Duke Street Sandwich Deli in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I was down visiting my mum in Cornwall and we decided on a shopping trip to Truro. Mum had been telling me about this sandwich deli and we decided on it for lunch. I went for the quiche of the day (Brie & Cranberry) and 5 salad items. Very tasty and the salad was super fresh. Mum had a BLT sandwich which was so filling she could only manage half so she took the rest home and enjoyed it later that day! My caramel latte was huge too! All great value.

We stopped here for a coffee and because the sandwiches looked great we came back for lunch. I would recommend the Brie and Cranberry panini also the crab sandwiches . This is a hidden away gem of a place and I aim to eat here again when I come back to Truro.

Wonderful place to stop for a sandwich. Reasonable prices and good value for money. Choose from ready made or options to make it just the way you like it. The service is good too. With friendly and helpful staff. Eat in or out. Recommend this place to anyone!

Fabulous menu healthy and unhealthy menu. The salad was absolutely beautiful. They have favoured teas . The food there was amazing it had chickpeas and they do curry, salads all variety.

Amazing choice of food, reminiscent of a french cafe with the tables and seats outside. Excellent value for money.

Lots of fresh salads, sandwiches and panini on offer which looked very appealing. A few tables inside and same outside but also clearly popular as a take-out cafe. Quick service and with a welcome smile!

Great to have a hot coffee, good price point for a flat white, sandwiches looked lovely too Ideal position in the centre of town

Such a pleasure to find a freshly made sandwich shop. Bread and produce totally fresh and tasted amazing. Lovely seating under the tree in the sunshine. Lovely service an absolute pleasure to visit. Thank you ladies. X

These guys provided us with a catered lunch for load of overseas visitors up on the farm this week Everyone was really impressed, we got lots of compliments and I have to agree I thought the sandwiches quiche and desserts were top-notch I would recommend

Delicious cheese salad sandwich today - crisp, fresh salad and a generous quantity of cheese. All the sandwich fillings are enticing, and the salad bar is spotlessly clean, being wiped down while I waited for the sandwich to be made. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My sandwich today was a meal in itself! Many thanks.

This sandwich deli has a wonderful outside seating area offering shaded seating and suitable if you have dogs with you - the food was fresh and they had a good selection of ready made and made to order, hot and cold sandwiches. The staff were friendly and helpful - a real little gem.

Me and my partner have walked past Duke Street deli many a time and have always said we would visit. And now I can't quite believe we left it this long! Custom salads and sandwiches which are absolutely delicious and at good value. We will be making this a staple in our lunch time endeavours!

Advised by our concierge to head here for a quick lunch bite and left happy. It's a small cafe with a limited menu but the sandwiches and salads served are made fresh and with a smile. We shared a giant pick-your-own salad bowl (maximum cost £5.60) which filled us both and was full of variety. There are small tables outside. Don't dare go to Costa or Starbucks when you can eat this well at a local, independent deli.

found this cafe by accident whilst cycling in Cornwall and taking a small diversion through centre of Truro, lovely staff, very friendly, great service and excellent food, great position with a view of the cathedral

Lovely little spot in Truro - great if warm enough to sit outside and watch the world go by. Limited seating so it's pot luck but well worth the visit if you can

Walked past this quaint and well presented deli many times and have been tempted to pop in for a bite and a drink. Today , thankfully, we finally tried it out. Wow! Amazing bacon & chorizo filled jacket potato for myself and goats cheese & roasted veg filled jacket potato for my wife. Both perfectly cooked and generously filled and topped with grilled cheese. Nice large cups of great coffee followed, all served on spotless tables with spotless cutlery and the friendliest of staff you could wish for. Thank you, we shall certainly be regular customers.

what a lovely lunch. Sandwiches were delicious in tasty bread and fresh crisp salad. The coffee was lovely too. We will visit again the next time we are in Truro

After a visit to the cathedral we stopped here for lunch. Socially distanced queue to order. Food and drinks delivered to our table in the lovely outside seating area. Lunch was delicious and staff were friendly and efficient. A little gem!

We visited with our two kids and dogs today. The ladies were amazing, so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing - the sandwiches and salad were some of the best that we have ever had. It’s a shame we don’t live locally otherwise we’d be regulars!

Good quality food and friendly staff. Was very happy to find this place.Salad was fresh and very tasty, witha large choice to choose..Coffee and hot chocolate was yummySo all the family were happy.Thanks you for serving us in theseDifficult times. Dog friendly too

Very friendly service, excellent food at a reasonable price and pleasant little spot for eating al fresco in the centre of Truro.

Bought a ciabatta today, extremely dry had to eat with a knife and fork (left half of it). Chicken definitely not homemade. Over £5 for the dry roll and packet of crisps. I have been here before in the last few weeks since working in the town and I tried a ciabatta as the sandwiches (tuna) were barely full. I'll go back to the sandwich shop next to the cinema from now on. Home cooked chicken and amazing bread and ciabatta/foccacia (think Baker Toms). Also cheaper! I will try other stuff as it does look good but not for me with the sandwiches :(

Choice of food is excellent, and they will adapt recipes, not very big to eat inside, but is lovely to sit out in the better weather and watch the World go by, They make things to order, always lovely and fresh, busy area for food in this area of town,

Wow! Perfect gem of a restaurant, all homemade wholesome food, served by loveliest ladies, all helpful Quiche was amazing with salad choice, the flavours were outstanding and we were still talking about it the next day Give it a try! Small and cosy, perfect luncheons

After a morning walking around Truro and visiting the Cathedral we were looking for a light lunch and fortunately found this deli! It was a warm day and we were pleased to find a table in the sitting out area. Lovely salads with a great choice and good value too. The service was friendly and helpful.

We stumbled upon this sandwich deli and had the most amazing food. The salads were so very fresh and varied with an amazing vegetarian selection. I just wish we lived locally as I would pop down every lunchtime! Delicious!

This is mainly a take away deli with a small amount of seating on high stools at the window. However the menu is excellent. If you cannot see what you want they will make it to order. Brilliant panini and salads. Worth waiting for a seat.

Prima voor koffie en lunchgerechten. Aardig terrasje voor de zaak op een kruispunt van smalle wegen in Truro. Op de achtergrond de klokken van de Cathedral. VriendelijkeService. Order aan de bar. ( geen WC)

Good sandwiches lovely coffee fine for lunches - nice little outdoor seating area and enough room inside if it;s raining and you cant face going back to work yet!

During my lunch break today I wanted something quick and stumbled across the duke street sandwich deli! My salad was so delicious with lots of selections and the girl who served me was so friendly and lovely!

Had a delicious tuna mayo sandwich which was very yummy! Lots of choice and all well priced. Also serving clippers tea which was just what I needed! Kay, Kellie & Sianne were all very friendly and attentive. Lots of outside seating which is perfect in the sunshine! Would definitely recommend and is one of my top favs!

We love this little shop, I ordered a large selection from the Salad Bar for £4.90 to take away which was Delicious. The noodle salad is to die for!!!

My sister and I wanted to find somewhere that did take away salads, since Be Juicy closed, so decided to try here on our lunch break. We both chose a large take away chicken salad box... this turned out to be a tiny little plastic (not ideal for 2019!) box, with chicken that seemed to be from a packet and not fresh. The salads to choose from in the bar were ok, but for £6.40 we were both disappointed and found the salad to be overpriced, small and rather tasteless with poor chicken. You can get a salad twice the size for £4.50 from Kessels Kitchen in Falmouth with much tastier fillings and nicer coleslaw. Probably wouldn’t return unless I was going to try something different that was less expensive.

Excellent choice for grabbing that lunchtime snack. Made on premises I believe with good ole home baking

Been a few times to this deli, the staff are friendly and are accommodating to your needs. Lovely food and great coffee.

On many previous visits to the deli we’ve always had very good food and drink, but not today. We ordered two black decaf coffee’s which when they arrived looked suspiciously cloudy. On tasting it was hard to say whether it tasted like tea or coffee. We decided not to drink them and told the staff as we left that they tasted terrible, we were offered replacements but declined and left.

Whilst on holiday in cornwall we came across this little gem of a place tucked away down a side street whilst wandering through Truro.

Had a jacket potatoe that was bearly warm with Tuna, nothing special, and the potatoe had been there for quite some time.

I come in here when I'm craving a top end jacket potato, and the only time I leave disappointed is when they've sold out! The Tuna and Spring Onion jacket potato is to die for, the tuna is mixed in with the potato inside and the melted cheese on the top is delicious. If you have salad go for the coleslaw as it pairs wonderfully. I don't know how they do it but it's amazing! The ladies who work there are always cheerful, and the card machine is contactless for extra bonus points. One thing I might suggest is using less plastic in their take away options, as the polystyrene tubs + forks etc could easily be replaced with cardboard & wood for a more environmentally friendly option.

A good sandwich is hard to find, but here tucked away in Truro is an outstanding sandwich maker.

Sandwiches are really tasty and coffee is nice but you must try the potato salad it’s fab . Great place for vegetarians.

Lovely deli, great for a fussy mum, dad and 2 fussy children, very accommodating to all our needs. I had a lovely homemade quiche with selection of deli salad 😍

Vi este lindo y pequeño deli y fuimos para un almuerzo rápido. Precioso interior, personal amable y sabroso queso de cabra gratinados. Espera en la comida, pero leve estaba ocupado y obviamente muy popular! Lugar perfecto para ver el mundo pasar y disfrutar de un bocado

This is a busy little cafe serving good snacks, sandwiches, salads etc. We stopped for a panini which was very nice, but the salad options looked very tempting as well. We will call again and try them the next time we are in Truro.

He estado aquí dos veces antes y mi primera visita fue genial. Me dieron un plato de ensalada por £2. 70 comer en y el servidor me permitió llenar el tazón bien con pequeñas cantidades de una variedad de opciones, que era preciosa y bien vale la pena.

Llamamos a almorzar en una fugaz visita a través de Truro. Yo tenía una salchicha y cebolla mermelada sandwich tostado, mi marido tuvo un queso azul y frambuesa sin gluten sandwichera, ambos estaban deliciosos. Me estaban haciendo un rugiente comercio de llevar ensaladas y sándwiches. El personal era muy servicial. Realmente recomendable.

always greeted with a friendly smile when the weather is nice good seating area outside .plenty of choice foodwise. they have a loyalty card system where you get a loyalty card and every time you visit you get it stamped and when you have full card you get a free hot drink good healthy food and a nice setting in the heart of truro town

Vegan options were limited to salad, so although their smoothies were made from frozen fruit rather than fresh, Duke Street Deli ice cold fruit and veg smoothies were a welcome, chilled refreshment on one of the hottest days yet effectively dropping my temperature. After my...

Sat outside in the sunshine on one of the 4 or 5 tables. Had a salad bowl and able to choose 3 or 4 different fillings. Added the crayfish with ginger mayonnaise for one pound extra, and it was delicious. Great service in a small...

Siempre hemos venido aquí para un almuerzo rápido y la comida es muy buena. Sin embargo, el servicio que acabo de recibir me recordaba de uno de esos juegos en la sala de juegos donde se intenta tomar un peluche. Piensa que tienes algo, pero...

Tenía comida ligera aquí hoy y qué encontrar. Gran selección de ensaladas y sándwiches. Excelente relación calidad-precio sin duda volveremos. Ojalá hubiera tomado una foto ahora, hay que poner algo de uno.

Really pleased with this little find. Not large but a good selection of salads, rolls etc.,So many fillings to choose from the things made up, if you don't fancy those, they will make some up for you, nothing too much trouble. A few seats in side and plenty more out if the weather is nice. Service very good will definitely call again when back in Truro. A lovely city and plenty to keep you busy for a day.

Had a great lunch here with the family! Staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them! Totally recommended!

Sat on the corner of Duke St and St Mary's St, an independent cafe serving great sandwiches with all the best ingredients as well as home made snack bars such as rocky road and the like...Some outside seating on the cobbles makes for a pleasant eating experience.

Very nice little Deli with lots to tempt you . I would highly recommend if you want something on the go.Friendly and helpful staff .

Use this little place a lot for a coffee and sandwich when in Truro . Friendly staff and great salads . The only problem I find are the very uncomfortable outdoor green furniture to eat your purchases . Looks nice but uncomfortable and the chairs don't look that safe to use . Need to invest in decent customer furniture before a customer has an accident . Just a thought !

I always seem to make the Duke Street deli my first calling point when arriving in Truro after a lengthy bus or train journey. It is very conveniently located for the bus station (more distant from the railway station. Try home made soup and a wide range of fresh sandwiches. It is very popular for the office workers at lunch times and while a lot of the trade is take away, there are a number of high stools around for those who prefer to eat on the premises. Very friendly and helpful staff. Local newspapers provided. A firm favourite.

Great little find, the food and coffee was excellent.The staff who were rude and ignorant in one of the reviews ? must of had the day off or been dismissed.The girls in there today were lovely. We will be back.

Areal gem in the city ,tucked away , inside seating and outside tables if the sunshines..Tasty choice of sarnies, hope made soup recomended as well ..always good to eat in or take out .

Whenever I am in Truro I usually get a jacket potato with roasted veg and goats cheese, and a side salad. The salad is freshly made and is delicious, other days I get a panini which are also great.

Ate here with my partner and both had a quiche salad which was very tasty but staff attitude was so bad. No other customers there but had to wait ages whist the 3 giggling staff decided which one would take our order. The young girl who finally took our order was cocky and rude whilst the other 2 staff sniggered in the background. Coffees were sat on the side and eventually served to us after we had finished our meal. Maybe because it was Saturday there was little/no effort to value our custom?

We had lunch here sat outside which was a lovely sun trap. The sandwiches were freshly made, the granary bread soft and delicious with a plentiful filling. The tea and coffee were equally good. It was busy and the staff were clearly pushed, which they let show, but otherwise delightful.

We were gearing up for a 3 hour drive and wanted a nice lunch. We had soup and shared a panini and a salad bowl. Everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the variety of fresh salads they offered. The service was excellent. If I lived in Truro, this would be a place I would frequent.

I should start this review that i am not a greedy person. But the for the price of 1 ham sandwich and 1 ham roll i expect them to be of a filling size. Been here many times and not sure if its new managment but felt a little seen off today. Service is always friendly and it is in a nice spot of town with some outside seating in the shade.

I really like this little Deli and eat from here usually once a week!! The staff now know me but even before we're really friendly and helpful. The food is lovely and the paninis *my favourites* are wonderful and in no way stingy with the fillings!! Although I have not eaten everything there everything certainly looks very nice and yummy!! 5/5 would recommend this place and will certainly go again... Probably tomorrow!! :)

Just to start i am no way a greedy person but this deli is one sandwich short of the picnic. We ordered a roll each and i also order a piece of quiche. The quiche was so small it wouldnt have filled my 18 month old son up. The rolls were the part baked type and again tiny. We paid nearly £15 for that and a drink and was left somewhat disappointed. I am local to Truro and there are much better deli / sandwich bars which offer much better value.

Good little coffee shop on a nice quiet street. 2.20 for a latte2.90 for hot chocolate. Outdoor seating area - which is shaded. Good table service. Nice staff. Good coffee.

good, clean wide variety. perfect lunch stop . breads always super nice which is always a bonus, looking for cheap nice take away food. here it is

It is always a delight to visit the Duke St Deli, having just got off the bus into Truro, after a long journey. Excellent freshly made sandwiches and good quality coffee, always accompanied by the friendliest service. I return here again and again because quality is consistently excellent. One always finishes revitalised.

I've got my lunch here on a number of occasions and I've always been impressed. The sandwiches are very fresh with great bread and some very interesting fillings (I love the crab). They are slightly pricier than some of the other places in Truro but they are so good that its worth the price. The stuffed jacket potatoes are amazing too (and again, something a little different) as is the salad bar. I guess my only complaint would be the lack of seating. But it's so close to my work place it's not an issue for me generally.

Friendly and welcoming, serving fresh salads, soups and sandwiches (stuffed potato is of note too!) Best Cheese and Ham Toasted sandwich around. Place could use a bit more space and seating as there is very little inside, if its a nice day there are more tables outside though. Never had a bad sandwich there, and the soups are interesting and tasty. If they are busy it can take a while to get your food.

Always a treat, gorgeous salads but highly recommend the sandwiches which are generous and varied with quality ingredients.

We stop here for a coffee and breakfast cake at the start of our visits to Cornwall and it never disappoints. The coffee is excellent and the staff friendly and welcoming. Its also great to support a coffee house which is not part of a massive impersonal chain. We will keep going back!

Had an excellent lunch here today. My wife enjoyed a tasy homemade quiche and I had an excellant chicken and chorizo sandwich. The service was quick and everything was very fresh. And excellant range of salad to chose from and generous portions which you can control.

all that was missing was a alcohol licence glass of wine would of been purfect, sandwiches really packed with fresh filling, also salad bar is fresh and have lot's to choose from

Just on off chance popped into this little sandwich bar omg brilliant ...We had a small bowl of salad each and some sandwiches very fresh so much variety from a little jem staff fantastic nothing to much trouble even wrapped up my sandwich that I couldn't finish great place (truro little gem)

Good sandwiches to go & to have made up. Tasty selection of salads. Service is friendly and prompt. My favourite place in Truro for takeaway sandwiches for lunch

I have eaten in here twice. Both times for a quick lunch and both times I have been impressed by the quality of the food and the very good and friendly service. That in itself would warrant a five stars but I saw something the other day that made me want to give it a six! A man was standing on the street corner opposite the deli, where he had obviously been for many hours, when someone the deli came out and brought him a nice cup of something hot as it was cold out. How lovely.

My boyfriend popped out to get us some lunch this afternoon, he decided to try the Duke Street Deli. He ordered us a bacon and sausage baguette each. He brought them home (only live a short walk away) and when we opened them we found a baguette each filled with ONE sausage cut into 3 bits and ONE piece of bacon each...£4 each!! I understand its a deli and they are a little bit pricier but come on...plus it was the kind of baguette that was part baked that you can pick up from tesco for 50p for a pack of two!safe to say that unfortunately we wont bother to go back there again.

I love the salads from here! Someone recommended I try them and I am so glad I did.The price is fantastic and you pay a little extra for things like cheese or tuna but it's worth it.So happy I found this place!

After reading the reviews, I wish that we had chosen sandwiches! Our jacket potatoes was prepared earlier and reheated on order. Unfortunately they were stone cold and we had to ask for them to be reheated again! When we got them back they were almost inedible. It was a shame because the choice of food on the menu was excellent, Salads were made up on request. There is a small area outside for eating, the staff were friendly and the prices were ok.

Our favourite sandwich shop ever, always make the best sandwiches, we would go every day of the week if we could, we travel 30 miles just to have a sandwich and a coffee. Always pleased to see you would highly recommend.

Preferred choice in Truro for sandwiches, etc. for lunch. Plenty of choice and all freshly made to order and to your liking. Not the cheapest, but certainly the nicest.

A real gem of a place in Truro, great food, awesome coffee and really great friendly welcoming staff:)I only wish it had more floor space!!Go, you will not be disappointed, I love it there:)

Tasty sandwiches with good quality ingredients. Service is always attentive and friendly. Has a small area to sit outside during the summer and a few stools inside too. Good to have the local papers!

Love this place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Truro and it's crowded streets. Great staff, always smiling and welcoming. Remember you if you have been before. Great outside seating area too, best sandwiches too

We regularly have our Saturday lunch at the Deli when we vist Truro..food is always freshly made and use local produce when possible, staff are always nice and friendly as well, seating indoors or outside under the trees !!Salad bar and soups are also excellent..worth a visit as you will not be disappointed okay !!
