Deli Cafe in Stratford-on-Avon

This is a lovely little café with very reasonably priced, generous portions, freshly cooked and (important for me) clearly labelled gluten free options and a kids menu with the simple options kids enjoy. All of us enjoyed our food and whilst the gluten free batter wasn't anything special, the fish was a generous portion and beautifully flavourful and well cooked so this was easily forgiven. The food isn't fancy but it's well done and tasty and doesn't cost a fortune, none if had any complaints. A great place to stop for lunch or brunch, I think the only thing that was a little tricky was fitting around the small tables but given its small size and popularity, you can see why the tables were small. We got there relatively early for our cooked lunch and were waiting about 20 minutes - reasonable as it's freshly cooked and I am gluten free - I think if it was really busy cooked food might take longer? Worth it though.

This place is amazing, the food is well prepared, staff are really friendly and helpful, even during the lunchtime rush... They also coped with multiple food allergies! The coffee is pretty good too.

Popped in for lunch, it was very busy. Husband had a bacon and mushroom sandwich and I had smashed avocado on toast. Both were very good. Would recommend a visit.

Great service, dog friendly, good food and good coffee. I enjoyed the vegetarian cooked breakfast which is served all day.

Brilliant place and food brilliant

Went here today. Lovely old building. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and tidy. The food English breakfast was good as well. And not expensive. Would highly recommend 👌

Very friendly, great food and reasonably priced

A smart cafe, really busy the day we visited. Staff very attentive, food 1st class, well cooked. A very well run place will definitely return on our next visit to Stafford upon Avon

A friendly welcome in the well run cafe. Food is cooked to order. Nothing is too much trouble. I am GF, DF and egg intolerant. The staff are so helpful and supportive, they want you to enjoy your meal. It was so good to be able to order a meal without worrying about a reaction. (Intolerant foods are prepared and cooked separately) Really enjoyed the coffee and fish and chips. Do pop in and experience the cafe yourself. You will not be disappointed. Cake selection is far too inviting 😋

Excellent made to order full English,nice atmosphere,pleasant staff,great value! Recommended!!

This cafe is a great place to eat and drink. Their flat white coffee, in my view, is even better than Costa. And there breakfast is one of the best I've had in a long time, I'm not a fan of hash brown, so a double egg came. 😋The service was top-notch, thanks to all at the deli cafe. I will be back. Go and try it, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely scones and cream, great service, highly recommend :)

Went in for breakfast 😋 one of the best we've had just lovely and tasty 😋

I just love the Deli Cafe, the breakfast’s are just fantastic, so hot and freshly cooked. The staff are always so friendly which makes every visit a pleasure to come. I look forward to my next visit.

Had the full English breakfast, absolutely delicious. Hot and freshly cooked to order. Great coffee, friendly staff, well worth a visit.

Went in with my husband for breakfast . I had the regular English he had a large breakfast .both were super. Hot fresh cooked to order and tasty. The staff are very friendly and the cafe has a warm atmosphere often busy with locals who the staff all refer to by first name,a lovely touch. Great cafe ,pop in,you won’t be disappointed !

Went on a day trip to Stratford on Avon with my daughter, stopped of at Deli Café great food and good friendly service, I would recommend it to anyone to pop by for lunch

Amazing breakfast. Excellent experience overall! Will likely be back tomorrow! Food was outstanding and service was brilliant!

Highly recommend. Had brunch with the family here. I had the full English breakfast. It was delicious and good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go there again if I'm in the area.

I don't understand how this place gets so many good reviews. The food was very average. You could tell the fish & chips were shop bought frozen ones just cooked up. In fact, the chips were horrible and dry, cooked from frozen. I had the halloumi salad, which was very small and basic. Staff were pretty unfriendly. Why call it a deli cafe when it's got nothing to do with deli food.

Gorgeous breakfast & lovely staff. Highly recommend 😊

Amazing cafe! A must visit when in Stratford! Very busy when we arrived but the staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. The owner was lovely to meet and the food was fantastic. Good luck with the rest of the season, you really have an amazing place here.

We only wish we lived nearer! Quite honestly the service, the welcome and the food are all first class. Breakfast is freshly cooked, plentiful, with good quality ingredients. As for lunch, if the pie of the day is chicken and white wine you’d be crazy to miss it. It’s the most delicious pie we’ve ever had, so much so on our last trip we took some home for tea! We could have had breakfast in our hotel but chose to visit Deli cafe as we knew it would be better. Thank you all and see you all next time!

It was a busy day, but food was served quickly, even though we were told it could be a 20 minute wait. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Food was excellent and not what you would expect from a cafe. I don’t know where they buy their coffee beans from, but the coffee was amazing. I would highly recommend this place as it’s great value for money.

Found this lovely cafe so glad we did. Lovely breakfast, very friendly staff. Efficient service. Highly recommend.

Very good service and a very complete menu. Charming

Attentive friendly and welcoming- lovely cafe with good value home cooked food

Amazing coffee , what a delicious breakfast, hit the spot , quality bacon sausage, great choice and no grease, Definitely be back , right price to for Stratford upon Avon

Took ages to be served, actually took order on table next to us and ignored us. Food was good, but forgot my toast on all day day breakfast. Mention no toast paying the bill, received a sorry, but no offer of refund on toast.

Fantastic cafe! Had Googled the place before a day trip. Wasn’t disappointed. Great food at a good price, especially for Stratford; they have not taken to cater on for the tourist trade which is unusual and pleasant to see. Food so well presented and well cooked. So good we went back later in the day for Cream scones!

Really good cooked breakfasts and reasonably priced. Really recommend :)

The best breakfast I have ever had, everything was cooked to perfection and the coffee was delicious and hot! I will definitely be visiting again

I can only give this a five star if there was six I would have given it fantastic place for a meal atmosphere excellent highly recommend

Great place! Food of the highest quality and cooked fresh to order! Table service. Friendly staff that don't jump on you as soon as you walk in! Lovely friendly atmosphere with gentle background music. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Food is tasty. But the quantity of food too smal. Not worthy as expensive

Absolutely amazing food and the service was awesome. Best breakfast we've ever had. Will definitely be back and Would highly recommend. Don't bother going anywhere else, nowhere will cook as good as they do.

Always go here when we are visiting Straford. Consistently very good.

Great food and prices in a great location.

FANTASTIC MEAL! We had the English breakfast and the fish & chips and both were the best we’ve had in England so far! The waitress was very kind and the restaurant was clean. The prices were also very reasonable. If you’re in town, this is a must visit!

Bit of a wait fir food,but very friendly staff,great value for money,and great atmosphere.will 've returning here!!!!!!

Beautiful traditional Stratford cafe. Food and staff so lovely and food was great! Highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back

Found this lovely cafe while visiting Stratford-Upon-Avon. Efficient and super friendly service with a great selection of items on the menu. Enjoyed a veggie sausage and mushroom white roll - food was well cooked and tasty. A very lovely community feel surrounded by lots of regulars. Will definitely visit again.

Best cafe for a full English in Stratford upon avon

Nice attractive Café great service and atmosphere. Lovely food. Tasty breakfast… licked the plate clean

Nice cafe on our walk back to the train station after another visit to wonderful Stratford-upon-Avon.

The staff very friendly and helpful the place is lovely and the food was excellent.

Very lovely friendly staff and a perfect cream tea! Thank you for making this feel so welcome with our twins.

Lovely staff and food, very good value for money. We would definitely recommend eating here.

Made to feel welcome and the lady who took our order was very polite. We had a Caesar salad which was very nice, and a cup of tea. Busy but not bustling.

Lovely staff, good choice of food. Reasonable prices.

Came here whilst visiting Stratford a few weeks back and wanted breakfast. Really lovely well run Cafe, the staff were all friendly and welcoming. The food was all cooked fresh to order and arrived piping hot, flavourful and good portion sizes, couldn’t fault it. Good milk alternative options for drinks too which was great. If I could give any feedback it would be whilst there lots of people were coming in and confused if you seat yourself, then order at the counter. Whilst there it was table service, a sign on the door or coming in might help solve the confusion for people (not a big thing). Will be back again when we’re in the area and would love to try more of their food.

Lovely place on the one the main streets going into Stratford. Good choice from the menu. Staff were very friendly, toilets a bit small, but they were kept clean. Worth a visit

Worth a visit. Had prawn salad for lunch and really enjoyed it. First time visit but will be back.

Excellent service , prices and food quality. Pet friendly which was a relief as the day turned chilly. We both ate for the same price as many places charge for one here in town. Recommend!

A proper English breakfast we couldn't fault it. 10/10

Excellent food and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back. Very, very good.

Really great lunch, good selection on the menu, staff helpful, friendly and attentive even when it was super busy

Lovely g.f. soup and gf bread. My husband had b.l.t.roll and enjoyed it. Friendly service.

Great place to eat, friendly and helpful staff great price. We had a main meal, desert, pot of tea for two and cold drink £52.00 in total. My husband got ice cream with his Bakewell tart when I asked although it wasn't on the menu which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend this place.

Tasty panini and bacon roll hit the spot, washed down with ale & cider. Good service, great food, reasonably priced....

We visited on Monday morning with our 6 month old puppy, had a lovely friendly welcome, tea and coffee plus the perfect mushrooms on toast and a lovely breakfast roll. Our dog had his own water bowl and was fussed by the staff. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

What a lovely find this cafe was, it was warm and inviting, the service was both friendly and efficient, and my lunch was delicious. What more can I say

Lovely cafe, where we had a great breakfast, located in the town of Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace.

Friendly place. A bit chilly near the door.

Popped in for breakfast. Avocado on toast, breakfast sandwich and drinks for under 20 pounds. Tasty food with friendly service and good value.

Great variety on the menu and a brilliant price - particularly for Stratford Upon Avon! A relaxed atmosphere, even when it was at full capacity. Staff were very friendly and approachable; the chef was very understanding of my food anxieties (not to mention cooking poached eggs to PERFECTION!) Definitely going to be visiting regularly when we move to the area!

An amazing little cafe with a lovely atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. We had an all day breakfast and gammon, egg and chips and both were delicious. They don’t fall into the trap so many places in highly touristy areas fall into of not caring because the clientele won’t be visiting Stratford again. They deserve their 2023 travellers choice award.

Fantastic lunch at Deli Cafe. Food and Service was outstanding considering it’s a popular place. I had the homemade chicken and leek pie which was absolutely delicious. All very reasonably priced considering the high quality food. Look forward to my next visit whenever I next find myself in Stratford-upon-Avon.

We went when the Victoria Market was on, and even though it was very busy and waited about 40 minutes for food, the wait was definitely worthwhile as the breakfast was delicious and the staff remained upbeat even though they never stopped. Thank you

I was enjoying my large breakfast until I tasted the brown sauce from the HP Bottle. It was 100% a cheaper brand and not HP. Please put this right.

Since it's take over it's become a really good place to eat, if you can get a seat as it's very popular with the locals, I'd book ahead if you can

Uwielbiam angielskie śniadania i tu w Deli Café nie zawiodłam się, było wyśmienite. Super obsługa.

The food here is absolutely delicious! All home made in house, which is a refreshing change of pace. The lady that made our food was so lovely, I didn’t catch her name! We will definitely be back again!

Such a lovely little place, had a gorgeous and really reasonably priced fry up and the staff were so lovely! Perfect end to our stay in Stratford.

Both my friend & I enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate & a biscoff cheesecake here today . Lovely food & staff were so friendly & welcoming . Will definitely be back .

We were looking for a lunch spot whilst visiting the Christmas market. Whilst we had to queue and wait for a table to come available it was worth the wait. The staff were running around to keep up with demand but couldn’t do enough for you. Such a friendly, welcoming place & the food was lovely. We would love to return when we come back to the area. Thank you so much for a lovely experience. ❤️

Quick service from friendly staff hot good quality food plenty of space ,good for Stratford-upon-Avon

Lovley run staff working as a team 👏 Highley recommended as took us 2hrs to get a drink at Stratford Xmas Market 🎄 this cafe was brilliant 👏

Plenty of cafés to choose from in Stratford but this one seems like a little gem well worth a visit choice and the price was competitive as well

Lovely cafe. Delicious food. Fantastic gluten free options. Good prices.

We stopped here for lunch, very busy but we were seated and served very quickly. I had the roasted tomato soup which was absolutely delicious, plus a raspberry & white chocolate muffin to take away. Good food & good prices.

This is an extremely busy cafe, we had brunch here, very good service and tasty food, just the place to visit to take a break during a busy day in Stratford

Excellent breakfast and lovely staff and atmosphere. We went every morning of our stay and loved it.

Fantastic pie with gravy and proper chips!! Friendly staff too Busy but that’s a good sign!! Would come again to try cakes as too full this time!

Visited Nov 18th, very busy, have eaten here before and will visit again, great they do gf options

Fantastic chicken pie with a whole gravy boat to myself. Great chips. Lovely service. Highly recommend.

Lovely little cafe with thoughtful friendly staff and homemade food. I had a veggie red onion quiche which was gorgeous. We were here at a very busy time so kitchen service was not fast but worth the wait.

This is the best cafe/restaurant in the whole of Stratford. The staff are phenomenal, friendly, professional and fabulous The chef is…well he is truly amazing! The chicken and leek pie was so fantastic yesterday, today we came back for more. Stuffed with tender chicken and soft buttery leeks in a light buttery pastry it is without question sheer perfection. We also did breakfast here and again, every item is cooked beautifully and is beyond super tasty. We only wish you opened Sundays! We’d drive the hour and a half for a Sunday lunch cooked by you! Roll on our next visit - we cannot wait!

We would definitely recommend this busy cafe. They have a delicious menu of home cooked food at reasonable prices, gave us a lovely warm welcome and fantastic service. Thank you very much!

I had a wonderful lunch at the Deli Cafe in Stratford. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the lasagne which was arguably one of the most tasty lasagnes that I had ever eaten. Scrumptious and home made with a lovely salad and at a price that felt like 20 years ago. Such great value for money. The staff are super friendly and welcoming with a special shout out the lovely Will who looked after me and made sure that I had everything I needed. I am so looking forward to coming back for a delicious lunch at a price that is easy on the wallet with the kindest staff! :-)

Found this place based on gluten-free options. I went on a Saturday and it was very busy, despite that there was a table free. Menu had a lot of choice, and the gluten-free fish and chips were excellent. The all-day breakfast was great, it's not cheap but comparable to most cafe prices in this area. Service was great and I wasn't waiting too long for the food. If you're into milkshakes, then they do one with lots of extras. The NCP carpark is just over the road. There was a market on too.

Afternoon tea was lovely, all nice and freshly made, my daughter had a child's afternoon tea and she enjoyed it too she even had a dish of sweets

Just called in for lunch really enjoyed good quality and value would recomend

My friend and I were looking for somewhere to have lunch after going into another place which did not come up standard. Then we came upon Deli Cafe🙂 We were welcomed by very pleasant staff, explained how they would take our when we were ready. The cafe was very clean especially after each set of customers left the premises, using antibac spray and cloth. The food was hot and service was good. The food was very fresh and tasty. Thank you Deli Cafe team. We will be back.

Lovely traditional cafe with great food. As an Aussie I know my meat pies but I reckon the chicken and mushroom pie here was one of the best I have eaten. As a coffee snob I can also say that the coffee was v good.

Lovely cafe, great options for GF and Vegan, dog friendly. Lovely food, generous portion sizes! Very friendly staff. Only downside is service was slow and no baby changing

Organizing a trip to Stratford I found this café on Trip Advisor with great reviews and was not disappointed. Coffee was excellent and jacket potatoes likewise. Situated in an old building on Meer Street the inside was bright and clean. Service with a smile was gratefully received. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent home made food, good prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Really nice cafe. Good homemade food. Very reasonable prices. Service was great too. Thank you!

Came here for lunch the service was very good + the food . I’ve not been to many places where the chef helps clear the tables and ask if they enjoyed there meal will definitely be back
