find Christies Deli a great place to eat. For a start you can park free and it is away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. A great range of menu choices and all freshly made, I always found it hard to choose - until I discovered the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup! The serving looks enormous, it is enormous, but the pancakes are so light, the bacon so tasty and the flavour and balance of the maple syrup that clearing my plate is a pleasure. You will only need a light lunch! I have indulged on a number of occasions now, and the quality and standard of service has been consistently great. Luv it! Luv it!

A regular fortnightly meet up with an old chum has us searching for pleasant convivial surroundings with a nice cuppa and hopefully a tasty illicit treat. We thought we would try the Deli once again. We had been two years previously and had been very disappointed, we hoped for better on this occasion.Oh dear, I arrived 10 minutes before my pal, of the 9 or so tables 4 were occupied and the other 5 were piled high with crockery from previous customers. I cleared a table of its contents onto an adjacent table and sat down. The table, now cleared of debris however revealed a surface far stickier than one meal would have produced. The menu itself was so grubby, I felt that I needed to wash my hands after looking at it. The seat cushions were also very stained and grubby. During the 15 or so minutes waiting for my friend, not one member of staff approached me, or cleared any of the tables. People sitting at adjacent tables were receiving their orders during my wait and I noted that they were being apologised to for the apparent wait for their orders. I counted at least 4 different members of staff.My chum arrived and after seeing the state of the table and the piles of used crockery on the other filthy tables in addition to the grubby menu, we agreed that we were not willing to risk contracting salmonella or e coli by eating or drinking anything there. At this point a waitress appeared to take our order (20 mins after arrival) and looked aghast as we told her that we had decided not to stay.A closer look around as we left proved our fears. The whole place looked as if it could have done with a thorough professional clean.I had visited the Deli some two years previously and had been disappointed by the standard of the premises and the quality of the food at that time, but had looked on trip advisor and seen a few positive comments. This time I will not return, irrespective of any review I may subsequently read.

Always enjoy coming to Christies. Helpful and corteous staff. Lovely food. Good value for money. Had a superb breakfast again. The sandwiches from the takeaway are always freshly made, good selection and home made yumyums are to die for

Have frequented the deli a few times over past year and food has always been good. The service, however, has been erratic and staff always seem unhappy and over worked. Manageress/owner always looks stressed and uninterested as is evident on this website as none of the reviews have been replied too. Won't be back as there are better options in Elgin/Lossiemouth.

The best place to eat in Elgin by far.Great menu, great food, great service and lovely well presented staff.Marvellous - a breath of fresh air in Scotland!

Since it opened , both me and my husband have loved going to the Deli as the food is amazing but recently we have noticed that its not the cheapest place to eat ! We had a breakfast earlier this weekend and it was £15 for that with a coffee and an orange juice . Given that the location is not central and you have to make the effort to go , the prices I feel will put people off .

I would highlt recommend Christies Deli for nice fresh tasty food. The food is mostly sandwiches,paninis and wraps etc but what we had was served with lots of fresh salad and presented nicely. The young staff are pleasant and appear to have a genuine interest in good customer service which is rare these days.I would definately return again when i visit Elgin.Keep up the good work girls.!

Entered at 1110am on 06/10/12. Had to wait 15minutes for order to be taken enough others who came in after got theirs taken. The drinks arrived about 7minutes later but the breakfast rolls took another 19minutes to arrive. When asked for the reason for the lateness.The reply was that they were busy which i thought was a bit lame. More staff could have helped as i only saw about 4. The only good point was the food when it got here. This will be the first &last visit.

One of my favourite places to eat in Elgin, have been a regular here for some time, never fails to impress. Usually go for a late breakfast or lunch, kids portions not a problem, my granddaughter loves the scrambled eggs on toast. Large selection of fillings on the lunch menu, which are different from the norm. Easy parking and friendly staff! Always busy

I go to the deli on a regular basis, often twice a week. The selection of breads and fillings is excellent and the coffee very good. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Really good for breakfast, light lunches and snacks. Really fresh food and original combos. Very relaxed atmosphere with newspapers supplied. The owners her are making a real effort to provide contemporary food and are suceeding very well

sometimes tea comes in a normal cup then next time in a large glass mug ;not very attractive. cakes look like they have been made by someone not professional and for the price they should be better. The staff need to know that you cannot handle meat then pick up cheese or salad.this is down to lack of training .could be so much better.

This place is to be found on the south of the town in a shopping/ health centre complex - parking is easy. The waiting staff are friendly and welcoming and their food is generous, fresh and tasty. There are tables and chairs, sofas and high stools, but never enough! Having tried a few places in Elgin this is my first choice. Our elderly guest loved the butternut squash soup - a generous serving - with tasty bread. She reports that when she visits herself they know exactly what she likes and look after her well. We loved our paninis filled with fresh homemade fillings and a beautiful little side salad: so fresh and delicate with a raspberry vinaigrette. One member of staff impressed us incredibly with her maximising the turnover in a very efficient way: welcoming new customers and making them comfortable whilst advising on the next available table. All done in a quiet fashion but maximising turnover incredibly well and in a charming way. Well done!

A good place for lunch with a decent selection of breads and fillings. Good choice and the cakes are scrumptious too. No wonder its so busy.

Just love this place - As someone who is severely gluten intolerant, the fact that they don't bat an eyelid when you request gluten free bread and you can have your pick of all the cakes on the menu, because -happy days- they are ALL gluten free! Deep joy !Great coffee too! Thank you Christies!

excellent food, but desparatley lacking in service, appear extremely short staffed with staff looking stressed out at trying to multitask. Needs organisation and a good cleaning rota as tables not wiped after customers leave and new customers seated. When we did eventually get served the food was absolutley fab, delicious and fresh, the salad dressing was excellent and salad was not just a side but a delicious addage to the meal........do go regularly so look forward to see the improvement of customer service assistants.

Ok, we have been here now a few times and can't complain. The first time we had breakfast-a full Scottish breakfast and Scottish salmon with poached eggs lovely.We went today we the same intention to have breakfast however just missed last orders which is 1130hrs. As a result we tried the jacket potatoes and agree with everyone else the choice of fillings is excellent probably the best I have come across. We ended up treating ourselves to a cake one word-tasty!!

We often go here for lunch as it has every type of filling for a sandwich you could imagine!! It is usually very busy and has a buzz about it. The sandwiches are delicious and there is something for everyone (if you cant find something at this place you like then you shouldn't bother eating out!!)

We've stopped at Christies many times over the past couple of years, usually for a quick bite of lunch. It's located in a small shopping area on the outskirts of Elgin, so you need to know it's there! (Or be recommended by colleagues as we were.). It's only open in daytime.Their main thing is lots (dozens and dozens) of different fillings which you can have in ciabattas, toasties, sandwiches or whatever. It's all freshly prepared and well presented with side salad. They also have a decent range of soft drinks (like Firefly) as well as the usual teas, coffees and so on.Service is friendly and efficient though, as I said, it's all freshly prepared so can take a few minutes - they also do a takeaway service and, if you know what you want, you can phone an order in advance.We'll definitely be back, and would recommed Christies to anyone looking for a bite in Elgin.

I have visited Christies deli many times and I love it! The food is made to order and the side salad is to die for ! Staff very friendly and my favourite place to go in Elgin . I have told all my friends about which maybe I shouldn't have as sometimes I can't get a seat at lunch time !!

I paid a second visit to this friendly out of the way Elgin diner. My companion and I had a brief wait for a table, but weren't in a hurry so were happy to sit at the bar stools at the window and read the papers until one became ready. We both ordered Salads with prawn and avocado. Christies salads are beautifully presented as you'll see from the photo. Service overall was friendly, however we did have a bit of wait before we were given the opportunity to order our tea, Americano coffee and carrot cake. The standard of the coffee was as before first class with a beautiful crema. All Christies bakes are made from Dove's Gluten Free flour. Their carrot cake was beautifully light and a real treat. My companion and I were well satisfied with our lunch and will make a further visit soon.

First visited Christies Deli when I moved to the area back in June. Have now been 4 times and having enjoyed each occassion thought I would write a review. Value for money is excellant with a varied selection of different fillings (upwards of 50) that you can have with either a sandwich, panini, wrap or baguette all served with a lovely side salad, and all served by pleasant staff. If your after a nice snack with a nice filling at lunch time this is the place for you.
