Smithies Delicatessan in Angus

50th birthday celebration, made to feel so welcome from the start of our evening to when we left, absolutely amazing staff, amazing gin selection & great food. Seriously didn’t want for anything .

I only had 20 minutes between bus and train and the staff were happy to serve me a delicious soup and that with a smile! Lovely attentive service in an amazing vintage venue which alone would be worth a visit. The shop looked great, too. Very grateful to the railway employee who sold me my ticket and recommended the place! Such a pleasant and surprising find!

Found this hidden treasure by chance and what a find it was! Lovely friendly staff and food great too. We had a lovely relaxed lunch of beautiful homemade asparagus soup and shared the anti pasti platter. Free refills on filter coffee a bonus too. Can’t wait to come back - without the car next time so we can have a little tipple or two.

3 of puss popped in for a baguette before heading down to Gayfield to watch the football. This is a lovely place with a warm atmosphere. The staff were all so friendly, and the baguettes were perfect and very tasty. A lot nicer than a pie before the game... A must Delli to try out...

Had coffee and a scone here while waiting on a train. Scone was good, coffee was ok, service was good. Its a nice old butchers shop and worth a visit for that. As a coffee shop its a bit cramped but very handy for the Station.

Had a delightful lunch, lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff ,wonderful cakes. Look forward to going back very soon. Highly recommend.Good value too

Really lovely food. Small selection but what you receive is high standard. The shop is really nice too if a little overpriced.

Lovely friendly service, great value & good vibes. Relaxed lunch visit today but have enjoyed a delightful evening here too.

Popped in this morning with our 2 grandkids. What a lovely cafe! Great coffee, superb cakes and the kids enjoyed the hot chocolate. If we had more time I’d be going back for lunch as there was not one thing on the blackboard that I wouldn’t love to try :) staff were so nice too. Definitely recommend

We decided to have lunch in Smithies on the spur of the moment. The only problem we had was on deciding what to have from the menu. I eventually decided on the ploughman’s with my wife having a panini. Both were really good with being able to pick a cheese of my choice from the deli a really nice touch. Everything was fresh , good quality and tasty. The waitress who served us was very efficient and polite. We finished off our meal with lovely lemon cannoli which melted in the mouth. Definitely a place we will revisit when in Arbroath.

This place is superb. It’s a gem that you might not expect to find in that part of Arbroath. There is a very large selection of cheeses and gins (including Smithie’s own Arbroath made gin) and there is always someone on hand to talk you through the detail. The staff are always incredibly polite and well led which means it’s always a really nice atmosphere. I’m a big fan of the ploughman’s and ask the staff to choose the cheese. The soup is always an absolute bargain too!

Fantastic deli with everything you could need - cheese and chutney galore! More importantly a spectacular range of gins from all over the world as well as a good selection of other alcohol. Friendly and helpful staff with super knowledge! Lunch is also fantastic - especially the cakes! Must visit in Arbroath!!

Smithie's in Arbroath was recently recommended to us by a friend. My wife and I were very impressed with the menu choice and the selection of lovely homemade cakes and scones. Food is served by very pleasant and efficient staff. Smithie's in Arbroath is now a firm favourite for a light lunch or coffee when we are in Arbroath.

This is a great place to visit friendly helpful staff shop has items of memories of a former butcher and dele Well worth a visit for a coffee and delicious homebaking

This shop is in a great area and is the best deli in Arbroath also a great place for coffee and cake.

One of our favourite shops in Arbroath...if you want to treat yourself to a new bottle of gin...Smithies is the place to go! Great range of Scottish gins including quite a few local ones. They also have a few scottish vodkas to choose from. Deli counter has a good selection of cheeses. Staff are very friendly.

My mum and I had a lovely time visiting Smithies recently, we stopped in past to browse their wide selection of gins and cheeses. I had a delicious baked potato for lunch while we were there as well.

The service was so friendly and with a smile, very chatty friendly lady who took the order promptly and the wait was hardly noticeable. I browsed the cheese selection but unfortunately didnt have the time to sample the cheese with the huge gin selection. I will return at a later date to sample those

We met a friend who recommended Smithies Coffee Shop to us, and we are so glad he did. On entering the shop/cafe, we were taken aback by the vast selection of Cheeses and Gins. We sat down to order our coffee, and what a selection there was on the menu of Coffees, Sandwiches, Baguettes and Paninis, also home baking. We ordered 2 Lattes, one Fruit Scone with Jam & Butter and one piece of Fruit Loaf & Butter. Everything was very good. The small cafe got very busy, but at no time was there any pressure on you to hurry up. The deli, itself was exceptionally busy, as expected at this time year.

Went to Arbroath for the day, Google sandwich Arbroath and this place popped up. What a find. Amazing baguettes, great cheese selection, and they had tonnes of really special gin/rum for the tasting nights they do. Top!

Conveniently situated across from the Railway Station, Smithies is an attractive Deli and traditional tea room in what was a former Lipton's shop and still has the beautiful original tiling on the walls, along with some quirky decor. The staff are delightful and the food delicious (the wine's not bad either!) and gluten-free and veggie options are available.

Nice cosy homely cafe with fair pricing and good sweet bakes. We didn't have meal but they looked pretty good too. Shelves full of gin for sale, so go there if that is your tipple, or just to be amazed by the range available.

My first visit after my wife had been previously. Situated in what looked to have been a former butchers shop there are plenty of things hanging up within to keep you interested whilst you enjoy your meal. Very busy during our visit with diners & also customers coming in to purchase from the large selection of cheeses & gins available.

Probablemente no habría ido en aquí si no hubiera sido con la gente pero bien vale la pena una visita. Preciosa taza de café y bocadillos muy sabrosos y tarta. Vale la pena una visita más tarde como nunca había visto tantas marcas diferentes de Ginebra en todos mis días. Gran lugar para visitar.

Home made soup lovely bread served and fresh food staff friendly and helpful with suggestions for lunch

Se recomienda ir a una empresa de Smithie local y estuvo a la altura de todas las expectativas y más! Opción de 3 Inicio - sopas hechas (no está mal para una pequeña cafetería! - TUVE UNA) Sopa marroquí que era inusual de especias y absolutamente deliciosa y con preciosa casa pan hecho! Servicio excelente, rápido, eficiente y amable. v También un montón de interesantes artículos de delicatessen para la venta. . . Prueba! Julia

Como una parada rápida almuerzo visitamos Smithis la semana pasada. Pedimos un panini y tarta con una gran taza de té todo era precioso. Es genial que no es un lugar enorme, pues el servicio es muy rápido y el personal es muy agradable. La elección es genial desde sopas de patatas al horno y que a menudo hacen noches temáticas (gin mmmmmm) bien merece una visita

Excelente comida casera! Ideal para sentarse y tomar distancia. También hace un montón de botellas preciosas de gin puedes comprar! El personal es siempre amable!

Come here often for lunch , staff are always very friendly and polite and the quality of the food is good, top recommendation is the honey chilli chicken panini !

Excellent range of cheeses some of which we had never heard of before. Huge range of gin and other spirits and wines.Helpful and knowledgeable server. We will be back to try the cafe.

Love going here especially for my cheese carryout, staff are really lovely, food very healthy and filling. You can sit in or carryout. The shop has a range of specialities, everything on their shelves, gins, wines, vodka, cheeses and other foods and if it is not there Patti will try and source it for you.

Visited the other day for lunch with a friend. The food is always lovely, whether it be soup, sandwich or coffee and cake.The soup we chose was cheesy sweet potato. It was delicious.

Lovely little cafe with really nice friendly atmosphere! The soups are fresh and wholesome and the sandwiches are delicious. Good variety of items on the menu and if you're a fan of gins or cheese, pop in and see their huge selection!

Lovely place, good food and very friendly staff. Ample selection of cheese and I loved the decoration.

A refreshing small delicatessan/cafe. Were looking for somewhere for a coffee on a saturday afternoon. Decided to have a bite to eat, my oat cakes and selection of 3 cheeses was very good. However, my husband ordered a prawn sandwich on brown bread, a large white roll arrived with prawns on. He was hungry so didn't complain but I would have done. Overall a good experience and will return to maybe leave the car at home and try their impressive selection of gins.

Love coming here wether it's to buy speciality foods/beverages,have a hamper made up or a coffee and cake,it's a lovely wee place,brilliant helpful staff. Xx

original tiling has been kept in this very interesting tearoom & deli. I like to get hampers made up & they have a really good selection of bottles as well as a full fridge of deli delights. great menu for sitting in too, with special evenings on , check out their facebook page for details.

Love coming here,often pop in on my way to work if I've time. Love the homemade soup,fab staff and great place to get gifts or hampers for special occasions .

I often meet friends for a very quick lunch, this is the ideal place if your time is limited. Not somewhere to sit chatting for a couple of hours.Tasty soup and sandwich and free refills of coffee service good, staff friendly. Would recommend to others

My local, visit most weeks and can't fault it. Friendly, welcoming staff, delicious paninis and cakes with free top ups of coffee too! Have tried a couple of the themed nights they do and they are great, can recommend the gin tasting especially!

I love this place so much. It has literally got me through the last year at college. Having visited pretty much a minimum of once a week - a group of 6 - I can confirm that the amazing service from the lovely, hard working staff, the deliciously, mouth watering good food and the comfortable friendly atmosphere is a top standard constant! The soup is always delicious, the cakes are to die for, fantastic cheese and booze selection and the staff are so accommodating with any dietary needs (even if you're a dairy free, pescetarian who doesn't like spicy food and demands tomatoes on the side of their plate!)I will 100% be back to visit, repeatedly!

Popped in here for quick coffee. Staff were very friendly and service was great. Varied menu with plenty choice. Coffee was just what I needed and they give a top up too! I chose a pancake ( staff pointed out that it wasn't made by them but the scones were) It was lovely and so was the jam. Before I left couldn't resist buying smoked cheese from Deli. Staff informed me that they also do Themed Evenings and as they have a licence, alcohol can be purchased and cocktails at these events. Smithies deserve every success as they work very hard to cater well for all their customers. Will definitely be back!

Our train was cancelled so we decided to pop for a tea and with smithies being just across the road it seemed a good choice! We just had 2 cups of tea but it's a lovely cafe with a variety of options. My friend who's a foody was in heaven looking at all the speciality foods.

Love the themed nights at smithies. Staff are lovely and food is ace. Would recommend to book early for themed nights as they booked up quickly

After spotting the greatest little board outside the coffeeshop I had to pop in for a cup of tea. Wide selection of tea's of which I had the peppermint which came in a generously sized teapot, especially for £1.40 The only thing that I noticed when I first walked in was the overwhelming smell of cheese, but of course it is a delicatessen so it will undoubtedly smell of cheese. I for one just am not a big cheese fan so it didn't sit to well with me. I did however get a small love heart chocolate with my cup of tea and with it being valentines day and all it was rather sweet. Oh and one last point would be that there was no radio or music on which left it rather eerily quiet.Apart from the quiet and smell of cheese it was a lovely experience!

I frequent Smithie's fairly often, either on my own or with friends. Lovely friendly greeting and quickly served, homemade sponges absoulutely to die for . . . .

This friendly deli has an excellent selection of the best Scottish food and drink. Well worth a visit for a nice coffee and some shopping. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I visit with friends from time to time for either coffee or lunch. The homemade cakes are delicious as is the homemade soup. It has an extensive choice of menu and it has a lovely atmosphere.This is a delicatessen as well as a coffee shop and and it has an extremely good choice of cheese.Staff are always warm and friendly.

This place is definitely worth a visit. Situated in the Eastport of Arbroath this delicatessant and cafe is a wee blast from the past. Staff very atentative and food excellent. Nice cosy athmosphere but quite small. Great menu and great selection of specialists cheese, wine etc.very reasonably priced.

I recently visited this amazing little shop by chance. I stopped for coffee and home made cake and ended coming out with cheese from their very well stocked counter. I also found out that they make bespoke hampers to order for any occasion. I ordered one for a wedding anniversary and was delighted with the finished result. This is truly a hidden gem of a shop as it off of the main thoroughfare but one I certainly intend visiting again for various reasons.

A last minute decision to have lunch out took us to Smithies! On arrival I was delighted to see plenty of tables and the decor was quaint! I had a panini which was great and my partner had a baked potato which kept him quiet for a while lol however the service wasn't the fastest and we were keen to have a cake but nobody ever came back so we paid the bill and left! Overall a good visit and lovely lunch.

Talking to a friend about the demise on an Arbroath cheese shop, they said 'but don't you know Smithies?' and no I didn't but now I do. It's been there for years but completely off my radar. Just opposite the train station it is both a cafe and an excellent cheese shop and delicatessen. Good coffee and a fantastic selection of Scottish and other cheeses from further afield. I'm really glad I have found it

we had chosen a 'Moroccan' themed meal which was 3 courses, a glass of wine, coffee and a shot for £21. What a brilliant idea there are other choices - French, Italian, Caribbean and Spanish, they cater for vegetarians and anyone who is fussy. Nice setting within their shop, lighting dimmed, small family run business which comes across staff very friendly and obliging. Would recommend to all to give this a try.
