This was my favourite place to go on my days off with my partner for lunch. The pork sandwich they did was amazing with so much flavour, its a real shame to hear they have closed, I really think our high street needs more of these kind of restaurants.

We used to go often, the Portuguese Tapas was amazing. Also the roast meats. Now it’s a few bits and pieces….poorly presented second rate food. If you loved it before you won’t now. I felt sorry for the employees you can see they are sad to be serving this stuff.

what a great pleasure to be able to come down camborne high road and frequent this eatery after a year of lock-down, it was great to see john alan and maria again . i had a wonderful lemon sorbet in a real lemon, siting in the sun with Mediterranean aromas coming from the kitchen , and able to buy the best ingredients for an appetiser before dinner, with fresh bread the best tasting egg from john's chickens with a beautiful yolk , and a very rare treat guanciale ! it was great to catch up, it was like seeing family again. see you very soon

Maria lovely lady is an excellent chef. Lovely friend place. Whatever you do, you must have a morning coffee with natas ( Portuguese custard tart) fresh from the oven . Thank you for such a friendly welcome

Today was our first visit to Dax. We pondered the vast menu and settled on two delicious Ciabatta for takeaway lunch. I had hand cut Roast Ham and salad, hubby plumped for mixed Salami, Cheese and salad. They were absolutely delicious! Fresh and packed with fillings. We also took Pastal de Nata for "afters" as they are a Portuguese favourite of ours... So tasty! Best I've tasted outside of Portugal!! Next time we are going to eat in and sample their coffee.

Continue to be impressed with the standard of food in this tiny restaurant. Check out the specials on the blackboard - give any of them as try and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. My favourites are the Spanish meatballs, hake with spring onion mash and pork with chips (real, not frozen), rice, egg and salad. None of the so called up market restaurants in Cornwall can hold a candle to this place.

I am so glad that we have found this amazing little restaurant! A selection of authentic Portuguese, Spanish and Italian food is on offer and I can't wait to try all of it. My husband and I popped in for a quick lunch - I had the Spanish meatballs and he had Portuguese bifana (pork steak on a soft roll). My meal was so full of flavour, I have to say it was the best meal I have had in a restaurant for a very long time. I had a meatball dish at Jamie Olivers a few months ago, which was complete rubbish in comparison. The restaurant was busy, but we had excellent service. Can't wait to go back there again. Well done!

I have been going here for sandwiches which I normally have a salmon sandwich which they normally charge £4.99 anyway went in again the following day to order my sandwich to which I was told the price was now £7.99, I queried this and was told this has always been the price, I told them I work in town and come in regularly and always pay £4.99 for it, they told me as they had already made it they would let me have it for that but next time it will be £7.99, how can it go up £3.00 extra in a day. Maybe they think they have a sandwich shop in the middle of Harrods and forgetting they are in fact in Camborne. Sorry to say there won’t be a next time as I refuse to pay £8.00 for a sandwich!!!! Another local customer you have lost as I won’t be returning!!

Fantastic choices of tasty, freshly prepared food. Friendly, personal service. Staff helped us choose which dishes to have by describing in detail what the Portuguese meals were. Amazing flavours, good sized portions and very reasonably priced. Nice coffee too. The small 5 tabled cafe also offers delicatessen counter, showing a wide range of Italian and Portuguese delicacies. After the lunch, I left with a carrier bag containing milano salami, serrano ham, provolone cheese, canoli and some other sweet pastry delights. Well worth a visit.

Having recently moved to Camborne, decided to treat myself to lunch in an Olde Worlde Coffee Shop called Dax in Trelowarren Street. I chose a large Cornish Steak Pasty and a lovely cup of Americano coffee. The service was very fast, friendly and also relatively cheap. A large hot pasty using local ingredients for £2.95 plus coffee Total bill £5.50. Didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. So filling and delicious. A good place to meet friends.

people who frequent this deli on Camborne Trelowarren Street will know that the food sold or freshly prepared and served has never disappointed, today was no exception, the smoked salmon crab and prawn platter I had was as usual fantastic, served with a great friendly chat with John, Alan or Maria. There is always an aroma of freshly cooked pork, beef, crab or the humble pasty, you can sit down in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the many delicacies and excellent cakes and coffee at reasonable prices. I could go on and on, but the best way to sample all this is to take a trip into Camborne and see for your self you won't be disappointed

We went here on our first day of our holiday having found it on here, and we were not disappointed. It's like a deli really, but with a few tables along the counter where you can sit and have food and drinks. The menu is quite extensive and there were lots of specials dotted about. The sandwiches were really well filled, and you got a really big portion for the money. The staff seemed really nice and this place had a very welcoming feel. We paid just £13 for 2 hot drinks, 2 sarnies, a cold drink and some takeaway pastries which were all excellent. I don't doubt we will be back later on this trip.

Dax Delicatessen is heaven! Fresh Cornish crabs, Italian cheeses, cured hams, sweet desserts and fresh sandwiches made to order to eat in or take away! Where else can you find that in Cornwall?!There is always an aroma of freshly cooked pork or lobster enticing us in! You can sit down in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the many Italian, Spanish and Portuguese delicacies - excellent food at reasonable prices. We are there every week stocking up the fridge as well as treating ourselves to a lovely fresh sandwich, whether hot or cold fillings there is something for everyone and having tried most of them they are all as delicious as the last one! (The tapas is great too! As well as the coffees and choice of cold drinks!)I mustn’t forget the customer service – amazing! John always looks after us so well – he is friendly and helpful – there is so much to choose from and he is always happy to help and offer you a taster - nothing is too much for the Dax team!

On a recent visit to Camborne I was surprised to find this delightful deli with good range of counter products on offer. I was impressed enough to take the time to write this, my first and possibly only Trip Advisor review. Our lunch was very reasonably priced with a generously filled fresh ciabatta at a similar price to a pre-packed "limp lettuce" offering elsewhere. Although not exactly aimed at children the owner was very kind and accommodating to our little girl (age 3) and we were made to feel welcome: thoughtful touches like serving her a share of my soup in an espresso cup for ease. Camborne high street is not synonymous with good food but I would recommend Dax Deli and will definitely eat there again.

I keep meaning to leave a review as my husband and I have been eating here for a few months now.John is old style and the real deal when it comes to sourcing seafood and fresh produce. So many places in Cornwall just have no idea how to cook fish (even though it is all around you) but John does!Never had a bad meal here and is incredibly reasonable, have tried some other "recommended" places locally but would not go anywhere else in Camborne areaLamorna the front of house friendly, bubbly and knowledgable lady is so warming and inviting, something of a rarity in Cornwall. Nothing is ever too much always greeting ourselves and everyone with a smile.If like myself you are a foodie and struggle for good ingredients to cook Mediterranean food, you can get everything you need here.Portuguese food from the lady at the weekends is also very good and also very friendly. Highly recommend this for some tapas, seafood, paella, or a great Cornish crab sandwich or stuffed crab!Delicious

I now owe a work colleague a huge debt of gratitude for letting me know about the Dax Deli. What an amazing 'Aladdin's cave' of a deli, full of the flavours of the med, both savoury and sweet. They even sell cataplana and paella dishes for you to make at home. I can't wait for them to extend and open up the restaurant section. A little bit of Portugal in Cornwall to help us 'matar saudades'. A simply wonderful, quality addition to the Cornwall food scene.

I lived in Italy for almost three years and every time I would come home I would miss being able to buy decent Mediterranean style food. This place fills this hole. I found the staff to be very knowledgeable about their produce and the quality of the Bresoala ( dry cured beef ) and Coppa Parma was very good. They have a wide range of cheeses and other products such as sausages. I highly recommend the Portuguese egg tarts, they are delicious. This place will give you an authentic glimpse of what Mediterranean cheese and meat is like rather than the overproduced, overpriced, pre-packaged equivalent you will find in the supermarkets.

A couple of moccas with the most A M A Z I N G almond cake ever! I've been working my way through all the cakes here, (mad about Pasteis de Nata) but the standout one for me is this. No nebulous almond ‘extract’, but packed with almonds, almost marzipan like. To die for. My friend enjoyed her cappuccino & Tart Aux Pommes, finding the latter moist & flavoursome. The thing that differentiates cakes here, for me anyway, are the flavours. Tangy raspberry, citrusy lemon & lime, sweet blueberry & vanilla, almond and crisp apple. Treat yourself to a sample, you won’t be disappointed. Undeniably great coffee served here, & a nice vibe. Another visit, for a delectable & scrummy lunch at Dax. This time, garlic & olive pate on Bruschetta – divine, followed by succulent King Prawns marinated in garlic & chilli, luscious mixed leaf & sun blushed tomato salad strewn with delicate strips of red pepper with a lemon balsamic dressing. The menu is simple and to the point – no messing here! The options are scrawled on a black board. Dishes are simple with a twist of ingenuity and great use of flavours. The friend that accompanied me thoroughly enjoyed her Cornish Honey Roast ham & salad filled ciabiatta which she said was bursting with flavour. Exquisite food at a good price. Top notch service. I love relaxing in the tranquillity of this unpretentious yet beautiful little deli, counters filled with delights to feast your eyes, with a coffee or mocca on the side. Heaven! Marinated pulled pork & salad roll last Friday . . .magnificent! Don't miss this when you visit Cornwall.

Love this deli. What a treasure, right in the centre of Camborne. An amazing range of Med seafood, cheeses and meats. This place is up there. Oh and the dressed crab the best I have ever had; full of flavour. If this place was in Truro it would be heaving with eager shoppers.

I regularly get my lunch from Dax Delicatessan and have never had a bad meal. Everything is fresh and delicious. The service is quick and the prices spot on. Everything they sell from bread, cheese, meat, fish, olives, cakes is always fresh and tasty. Dax Delicatessan is just what Camborne needs. Better than the endless pasty shops and other sandwich shops that charge far more for inferior food. The staff at Dax Delicatessan are always friendly and helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. Definitely the best. :-)

We had a very tasty lunch of lobster in tempura batter with ciabatta bread. Excellent food at a reasonable price. Very friendly staff and you can take your own wine and be charged £3 for corkage.

My husband loves seafood and says that the langoustines were up there with the best he has had anywhere. I don't like seafood but love a shop like Dax which has the courage to open outside places like Truro and Falmouth. It's about time Camborne had something other than poundshops, charity shops and the like. There is a good choice of deli items in Dax which is great for variety. They are friendly, helpful and wow, no having to drive to another town.

I went with my partner and the sandwiches were alright but the coffee wasn't good at all, it tasted like the coffee's you get out of vending machines, yet it was called 'Italian coffee'.

I'm lucky enough to work nearby and everyone at my work regularly has sandwiches from here. They are always excellent - I usually have mixed cheese or dressed crab wth salad, mayo or garlic mayo on a warm ciabatta. Delicious. Staff are lovely, always friendly. It's wonderful to have this on Camborne high street.

my daughter and I called in for lunch today and boy what a treat, we had an excellent bowl of king, tiger and langoustine garlic and chilli prawns, Malaga salad and crusty bread, perfect on a sunny Monday lunch time it certainly brightened up the afternoon everything here is always cooked fresh so there's a little wait but it's so worth waiting for, always a warm and friendly welcome

What a little gem in the middle of depressing Camborne. Me and a friend popped in for lunch. Both had one of the Portuguese specials, coffee and desert.The food is obviously cooked from scratch as it took a while. Well worth the wait. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.Looking forward to a return visit soon.

Found this delightful upstairs cafe by chance and had some of the best vegetarian food for a long time. We were made very welcome and chose the hummus bowl and roasted veg toasted sandwich. Both were excellent and very filling.

I've only ever called in for a beer but no complaints so far and staff are nice too. There's a big beer garden which is very useful for the kids and dogs.

The ice creams here are beautiful! Really generous portions and are very well presented. The customer service we received was outstanding, my daughter had a massive meltdown (ASD) and they were nothing but supportive, understanding and helpful. We'd had a very tough day today with meltdowns galore and this one was by far the worst of the day yet I never felt alone or judged. People like you make the biggest difference and I am so very grateful for you going out of your way to help and care. Thank you x
