The Alberts Deli in Richmond upon Thames

Nice and sweet little coffee shop / restaurant ❤️ Food is made fresh, with care and love. Amazing valve and the staff are super kind and friendly specially Belle . Highly recommend coming here for a healthy lunch and their cakes 🤤🤤😋😋

What a pity! Was lured in due to good reviews but the food was bland, service subpar and was not at all worth what we paid. Cakes were served first without cutlery. Our toastie was uncooked, coming out cold with cheese not even melted and had to be sent back, not that it helped the abysmally bland flavour. The chicken sandwich didn't taste of much. The orange and polenta cake was like eating orange flavoured sand. The only half decent thing we ate was the pecan pretzel brownie but it wasn't anything to rave about. I wanted this place to be good, but we would have been better off at McDonald's!

My fave local cafe. Excellent food, staff… and music.

Best Avocado on toast w/feta, lime, chilli flakes & poached egg. 😋😋😋

Hands down the best breakfast I have ever had absolutely beautiful

The staff are very friendly and always very helpful and have of all the things I need. They are local and small shops need to be supported.

Amazing cafe! Wonderful food, friendly staff. Definitely 5 stars.

Very cute local deli. Sandwiches are lovely and their pastries are super fresh. You get all your staples, and there is always something exciting to try!

A local gem, been going for 14 years and the owner and staff our amazing (shout out Cathy sue and Steph) Food is also fantastic.

I’ve been infrequently visiting this cafe for 4 years purely due to convenience as I live round the corner. The cafe itself is attractive from the outside and the food is fine, but the lady who owns the establishment has a supercilious attitude that has grated upon both my husband and me since we first visited. This ranges from the overbearing enforcement of mask wearing even after government diktats had been removed, to the general irritating abrasive attitude towards paying customers that I’ve witnessed and also received. In summary, I’d describe the food as alright but the management, customer service and waiting times for your order is fairly poor.

Best Club Sandwich in London by far.

A beautiful boutique deli with fresh brunch and delicious coffee! I could eat here all day!

Love their avocado toast; .. and their pastries! The food is generally exceptional.. . so is their coffee!

Yummy breakfast! The waffle brunch meal was just what I wanted. Comes with a fried egg, bacon, and maple syrup. Atmosphere was wonderful. A quiet, cool, easy going morning spot.

had the vegan sandwich. It was amazing!

What a beautiful little gem in Richmond! So charming and cosy. Highly recommend the hazelnut and chocolate torte, so yummy !!!😍😍

Have been coming here for the last few days; used to visit quite often a few years ago. Delicious, healthy food, great coffee and fantastic music, jazz and blues and all the best classics. Could sit here for hours just for the music. Really good, attentive service and really tasty brunch dishes. 10/10.

A wonderful local cafe and deli. Tables inside and out. As well as consistently delicious breakfast, lunch options, and cake, the deli stocks a broad range of interesting and high quality wine, cheese, vegetable, bread, oils , teas and other larder items that make great last minute gifts. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. My only criticism is that their coffee is pretty dreadful. It’s a shame, as this often steers me away. Recommend they get on top of their coffee game to earn their rightful place as top in their class in Richmond.

Such gem and astonishing food! Very friendly services and atmosphere!

Brilliant Breakfast with friendly staff

My lunch today was to die for. Stef made such a lovely avo toast and my partner enjoyed the waffle breakfast. We definitely will be coming back.

I had an amazing brunch experience. The avocado toast with a perfectly poached egg was absolutely delightful, the flavors were fresh and vibrant. The eggs royale with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce was equally impressive, with a rich and creamy sauce that paired wonderfully with the delicate salmon. The presentation was also top-notch, making the dishes look as good as they tasted. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a pleasant dining experience.

Quaint deli. Great food! The cakes are soooo good!!

A hidden gem! My favourite cafe but it's too good to gatekeep

An early 8am breakfast before Kew Gardens we found the Alberts deli. The breakfast was excellent. The frittata was delicious. The oat milk flat white hot and strong. Lovely pot of tea too. There are lots of deli goodies and cakes to crave! The lovely ladies who work there are so friendly and smiley thank you. Best start to the day.

Super local cafe / deli / off licence for sit in or takeaway - great breakfasts and lunches freshly made.

Had such a wonderful experience at The Albert's Deli!! We were so well looked after by Cathy-Sue and her lovely team 😊 Thank you so much, what a great spot!!

Love Albert’s… a charming little slice of Richmond!

This is a small but lovely spot. We sat outside at one of three small table. Inside the place is quite attractive and the staff was very nice. We each ordered. a full English breakfast and coffees. There were generous portions and the food was delicious.

A little Richmond gem. Delicious fresh food. We had breakfast and the lovely staff went off menu to make me the sweet waffle dish I wanted.

My favourite place in Richmond for 15 year!! You gotta go!

Lovely cafe, off the beaten track in Richmond. There isn't much seating, but it's very comfortable if you can sit. If you can't, great to get a takeaway away option too. We had the waffle breakfast and a full English - both delicious. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. The offering of cakes and treats at the till looked incredible, so we will definitely be back to try those.

Busy period but atmospheric deli where we sat out front

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend.

I found this cafe by chance on a trip to England, and it was my favorite cafe on this trip. Atmosphere, food, music I like them all. Ordered a sausage roll, chocolate cookie, and hot Americano. Very delicious 😋 I will go again when I come to the UK.

Great place for breakfast. Polite, friendly attentive staff. Great selection of healthy food to choose from. We went 4 days in a row while staying nearby

We had our brunch there. A small cafe, full of fresh food. They have fewer vegetarian options. We had sandwiches, toasties, cookies, pasta salad, and a vegetarian breakfast all were very tasty. Potion size for vegetarian breakfast, cheese toasties, and hummus sandwich were good but in the Avocado toast, they had given only 1 sourdough toast, which I feel is less though the quantity of avocado was big. Their desserts were delicious too. We were disappointed with their coffees, which were not good. I had mocha but it didn't taste like it at all. They just need to work on their coffee as their food was very good. The staff was friendly, and the service was good.

Delicious Turkish eggs, disappointing coffee (it's ok i guess if you like Italian coffee)

Lovely, teeny weeny little place with great cakes and bacon/sausage sarnies to go. Have never sat in but there are always a lots of happy looking locals ensconced so assume food to have in is just as good!

We went in a Monday morning. Plenty of seats. Best breakfast we had on our trip to England.

the coffee here was amazing and the staff were very kind but i couldn’t give the veggie breakfast anything higher than 3 stars. for £14 you’d expect something more than this. could be improved with mushrooms, avocado, potatoes, halloumi etc. could get something 10x better at somewhere such as ‘bobo and wild’ for the same price.

Very pleasant staff, great meals and a large selection of good looking baked goods:) Not too much seating but we were lucky to get a table outside! They welcome leashed dogs.

Lovely micro deli/cafe. Great atmosphere, delicious food. Seats 11 people in and 8 outside.

I love this place, I often take guests here when they visit, or suggest it to friends to meet. It’s small and cosy and sometimes have to wait for a table, but usually never for long.

Loved the vibe of this deli and they have an amazing, varied menu. I had the club sandwich which was EPIC. Good coffee and cakes too. I'll try their evening dining option next!

What a find! Tasty food, superb service where nothing was too much trouble. The perfect find after a mammoth walk in the park! Thanks guys!

Really lovely venue/ atmosphere, excellent food (breakfast) and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!

Went in today for lunch after a very gruelling walk in Richmond park. This place warmed my heart, through is amazing food and sensational service. If I lived closer I would be back all the time - what an absolute gem of a place!

Excellent deli food. Coffee was not at the same standard though.

The eggs Benedict was really nice . Very busy which is always a good sign . Would return .some of the cakes look amazing

Very nice Deli. Great food coffee and wines. Limited seating. Sometimes food service a bit slow but nothing really to complain about.

Wonderful deli! Well worth checking out.

Toastie was good but prices on the menu are not what they charge at the till. We ordered a pastrami melt and she charged us £9 to eat in. I asked why the difference when all the menus say 8.50 and there wasn’t a clear reasoning

The best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. We had a lovely lunch, homemade veggie quiche a lovely Asian salad, soup and a toasite rounded off with coffee and carrot cake. Beautiful food, amazing ambience. Can’t wait to return!

One of my favourite places in Richmond. Come here every day for my coffee and breakfast snack. The staff are always so warm and friendly and the deli is such a lovely feature of our community. Keep up the good work.

Highly recommend the Deli’s Thursday/Friday night dinner offering. Food was superb (beef rib was to die for), atmosphere was a comfortable mix of sophisticated and neighbourly. Can’t comment on the wine component as I don’t drink, but everyone else seemed to be loving it. Relaxed, friendly, just a lovely way to spend an evening and enjoy some excellent food, without having to travel too far (or pay exorbitant central London restaurant prices). This is a new venture for Cathy-Sue and her Alberts Deli staff and she is knocking it out of the park.

Just had dinner at my lovely local deli which is now doing a dinner service on Thurs and Fridays, as well as cheese and charcuterie boards with wine. The food was amazing - a lovely selection of nibbles to start, a sublime beef rib main course and a surprise pud which was delicious. Lovely staff and a really nice cozy but sophisticated evening vibe. And a really good price. I don’t drink but the wine list was impressive. So impressed. Thank you Cathy-Sue I shall be back….

Lovely spot - a short walk from all the boring venture capital chain cafes in the town centre. Good coffee, great food, good service and reasonable, too.

Lovey little cafe! It’s a little cramped to eat inside on busy periods, but the food is lovely and the service is fantastic. We had a small issue with the orange juice we bought and it was immediately resolved when we raised it with the team. Will likely be back soon ☺️

We sat outside and had a lovely breakfast. Deli looked amazing with fresh bread on the side.

The service was shocking, they didnt even wipe clean the tables from the last people who used it, both our cutlery was dirty and had to change them. The food was ok, and the coffee was lukewarm. I don’t think I would go back

It’s difficult to write something negative about this cafe which serves very good food with friendly service. However my 3 stars review is due solely to the frankly unacceptable situation of trash being stored right next to where the outside tables are located. I realize that there’s probably limited space but maybe some sort of screen could be erected to at least keep this out of sight when you’re eating your lunch etc? Otherwise great place.

Cute little deli in Richmond. They do a fantastic breakfast/brunch, I’ve particularly enjoyed the Turkish eggs! Would also recommend the sandwiches, cakes and cookies. It’s usually quite busy so sometimes there can be a bit of a wait for a table but it’s worth it!

Our favourite place for breakfast in Richmond! Mouthwatering displays and well-stocked fridges all served with bountiful bonhomie from Cathy-Sue and her crew. A lovely community spot in the heart of The Alberts and well worth supporting. Just don’t be tempted by their brownies too often!

Cute little deli... I had a take away experience of a soggy spinach roll and double espresso which looked like and tasted like a filter coffee that burned my tongue. Never again!

This is one of our favourite places to eat in Richmond. The BLT sandwich was one of the best ever in my life. My fiance had the chicken which was super yummy. I love that they pay attention to the detail in this place. Affordable and a great cosy atmosphere too. We will definitely be back!

Great service, coffee and pastries

Great flat white,unfortunately I’m on a diet so couldn’t treat myself to the delicious cakes and treats.Lovely friendly staff.

Went for breakfast, very very good. Turkish eggs were perfect, coffee just right. What a lovely place and lovely staff. The deli looks brilliant as well, they stock our favourite Sicilian olive oil, at a good price (Centoze).

Amazing must visit for brekkie. Super friendly staff and delicious food and desserts!!!absolutely loved it

Great options for brunch. Homey feel to the place, probably because it's small and has cosy wooden decor. Friendly service. Not suitable for bigger groups as the tables are small round ones perfect for 2.

A must go in Richmond. Food amazing. Lovely place and staff.

My best avocado/ poached egg breakfast ever…. And it’s so cosy and friendly. Have also tried their lunches that never disappoints:-)

I am a first timer at the Delhi whuch was suggested as a meeting place by a friend. We had to wait for a table but i didn't mind as it was worth it for my delicious veg breakfast.

We were in vacation and asked our host for a good place to go out for breakfast to have a traditional englisch breakfast. He gave us the tip to go to the Alberts deli. We need over a hour to get there and it was really worth! The breakfast was excellent. I had a vegetarian one. The people who work there are so friendly and the local is nicely furnished. If we are in London again we will definitive come back! You should go there! If you don't you miss something 😉

Pot of tea and orange polenta cake: sublime!

My go to breakfast spot in Richmond. Great products

Good Bacon sandwich and coffee Bit slow on service. Friendly welcome and pleasant staff...

Really cute deli with a few tables. I had the pastrami melt toastie, it was absolutely delicious, great choice! Cakes looked fab but I stuck with the sammo and a very good americano coffee. Only downside is that they don't have a customer toilet, but you can the pubs next door

Small place but tasty breakfast

This spot is absolutely delightful! Friendly service with a smile, great breakfast and the staff is very kind and welcoming. Fresh breads, pastries, and coffee-to-go is also available. Recommend!

Such a lovely coffee shop and deli located at Richmond’s town center. Delicious food, pastries and coffee 👌🏽

Hidden gem. Absolutely outstanding service, delicious food and cosy place. We loved it!

It's been 6 months since I moved to Richmond and I've only just found this gem of a brunch place. In my opinion far superior to the chain places in town. Seating is limited so arrive after lunch time to ensure there is space for me at brunch....

One of the best brunches I have ever had. We took a toast with brie, caramelized onions and bacon, Turkish eggs and a traditional English breakfast and everything was delicious. The staff is smiley and the place itself is lovely. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic range of sandwiches & sweet treats. Delicious coffee too :) Staff are very attentive & super welcoming. The perfect place to visit for brunch.

This deli is an absolute gorgeous choice for a tranquil and quiet breakfast. They had some smooth jazz playing in the background, and had an array of different cakes and treats to choose from; making me want to come back for more. The staff were polite and precise with my order, always with a smile on their face. A simple gesture, but made my experience even that more friendly.

Delicious sandwiches & custard tarts! Staff are very friendly

delectable assortment of unique options- pine nut spinach roll, pork apple burger and passion fruit carrot cake although the outdoor seating available wasn’t the most ergonomical

Living around the corner from The Alberts Deli the past year has been a pleasure. Great food, pastries, and coffee. I bring all my friends here when they visit!

Great coffee, great food and great people running the shop. Highly recommended.

Bit expensive for half a cup of tea with breakfast

The home of the ‘full Albert’ breakfast managed to bond strangers as a wedding party got in full swing at a nearby pub. The breakfasts had led the devotee on my left to enthuse that we should all meet there in the morning and have Full Alberts. Although I didn’t make it, I made a mental note: A deli must be more than worth its weight in Hollandaise sauce to interrupt flowing draughts of Asahi and flutes of celebratory fizz. How’s Alberts’? has become a conversation piece ever since. Still amazing, is the default reply. Plonking myself down with a dear friend at one of the outside bistro tables four months later, it was time to see if this dinky eaterie could live up to the merry recommendation. Wrapped around a corner on a back street, it has a boutique feel but I was reassured to see HP sauce and tomato ketchup ready and waiting alongside the miniature daffodils. The Alberts Deli has an unassuming charm in its corner of Richmond Upon Thames I ordered a cappuccino and a croissant, the former being delivered to the table piping hot – take note, mega-chain – in a moss green mug. My companion had the same drink plus a wholesome sausage sandwich. Both coffees had a light powdering of chocolate, a delicate touch from someone behind a counter and glass cabinet stacked with in-house savouries including giant sausage rolls. As my friend had placed the order, I crossed the threshold for the first time to ask for jam, to which a welcoming member of staff held up a near-overflowing wicker basket of preserves and invited me to help myself. I felt like a big kid invited to pile in, but preserved a degree of adult modesty by taking a mini-pot each of marmalade and raspberry. Fuller ensembles await. There’s the ‘Full Albert’, which comes with “two of everything”, plus beans and toast, for £10.95, and there’s also an avocado on toast with feta, lime, chilli flakes and a poached egg for £8.95. Having unscientifically validated my drinking companion’s recommendation and, feeling like I’d had a taste of local folklore, I’ll be back for a bigger bite. Charming to a tee, Albert’s house is perfect for casual diners, those soaking up Japanese lager and a side adventure after the most blessed of occasions.

Absolutely enjoyed brunch here.

The deli is beautifully laid out but the coffee needs improvement. Coffee is tasteless but charged at upmarket deli prices. See Richmond Hill Bakery for example of good coffee.

The food is nice, the personnel is polite and welcoming. I just wish they cover the food on the counter, particularly as they allow dogs in there

Great coffee, really friendly staff

I visited Alberts for the first time recently and bought a pastrami sandwich to take away. The sandwich was very nice and the service good. I had been hoping that they would have a true pastrami sandwich with large amounts of pastrami and not much else! However that was not the case and such sandwiches are still hard to find outside the East End.

Delicious and high quality takeaway bacon and sausage sandwiches! Yummy
