The best coffee pastries and atmosphere in town. Since day one I felt welcomed and well received, as I always belonged and the staff members have been treating as a brother. Friendly environment and great service, I happy to say that is the best coffee shop in Guildford. I became a regular and I will definitely see you guys again soon.

Just wonderful! Just wanted a coffee and decided to try. Oh, my goodness me...so glad we did. Wonderful selection of Greek food, nibbles; sweet and savoury. Absolutely lovely man (I assume the owner) who explained everything - real attention to detail, with pride a care. We had latte and a tea with baklava and a savoury. Will return - would suggest they do a Greek pastries cookbook (if they don't already!) - I would buy it! Thank you.

The service here is fantastic, I had a house viewing and the rain at the time was horrible so I ducked in to wait it out. After 30mins of waiting the staff gave me a free drink and pastries. Incredibly kind gesture and when I offered to pay they refused. The pastries were great and the service even better.

As a lover of baklava I decided to try the baklava from this place and I found it to be overpriced for what it was, I paid almost £4 for a slice and I really didn't enjoy it very much, maybe another day I'll give a different pastry another chance but the baklava would not recommend them.

I have been longing for great Bougatsa since returning from Corfu six weeks ago and it was practically on my doorstep! The selection of Greek pastries here is incredible and we left with a carrier bag full of greek boxes of joy! A super friendly lady served us and after learning it was our first visit here gave us samples of two of the most popular servings, Bougatsa amd Greek Cheese Pie, two of my favourite Greek pastries, the lady couldnt have picked better things to give me! Both were incredible, great food and service, if you are in Guildford anytime, stop here.

We were given a lovely sweet pastry to sample and my sister ordered this for desert. She said it was the nicest pastry she’d ever had! The tea was good too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I bought some things to bring home and I will definitely go back next time I visit my son in Guildford.

After sending Sheron off to the train station, Leya told me that she wanted to introduce me to a nice coffee shop that sells delicious Greek desserts, pastries & excellent coffee. The coffee shop did not disappoint me at all.It was a quaint shop & we decided to sit outside since it was a little stuffy inside & not much room to move about. I had ordered an Americano but somehow it tasted different. Not sure whether it was the coffee beans that they use or the outdoors that made it taste differently. Whatever it is, I had enjoyed my cup of coffee. The 2 staff behind the counter were friendly, accommodating & easy to talk to. They obviously knew Leya & had struck a conversation with her. When she told them that I was visiting from Malaysia, one of the stuff gave us an additional big plate of dessert which was on the house apart from our order of baklava. I was quite surprised at such hospitality & kindness shown. I truly enjoyed both desserts. Since it was quite a lot, Leya had told them to pack the leftovers. She gave them to husband & son, Chris & James for a late night supper treat. I would definitely visit Fresco DeliKafessen again if I’m in the neighbourhood. There are many more Greek pastries & desserts to treat my tastebuds! Besides, I’m all for reciprocating a good deed indeed. Kudos to the owners! They really know how to differentiate from the rest. Excellence in F&B and of course, great service & hospitality.

This place is as independent as a deli can be, i would say that it is more of a cafe though. It is popular with Greeks who enjoy a touch of their familiar food made authentically. It is tiny with limited seating capacity inside, but have pavement tables mainly used by smokers. But if you like all your desserts soaked in honey. Then you may wish to pop there for a visit.
