I Calabresi deli caffe in Croydon

Antonio the owner is very pleasant and the coffee is high quality. You need to ask for what you want as there is no show case to choose.

I Calabresi is a charming Italian deli offering a wide selection of dried goods and sweet treats. We went for breakfast and whilst no breakfast is served, the coffee is decent and the staff is friendly. The interior could use a refresh, but the authentic Italian products make it worth a visit.

Great little Italian cafe / deli. Nice range of Italian produce to eat in or take away. Service is excellent.

My friend who lives in the area kindly took me here where we had some sweet treats and some hot drinks. The place is small, but welcoming and friendly. Staff check in with you, without being intrusive. Will certainly return.

Went in as it was recommend to me for picky eaters. Brought 2 pizzas he said he could get them ready for 430... I come back at 430 and pizza is ready (not like those big shops that say a time and arnt ready) .. Lovley staff polite and helpful.. 2 picky children are over the moon with their pizza very tasty. Definitely taste its home made. Fluffy. And perfectly cooked... defo going to be going there regular.

Delicious Coffee friendly staff

Excellent food particularly the home made pizzas. Great atmosphere!

Great food, coffee, banter, and service. Would recommend to anyone

Friendly, local and stocked with good produce. Nice ice cream.

Lovely place to stop for a snack and food is always tasty and the hottest coffees around!

Lovely little cafe/shop/ restaurant, owner was delightful. Food lovely, definitely will return xx Had to get some takeaway cannoli too.

Food was brilliant, I’m a massive fan of Italian food. Never been disappointed on any of my previous visits here. Will definitely be heading back here as soon as I can

Lovely little place with great service and selection. Would definitely recommend. Caters for vegans well.

Always a pleasure to visit this cafe/deli. Fantastic selection of authentic Italian food. The paninis, ciabatta and sandwiches are made to perfection with plenty of filling. The lattes are great too and all served with a smile by Antonio. Do not miss visiting this deli!

A very nice authentic Italian cafe. Have been a regular at I Calabresi and i must say the food is absolutely fabulous. The paninis are really good and i do recommend them.

Amazing place, lots of great cheese and salami's, great knowledge on italian food, would highly recommend going here

Great Italian choice of favourite deli products as well as specialist sweet snacks to have with a coffee from Antonio whilst choosing a variety of Italian basics and good selection of wines!!

Another great espresso at I Calabresi Excellent coffee at any time of the day Great choice of Italian biscuits And from time to time there are new entries to appreciate! I always enjoy the easy going atmosphere Bravo Antonio

My absolute favourite expresso! Antonio is a real coffee connoisseur. Cosy ambient, friendly atmosphere and rich selection of Italian products make I Calabresi a must-go destination

According to one review, from another deli,not in Coulsdon, the cheese and meat are rancid and dirty, well my husband and I must really like the rancid food and dirty cafe as we keep going back for more! All i have to say is, I know who you are, GET a LIFE!. 5 stars to Tony And Caroline.

Really friendly local, great supplies and pizza dough as well as freshly baked pastries. We will be back!

Really nice authentic coffee. Very pleasant owner of cafe. Very good deli. Could have spent a lot. No pressure. Nice atmosphere reccomend. Will be going back it is popular with the locals xxx

Mixed experience. The coffee was the worst I’ve had in a long time - tasted like overly hot, tasteless water. The cakes/Italian snacks were nice - not made on the premises though. The paninis looked good and I might give it another go and get one of those to take away.

Fantastic friendly service offering authentic Italian flavours and ingredients. Plus the best coffee in the area!

Warm welcome and great coffee. M

Tony always delivers a great service with a fab selection of delicious Italian deli products. He will go out of his way to supply you with your favourite items & gives great advice if you fancy trying something new.

Is really good proper Italian food. Small place at the other end and no parking.

This is a unique cafe that not only sells great Italian food and drink but provides a relaxed atmosphere that brings the community together. This was owner Antonio's intention and it definitely works! The food is freshly prepared and delicious, also reasonably priced. I love my tomato and mozzarella paninis but there is so much more! You can have a quiet coffee and take time out or you can chat and pass the time of day with other regular customers. Either way, you'll come away looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommended.

Regularly go there for the best coffee in the area. Antonio is a prince amongst men, a very hospitable host.

Good coffee and pastas. Good price.

Staff very friendly and serve good strong italian coffee.

Lovely ambience, reasonably priced drinks and food..friendly owner. Would recommend and visit again.

The shop is a bit old and not been taken care of that much. We've been there for a coffee, which was ok and we also had a couple of little typically Italian pastries which were ok too. Also, we decided to buy some of the products that were kept in the fridge: Mortadella (a kind of Italian ham), salami and a scamorza (smoked cheese) to make a home pizza dinner at night. The waiter cut it in front of us, then we bring it home (15 minutes driving) and a put straight in our fridge. When we opened the Mortadella, the same day, the smell was terrible and it was disgusting, maybe the shop kept it from a while and they couldn't sell it and the salami same thing... Unfortunately we had to make a Margherita as we didn't want to be food poisoned. I didn't expect the same taste of the one I use to buy in Italy but I didn't expect to be so terrible as well. We've been only once and that will be the last!!!

I go here most, as it’s my local. Have been with school Mums, as a family, with friends, to special events in the evening (not normally open) & with husband - tried many things, food-wise mostly & never disappointed. Antonio is really friendly & helpful. It’s also got a lot of Italian food/treats/deli counter as well as being a cafe.

Antonio is a Fantastic Freind is 5 ⭐️👏👏

Very good food coffee not to bad.

Always loved going to I Calabresi since the beginning. Antonio has always been a genuine kind man who has done very well. Good coffee and great food.

Antonio is fabulous- he’ll make exactly what you want from what he has, just ask. Great coffee, service, chat. Somewhere I’m happy to go alone which is rare, but equally meet with groups (networking) & husband and/or kids. He also holds great value evening Events sometimes & hosts small groups- just ask!

Fabulous place to visit and have a lovely chat with the owner Antonio and his wife . Very welcoming and lovely place in chipstead valley road. You can also buy Italian wine and food and bread. Always pop in when we are out and about

Love the atmosphere and the people who frequent this caffe.

Lovely atmosphere and serve an amazing hot chocolate!! Kids love the ice cream! Really friendly staff in a lovely setting

Lovely food, great service. A little bit of Italy.

Fantastic Italian deli and cafe that welcomes you with a smile and very welcoming. Great drinks and delicious paninis. We tend to get lunch and then buy Italian bread and pasta. Great place to visit

Stopped in after work and had a toasted sandwich and two wonderful pastries for my desert one filled with Nutella and the other with pistachio. The sandwich was filled with a variety of meats and was lovely. Give it a try

Nice and friendly place to sit down for a drink and bite to eat and also perfect to pick up some pasta, cheese, meat and wine for tonight's dinner

I visited recently and really liked the friendliness of the service and authentic Italian cuisine. They serve lovely bread and cakes, also do nice Italian sandwiches and rolls. Coffee excellent too

Excellent local deli/cafe. Antonio is a great owner with innovative ideas. Good for children too.

A small but super place to eat and pick up anything from cook at home pizza to cold meats , oils and wine. I have got all the above items in the last year or so. Come sit down and talk to the owner, this is a very good place for any need you have.

Great range of food for a small place and good prices. Really nice relaxed atmosphere, My daughter had Ice cream for breakfast!

Have used this deli extensively over the last couple of years and the service has always been superb. An ever increasing range of Italian foods and wines which always hits the spot. Great place to enjoy a coffee, pastry and chill

Stopped in here with the children for a quick drink and ordered myself a hot chocolate. I have never tasted anything like it!! It was truly amazing, it was genuinely the best hot chocolate I have ever had in my life! I urge you to go and try it!!!!

I visited this cafe for a panini and coffee after just moving to the area. The staff were friendly and the coffee was excellent. Recommended!

This lovely little deli cafe is great, the owner is friendly and accommodating and has a box of toys to keep the children amused, the ice cream is amazing and the food is delicious!!!

Great place for a fantastic panini and a coffee. The owner is friendly and even allows my dog in. Sells great pasta, sauces, and other Italian groceries which we pick up when we can. Hosts wine evenings that we plan on trying out soon. Two thumbs up!

This is a fantastic deli tucked away on Chipstead Valley Road. The coffee is good and the Rustico pannini is a favourite of mine. A good stop off before or after going to Rickman Hill Park!
