Upscale, high quality, delicious offerings that add a lot of charm to the Great Shelford experience. Don’t miss the Saturday morning baked goods sale, where fresh artisan breads and pastries are on display for the perfect morning snack. For daily lunch, the offerings include quiches, salads, cheeses and scrumptious pastries, each a lovely taste experience. The shop also includes a diverse selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as homewares, massive candles, all topped off the cheerful, smiling staff. All food items are take away only as there is no seating in the space, and just across the street is a large park perfect for picnicking.

Despite one of the photos, the Deli is no longer a sit-down eatery. It has a modest (but well chosen) selection of cheeses and other deli foods - all prepackaged, not portioned to order - plus a kitchen that makes hot and cold take-away foods. There are some reasonably nice breads, although not sliced. They will reheat their pizzas (etc.) to order. Which cooked foods they have at any given lunchtime seems a bit random. You might find (rather good) pizza one day, Spanish omelette another, and so on. You can usually rely on some kind of salad being available too. That's just one part of the Deli, though. The two other main parts have gourmet sweets, snacks and cooking ingredients, and housewares. But I need to address the elephant in the room, which always needs a big label. And on it is written: "PRICE!" EVERYTHING in the Deli is expensive. Don't even think of going in if you aren't comforably well off. It seems aimed at customers who would happily get their groceries in Fortnum & Mason, if it were not so inconveniently far away. A hot takeaway snack or salad will set you back £7-8. A confectionary bar, £5 or more. Homewares are firmly in the "Fancy Christmas gift" price bracket for most people. This is why they lose a point on the score. What they sell is excellent, but to my mind is (shall we say?) cheekily priced. Now, to be fair: if you want to pay Tesco prices, walk to Tesco, a short distance away. The Deli probably isn't for you. I just don't want someone to make a long trip, only to turn back when they see their lunch wouldn't be much less expensive if they ordered at a local restaurant. Having said all of this, one thing you'll never complain about at the Shelford Deli is service. The staff are uniformly lovely, and will go out of their way to help in any way they can. Arguably, this goes with the luxury bracket, but it's genuine, not forced, and very nice to see.

Visited a couple of days ago. Lots of nice packaged foods - pickles, oils etc. we had hoped for a range of artisan cheeses but were disappointed. Good range of veg especially tomatoes and aubergines. Lots of gifts but expensive. Bought some Benghali chicken. Tasty but expensive £12 for 375g. It really does have a wide range but there are other quality delis about. All said we probably would go back.

I cant lie, the almond croissants are the best ive ever had. Ive been going to the deli for around 6 years, i miss the jarvis sandwiches still to this day. However, the prices are getting ridiculous, almost making it unaffordable, i would love to shop organic and local but the veg and meat.... And cheese is so dear, its such a shame.

We were very surprised to discover that our local deli, which has recently opened on Friday evenings, now does not only great pizzas but also gluten free and vegan ones. We had a lovely evening there recently with family and friends. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff were friendly and attentive. We will be going back there - often, hopefully! Should add that it doesn’t stock all the deli food it used to. It is open as a cafe in the day and I have always found it welcoming but a tad expensive. Plus the menu seemed to stay the same for years and the gluten free cake they did was too sweet for my liking. BUT the pizzas were not more expensive than anywhere else and were MUCH NICER than most places. It’s the best GF pizza I have ever eaten, and I had some very good ones in Sicily!

This place clearly isn’t what it used to be. It’s not just a new menu, but a new attitude as well. You can tell that by the lack of customers and bored staff. However, how they are still open is really surprising. The coffees are served lukewarm, the ‘gourmet’ pizzas are inedible and the staff couldn’t care less. They really need to shut down so that something worthy of the lovely neighbourhood can replace this depressing space.

I appreciate having somewhere in Great Shelford to NZ drop in for a coffee, but I'm in two minds about this. There was nothing wrong with my Americano, a generous cup served with hot milk on the side. However the chocolate and raspberry brownie was solid and heavy, rather than crispy on the outside and moist within as a brownie should be. Also a couple of pounds more than I would expect to pay at other coffee shops in the area.

The deli now appears to be taking second place to a full meal service. I popped in for a coffee and a snack lunch and was surprised at the limited choice available. The menu appears to have changed recently and now offers a selection of full meals rather than light lunches - such as a slice of quiche etc. That said both the coffee and cake I had were very good but not what I went in for based on previous visits.. Parking is available in the nearby car park and there is both indoor and outdoor seating.

I went for lunch with 3 members of the same family. The menu was mainly pizza type dishes and a few other meals all under the 'salad' umbrella. A little pricy I thought, but, in Cambridge that is sort of expected. What put me off was a salad on the menu not being something for eating in the café. A Greek salad was requested by one of the party. A box was served. No plate, but a take-away box. A plate was requested but a we were told that this item was only for take aways, and was not to be eaten in the café, unless extra money was paid. Why was a take-away item on the café menu?? Get your act together deli people! A menu usually shows the items for eating in, not for taking away. The food was quite good, but not really worth the prices paid Disappointing

Firstly, the place is crazy overpriced. They have all manner of reasons for this, but the empty restaurant and disgruntled staff certainly speak for themselves. The food is mediocre at best, and no matter how ethical sourced the produce is....is tastes pretty ordinary. You order at the till and pay. No problem with that. However, this means that despite complaining about our lukewarm coffees, nothing was done and no apology given. They have our money by this point, no clearly they don’t care about quality. I visited with a pregnant friend who asked if the cheese used was pasteurised, the lady cook in the kitchen was too busy to respond. However, the waitress did try to ask. The pizza that eventually arrived was dry as board with a minuscule array of over crisped/burned toppings. By this time, there really was little point in complaining as even the one pleasant member of staff had disappeared.

I recommended this to a friend as I ate here at the end of last summer and was looking forward to doing so more times this summer. I was shocked at how much the place had changed...and not for the better. On my last visit they had a good selection of salads which were delicious and fairly priced. This occasion could not have been more of a contrast. There was no sign of salads or food visible and no menu board to choose from. We didn't get sight of the menu until we got to the head of the queue. Also the adjoining high-quality food shop had disappeared and become just one fridge in what was now a side seating area of the cafe. In the end we took the menu away and sat down to choose before queuing again. Most of the menu is now pizzas, mostly in the £13-£15 range which is very expensive for a village cafe. I spotted a 'seasonal salad', based on beans, in the fridge for £4.50 which was just what I wanted and similar to what I'd had last time. My friend chose a salad off the menu and we went to order. I pointed out that I would like to eat my salad in so was happy to pay VAT and a cover/plate charge. I was told that would then be £11.95. "£4.50 to £11.95 for eating in?" I queried while pointing out that I was unable to eat a large portion so the salad I'd chosen would be great as clearly an £11.95 version was going to be huge. I was then told that it was only the same size salad and with some lettuce added but that they had to charge me £11.95 to eat in. I tried discussing this further but was just abruptly told that it was £11.95 or not if I wanted that salad. Having dragged my friend a long way to meet here I didn't feel able to leave so easily but wished I had. In the end we shared a pizza which was £13.45. It was a nice pizza but I have no intention of returning here ever again. How sad that a seemingly successful business can change so rapidly to such a poor one. Even soup of the day (the cheapest item on the menu) is £7.95. This is a village in Cambridgeshire, not the centre of London. Although I've eaten much better food for a lot less even in the centre of London.

This was our first time here and was a little confusing which entrance to go into. Partly complicated by some pushchairs outside and picnic table which partially blocked the entrance. (There is a space for pushchairs to go, however it was full and appreciate this is out of their control. However, if someone needed extra assistance, it is cramped once you get in and you would've had to move other people's things) The look and decor is really tastefully done, has a feel of shabby chic vibe and a baby blue accent colour which is really nice. It is flooded with natural light and has plants tastefully accenting the space. The seating area is quite crowded and could do with one less table. Toilets were clean. They was a steady flow of local and regular customers - which is always nice to see. There was a wide range of ages and the staff were very friendly and efficient. They don't open tabs, so that was slightly frustrating as we wanted to order some coffees and then get some cakes a bit later - but not really a big deal as I just paid twice. Would be more customer friendly if tabs could be opened. Went outside to check the outdoor seating area to the rear and was disappointing. Looked like the place where the old furniture is just dumped. It is spring and on a nice day people will want to sit outside. There was a Wendy House for the children to play in (nice touch). However, looks like all the thought for decor and ambience went on the indoors. We had coffees, one was soy (soy & oat options available - great!) and cakes, one was a carrot cake. With the carrot cake, I don't recall the card describing it stating that the frosting was cream cheese based. If we had seen that, we would not have ordered it. The cake itself was light and tasty, but not keen on cream cheese.

I live locally and am a loyal customer to the deli but was very disappointed when visiting recently with my 6 month old baby. A member of staff very abruptly told us to move our prams outside to the buggy park - this despite 2 of the babies being asleep in them and us moving chairs etc to make sure they did not block any walkways. I was happy to love mine as baby was awake but didn’t appreciate the manner in which we were told to do so which was bordering on rude. As a first time mum it didn’t make me feel very comfortable. I know a lot of mums and babies visit the deli regularly and it would be great if staff were more accommodating.

When working in this village my colleagues and I were looking for somewhere to sit down and eat a meal. We decided to give this bistro a try despite its very pretentious appearance - the chalkboard outside stated, amongst other claims, that here within was ‘food with a purpose’. I may have missed something but I have always understood that all food had a purpose. Unfortunately the food on offer within did not serve our purpose, that of sustaining us through the day working outside in sub-zero temperatures. ‘Artisan’ means ‘smashed avocado’ and other trendy treats as opposed to anything substantial. The offerings were all rather expensive in my view, on a par with Central London prices. Not what I expected in this sleepy little village.

Solía ser un visitante frecuente de la tienda de delicatessen. Buena comida, buena elección, ambiente encantador. Fui hoy después de una brecha de unos meses. ¡Que decepcion! Se ha convertido en una pizzería con comida y servicio mediocres. Ninguno de los deliciosos productos anteriores estaba en exhibición o disponible. Las ensaladas que mi amigo y yo teníamos no eran nada especial y no eran mejores que en docenas de cafés a los que podía ir en el área de Cambridge. Mi ensalada se suponía que era una ensalada de pasta, pero en su mayoría eran verdes empapadas en salsa de tomate. Ah, y el personal más decepción. Solían ser super amables y acogedores. No es así ahora. Sin sonrisas, sin saludos. El mostrador no tenía personal durante mucho tiempo. La pareja en nuestra mesa estuvo de acuerdo con nuestra opinión. Expresé mi opinión en el mostrador y no recibí ninguna disculpa ni preocupación, solo una respuesta que estaban haciendo muy bien. Creo que tienen suerte de ser el único café en Shelford. No volveré Qué lástima.

Hemos estado yendo a la tienda por muchos, muchos años y siempre nos ha encantado la comida. Estábamos tristes al escuchar que muchos de sus maravillosos platos que habían sido nuestros favoritos ya no se servirían, aún debíamos venir y probar el nuevo menú, así que el sábado pensamos en probarlo. Pedimos una de las pizzas artesanales para compartir y nos sentamos a esperar a que llegara. La pizza llegó y se veía hermosa, las coberturas eran claramente del mismo nivel que los viejos platos delicatessen y sabían bien, la base en sí era promedio, pero claramente no estaba destinada a ser la estrella del espectáculo. Para 15 era caro, pero al menos no me decepcionó en términos de los sabores que hemos llegado a amar de la tienda de delicatessen.

We've lived in Great Shelford for 5 years and have eaten/shopped at this Deli countless times. We always used to enjoy our visits and were happy to pay a bit extra for good quality food. Sadly, I completely agree with other reviews that suggest the new menu now seems geared towards generating excessive profit at the expense of customer satisfaction. The menu now consists of overpriced pizzas and a very limited (and expensive) cake selection. Gone are the sandwiches, sausage rolls and scotch eggs that you would expect to be able to order at your local deli.

Popped in with my travel mug for a take away coffee, trying to do my bit for the environment. They refused to ‘accept the mug into the kitchen area due to health and safety reasons’ as they didn’t know what bacteria it might have on it.

I visited this cafe for the first time in July ’18 for a work reunion get together and went back again for a brief visit last week. It was certainly the perfect setting for the reunion. There was plenty of space, including a large garden and a semi covered open barn area with seating. It has a lovely, relaxed, home for home atmosphere about it and the coffee is fantastic (Monmouth Coffee company). I haven’t tried any food yet, but judging from my companions' comments, I got the impression it was also very good and I will definitely be returning soon to sample a full lunch. It’s also a great place to stop off before or after a walk up on the Gog Magogs hills, although you would need a car for that!

Dunno where several recent reviewers were eating/drinking, but I found the Shelford Delicatessen to be lovely and clean with a fantastic atmosphere and wonderful staff. I unfortunately only discovered it 20 minutes before closing time, but they were only too happy to make me a delicious peppermint tea and I didn't feel rushed or unwelcome in any way. Wish I'd had more time to explore and see the range of foods and other items they sell, but there certainly seemed to be lots of good things. It's the sort of place that makes you want to come back and support them again. I certainly will next time I'm in the area. Thank you!

Our experience here was so bad that we can't let it pass without comment.

We visited this deli on several occasions and mainly for breakfast, we truly enjoy their yoghurt with homemade granola, a touch of honey and apple compote and the coffee is good too. We never stayed in for lunch although I fancied the options they had on the board, everything seems to be prepared with fresh high quality ingredients which makes it a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it. They also have a good selection of Italian specialty pasta and homemade cakes that look delicious. You should keep in mind this is not a mainstream shop but a delicatessen therefore prices might be on the high side but once you find something you love you'll be back for sure!

I have been in for a cake and a coffee on a couple of occasions. The food is pretty good but I do find it expensive.

We came across the deli as a lunch stop a year ago on our first visit to the area and have been back many times since we moved to be local. A lovely spot for lunch and I frequently pop in for takeaway coffee (okay and cake!) as the coffee is delicious. The takeaway lunch options are also great, and I go out of my way to get lunch here.

Coming to Shelford on a very cold day (it was 1°) we knew there must be a cafe for tea and cakes and all things yummy. My faith was rewarded on discovering the deli and on arrival my heart gladdened on opening the door and seeing a lovely open light space with big rafters, velux windows and twinkly lights. My yippy feelings spilled forth surveying a delightful scene of shelves laden with goodies. Yes we had fallen upon good times, or so I thought. My glee became a bit more muted on encountering the tall young man on duty behind the counter. Well he looked as he might be on sentry duty, and not too impressed by me and my partner. I reckon it was down to us being hoodies, he clearly hadn't got the message that we should be hugged metaphorically if not actually. Disappointment began to sweep in. However we rallied ourselves and ordered tea and Bakewell tarts. Well not cheap obviously but reasonable at a tad under £11 I think, or so we initially thought.

I have visited this establishment on a number of occasions most recently for my husband’s 40th birthday. This place is a real gem and our community are very lucky to have it. Delicious freshly prepared dishes, responsibly sourced ingredients, knowledgeable staff, great service and lovely atmosphere. I am never disappointed and in reference to the previous review , never confused ! The best restaurant in the world may have gone to Yorkshire but the best deli in the world definitely goes to Shelford !!! Well done Team Deli. You do an amazing job.

By chance passed by with a colleague and saw a busy deli so called in, nice vibrant environment upon entry but instantly met by a confused state. Did I order, pick up a plate, queue, pray, not sure? yes there was a sign to say what to do but I just felt a little bewildered -sorry.

Visité aquí hace un mes. Tiene un encantador ambiente bien iluminado para un café con una cantidad razonable de descanso. Pedí dos cafés con leche y una porción de almendra y frambuesa, que eran de gran calidad pero muy caro a más de £9! No...

Me detuve en una tarde para tomar un café y un tentempié. El Moka era deliciosa, pero la tienda Crumpet era increíble. Creo que hacen todos los pasteles en la casa, y no puedo esperar a volver y probar más!

Caro para lo que ofrece, pizza gris. El servicio es lento. Directora grosero. Diabólica. No volver

. . Qué más se puede pedir! Este es un pequeño deli y café con una gran variedad de sándwiches, ensaladas, bocadillos y pasteles, complementado por un buen café. No había nada demasiado como.

Yo estaba buscando a alguien para atender 60 cena de cumpleaños de mi esposa. Necesitábamos estar en casa ya que teníamos nuestros nietos pequeños que vienen. Nos instalamos en el Deli shelford como la variedad de comida era buena y nos permitió pedir un número de los distintos platos. Nos catering para 10 adultos, pero el personal era muy servicial con el tamaño de las raciones que necesitábamos. La comida estaba bien preparada y empaquetada con buenas instrucciones. Todos los huéspedes realmente disfrutamos de la comida. Recomendaría el servicio de catering y, sin duda, utilizar la tienda para futuros eventos.

Comida fresca - tortas y las fechas particularmente agradable, pero demasiado caro. Cafés por debajo de la media, teniendo en cuenta el precio. Mejor café de días a unas puertas, o 50 p para un café y galletas en el mercado (si éxito el derecho día miércoles por la mañana).

Vi una foto de un stroganoff de setas en un anuncio recientemente que provocó esta revisión. Lamentablemente la realidad no se parecía en nada a la foto.
