Delico Deli in Rhondda Cynon Taf

lovely place, nice food and drink. decor was delightful. one big problem for me was the dirty tables. i moved twice but even then that was also dirty...........

Really comfortable seating great cuppas and lovely polite young women.

Friendly staff and good quality coffee and food

I am a visitor to Aberdare from another country and was directed to try Deli Cafe for a really good cup of coffee. I was very disappointed by the lack of service that I encountered. I entered the shop and stood at the counter where three staff were busy, but talking amongst themselves. I did not like the way that I was completely ignored , but this attitude of not acknowledging myself as a customer really irritated me. So I simply went to another coffee shop with good customer service. I admit that I only stood at the counter for less than a minute, but being an ex cafe owner myself (retired), I feel the least you can do as employees is to acknowledge a customer who is waiting, with a simple 'be with you in a moment sir'.

Found this place today. How did we miss it before?! The food is lovely (had tuna mayo salad and it was delicious and plenty of it). And the coffee is to die for! We'll definately be coming back.

Great coffee and amazing red velvet

Quite a nice looking cafe from the outside and plesant on the inside too. Unfortunately, there wasnt a warm welcome. As the time was 4.25pm I asked if they were still open and one waitress behind the counter, without looking at me said yes but all that is available is in the fridge there and pointed to the display fridge. I opted for a tea and slice of walnut cake. It duely came. The tea was tepid and the walnut cake was rock hard. One of the other waitresses was busy clearing up ready to close at 5pm. I pushed the cake away having only taken a mouthful and having spotted the uneaten cake, she never thought to ask if everything was ok. I got up and walked away, leaving the tea and cake... It costs nothing to be plesant

Nice coffee, nice atmosphere and clean. Recommended.

Great little place to sit and watch the world go by,friendly competent staff

Hidden gem of Aberdare town, Great coffee and at atmosphere.

If your ever in Aberdare this little cafe should be on your to go to list. Lovely food , lovely place for single, couples, or families and a cracking laid back atmosphere throught. A wide range of beverages and foods and good team behind this establishment. Highly recommended

Went here for the first time. Had toastie cake and cup of coffee. Came very quick. So delicious. The waitress was lovely. The person serving was a bit abrupt. Busy I think. Definitely be returning.

Lovely place for a coffee and snack..

Love this cafe, love the decor and the chilled vibe, great food and service.

What a little gem. When we saw it from the outside, we thought it was an old smoking bar, but we walked in and what a lovely little place, what a vibe. We had the tuna melt panini and small cappuccino. Good portions in the tuna melt, as much filling as bread. The toilet isn't disabled friendly as there are steps up to get to it, but nicely decorated for a single person and has a red light, green light system so you don't wait in a queue. Brilliant. Very warm atmosphere with a real buzz. Loved it

Lovely cafe n nice staff but very very small coffee cups n very very small panini's..very bad value n very clever way of upping yr profits by decreasing portions n increasing prices. Wont be visiting again... better value places for eating out in aberdare

very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere, me and my friend came here after receiving our results and the staff were enthusiastic to hear about them, it’s very cozy inside and cute tea cups aswell

Excellent cafe and friendly service rhys at front of house made us feel very welcome. Will be back for sure. Great coffee too

We had tea, bara birth, strawberry tart and juice. Lovely atmosphere, excellent quality food and drinks and good price. Definitely value for money.

Great little place. My favourite spot

Always lovely coffee, welcoming staff lovely atmosphere my favourite coffee shop in Aberdare

Best coffee I've had in a very long time , will be back

2nd time to visit this cafe and definitely the last. The male serving was as miserable as can be, not a smile or warm greeting. Started to give our order when he abruptly turned without waiting for us to give the remainder. Overheard the lady behind the counter asking if we wanted the apple pie warmed and his reply - whatever.

Beautiful looking cafe, bloody good cup of coffee and the cakes looked amazing.

Found this place unexpectedly and so glad we did, amazing food, the decor is lovely and cosy and the customer service here is brilliant. 10/10, exceptionally clean!!

we came to this cafe on our college break, we sat outside at first and then came inside as it was raining and cold, when sitting down the owner came over and questioned if we were buying anything to which we were, when ordering my pot of tea for one, i politely asked if i could have an extra mug for my friend due to not having enough money for the pot of tea for 2, the owner said i wasn’t allowed an extra mug and that we had to drink from the same mug, so i explained i didn’t have enough money, he then went on to say we had been sat outside for 20mins and didn’t order anything, we then continued to get stared at and felt more of an inconvenience than customer, we didn’t cause any trouble and just simply came to revise. we were then shouted at and kicked out. Other customers agreed that this was not acceptable

On walking past at end of day on Saturday 22nd October I asked if I could use the toilet. I have Multiple Sclerosis & needed to go imminently to avoid soiling myself. The man in charge said "no, the toilet has been cleaned and bleached!: I have never been so insulted or witnessed such a HUGE lack of compassion in my 3yrs of living with ms. I will not be going back!

A lovely find great atmosphere, food is good interesting surroundings, which will make one chuckle Staff are helpful and friendly It really worth visit

A lovely calm time spent at the deli deco, options for sun and shaded seating indoor and two outdoor areas, smoking and non smoking. Photo one: Earl Grey tea, summer 2022, Photo Two: Homemade butternut squash and carrot soup of the day with a roll, Delicious delico.

Good coffee. Decorated with tons of character, especially love the animal heads on the walls. Delicious looking cakes, and wide range of teas. Comfortable indoor seating and some outdoor too. Nice option to have

Nice little deli and café with pleasant staff and an olde worlde feeling about it. Good deli food and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit.

Visited this place on a recent visit to Aberdare, beautifully decorated with comfortable seats and an amazing little deli. There are so many options you'll be spoilt for choice. I settled on a latte, sandwich and some lemon cheesecake. The sandwich was served on beautifully fresh bread with plenty of filling, the cheesecake was perfect I couldn't have made better myself. Sadly the latte was a let down, very weak and tasted watery, it quickly hit the bin. The customer service leaves a lot to be desired however, gentleman behind counter was very short and not very welcoming. It's this that would stop me from visiting again despite how good the food is

Clean cafe good food good service

Attentive service, wonderful eye catching array of nick nacks and bits and pieces of interest. Lovely coffee and cakes.

Very welcoming staff amazing quality and top class service and customer service. Prices are reasonable and the decor and atmosphere is out of this world. I forgotten how much I loved this place but after a quick visit on the weekend with my partner I will definitely be making more effort to visit more often as this is one of the gems of Aberdare.

Always a lovely place to enjoy a beverage and a wide selection of beautiful cakes, quiche, and patisseries. Inside and outside, front and back seating available. Beautifully decorated with clocks and gifts with a fun sense of style. Flour and condiments such as jams, marmalades etc to buy instore. Also have introduced a traffic light system for the use of the loo during covid, always in pristine condition and background music with newspapers available to read on the day.

Nice coffee, tasty sandwiches followed by an amazing cake selection. Mmmm. Be back for more.

Pleasant staff, well decorated dining area, good coffee, tasty sandwich and amazing cake selection. Mmm. Be back soon.

A beautifully newly re-furnished coffee shop which in itself makes the visit worthwhile. Hosts Paul & Rob make you very welcome with lots of laughs. Coffee is great and cakes are fabulous - all freshly baked on the premises. You can take your time and are never hustled. New seating is very comfortable too. A special place in Aberdare.

Best coffee place in existence 👌

A really lovely coffee shop, something a bit different, with the best decaf latte about

I would have given this place 5 stars because the food and decor is amazing. The service is diabolical because the man behind the counter is so miserable and needs customer service training

Very nice boutique coffee shop with a lovely atmosphere, lovely pastries , cakes and daily soups

Lovely food but disappointed with the service very rude man that works there and over charged no manners

Nice toast and very good coffee. The lavatory lets them down badly. An ugly metal sink, barely bigger than a cereal bowl, and tasteless, borderline offensive decor. It's also overpriced, they could drop their prices slightly.

Excellent coffee, reasonable snacks, lovely environment, Delico is a lovely place to go and just chat have a coffee and relax. Aberdare is coming up in the coffee culture.

Lovely place, always so welcoming and friendly staff. The decor is beautiful too.

The food was excellent very nice

I love the Deli, coffee, cake and food in general is amazing. Loving the old music ambience too.

I love this place, it is the perfect place to unwind. The food is lovely and well presented and the seating is so comfortable and relaxing.

A lovely cafe and amazing food. Keep up the good work

Ambient and quirky cafe, great coffee, cakes and savoury pastries and fab homemade soups in winter. Sells unusual jams, curds and chutneys and local greetings cards etc. Great decor inside - go to the toilet for an arty treat!!

Always have great food at the Fat Seagull

Found this little gem, just by chance. Loved the seating and atmosphere on entering the cafe. Then the miserable person behind the counter, too difficult to acknowledge us. Clearly had a bad night previous, he looked with scorn and a scowl. Clearly shouldn't be the face to this cafe. Plenty of potential, but lost on his attitude and demeanour. All it takes is a hello and a smile

My favourite cafe in Aberdare. The decor is very quirky and they offer a wide selection of drinks, delicious cakes and sandwhich and other lunch options for a reasonable price. Lovely unique atmosphere, something different to visit in Aberdare. Love it there!

Stopped here on a bike ride. Delicious bacon sandwich, coffee and scone. Would recommend it.

Absolutely love coming here, a bacon sandwich and a pot of tea is become a weekend regime. There's so much on offer though and the atmosphere is relaxed, kitsch and friendly. Cannot recommend enough!

Lovely atmosphere and really nice freshly made snacks

There is lush cake I do recommend you try the Red velvet cake, they give fair sized slices and they are home baked. It's delicious! I go after school for a quiet tea and cake and the reason I love delico deli is because their furniture makes me feel cosy and at home, they have big comfy armchairs that you could sit in all day. So if you have had a lon day at work just drop in to try a piece of cake for the lowest price of £2.00

Great place . Comfortable and lovely food!

Lovely atmosphere, comfortable furniture, tasty food. Recommend the Tuna Melt.

Best cafe around. Tea in a proper teacup and saucer! Amazing cakes amd the salad and pies are to die for ! Love the quirky deco and the lovely arm chairs! When can i move in !!

Comfortable surrounds and a relaxing coffee

Love this place for my cupa & can't resist a cake

Great atmosphere & One of the best cappuccinos in Aberdare & a Nice selection of cakes. Really friendly owners and always a warm welcome. So lucky to have this wonderful place to go to in Aberdare.

Large airy cafe, pleasant staff, good menu

Asked for a salad panini or toasties because I can not consume cheese ect, and he said sorry we are not doing any salad today. Even tho the other gentleman was making up ham SALAD rolls. I asked if there was anything wrong with the salad that was being used, and he said they are not doing any hot food today as the paninis are frozen. I was snubbed at every corner. Even tho they was serving toast?! So gave up. Have not felt so discriminate against in such a long time, gutted.

Lush food . Great atmosphere. Well worth a visit

I go. There. With. My. Friends in. Aberdare

Friendly and coffee fab I'll be there again

It's a nice place to meet up and very cosey there

Who would have know this place exists around this place omg I didn't want to leave ever the food is amazing and the coffee 8s out of this world my daughter and I would happily move in there . Staff are so friendly and spotlessly clean will be going back again without a doubt . This place is a piece of heaven

I love this cafe. This town has so much potential. The only pleasant place to eat and drink. Let's have some imagination and transform aberdare. Let's have more upmarket unique shops. Not cheap shops some class. Council need to transform the bridge that's the first thing you see coming to aberdare. I was gutted to see deli closed today one of the few reasons I like to visit the town. Hopefully council will sort these issues out I don't want them to close permanently. It is so true aberdare has so much going for it. Had to go into a greasy spoon I was not happy. Hope your open soon.

Needed a bite to eat and a drink after a strenuous job moving daughter. Discovered Delico Deli. What a Fascinating place with its unusual decor and theme, Staff pleasant helpful, very clean. As for the food a nice menu at very good prices. PANINI and cappuccino under a fiver. Certainly I will use again. Highly recommend. .
