5 They offer really good food & coffee. Haven't bought any deli from here but could see many customers buying deli from this place. Had lunch couple of times and bought some bread. lunch was fantastic, bread was fresh and delicious. Defn coming back!
5 Fantastic cafe. I can't comment on their deli produce, although that seems incredibly well-stocked and popular, but I can comment on the cafe. The food is made fresh and there is always something new to try. I am particularly fond of their toasties, pumpkin bread rolls and meatballs. In winter, they put on a range of homemade soups with crusty bread. Lots of lovely salads. The ladies are adorable and make the food with love. The coffee is superb. Looking forward to having a sit-down meal once again, when COVID-19 is over. For now, takeaway will have to do.
4 Laid back locals cafe and deli.Good coffee and small selection of cakes etc. Friendly staff . Having to use their one only customer toilet was a bit strange having to take a key attached to a chain attached to a one pint metal jug to unlock the door at rear of store and use same key to lock door once in .Very fiddly if your in a hurry. But I suppose they did at least have a toilet
5 The coffee and food is wonderful and staff are nice. Pricey but worth the price. Also has a good sense of community, you can even borrow umbrellas from the cafe in wet weather events. Perfect for a Queenslander who has moved to Melbourne and is learning the weather can be chaotic. Will continue to support this business through my time in Melbourne.
4 A little taste of Italy in the middle of Coburg. Great deli smells as soon as you walk in, large range of meats, cheeses, etc. They ran out of roast veg panini, but managed to make a fresh one when asked. Great service....
Customers often enjoy the coffee selections like Double Espresso and Piccolo, as well as toasted sandwiches such as Ham and Cheese or Ham and Swiss. The sausage roll and fresh bread are also favorites.
The cafe suits both quick stops and relaxed visits, offering takeaway and dine-in options in a casual setting.
The Deli Coburg tends to be popular during lunch hours, so visiting earlier or later in the day might offer a quieter experience.
It’s great for solo dining or casual meetups, with a friendly atmosphere and seating options that accommodate different group sizes.
The cafe offers free street parking, wheelchair-accessible entrance, and accepts card and mobile payments for convenience.
