Deli Malatso in Renfrewshire

Got what was supposed to be a salad roll no tomato onion cucumber just lettuce and 1 slice ham terrible dont answer phone to complain

Amazing freshly made Thai chicken soup and a toastie, friendly service and reasonable prices. I will definitely be back.

I popped in with my family for a coffee and lunch. We were seated fairly quickly as the cafe wasn't too busy. We ordered food and coffees, the menu looked quite good to be honest. We received our coffees after 10 minutes and I was hoping the food would follow shortly as I do prefer my coffee and food to be served at roughly the same time. Unfortunately we waited 1 1/2 hours and still no food. We eventually cancelled the food, paid for the coffees and left. During this wait, the "just eat" delivery driver was in and out so clearly phone ins were priority. As we were leaving we overheard staff telling new customers to expect an hour wait. If we had been told that we would have went elsewhere. It genuinely wasn't too busy, there were more empty tables than full ones. Very disappointing, I won't be back.

My Uncle and I stopped in here for lunch. We received a friendly welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Lots of choice on the menu, we went for French Toast with Bacon & Syrup and the Mini Breakfast with a Mars Milkshake and Coffee. Everything was delicious. Thoroughly recommend visiting here.

I popped in for a light lunch and greatly enjoyed a dish of lasagne. I apologise to the owners for not eating the side portions of potato crisps, bread and salad...just too much for me. But the meal was delicious, produced swiftly with a bright smile

Came here for lunch and it was lovely. Fresh food, and friendly staff :) will definitely visit again.

Great gluten free menu. Lots of options. I went for a chilli hot dog and chips for a quick and enjoyable lunch. Friendly and efficient service.

First time in Paisley in years and called in for lunch while nearby, after seeing a lot of 5 star reviews on g00gle maps. The deli was full but managed to get a table as someone was just leaving. We ordered lasagne and a club sandwich. Staff said it would take about 20 mins as they were very busy. The cafe is dog friendly and a couple of big dogs were in. Prices were very good value, obviously geared to the student population nearby. There is a good choice for vegans and vegetarians. The food came and looked nicely presented. Unfortunately the taste let both dishes down. The lasagne tasted like shop bought rather than home made and the club sandwich was bland. Can only rate as 3 stars.+ value for money, vegan/veggie options- taste of food, service a bit slow

Small cafe with lots of character and in summer outside tables. It's a daytime cafe but caters really well for people with food intolerance.We never manage to make it to a cake. Excellent baked potatoes, panini and love the chilli and rice. Not tried anything else.

2nd year in a row i’ve done the Paisley 10k & 2nd time, i’ve went here for my breakfast, excellent value for money & very tasty, gave me tons & tons of bacon which was superb & just what I needed after the 10k, looking forward to coming back next year if not sooner

Called in for lunch whilst walking our dog.Great choice of menu, veggie and vegan menu also available. Student discount also offered.Very dog friendly offering a dog menu as well.Seats inside and outside.Lovely coffee and a great range of drinks and cakes offered.Well worth a visit.

Been a few times for breakfast, good selection of vegan options which is the main reason we visit. Ketchup bottles could do with a good clean but other than that it's good food, reasonably priced and a nice friendly atmosphere.

We love Malatso. It was one of the first places in Paisley to allow dogs and create a dog menu. The human food is varied and always fresh. It has a very friendly atmosphere and caters for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free diets, etc. There are student discounts and wifi available. The staff do a brilliant job even under pressure and really show care towards every customer. PS I'm not getting anything for making this review - it's just that I find Malatso a very relaxibg place to be to eat nice food.

Went for lunch today about noon. The place was busy but not excessively. I arrived at the same time as two other customers who let the staff know that they were sitting outside. Why bother! These two customers turned into eight as more friends arrived. TWENTY minutes later and no member of staff, not even, God forbid to ask if we'd like to order a coffee, etc while we wait.Since the party of eight had not been served it was safe to assume that me and my Staffie, Little Archie would not eat for at least another twenty or so minutes. Needless to say we left. This is not the first time, or even the second time I've bailed. Trying to get service at Malatso is a bit like being placed on a NHS waiting list. By the time you get attended to you're dying of malnutrition or lost a leg to poor circulation But here's a novel idea. Employ more staff at the busiest times. The last time I was at 'Ma late so' I phoned their number from my table to remind them that there were customers outside.

Came here for breakfast before heading home and found it to be a very pleasant cafe with a good range of food and a massive range of amazing cakes. Highly enjoyable, centre of the city and worth a visit!

Visited this cafe for lunch last week and was so delighted at the amount of vegan options. It was refreshing to be able to pick off of a menu that wasn't just the 'usual' vegan stuff but quite inventive, tasty snacks. I had a BBQ pepperoni passion toastie that was really delicious. Staff were lovely, so warm and friendly, and made sure we were aware of the student discount on offer too. Will definitely be coming back here, such a lovely place.

I don't often give 5 stars but this place is a real treasure. A genuine, local, friendly cafe.

Popped in for the 1st time for a light lunch and will definitely be back.

Really love this place. Have had great lunches and plenty cuppas here and the service is always efficient and friendly. A couple of times we've been in and it's been raining really hard outside and the staff have helped us dry off our soaking coats and provided a lovely warm and cosy environment to shelter in.

I love Malatso. We have been here several times with family, always including two young boys (now 2 and 6). This place is friendly and has a variety of breakfast dishes, sandwiches, wraps etc. The cakes are excellent and there is a good vegan menu with several gluten free/gm free food offerings. There is also a dog menu (ie, for dogs...) The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. The coffee’s good, too, and there is a variety of teas available.

favorite coffee shop dog friendly , human friendly and a good atmosphere suitable for vegans as well as sugar junkies

Surroundings were like venues in Glasgow West End. My son and I had a very tasty lunch served by very friendly staff. My first visit but wil defintely return.

We had two more hours until our plane took off and I must say this was the best way possible to spend the time. Their vegan Mac and Cheese was soooo good. The waiter was very nice and the prices were reasonable 😊🧀

We had a late breakfast in the cafe after some shopping. We were made very welcome. A water bowl was brought straight over for our dog and we were able to choose something from her from the Dogs menu while we had our well-filled rolls. A look at the menu and the range of scrumptious cakes on offer means we’ll definitely be back before long.

Small and very pleasant place to eat. Great for lunch, very welcoming atmosphere and very good food. Highly recommended.

I popped in here for coffee after being at the university and the only located place that allowed dogs. Not only did they have a dog menu but they also had an amazing vegan menu. They have clearly been very thoughtful and caring about their customers. Fab coffee shop.

I frequently go to malatzo's and I love it. The staff are friendly and the coffee is delicious. I would highly recommend!

Came here for breakfast with my daughters, she is vegan , Malatso caters for everyone, I try the vegan toastie it was amazing the coffee is the best Iv had in a long time , service is 100 percent staff chatty with customers will be bk again

I went into Malatsis for coffee breakfast and cake with my sister who is vegan (I am vegetarian). Really pleased to be able to get vegan food locally rather than always heading to Glasgow. Great selection of food to cater for all diets. I had the breakfast burrito which was lovely and my sister had the vegan oreo cheesecake which was lush. Good that they also had a choice of milks so not just restricted to soy.

Been occasional visitors before but will now be regular visitors. New vegan menu is fabulous. Wide range of different yummy food. Cakes too. Choice of milk too. Milk shakes. They cater for dogs too (they have a dog menu)

Went here with my Mum and her dog. It has a massive vegan menu, dog friendly, lovely staff and brilliant atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be back to try more from the vegan menu.

I love having this cafe just 10 mins from where I live. Dog friendly, they serve great coffee and delicious soups. I plan to try more on the menu. The place has such a laid-back, relaxing vibe, they play great music but not so loud as to be intrusive. A great place to escape the world for an hour to have coffee, or lunch, and read a book or the papers. Great venue to meet up with friends for lunch in Paisley. The centre of town can seem a bit abandoned these days with so many shuttered shops but this is a fab, little haven.

I love to come here on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Staff are lovely and very friendly. Cafe has a great atmosphere is dog friendly with their own wee menu. The have normal menu, gluten free menu and are introducing a vegan menu soon. I would recommend a visit.

Great homemade cakes and tea.Really friendly staff and they cater for dogs who are more than made welcome.

Had the veggie chilli, served with rice & some nice toast.

Love going here great service and food am a bit fussy so always asking for requests and there aim is please plus I can bring my dog as he loves it too

was only here the one time last year, I got a very lovely and delicious hot chocolate drink and tasty...

Had enjoyable meal with family & 3 dogs . I had French toast bacon & syrup & it was very...

Malatso es un lugar encantador para ir. El personal es muy amable y hay un ambiente muy relajado. La comida es estupenda, a un precio razonable y el tortas caseras son tan sabroso! ! ! Es el único perro café amable en Paisley, así que...

Dugs Bienvenido! Buen café, batidos, pasteles agradable genial y los perros conseguir agua y un lujo también. Servicio amable, con una buena ubicación cerca del museo, el centro de la ciudad, uni y tiene un par de mesas afuera para disfrutar del sol de paisley.

Un salto para un almuerzo rápido. El café estaba bastante concurrido, pero nos las arreglamos para conseguir un asiento y fue tomado de nuestra orden prácticamente de inmediato. Pedí una sopa y un sandwich de oferta y la otra mitad pidió el chili. Tomó un pequeño tiempo para que los alimentos lleguen pero no nos importó ya que valió la pena la espera. La sopa de pollo tailandés era deliciosa, así como el bocadillo tostado. chili también era adorable. Bien merece una visita y sin duda regresaremos. Gracias chicos.

Segunda visita para disfrutar de la tostada francesa, bacon y sirope de arce y fue excelente como siempre. El Vanilla latte era bastante bueno también. Buena comida, bonita decoración, personal amable y se encargan de perros que incluso tienen su propio menú. Recomiendo una visita.

I've heard great things as to what has been done to provide vulnerable people with Christmas dinner here, so decided to visit for lunch with some colleagues.We were impressed with the choice of food available. The sandwiches we ordered were delicious and served quickly . Prices are very reasonable and portions generous. Decor is quirky and comfortable . The only gripe , if you could call it that, was the country & western music playing in the background was a bit miserable for a Wednesday lunchtime, but you can't please everyone!! Happy to have tried this place and will certainly add it to our repertoire of venues for a work day lunch. Keep up the good work Malatso. Paisley needs more places like you .

Visited for first time with intention of just grabbing a coffee, however the menu was so reasonable we had lunch! Soup & sandwich at £5 was a large, hot and very tasty bowl of soup with a generously filled panini (you can have toastie, sandwich or panini). Staff were friendly and food came very quickly despite it being busy. It would seem the owners are also very public spirited - a free festive lunch was being offered for anyone in need of company on Christmas Day, and there was also a 'doggy menu' meaning patrons could still grab a bite to eat even with their pets in tow.The cafe itself was nicely decorated and very welcoming, and although it is quite small inside, it didn't feel cramped as some places can do.Will certainly go back if I am ever in Paisley town centre and would definitely recommend this wee gem to friends.

Stopped in for brunch today. Food was nice, interior is lovely and staff are friendly. Service was a little slow, we sat with empty plates for a while and had to go to counter to order deserts but putting it down to it being busy. Dogs welcome, although we don't have our own was nice to see other people with theirs. Kids also very welcome, staff chatting away to two young kids. Portion sizes were good, and reasonably priced -£20 for two mains, two portions of pancakes, two soft drinks and a hot chocolate. Will be back.

I had lunch here yesterday with my friend (who is a regular customer) and I am kicking myself for not having visited sooner.The food was good, the coffee was amazing, the service was friendly and the prices are very reasonable for a town centre deli cafe. I'll definitely be back.

Was in for lunch today really friendly staff, good food. Dogs welcome even a doggy menu. We will be back xx

Saw online that this was somewhere not only dog friendly but served dog food so we decided to try it out for breakfast. Food was great as was service! There was a relaxed feel about the place and our dog who can be fussy when eating ate the entire bowl which was put down to her! Will definitely visit this local again!

Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised when I choose a café without knowing anything about it.We has a fruit smoothie, French toast, bagels and tea and coffee. All were very good and I'm sure that the rest of their food would be of similar quality.Nice relaxed vibe and music and the guys that work there were also characters.We like.

Everymorning I go to the coffee shop and the staff always know what I won't is a latte and I always get a go talk for the staff I have to say most friendly staff they always make me feel welcome keep up the hard work best coffee in paisley

Love this little haven. Paisley is sadly lacking in quality these days but deli Malatso is a diamond in the rough. Cute and clean, great staff (I think the owners work it) and the food is wonderful. Pancakes, French toast, amazing coffees, all deli style food at great prices. Another selling point being they care about their town and the people in it, donating regularly to food banks and stayed open on Xmas day giving FREE Xmas dinners to homeless people. It's quickly become one of my fav things about Paisley! Highly recommended!

Always welcomed with friendly staff. Jen is a gem and always smiling :-) Russell is usually our server and is always enthusiastic and chatty he is a credit to the business. He makes the best breakfasts and lunches :-) Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

This wonderful family friendly place right on the High Street is one of the best places in town. Everything is wonderful from the food to the friendly banter.Malatso is a gem in Paisley - love it

I have been going to Malatso since it first opened. The staff are really friendly, the food is really good and they always have a brilliant selection of cakes.

The hot chocolate with a lot of cream and marshmallows is excellent. You can get tasty lunch as well and the prices are fair.

Good food, great hot chocolate with marshmallows! Cosy and busy, sometimes live bands. Great for a wee visit.

Anyone visiting Paisley really should visit deli Malatso, even if it's just for a coffee and a sandwich. You won't regret it!

Great place for a good coffee and a wee bite to eat. Great relaxing atmosphere and the staff are some of the best. Always make time for their customers, so cheery and welcoming.

I've been visiting here when I'm in Paisley for the last couple of years and have always had a very pleasant experience all round. Best coffee in Paisley (and I think I've tried all Paisley's cafes), great Scottish breakfast rolls, and their cream of mushroom soup is especially lovely. Very child-friendly, and as a parent and a uni student, the student discount is well appreciated. To top it all off, the staff always have a genuinely welcoming, friendly attitude that you just don't see in most places, they do their best for me and the kids every time and make each visit a pleasure. Brilliant!!

Visiting Paisley for the first time in years and the weather is awful. Seen this little cafe and popped in for relief from the weather! What a fantastic find!! Food, Service, Atmosphere - the whole package. Brilliant - well done guys x

Was working in Paisley and spotted this place on the way past and thought I'd stop in for a coffee. Have to say I was impressed with the friendly welcome, the decor, plentiful seating and the great selection of cakes! I decided to stay for lunch and had a tasty bowl minestrone of soup and a toasty. Brilliant.I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Paisley.

I sometimes stop into Malatso for a coffee or lunch, the coffee is excellent and I often enjoy the soup. The people whom work there are pleasant and attentive, particularly nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

Visited here recently with a handful of friends from uni and we all loved it.You can get the regular food available anywhere in Paisley e.g soup and a toastie made to your specific requirements, but there's unusual choices like burgers, hot dogs, macaroni etc which do set it apart from competition in the area.It's pricing is reasonable.They give 20% off to students so I will definitely be back.One downside was that it doesn't offer free WiFi as many other cafés in Paisley do. But I wouldn't let this get in my way.

I needed to get takeout for myself and my granddaughter while staying at a nearby hotel. Went here as it was very convenient and the weather precluded walking far. What a lovely little place. Service was first rate and very friendly. The sandwiches I bought were wonderful but the chocolate caramel tart was to die for. Highly reccomended

Coming from the town and on such a nice day. I passed the cafe and thought it would be nice to pop in and sample their food. ( I'm a lover of toasties ) But on seeing their little menu card, I thought a fried breakfast would be on order.Sadly it wasn't to be as I asked for a breakfast with ingredients they didn't have ( so whats the point in offering this as a selection )I went for the toastie option...I Made sure I asked if their would be any dressing, pickles or mayo on or near my toastie...I was assured their wouldn't be.The salad was drenched in brown liquid and so was the 7 crisps that came with the toastie.Wish food servers would stop doing this to food and just offer up little accompanying dished on the side.The guy serving was pleasant enough.Sadly the decor is so dated and the general place was grotty, so bad I couldn't really tell if the light shades were cream or just filthy.A call to the local environment department is in order methinks.Sorry to any visitors to paisley...However if you do want something nice to eat. and eat it in a clean place. nip across the road to the Leasureland cafe.The fried breakfast is fantastic and it's cheaper than malatso. Plus they have all the ingredients for it! SO 10 / 10 to them from me.

Unfortunately we only have time to have a coffee, a chicken sandwich and a caramel shortcake. Everything was absolutly delicious.... Food and service were amazing thanks to Jen :) . When we go back to Paisly we will go there for sure!

Little cafe just on the high street and always a good option for a meeting or a quick break Good coffee, nice staff.

Was there for lunch today very nice ,good menu latte lovely and chilli very tasty a nice place to eat staff really friendly

This is where my friends and I always go for a catch-up over coffee. The coffee, food and desserts are all lovely and the prices are good too. The staff are great. There's also some outdoor seating for the rare sunny day.

I visit Malatso for lunch on a regular basis. Great menu choices and variations according to taste supplied as requested. Good atmosphere with friendly staff, local information, books and newspapers!Outside seating as well.A really good place to visit.

I eat here often, The staff are all lovely and friendly, every meal I've eaten here has been tasty, especially the soups of the day, usually more than one to choose from , all home made. The cake choice is great too, and I confess to trying most of them! The choices of teas and coffees are better than most places ive been to, as they really listen to their customers, If you make a suggestion , they usually take it on! If you can, please try Jen's home made lasagne!

I had been traveling in The Hebrides for three weeks, but was staying in Paisley, so as to be close to the Glasgow Airport. This wonderful place was on the Corner of Orr Sq. and High St., gorgeous day, so I sat outside over one of the best cups of coffee--ever! I also devoured a scrumptuous dessert, but the coffee was what I clearly recall!!!THANKS FOR THE QUALITY OF COFFEE AND AMAZING ARRAY OF DESSERTS!

Lovely coffee shop for sitting and watching the world go by! Very friendly staff and great coffee! Good source for local information on events etc. Malatso is taking part in Paisley's Live Music festival 1-7 September 2014.

Simply the Best !!The friendliest staffThe tastiest foodThe best pricesIf you haven't been you don't know what your missingGet down there soon

Wandered into this wee gem of a cafe by chance. Great home made soup and fantastic pastrami sandwich was washed down by the best latte I've ever had.I nearly jumped for joy at the change I got from a tenner!Will be back!!!
