The Abbey Deli in Bath and North East Somerset

We were lucky enough to visit here on a recent weekend visit to Bath . It was our friends special birthday & as avid Bridgerton Fans we wanted to make sure that we could reserve something extra special for her so booked in advance . They took note of our, extensive list of allergies (which sadly another well-known establishment failed to do, see other reviews) The Madame Delacroix afternoon Tea did not disappoint , fresh , tasty , varied and most importantly catered for the allergies . The service was second to none , so friendly and accommodating , simply could not do enough for us . The location in the beautiful Abbey Green was lovely ,even non Bridgerton fans would love it , right next to the Abbey and of course the icing of the cake (no pun intended ) was eating in the Modiste's actual fitting room that was used in filming. Interestingly , they serve a very well-known companies pot of jam , which now living in the same village , I have eaten a few of their afternoon teas & have to say The Abbey Deli knocks spots off of anything I have had there for freshness , variety & service. Thank you so much for giving us such perfect memories . Will definitely return when next in the area.

Good value. Friendly staff. I had the chicken, ham, and leek pie with a salad and my wife had the feta, spinach and fill slice with a salad. Both were very good. Salad was large and fresh. Good coffee also. Highly recommended

Lovely little spot for a quick bite. We arrived and knew we wanted something quickly as our 2 year old was hungry! A quick walk later and we got here! Lovely staff. Lovely food! Thank you ☺️

First and foremost a must-see spot for any Bridgerton fans, where the Modiste was filmed, the Abbey Deli is the perfect cafe hideaway, tucked in a side-street near Bath Abbey. The exterior is bright and welcoming, in keeping with that of the friendly staff and homely decor. The atmosphere was very relaxed. With a wide variety of delicious cakes (the sticky toffee cake was incredible) and savoury options, the deli has something for everyone! I was only in the city for two days and visited the deli on both occasions. Love the Modiste merchandise range, fully recommend if you’re a fan - the character teas are delicious (I bought Queen Charlotte, an earl grey with notes of violet which was a nice surprise!) Thank you Abbey Deli team, hope to visit again!

Amazing afternoon tea at The Abbey Deli - it was utterly beautiful but also delicious !!! We couldn't believe the variety of cakes and sandwiches and all were so fresh and tasty. We couldn't finish it all and had to box up the remainder and take it home. The chef was on top of her game (we've eaten lots of afternoon tea in London) and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. 100% will be taking our next visitors to Bath back to the Abbey Deli. The setting is perfect - next to the Abbey & Roman Baths and a must visit for any fans of Bridgerton !

Great service, great location, great food. Seated group of 6 inside - quirky, relaxed place super convenient for the central city area. Well done Abbey Deli - we'll be back...

We had a fantastic afternoon tea here recently. The quality of the food was excellent, generous portions, all homemade and presented beautifully. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back, and have recommended it to our friends and family.

Our family of 12 stopped information a quick bite before leaving Bath. It was late afternoon and while they were sold out of some things, what they had was good

This is a great little deli/restaurant near the Roman Baths, but slightly hidden (GPS will guide you). We found the deli by accident while looking for a quick place to eat before reboarding our tour bus. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating given our limited time. The selection of baked items and meat pies is impressive and all very tasty. You can either "take away" or use their small dining area to eat, we elected to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable, and service is outstanding. We highly recommend The Abbey Deli for a quick bite and a pleasant visit.

What a fantastic place to stop for coffee or breakfast. Very welcoming owners, the whole place had a friendly atmosphere. The cafe is decorated beautifully and perfect for some photos. The food was perfect and we felt it was very well priced. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

We were staying next door in Elton House and wanted a space for an extended family lunch and reunion. The Abby Deli team were very willing to help and provided us with a great venue. Food was great, staff were great and the Bridgerton fans were ecstatic. Thank you for all your help. It made our day.

Excellent tasting coffee from a local company, nice selection of cakes and lovely interior to this cafe. Cosy but spacious and homely feel, without it being twee. Friendly, warm and accommodating staff.

Nice food, good location. Some of our breakfast items were cold which isn’t ideal. The poached eggs were cooked beautifully. Overall a nice breakfast and visit again if we were in the area.

Lovely homemade quiche and tasty selection of side salads, however quiches not as tasty as previous visits, due to reduction in cheeses used, sadly this made the quiche a bit bland, would rather pay a little more rather than lose out on flavour.

Really good food, fast service and a nice atmosphere - always say yes to the side salad! A great lunch right next to the Abbey Square :)

I had to go into Bath (Thursday 31st August) to have my phone sorted out. For some reason I felt really low about things. First of all I received wonderful service from the Apple store, even though I hadn't booked. Then I went seeking somewhere really nice for a coffee and perhaps something different than a generic breakfast, something healthier. Still feeling a bit low I looked at the Abbey Deli, walked past, and then walked back. Well, I couldn't have had a better welcome!!! A young woman with startling eyes first of all made me feel human. I had noticed salads mentioned outside, and asked about it. I was told they were not ready, but the guy said he could create one, and reeled off several. I must have just said yes, and leave it to him. Unbelievably I received everything he had said, and received an incredible salad. The salad reminded me of an amazing cafe years ago bottom of Milsom Street entered via a gift shop, much missed. Well, today I'm taking my wife into Bath to pick up my phone, and the next destination is Abbey Deli. A big thank you to all the staff, and the wonderful layout as well. The young woman was surprised I insisted on a 15% tip on my card when I paid up front, but I knew something special was going to happen and I was right! Thank you again, I really felt human again! warmest regards, Alan

Customer service skills - zero! Unpleasant experience! So strange? Why are they even open? Didn’t stay to try anything!

Such a shame, this used to be a fantastic tucked away little eatery that we loved , but the rude,uninterested “too cool” staff have ruined it ! luckily they will always have new customers due to the huge influx of tourists Bath receives, i say luckily because if they had to rely on repeat customers theyd have gone out of business long ago.

What a shame. Prime position but….my lunch was thumped down onto the table and not even in front of me. Not a great choice for gluten free now. Use to be so good. I will just let the tourists go there and find a better place for us locals.

We visited the deli before our Bridgerton tour We pre booked a cream tea for two which was 19.99 each and it was amazing Offered a box to take the rest home as we were full and no problem at all for unlimited drinks with the cream tea We were sat near the counter and so unfortunately we could hear the staff conversations This was the only part that we must say was not great! We heard the young lady serving and the man with a beard talking about two paying customers One conversation they were moaning about vegan customers as the lady was asking about different options available left to eat behind the counter shelf . Then an elderly lady who was asking for a table to be cleared and ordered slowly These two members of staff then talked to the other male worker about these two customers and was telling him to go around the corner to look Very unprofessional and rude ! I see other reviews from customers about this sort of thing was left on trip advisor in the past ! Shame as we really enjoyed the cream tea My husband did notice the man with the beard had a rude tone of voice at times to customers but was always polite to us

Lovely place but found it unfriendly and unwelcoming. Only interacted with a male member of staff who was dismissive and not particularly helpful. Food was thrown at us . No smile or enjoy your food . Basic lunch . Pasties and a handful of bagged salad (green leaves cost us £4) No goodbye or thanks as we left. I think if you're a regular they fawn over you but as a visitor to Bath did not find it welcoming. Wouldn't recommend or visit again sadly . Ps wasn't particularly busy when we were there so I won't accept that as a reason for no attention or Basic customer service

We came here for breakfast rather than eating at our hotel and were really pleased we did. Staff were friendly and the full English breakfast was huge and really delicious, with no problem of being gluten free. Would highly recommend.

Super friendly team providing a breakfast fit for Kings! Could not recommend highly enough!! Venue has a wonderful ambience and we’ll definitely be back.

Charming and lovely coffee house. Good carrot cake too. All very clean and efficient staff. Will certainly return when next in the city.

This is a very relaxed and comfortable place to eat beautiful home cooked food while sampling the lovely range of teas and coffees on offer. Well worth a visit if you are in Bath.

We were looking for lunch , after arriving by train with our walking group for our trip to Bath . Where we used to eat is now a Tapas Bar , so we came upon the Abbey Deli in Abbey Street . What a delightful...

We had tea in cake here whilst visiting Bath. It’s featured in Netflix’s Bridgerton! It was very cosy and pretty. I had orange and lime cake it was very nice! lovely China tea cups and plates. loved it here.

Came to the Christmas market, googled a place to eat for breakfast as been travelling for 2 hours and this place came up first. Found the place a little strange, felt jumped on as soon as we walked in asking if we wanted a table....

We were tempted in by the charming setting and the promise of quiche! The quiche was good (although it had a soggy bottom due to being heated in a microwave) but the salads were disappointing - they were like basic quality ready made supermarket salads...

Popped in for lunch. Lovely place. Quite quirky, but light and airy. We all had the homemade quiche and salad - well, it came with four different salads. Delicious. Would highly recommend. Thankyou 😊

Went here for breakfast Saturday 29th October. Eggs florentine - stone cold! Waited 45 minutes and they made it on 1 slice of cheap supermarket bread!!! £8.95. Absolute RIP OFF!! Terrible service with 45 minute wait and ****dreadful**** excuse for Eggs florentine. Never again Abbey...

It was very understated service by the staff but that enhanced the experience somehow. We had food from the breakfast menu - even at midday - and it was exquisite; my crushed avocado had just the right amount of chilli. We took cake for later...

We had a really tasty home lunch with quiche and various salad items . Service was very friendly . My partner also had a wonderful homemade cake for afters .

We had lunch here as the food looked very nice from the window, but the food was not very flavorful. We had quiche with salad and the salad was nice, but the quiche was bland. We also had a piece of cake (orange/lemon/lime I believe)...

I wouldn't reccomend this café. After travelling through Bath to find somewhere to eat, we stumbled upon The Abbey Deli. Its safe to say that the food was sub standard, cheap bread, basic coffee and all for a ridiculous price. The quality did not reflect...

On a whim we walked in for lunch - and had literally the best meal since we've been in England, in a beautiful and unique out-of-the-way setting. One of us had the samosas, another a sausage roll, and I had the quiche. All had amazing...

Friendly tea rooms with good selection of coffees, teas and cakes and a small breakfast menu. Cute decor, several rooms to sit in inside or enjoy the sun outside near the Abbey

We won’t return to this cafe. We ordered breakfast, our drinks arrived & then we waited….. & waited…… & waited. We watched others who’d arrived long after ourselves being served & then asked where our breakfasts were. We were told they’d had a lot of...

Although local, we hadn't been to Bath for quite a long time, so thought we'd take a look at what was on offer, food-wise in the many eateries it still has to offer. We discovered the Abbey Deli and just one look from the doorway...

It's a superior salad! Lovely people and lovely food don't expect a limp bit of lettuce and watery tomato it's a lovely accompaniment to a very tasty quiche or sandwich. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoys nice food in a lovely setting. Apparently some TV...

I was shopping with my daughter and we stopped off here for lunch which was very nice. Service was excellent and choice very good, including vege. options, salads, etc.

Amazing Food, huge portions and lovely staff. They sell Bridgerton merchandise but it is not as touristy as you would expect.

The gentleman who served us was rather off hand and we felt like an inconvenience rather than a paying customer. No proper cups and saucers due to dishwasher failure. The table was dirty and my son was told to help himself to drink from the...

This is too bad to see this deli was one of the place they filmed Bridgerton. I was with a friend and asked the staff about the menu. They said there is none, it's all on display behind the glass. The drinks in the fridge...

I travelled to Bath with three friends and we visited the Abbey Deli on Sat 26 Feb 2022. We had breakfast and the staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. One of my friends ordered the full veggie breakfast and when it arrived the waiter...

Had lunch here but service was not good as my friend’s food arrived a long time before my order. Food was Ok but choice not great. There was a fridge with limited soft drinks you had to choose from before ordering. This was not clear....

We stumbled upon this and it was just what we needed - a friendly independent to have a light lunch and a warm drink & cake. I had a quiche and salad, and the salad was 4 really tasty little scoops of salads (pasta, coleslaw,...

Lovey cosy cafe, beautiful decor, nice food and good coffee. However, we were made to feel rather uncomfortable by the staff behind the counter making disrespectful comments about customers and how they just wanted people out so they can close. A young lady in particular...

Food and coffee adequate, but staff noisily conducting their social lives dominated our visit. Owners could learn a lot from the Thoughtful bakery.

The man that served me (young with a beard) immediately and loudly told the female server how much I tipped, in front of me as I was paying. The sausage roll was Devine but our breakfast eggs were hard boiled.

Visited this cafe on Monday, I ordered a tea, bacon sandwich & a rocky road the cake was so hard I asked a member of staff to cut it & it took 2 of them but it was impossible to eat I asked them to...

Thank you for a perfect brunch experience. The service was excellent, the food was a treat, the ambience was just right, you could tell that much love and care went into the design of the decor and the building itself was full of character...and all...

We only went in because of the good reviews and the dog friendly appeal. You have to order at the counter and someone brings you the drinks. The dog kept finding food on the floor and the floor was sticky. Our coffees were fine. I...

After bad experience elsewhere we went to the abbey deli and people were so friendly, food fantastic, cakes good value and all we had was tasty, so accommodating for my granddaughter of 2 weeks who was in a pram, nothing was too much trouble A...

Visited around 11am on a Monday. Came highly recommended. Decor is lovely. Observed quite a few members of staff behind the counter. Large group of diners at the back made staff quite flustered thus getting orders of other Patrons mixed up. Mine included, promise of...

Needed to get out of the rain on a visit to bath. Saw this little coffee shop and looked inviting. Warm welcome, pleasant atmosphere and found out it had been used in the filming of BRIDGERTON !, fab service from a young lady who had...

This deli was great for a lovely lunch in Bath. It's perfectly located (the local square is adorable) and the food was delicious. I had a ciabatta and, when asked if I wanted salad, I didn't expect the gorgeous range of salad bits I was...

Stopped here for a cake and tea! Massive slice of bakewell cake which was delicious! Looked like lots of other yummy food on offer too. Only thing is beware of the pigeons!!

Attractively decorated cafe close to the Abbey and Baths. The service seemed very slow, but when our food eventually arrived it was freshly prepared and quite nice. I was initially tempted by the cauliflower cake which was on display but changed my mind as it...

There aren't enough words to praise this place. As soon as you walk in the display of mouth watering food would tempt you from any diet, and the coffees amazing too.

Real effort has been put in to make this place so great. All homemade sandwiches, bagels etc served with a homemade salad which is to die for. So happy we stumbled upon this place when looking for a bit of brunch.
