Wally's in Cardiff

Yesterday a lovely lunch with sandwiches. Good, fresh quality cold cuts, pickles. Good cappuccino. Chaotic service, but we decided to have another sandwich. Again, good quality. Today complete other experience. Ordered a sandwich and coffee again. Chaotic behind the counter and it took ages to get our coffee. One sandwich with cold cuts was fine again, but the one with pear, blue cheese and nuts was drowning in balsamic sauce and something else. Rye bread was soaked up. Stopped eating quickly, but no one came around to ask what was wrong. At the end they wanted to clear the table and I told them: no, my food was not good. Oh sorry, but you can pay at the counter. At the counter mentioned again my sandwich was not good at all: you should have told us before and not eaten your sandwich. But I did not, ask your colleague. No, nothing came back. You have to pay… Made me feel a liar..

Charging mega prices for low quality food, the pic ‘n’ mix nuts were stale and the cannoli tasted like its was sitting on display for few days. Waste of money

Fair prices for delicious foods, with friendly service and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend the deli meats and the gelato, as well as the homemade cannolis.

Old-fashioned cafe. Friendly staff. Quiet time for a coffee and cake

Very friendly staff, First time I've been here for food, will definitely be back 😋

It's one of the best places to buy world and quality food. It's a shame I cannot afford most of their offer, one day 🤞🏻

Nice selection of everything, exceptional staff.

Mint turkish delight! I've scoured the Internet only to find it's sold in Cardiff... Great deli for finding obscure & tempting food produce...

One of my favourite shops ever. Stunning products

Great world wide selection of treats. I really enjoy the deli counter/ cured meats. Not cheap, but very reasonable for the quality.

Great selection of products and friendly service!

it has a large selection of food from Italy which is where I am from and I appreciate the stuff they sell. However their food is a bit overpriced, its like 9 pounds for two cans of tuna which usually cost less than 2 euros in Italy. The food that they sell is delicious, I really love their chocolate covered nuts. It has a wide range of candies. They also sell fresh food such as olives which are amazing. I love that they have lots of different types of pasta which is amazing. They also have some Australian wafers which are quite nice.

Lush local deli with an awesome selection of quality Welsh (and further afield) goodies. Perfect for a foodie treat.

Service in white-coated style. Whatever you want, they probably have it. Honey from Tonyrefail! NB Google this is a shop, not an eatery.

A great place for foody gifts for family and friends, lovely selection of sweet/savoury, as well as the deli section for fresh food. (you can also check out their booze-specialist store for a bigger selection of drinks!)

Want a whisky or gin you may not find in mainstream shops, this is the place .

My wife and I used to go here when we went to Cardiff. An upstairs Cafe so we’ve held off going back until the kids were bigger and no buggies, etc. now aged 6 and 4 we really enjoyed lunch here earlier in the week. I like the meat and cheese platter.

Great lunch. We were there when it was quiet not too long before closing. The waitresses were really lovely and helped us out with info since we were travelling through the area. The food was simple but delicious. My partner had the herring open sandwich and loved it, I had the frankfurter in a pretzel roll with emmental cheese. The crowning glory was the curry ketchup... could've eaten it by the spoonful. We had a few sides, and some crazy (and calorific) ice cream coffees which were an indulgent treat. Finally we shared an apple strudel which was a yummy cherry on top. Overall we spent around £40 and thought that was pretty reasonable for what we had!

Excellent deli👌. Different kinds of olives, sundries tomatoes, pickles and cheese stuffed pepper in the olive bar. Burrata, which is rarely found in Cardiff, is sold there.

It is a great place for relaxing and having fairly quiet lunch. It is a great place to eat lunch and watch the world go by.

We always visit when we’re in Cardiff, lovely food selection and the deli is a must visit

delicious. i have been here a few times with different people. they offer a student discount too for my fellow students out there. the menu has so much variety with so many options to choose from that suits many different diets. my partner is vegetarian and was not short of choices. the staff are the best, so friendly and charming. we got an extra cannoli the first time we visited and the staff just care so much. highly recommend, this place is underrated.

I’ve purchased lots of products from this lovely shop so thought we’d finally actually eat in the cafe. Big disappointment! Four items we ordered were unavailable. There is a note on the menu saying “vegan alternatives available”. No alternative yoghurt or butter. Surely these are basic alternatives. Couldn’t even have a slice of toast! The waitress had no idea what was available and wasn’t that bothered either. Certainly won’t be going there again

Great coffee (had the Verlängerter Schwarzer) and the Christmas Pate on Toast. Good quality food but unfortunately the portion was small for the price. Food in photo was £6.50. The service was polite and professional in general but very attentive.

The shop is great but the staff are not. Staff have zero knowledge on even their own brand coffee - basics such as whether it is suitable for a French press etc - and they were unfriendly and didn’t try to help

I always love wallys so much. Every time I walk in my inner bokke comes out and spend so much in biltong. But you see the thing is that it’s worth it!!!

das Essen ist gut. The only place to eat in Cardiff.

Bought half the deli!! Had our supply of different pasta, olives, sundried tomatoes, various meats and cheeses, crackers, amaretto biscuits. Fabulous deli. Lovely staff. Very welcoming.

Wally’s is a Cardiff tradition- it offers authentic Austrian sandwiches and platters and hot choices too. Home made strudel and other top end patisserie together with an excellent range of teas and coffees

If you like European food this would be a good place to eat when in Cardiff. This company sells a wide range of continental foods in the Delicatessen downstairs then serves some of that food upstairs. The staff were very friendly and the food was served promptly. One word of caution. The food shown on the website is not the same as now being served in restaurant. It is better to choose your food from the restaurant menu. The menu has a good variation but it is based on German and Dutch food. The food is not exactly the cheapest you might expect ( see my photo) but it is the experience.

Absolutely magical shop. I used to come here when I was a kid and brought my partner to shop there and he loved it. You can find anything you want and more in this shop. It's so exciting to try new things. You pay for the quality of what you are getting, so prices are higher than usual but it's what you expect for the quality. The cafe upstairs is also very cute!

What a delight this deli is. When I visit Cardiff I have to go in. The most likely place to find your dream food and drinks. The selection is incredible. This is why this shop has been in the arcade for so long. Olives, baclava, liquor galore. Chocolate and treats Take sometime to explore. So worth the visit.

We were looking for some speciality cheeses and this was definitely a good place for that. Service was personal and staff friendly.

Ogromny wybór lokalnych alkoholi. Mnogość przyprawia o zawrót głowy! Jeśli chcesz zakupić wyjątkowy, niepowtarzalny prezent dla kogoś zajrzyj właśnie do Wally's

As an austrian, it was nice to eat a Sandwich and enjoy a nice coffee. Vegan cake is very good

Was looking at alcohol, had an staff member just stare but made no conversation . Ended up leaving and buying somewhere else.

Combine a willingness to assist and please their customers with great products and you have Wally’s Delicatessen! Enough said!

Superb Excellent choice of delicious food and pleasant service. Nice place

Love going into Wally's so much to choose from, never leave empty handed.

Lovely selection of classic chocolates and sweets

Wunderbar! A classic and unique deli with an upstairs cafe serving Austrian / German food. Try their cheese and meat platters and you won't be disappointed.

One of the finest delicatessens in the city. Great cheese and characterise counters as well as interesting and exotic ingredients from around the world.

Love wallys and the coffee shop upstairs

Such a great selection of food, plus very knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Best place to get all meats/ salami from around the world. Fantastic selection of Cheese , Bread , Olives and much more.

-Friendly staff -Lovely layout -Cafe upstairs -Sells Fairtrade chocolate -Sells Vegan chocolate -Refill tea and coffee section

This shop is, by a million miles, the best shop Cardiff has and will ever have.

Great shop with a wide range of quality independent seemingly produce. Lots of great finds and tastes. Bit pricey, but to be expected.

Best Italian selection of sausage

standard deli prices ,but wallys is a Cardiff legend love their Turkish delight/ perlas and cannolis , a must visit

Been shopping here for years. Dissappointed lately, packets of lardons etc, in good date, but tasted very sour, ruined the meal we put them in. Morello cherry jam, expensive and tasteless, I nearly cracked a tooth on a large stone in the jam, won't be buying that again. Thankgoodness they still have the fresh counters.

The best cup of Earl Grey tea I have ever had plus dreamy apple strudel

Normally love Wally's, I always stop on my way to the train station to get whoever I'm visiting a gift however, after checking the open times, I stopped by yesterday at 3:30 and the store was completely closed up despite online saying they're open until 5:30 :(

Outstanding store over the years, the cafe upstairs has been a frequent spot for us since it opened. I love their range.. they even stock Mahon cheese, literally unseen outside of the Balearic Islands.

The place I go regularly to find french cheese and french cured meat. These are authentic and good quality products. If they don't have something, they will try their best to order it for you. It can seem a bit pricey, but I'd rather eat less but good quality.

Super lunch and picked up some delicious food.

One of the best shops and places to eat in the city. Try the chocolate Brazil's!

Nice atmosphere, great service and very good choices on the menu.

I've been buying at Wally's for years. Fabulous place 👌

One of the best delis I have ever been to. Great meats, cheeses, etc. Wide range of drinks, I could spent ages just browsing!

Great store for various alcohol and food but found the person serving quite miserable and not very helpful shame because it’s a nice shop

Lovely old style deli. A Cardiff institution.

A Cardiff stalwart. Great produce and knowledgeable staff.

As wonderful as usual, pity there wasn't more places like it in Cardiff.

Paid £44 for Welsh single malt!! The same in Tesco £25. I feel robbed and a tad cross.

Wally's Delicatessen is a quirky shop offering all kinds of boutique style food and drinks. It is a perfect shop for Christmas presents, stocking fillers or just for tasty food for home. There is an absolute massive variety of food. Loved especially the different pasta and also the canolli. The cheese counter was very impressive too. The meat counter had a really good variety. The staff were all very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend

Highly recommended one of the best delicatessens I've ever been to full of stock wonderful atmosphere amazing service impeccable in every way

Whenever I'm in town I just have to visit. The food is mouthwatering. You can't get better authentic continental food in my opinion. The cafe is a must visit too! Just beware it gets busy but definitely worth the wait!

Very bad service staff were rude wouldn’t go again

Amazing quality and diverse selection available. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff

Popped in here on lunch for food. Lovely staff really peaceful cafe section, the downstairs has so many goodies I could spend ages browsing

I wanted a specific chilli sauce for exibition purposes I checked Wally's web page and it clearly stated they had it in stock. After catching two buses to get to the store I was annoyed to find they didn't have any. I asked one of the helpers I think he was a Wally and was not very helpful, so if you are far away you need to phone first if what your after is specialised

Absolutely phenomenal. Great food, fantastic staff.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Their meat and cheese board is outrageously good - highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic selection of Italian meats and Welsh cheeses, including the King of Caerphillys, Gorwydd. Incredible selections of all sorts of delicatessen and whiskies. All pretty high-end prices, though, so you come away with less than you'd like simply because you can't afford to spend that much.

Everything you could wish to find in a deli, plus delicious ice-cream and chocolates, including diabetic chocs!

Great place ... a Cardiff institution! Always great food and always great service! Not to be missed when in the Diff.

Delicious place to visit and great 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 cheese selection 😋

Very nice restaurant upstairs, will visit again

Always a good standard staff very good

Superb deli, been going there for over thirty years, excellent produce and family staff.

Very beautiful foods and staff very good friendly and very good communication

What a lucky find this Deli and Coffee House was. Ate in the Cafe and the coffee and cheese platter which we had was amazing quality with lovely tasting cheese selection. These type of places are unfortunately so rare to find nowadays.

Good food in the cafe. Then bought a variety of food in the shop. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic food. Best open sandwich I've ever had. Tried the meat platter today...fantastic great staff very friendly.

Excellent South African selection of goodies, lovely Bolting and Droewors

My favourite stop in Cardiff. When I lived there it was half the size but has grown in the last ten years. Amazing meat and cheese, gorgeous bread. The pantry goods are also amazing if you're missing something continental.

Had lunch at Wallys it wasovely plenty of choice and very pleasant staff .Went down to the deli afterwards .Its a great deli and was spoilt for choice .just love this shop

Great choices and service from all at walleys. Cardiff.

Just awesome, old school German deli in the centre of Cardiff with amazing food, legendary status and deserves it. They sell my favourite South African crisps and serve superb German fare, the frankfurters are fabulous

Good range of food and reasonable prices.

Wallys is a place well worth a visit , you will find the staff very helpful and find some fantastic produce ,wines ,beers and spirits .

Great foods however, quite expensive.

Stopped on for lunch. Good selection and value for money. Would recommend

Lots of foreign food and alcohol to choose from, nice little deli with ple ty of meats and cheeses

Great place for Eastern European food and drinks . Amazing! Situated in one of Cardiff's arcades.

If you want top quality fresh cold food this is the place! A real deal experience. It's food it's sort of craftsmanship and the staff provides a fabulous attention and it's prices are a treat!

Always a delight to shop there,friendly staff.

The BEST Delicatessen that I have ever visited in the UK and still continue to visit whenever I am in Cardiff.

Brilliant food, wonderful staff, very friendly and helpful.
